You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!





Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

[singurarity]

... Well, I see why they wanted us to bundle up.

[ In a parka and everything?? ]

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa is just like.

Thriving up here.

Thankfully he's not afraid of heights (looks at Rui), so he's just clutching to the edge of the basket as he peers out.

WHOAAAAA...]

Incredible...!

[... oh wait Ritsuka said something.]

Ah--are you cold still?

[singurarity]

I'm okay! [ Pink-cheeked from the air, but she'll shoot him a thumbs up. ]

Believe me, I've been in a lot colder! [ And had no pants. ]

[aspirings]

[uh]

The way you respond to things to reassure people is really worrying sometimes.

[singurarity]

But obviously I'm okay?

[aspirings]

Right... that is good.

It just seemed like you were implying that you've been freezing before.

[singurarity]

--So anyway, have you ever been this high up before?

[ MOVING ON. ]

[aspirings]

[uh huh...]

This high? No, never. It does give me ideas though!

[Think of how cool Rui would find it if they did a show up in the sky like this...? Sure, he's not sure of the mechanics yet, but still!]

It's amazing to see how small the ground truly looks from here.

[singurarity]

Right? It's nice to just enjoy it from the sky.

[ Instead of rushing towards it!! ]

[aspirings]

[instead of

WHAT

ritsuka

... he decides to uh, not ask.]

Like this, it really does feel like we're soaring, even though we're not moving particularly fast.

[!!!

FINALLY... SOARING PEGASUS...]

I'd like to capture this feeling again, when not in the sky like this.

[singurarity]

The feeling of soaring, just on the ground?

[ Well, that's ambitious. ]

[aspirings]

That's right!

[hmhmhmhm!!]

That's what seeing an incredible performance can do! The audience gets swept up in another world and time, and before they know it, they're flying too!

[singurarity]

It does seem kind of a waste that you're not a contestant, you know.

[ It'd be even livelier. ]

[aspirings]

[wdym]

Hm? I'm not sure what you mean.

But I do know that the role of host suits me perfectly! Ha ha ha ha!

[well ok]

[singurarity]

Yeah? Do you get threatened often?

[ Poor guy. ]

[aspirings]

[????]

Oh, you mean the brief snafus that happened last week. I wouldn't worry about it! I'm sure everything will be perfectly fine from here on out.

[singurarity]

... [ is this wishful thinking or willful denial or-- ]

Well, I hope so! We've got our work cut out for us either way.

[aspirings]

[it's stupidity thank u for asking]

Maybe so! But anything worth working hard for is sure to turn out incredibly when you do finally succeed!

[singurarity]

Fair enough! I really hope everyone can find love, if they're looking for it.

--Well, they will, I'm sure of it.

[aspirings]

That's the spirit! And for everyone who isn't searching for love... my goal is to see them leave the show satisfied, whatever that may look like for them.

[singurarity]

Akechi-kun said he wants to just... go live anywhere else. I think that might be good for him.

[ yeah. ]

[aspirings]

[yeah]

... At a certain point... a fresh start is the kindest option someone can be offered, right?

[singurarity]

Yeah... that's what I think, anyway. I think he's willing to work towards it, at least.

[ So that's something. ]

[aspirings]

And you've been encouraging him in that, have you?

[singurarity]

Yep! Of course I have.

[ Like. This is only a natural thing to do? ]
