[00:11] Sak
    Right!
SIGN    Going Home Club
SIGN    Fire Prevention Supervisor: "It's #7"
[01:59] Sak
    Sorry I kept you waiting!
[02:02] Sak
    It's just you here, Natsuki-chan?
[02:05] Sak
    Where's everyone else?
[02:07] Nat
    Um, Karin is...
[02:08] (Flashback) Kar
    I-It's due today?!
[02:11] Nat
    She went to turn in a handout
    that she had forgotten was due.
[02:14] Sak
    I see.
[02:16] Sak
    So what about the other two?
[02:18] (Flashback) Cla
    We don't want anything to happen to you.
[02:20] (Flashback) Bot
    I'll escort you to the faculty room.
[02:22] Nat
    They were worried about her,
    so they tagged along.
[02:24] Sak
    They coddle her too much.
[02:26] Sak
    Well, until they get back, why don't
    we play Word Chain or something?
[02:31] Nat
    Playing Word Chain because we're bored almost
    seems too tame, compared to your usual ideas.
[02:35] Sak
    I thought you'd say that!
[02:37] Nat
    Huh?
[02:38] Sak
    But what we're about to play is
    no ordinary game of Word Chain!
[02:43] Sak
    We'll be using these Taboo Cards!
[02:46] Nat
    Taboo Cards?!
[02:48] Nar
    Taboo Card Rules!
[02:50] Nar
    Before the game starts, each player
    writes a word of their choice on a card,
[02:53] Nar
    then lays it facedown.
[02:56] Nar
    This word is considered taboo
    throughout the game and,
SIGN    N
[02:58] Nar
    like a word ending with
    "n," it ends the game.
[03:01] Nat
    I get it.
[03:02] Nat
    You have to avoid using the word
    on your opponent's Taboo Card,
[03:06] Nat
    while also luring the opponent into
    saying the word on your own card.
[03:10] Sak
    And one more thing...
[03:12] Sak
    All games need some kind of risk and return.
[03:15] Sak
    If you win, Natsuki-chan,
    I'll give you something good.
[03:19] Nat
    Something good?
SIGN    Ribbon
[03:21] Nat
    F-Fine.
[03:23] Nat
    Then, if I lose...
[03:26] Sak
    Of course, if you lose...
[03:29] Sak
    you have to eat spaghetti
    through your nose!
[03:31] Nat
    Her tastes in game penalties
    are so old-fashioned!
SIGN    Record 21
SIGN    Sealed Words!!
[03:42] Nat
    This Taboo Card holds the key to my victory.
[03:45] Nat
    But what word should I write?
[03:49] Nat
    I guess I should just pick one that
    I wouldn't accidentally say myself...
[03:54] Sak
    Okay, are you all ready?
[03:57] Sak
    Once you've written down your
    word, you can't change it.
[04:01] Sak
    It may even be possible
[04:02] Sak
    that the game is already
    decided the moment we both
[04:05] Sak
    choose our taboo words.
[04:07] Nat
    We won't know who wins until we play.
[04:09] Nat
    It's still Word Chain, after all.
[04:11] Nat
    We're both playing by the same terms.
[04:16] Sak
    Let's go over the rules!
SIGN    Wasabi Octopus
[04:17] Sak
    The basic rules are the same
    as standard Word Chain.
[04:20] Sak
    If you use a word ending in "n," you lose!
[04:23] Sak
    If you use the words written
    on either Taboo Card, you lose!
[04:27] Sak
    The time limit is one minute per turn.
[04:30] Sak
    If you exceed that, you lose!
[04:33] Girls
    Taboo Card, set!
[04:35] Girls
    Word Chain, in!
[04:36] Sak
    I'll go first,
[04:37] Sak
    with the "ri" of "Shiritori" (Word Chain)!
[04:39] ---
    Wha—
[04:39] Nat
    Y-You took the first turn by force!
[04:42] Sak
    Don't be so naïve, Natsuki-chan!
[04:43] Sak
    The game's already begun!
[04:45] Sak
    It's my turn!
[04:47] Sak
    Risuzaru (squirrel monkey)!
[04:48] Nat
    A Lead-off Switchup!
[04:50] Nar
    A Lead-off Switchup!
SIGN    Lead-off Switchup
[04:52] Nar
    As the saying goes:
    "Shiritori starts with 'pa.'"
[04:55] Nar
    Shiritori (Word Chain),
    ringo (apple), gorira (gorilla),
[04:59] Nar
    and rappa* (trumpet) is the standard
     opening pattern for a Word Chain.
[05:03] Nar
    To actively make a change
    to that pattern...
[05:06] Nar
    is called a "Pattern Switchup."
SIGN    Pattern Switchup
[05:09] Nar
    One plan of attack is to lead off
    with a word other than "apple."
[05:13] Nar
    This is known as a "Lead-off Switchup."
[05:16] Nar
    The goal is to confuse any opponent
    prepared to respond with "gorilla,"
[05:19] Nar
    upsetting their rhythm early on.
[05:23] Nat
    Of course.
[05:24] Nat
    We're playing with Taboo Card rules.
[05:26] Nat
    If I had predicted that she'd*
    lead off with the usual pattern
[05:29] Nat
    and selected "apple" as my taboo word,
[05:32] Nat
    that would've ended the game
    right then and there.
SIGN    Apple
[05:35] Nat
    Hence the Lead-off Switchup!
[05:37] Nat
    R-Ruretto (roulette).
[05:39] Sak
    Tonneru (tunnel).
[05:41] Nat
    Sakura responds in a flash!
[05:44] Nat
    Ruuzu sokkusu (loose socks).
[05:45] Sak
    Sutooru (stole).
[05:48] Nat
    Here, Natsuki begins to
    suspect something's up...
[05:51] (Flashback) Sak
    Sutooru (stole).
[05:53] Nar
    Now, her suspicion turns to certainty.
[05:55] Nat
    This is...
[05:57] Nat
    a "Ru" Offensive!
[05:58] Nar
    The "Ru" Offensive: a strategy that takes advantage
SIGN    "Ru" Offensive
[06:02] Nar
    of the fact that there are far fewer words
    beginning with "ru" than ending with "ru,"
SIGN    ru = Lots
SIGN    Ru = Few
[06:05] Nar
    and thus using only words ending in "ru."
[06:08] Nar
    There are other, similar strategies,
    such as the "Ri" Offensive.
[06:12] Nat
    That means Sakura-senpai's taboo
    word probably starts with "ru."
[06:17] Nat
    I blurted out "roulette" earlier
    without thinking about it,
[06:20] Nat
    but maybe I should stick with more
    obscure words when possible.
[06:24] Nat
    Ruibe (frozen sashimi).
[06:25] Sak
    Beeru (veil).
[06:26] Nat
    Ruchinwaaku (routine work).
[06:27] Sak
    Kurooru (crawl).
[06:29] Nat
    Ruigigo (synonym).
[06:30] Sak
    Gooru (goal).
[06:31] Nat
    Rukusenburuku (Luxembourg).
[06:32] Sak
    Kurea fairu (transparent file).
[06:33] Nat
    Ruaa (lure).
[06:34] Sak
    Aagairu (argyle).
[06:35] Nat
    Rui-kokuou (King Louis).
[06:37] Sak
    Uuru (wool).
[06:38] Nat
    Ruukii (rookie).
[06:39] Sak
    Kiihooru (keyhole).
[06:40] Nat
    Ruumania (Romania).
[06:42] Sak
    Arumihoiru (aluminum foil).
[06:43] Nat
    Ruwanda (Rwanda).
[06:44] Sak
    Daato toraiaru (dirt trial).
[06:45] Nat
    Ruuju (rouge).
[06:46] Sak
    Jubunairu (juvenile).
[06:47] Nat
    Ruupe (magnifying glass).
[06:48] Sak
    Pearentaru kontorooru.
    (parental controls).
[06:50] Nat
    Ruuzuberuto-daitouryou
    (President Roosevelt).
[06:51] Sak
    Uedingu beru (wedding bell).
SIGN    "Exile": A penalty in which a criminal is expelled to a distant land.
[06:53] Nat
    Rukei (exile).
SIGN    "Easel": A stand upon which you prop signs or drawing boards.
[06:54] Sak
    Iizeru (easel).
SIGN    "Exponent": Multiplying a number by itself.
[06:56] Nat
    Ruijou (exponent).
SIGN    "Sea-firefly": A species of ostracod crustacean.
[06:57] Sak
    Umihotaru (sea-firefly).
[06:59] Nat
    I'm running out of words!
[07:01] Nar
    The time limit of one minute per turn
[07:03] Nar
    clearly has Natsuki on the ropes.
[07:07] Nar
    Pressure can have a strikingly negative
    effect on a person's judgment.
[07:11] Nar
    Words that she should
    know fail to come to her!
[07:13] Nar
    At this rate, whether she says Sakura's
    taboo word or breaks the time limit...
[07:19] Nar
    it's only a matter of time.
[07:23] Nat
    I guess it's time...
[07:24] Nar
    But Natsuki had a plan!
SIGN    Counter
[07:27] Nar
    It was a "Counter"!
[07:29] Nar
    The "Ru" Offensive,
[07:30] Nar
    which attacks with a specific syllable,
    has one fatal weakness.
SIGN    ru
    Ru
    ru
    Ru
    ru
    Ru
    ru
[07:33] Nar
    This is called the Counter.
[07:36] Nar
    After exhausting the vocabulary
    of words that begin with "ru,"
SIGN    Ru__ru
[07:39] Nar
    returning with a word that
    both starts and ends with "ru"
[07:42] Nar
    turns your opponent's
    offensive back on them!
[07:49] Nar
    The word that Natsuki
    has kept up her sleeve!
[07:51] Nar
    That word is:
SIGN    Rule
[07:53] Nar
    Ruuru* (rule)!
[07:54] Nat
    Ru—
[07:56] Nar
    But the moment she opened her mouth,
[07:58] Nar
    a jolt of electricity hit Natsuki!
[08:01] Nar
    Call it intuition or instinct!
[08:03] Nar
    Halted by that momentary chill,
    Natsuki swallowed the word!
[08:09] Nat
    I get it.
[08:10] Nat
    The word that Sakura-senpai*
    wrote on her Taboo Card was...
[08:13] Nat
    Rule!
SIGN    Rule
[08:14] Nat
    She wasn't using her Taboo
    Card to defeat me directly.
[08:18] Nat
    She did it stop me from
    countering her "Ru" Offensive!
[08:21] Nar
    Her guess was correct.
[08:24] Sak
    So you've caught on?
[08:25] Sak
    But it's too late, Natsuki-chan.
[08:27] Sak
    The moment you accepted
    this game, you'd already...
[08:31] Sak
    fallen into my trap!
[08:38] Cla
    Isn't that a relief?
[08:39] Cla
    You got your handout turned in.
[08:42] Kar
    Yes!
[08:43] Kar
    Do you think Sakura-senpai
    has turned up yet?
[08:45] Bot
    I'm sure she's there by now.
[08:47] Kar
    So Nat-chan and Sakura-senpai
    are in there by themselves?
[08:54] Cla
    By themselves?
[08:56] Cla
    Why don't we go grab some
    tea before we head back?
[08:59] Kar
    Why do you want to give
    them more time alone?
[09:07] Nar
    The reason most Word
    Chain games take place
[09:11] Nar
    is to kill time.
SIGN    Tanuki (Racoon Dog)
[09:15] Nar
    I'm Botan!
[09:15] Nar
    In most cases, Word Chain
    is not played competitively.
SIGN    Kitsune (Fox) Tanuki (Racoon Dog)
[09:17] ---
    I'm Claire!
SIGN    Neko (Cat) Kitsune (Fox) Tanuki (Racoon Dog)
[09:19] ---
    I'm Karin!
[09:19] Nar
    Rather, the intent is simply to keep
    the game going as long as possible.
SIGN    Komodo Ootokage (Komodo Dragon) Neko (Cat) Kitsune (Fox) Tanuki (Racoon Dog)
[09:23] Sak
    I bet you've only ever played that dull
    form of Word Chain, right, Natsuki-chan?
[09:28] Sak
    Let me teach you...
[09:30] Sak
    the Word Chain where you
    crush your opponent!
SIGN    Record 22:
SIGN    The Fierce Battle's Conclusion!!
[09:38] Nat
    How...
[09:40] Nat
    How could this turn into
    such a war of attrition?
[09:43] Nat
    My Counter Word against
    Sakura-senpai's "Ru" Offensive,
SIGN    Rule
[09:47] Nat
    "Rule," has been taken from me.
[09:49] Nat
    I'm definitely going to lose now...
SIGN    Rouble
[09:52] Nat
    Runesansu (Renaissance).
[09:53] Sak
    Sumairu (smile).
[09:54] Nat
    Ru...
[09:56] Nat
    Think! Isn't there anything?!
[09:58] Nat
    Any word that can break this deadlock?!
SIGN    Rui Rua
SIGN    Rue Ruu
[10:01] Nat
    Rua, rui, ruu, rue...
[10:04] Nat
    Leaf through the dictionary of my mind!
[10:07] Sak
    Well, think long and hard.
[10:09] Sak
    As long as I respond instantly
    to anything you throw at me,
[10:13] Sak
    you only get sixty seconds to think.
[10:19] Sak
    You have to stay calm,
    at the very least.
[10:21] Sak
    The more pressured you feel when backed
    into a corner, the faster time seems to pass.
[10:35] Nat
    Ru... Ruuputai (bolo tie).
[10:37] Sak
    Inisharu (initial).
SIGN    Ru
[10:40] Nar
    The time limit approaches!
SIGN    Nicknames: Nose-paghetti, Peperoncino, Al Dente, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, Carbonara
[10:42] Nar
    The penalty hangs over her head!
[10:44] ---
    Olive Oil... Nose-paghetti...
    Peperoncino... Carbonara... Al Dente...
[10:47] Nar
    But the severity of the situation,
    contrary to Sakura's expectations...
[10:54] Nar
    has given Natsuki a flash of insight!
[10:56] Nat
    That's it!
[10:58] Nat
    I've got a word that begins and
    ends with "ru," other than "rule"!
[11:02] Nat
    To break out of the "Ru" Offensive...
SIGN    Means of Counter
[11:04] Nat
    A Counter Word!
[11:07] Nat
    Now it's my turn!
[11:09] Nat
    Ruuburu (ruble)!
[11:11] Sak
    Ruble?!
SIGN    Ruble
SIGN    Roar
[11:23] Nat
    I've won.
[11:24] Sak
    Just kidding!
[11:27] Sak
    Runowaaru (Renoir).
SIGN    Chronicles of the Going Home Club
[11:45] Sak
    Natsuki-chan. You fought hard.
[11:49] Sak
    I never expected you to find a Counter Word
    other than "rule" in a situation like that.
[11:54] Sak
    You're everything I'd expect
    of a junior in my club.
[11:57] Sak
    But I'd already prepared several
    countermeasures to the counter.
SIGN    Renaaru (Renard, author) Ruminooru (Luminol, reagent) Ruchiru (Rutile, mineral)
[12:04] Sak
    That should crush Natsuki-chan's spirit.
[12:08] Sak
    I've won!
[12:13] ---
    Wha—
[12:14] Nat
    Now it's my turn!
[12:16] Sak
    Why?!
[12:17] Sak
    How can you still stand?!
[12:18] Sak
    Why won't you just admit defeat?!
[12:20] Nat
    Because I am...
[12:22] Nat
    I am a Word Chainist!
[12:24] Sak
    What's that?! I've never
    heard that title before!
[12:27] Sak
    What do I do?
[12:28] Sak
    I didn't crush her spirit enough, and it
    seems to have revved her up even more!
[12:31] Nat
    Ruijiana-shuu (Louisiana State)!
[12:34] Sak
    "U"? "U," huh?
SIGN    U
[12:37] Sak
    "U"?
[12:39] Sak
    What?
[12:40] Sak
    I've already used "wool" and
    "wedding bell" and "sea-firefly"...
[12:44] Sak
    "U..." Strange, I can't think of anything.
[12:52] Sak
    Well, as you wish.
[12:53] Sak
    I'll play it safe.
[12:55] Sak
    After all, even if Natsuki-chan
    comes at me with "ru,"
[12:57] Sak
    I still have a full stock of Counter Words.
SIGN    Renaaru (Renard, author) Ruminooru (Luminol, reagent) Ruchiru (Rutile, mineral)
[13:02] Sak
    Umigame (sea turtle).
[13:03] Sak
    There! Now, come at me with meeru (mail)
    or meepuru (maple) or any word you like!
[13:07] Nat
    Meifurawaagou (The Mayflower).
[13:09] Sak
    Another "u"?
[13:11] Sak
    Ujikintoki (Green tea and red bean ice cream).
[13:13] Nat
    Kyouryuu (dinosaur).
[13:14] Sak
    Usagi (rabbit).
[13:14] Nat
    Gyuunyuu (milk).
SIGN    U
[13:17] Sak
    I get it.
[13:19] Sak
    I've exhausted all the words that
    start with "u" and end with "ru."
SIGN    U___ru
[13:23] Sak
    In other words,
[13:24] Sak
    as long as she keeps responding with "u,"
[13:26] Sak
    I can't relaunch my "Ru" Offensive.
[13:29] Sak
    But there are still tons of
    words that start with "u."
SIGN    U = About 1,000,000,007 results (0.11 seconds)
[13:33] Sak
    In this situation, Natsuki-chan needs
    to keep responding with "u" endings,
[13:37] Sak
    which means she's the
    one at a disadvantage.
[13:39] Sak
    Uruudoshi (leap year).
[13:40] Nat
    Shodou (calligraphy).
[13:42] Sak
    Wait a minute!
[13:43] Sak
    Come to think of it,
[13:45] Sak
    Natsuki-chan added "daitouryou" (president)
    when just "Roosevelt" would have done,
[13:49] Sak
    and added "shuu" (state) when just
    "Louisiana" would have sufficed...
[13:54] Sak
    Was she... trying to make me
    say words starting with "u"?!
[13:58] Sak
    Is it possible...
[13:59] Sak
    that Natsuki-chan's taboo word
    is a word that starts with a "u"?!
SIGN    U
[14:05] Sak
    When I consider that possibility,
[14:07] Sak
    maybe I should focus on more
    obscure words when possible...
[14:13] Sak
    Umibouzu (sea monster).
[14:15] Nat
    Sakura-senpai.
[14:17] Nat
    You just said "umibouzu," didn't you?
[14:19] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    Wha—
[14:22] Nat
    Taboo Card, open!
[14:24] Sak
    What?!
[14:25] Nat
    The taboo word I chose was:
SIGN    Umibouzu
[14:29] Nat
    "Umibouzu"!
[14:32] Sak
    Wh-Why'd you choose a word like that?!
[14:35] Nat
    It was a coincidence, actually.
[14:38] Nat
    I guess I should just pick one that
    I wouldn't accidentally say myself...
[14:42] Sak
    Th-That's the only reason?!
[14:44] Nar
    No doubt about it,
    it was sheer coincidence.
[14:47] Nar
    Born from the short yet rich
    time they've spent together,
[14:51] Nar
    an unconscious synchronization of
    their thought patterns took place!
[14:57] Nar
    It was almost an inevitability!
[14:59] Nar
    The two of them,
    both drawn to a single word!
[15:02] Sak
    Oh, no!
[15:03] Sak
    Are you saying that Natsuki-chan's
    thoughts and mine have fused?!
[15:07] Nat
    I execute a direct attack on
    my opponent with "umibouzu"!
[15:14] Nat
    Poseidon Hammer!
[15:23] Nat
    Well, Senpai...
[15:24] Nat
    Hand over what you promised me.
[15:27] Nat
    Your "something good."
[15:34] Kar
    We're back!
[15:41] Kar
    Nat-chan, where'd that come from?
[15:43] Kar
    I love it!
[15:44] Kar
    It's so cute!
[15:45] Kar
    This is Sakura-senpai's, right?
[15:47] Kar
    Did she give it to you? Did she, huh?
[15:49] Kar
    Well? What happened?
[15:51] Nat
    Nothing happened.
[15:54] Nar
    For the first time in her life,
[15:55] Nar
    Natsuki has tasted the
    humiliation of victory.
[16:05] Aza
    Seal Summoning!
SIGN    Rumble Rumble
[16:11] Sak
    Now then!
[16:13] Sak
    We're all here, right?
[16:15] Sak
    Okay!
[16:15] Sak
    Who knows what tomorrow is?
[16:18] Kar
    I do!
[16:18] Kar
    It's Nat-chan's birthday!
[16:20] Sak
    Excellent!
[16:21] Sak
    In view of that, today...
SIGN    Boom
[16:23] Sak
    we're going to have a meeting to plan
    Natsuki-chan's surprise birthday party!
SIGN    Record 23
SIGN    Surprise Party
[16:34] Nat
    Wait! I'm sitting right here!
[16:38] Sak
    Okay, everyone!
[16:39] Sak
    Throw out lots of great ideas for things
    that'll surprise and delight Natsuki-chan!
[16:44] Nat
    She's just going on with this!
    What am I supposed to do?
[16:48] Cla
    That's difficult.
[16:50] Cla
    Natsuki-san probably already expects
    that we'll all want to celebrate with her.
[16:57] Nat
    That's because the secret's already out.
[16:59] Kar
    Even if she acts calm, her thing
     will be wagging back and forth!
[17:04] Sak
    I hear you, I hear you!
[17:06] Cla
    So cute!
[17:07] Nat
    No, no, it does not wag!
[17:08] Nat
    Why are you treating it like a dog's tail?!
[17:11] Bot
    A silly little surprise party
    won't really surprise her.
[17:14] Nat
    Actually, it won't surprise me
    because I already know about it.
[17:18] Sak
    Well?
[17:19] Sak
    Does anyone have any good ideas?
[17:21] Kar
    I do!
[17:22] Kar
    I think we should make some handicrafts.
[17:25] Sak
    Handicrafts?
[17:26] Kar
    You know...
[17:27] Kar
    We could cut strips of colored paper,
[17:29] Kar
    make chains out of them,
    and make flowers.
SIGN    Cute
[17:34] Nat
    They've changed the point of the meeting...
[17:37] Bot
    Why don't we pop some crackers?
[17:39] Sak
    Yeah! They're good for parties!
[17:41] Cla
    But if we're throwing a party,
[17:43] Cla
    I think something more extravagant
    would surprise her more.
[17:46] Bot
    That's true.
[17:47] Bot
    Something more extravagant...
[17:50] Bot
    I know! Let's set off fireworks!
[17:53] Nat
    That's going way over the top!
[17:55] Sak
    I like it!
[17:56] Sak
    Let's go extravagant!
[17:58] Nat
    No, no, no, no...
[17:59] Cla
    For food, we can order room
    service from my family's hotel!
[18:03] Nat
    Huh?!
[18:04] Nat
    They'll even deliver to the club room?!
[18:05] Cla
    A feast simply has to have
    beefsteak, don't you think?
[18:08] Nat
    Beefsteak?
[18:09] Sak
    Oh, do they have dessert, too?
[18:11] Sak
    I love desserts with kiwi in them!
[18:12] Nat
    They're all just listing things they like...
[18:15] Kar
    I know!
[18:16] Kar
    You can't forget the cake, either!
[18:19] Sak
    Right, that's fundamental!
[18:21] Sak
    Natsuki-chan does love sweet things.
[18:23] Kar
    Let's get a strawberry cake! A big one!
[18:27] Bot
    Sounds good.
[18:28] Bot
    The cake and the staging will get her excited...
[18:30] Cla
    Then, we'll all cry out "happy birthday!"
[18:34] Sak
    Okay, okay!
[18:36] Sak
    This'll be the perfect surprise party!
SIGN    Handicrafts, fireworks, beefsteak, kiwi, strawberry cake
[18:38] Sak
    Yes, I think that'll do it.

[18:41] Sak
    By the way, Natsuki-chan, do you think
    you'd be surprised by all of this?
[18:45] Nat
    Of course not!
[18:46] Nat
    If you give away the whole thing,
    there's nothing left to surprise me!
[18:48] Aza
    And then, the next day...
[18:51] Kar
    I'm so excited for your surprise party, Nat-chan.
[18:55] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[18:56] Nat
    Karin. You know what the word
    "surprise" means, don't you?

[19:19] Nat
    It's bigger than the door!
[19:21] Nat
    H-How did you get it in here?
[19:23] Cla
    We brought the ingredients inside
    and made it in the room!
[19:26] Nat
    Is it a ship in a bottle?!
[19:29] Nat
    What? What's that sound?
[19:33] Bot
    Fireworks!
[19:34] Nat
    You really set off fireworks?!
[19:36] Nat
    But you went to all that trouble,
[19:39] Nat
    and we can't even see them in here...
[19:42] Bot
    Well, when you launch
    fireworks in the daytime,
[19:43] Bot
    all you can see is smoke
    anyway, so it's no big deal.
[19:45] Nat
    Then, why did you set
    them off during the day?!
[19:55] Nat
    Did you make these, Karin?
[19:57] Kar
    After the meeting yesterday,
    we all hung them up together.
[20:01] Sak
    Also, take a look outside!
[20:03] Sak
    This last surprise is amazing,
    so let your hopes soar!
[20:06] Bot
    Yeah.

    Getting someone's hopes up is part
    of the ABCs of a surprise party.
