[ ........


There is not a sound. ]

[florescences]

[ uh oh ]

Eupha, did you get stage fright? Do you want me to tell you something to say?

[trifocal]

[



She nods. ]

[florescences]

Ahem. Repeat after me: I'm Eupha, and Ellie thinks I'm so, so cute!

[ no shame, no hesitation. ]

[trifocal]

[ Turns it on again. Takes a breath. ]

I'm Eupha, and Ellie thinks I'm--

[ Puts it down. ]

-- Wait, what?

[florescences]

Super cute! Sooo cute! Absolutely adorable!

[ she gestures for eupha to raise the megaphone again. ]

[trifocal]

Huh? I... I am flattered, but I can't say that!

[ but she does follow elsyia's gesture to look back at the megaphone. ]

[florescences]

Hm? Why not? It's true.

[ she mimics holding a megaphone, so they can be samesies. ]

Say it with me: I'm cute.

[trifocal]

[ girl she's gonna get docked marks for Humility ]

I can't!!

[ accidentally says it into the megaphone ]

[florescences]

[ yeah, elysia wants everyone to get worse grades in humility. it's better for you.

that makes elysia chuckle, but she's here to cheerlead. ]

You can, you can! It's better to be able to say it than not. Don't be afraid of the truth!

[trifocal]

[ holding up the megaphone ]

But Ellie, you're much cuter!!

[florescences]

[ at least she gets the warning of eupha holding up the megaphone, so elysia just laughs, delighted in her own way. ]

I know I'm cute, but we're different kinds of cute. You have a lot of room to bloom and be even cuter.

[trifocal]

I, well... th-thank you. That's very kind of you to say.

[ still very flustered. but she will give the megaphone back now. ]

What do you normally use this for...?

[florescences]

[ she takes it back with a smile. ]

For fun. Whenever I think people should hear something. Or sometimes.... to get a friend out of her lab and not stay cooped up all the time.

Things like that.

[trifocal]

Your friend is a researcher of some sort?

[florescences]

A scientist. She's known as a genius and has invented and created a great many things in my world.

[trifocal]

She sounds like an incredible person. How did you come to be friends with her?

[florescences]

We're from the same organization. I snuck into her lab once.

[trifocal]

Really? What kind of organization is it?

[florescences]

Its purpose is to fight against a threat to humanity called Honkai.

[trifocal]

[ ?? ]

A threat to humanity...?

[florescences]

Oh, Basilio told me Humans were a threat in his world.... Um....

[ how does she spin this in a universal way ]

Monsters appeared, and illnesses spread.... Everyone's way of life was threatened in some way.

[trifocal]

[ a relieved nod... yeah. humans bad. ]

What can your organization do to stop it?

[florescences]

There are soldiers to fight the monsters, scientists and doctors to find ways to treat the illness it causes... engineers and researchers work to develop new ways to contain it... Everyone is trying to come up with some kind of a plan to save people.

[trifocal]

That's... incredible, for so many to come together to work towards the same goal.

What is your role, Ellie?
