()<Speaker>Crew</Speaker>||:What was that?! What happened?! Why did it short out all of a sudden?!
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:While everyone around starts panicking in the dark, you smile serenely. +You know it is truly Franchouchou's time to shine.

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<黑屏2><BIN>578</BIN>:...You lean against the wall in a deserted corridor inside the Live House after the performance.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:...Sure. Sure, that's great.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You take care to keep your voice soft as you talk through the phone. Franchouchou has had an exhausting day, and you don't wish to disturb their rest.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Of course, no problem.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_tele_disconnect</SE1>:You hang up the call at last and let out a long sigh.

NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Ninja</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:Answer me!
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale><同时置暗>||:Yes, the organizer wishes to keep collaborating with Franchouchou, and they've proposed a new project.
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Ninja</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:What project?
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale><同时置暗>||:They want Franchouchou to do a charity concert. It will be broadcast on TV, and part of the profit will be go into promoting Saga's tourism. That includes preserving traditional arts and crafts, conserving historical sites and heritage, funding businesses that sell local specialties and souvenirs, etc.
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Ninja</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<BGM>BGM_Saga_AVG_Dusk</BGM>:The ninja looks utterly stunned. You can see the darkened streaks of tears on his black face mask.
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Ninja</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:That's wonderful! All my effort in the last few days hasn't gone to waste...
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale><同时置暗>||:Yeah, you also helped out big time tonight.
NPC-Ninja(0)<Speaker>Ninja</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:... +You knew?
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:It couldn't have been more obvious.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_footsteps_woodfloor</SE1>:Tap-tap-tap... +A series of footsteps come from the other end of the corridor.
()<Speaker>???</Speaker>||<SE1>Stop_AVG_loop</SE1>:Commander? Are you there?
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_Cloak_Whoosh</SE1><controll_shake>%%type_id=2%%duration=2%%delay=0.1%%range=8</controll_shake>:They've come looking for me. Perfect timing for them to thank— +Ninja?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:The ninja has vanished without a trace.
NPC-Sakura(0)<Speaker>Sakura Minamoto</Speaker><Position>0,-270</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:There you are, Commander.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Yeah... Just here for some fresh air. All that screaming has left me a bit light-headed.
NPC-MizunoAi(5)<Speaker>Ai Mizuno</Speaker><Position>60,-250</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:Everyone's waiting for you. Let's head back.
NPC-Yugiri(4)<Speaker>Yugiri</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||:They're all looking forward to the after party.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Alright, let's go!
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_footsteps_woodfloor</SE1>:You start making for Franchouchou's dressing room, but you notice Sakura isn't keeping up after taking several steps.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>Stop_AVG_loop</SE1>:She stands rooted to the spot by the window where you just had a conversation with the ninja, seemingly lost in her thoughts.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Sakura?
NPC-Sakura(2)<Speaker>Sakura Minamoto</Speaker><Position>0,-270</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:Oh, sorry, I spaced out.
NPC-Yugiri(4)<Speaker>Yugiri</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||:What were you thinking about?
NPC-Sakura(0)<Speaker>Sakura Minamoto</Speaker><Position>0,-270</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:I was just thinking... it has been such a miraculous evening... +First, the door magically opened by itself when Tae and I randomly got stuck in the storeroom...
NPC-MizunoAi(0)<Speaker>Ai Mizuno</Speaker><Position>60,-250</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:Yeah, a bottle of foundation also came flying in through the window when Junko and I were panicking in the dance studio. +It wasn't the right shade, but at least that got us out of our pickle...
NPC-Yugiri(4)<Speaker>Yugiri</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||:Same here. We've been searching for the outfits the whole evening to no avail, then they just appeared magically by the door. +It really spooked Lily.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You smile as you gaze into the night outside the window.
