[00:05] Chris
    I'm glad I met Niska.
[00:07] (Flashback) Niska
    Did this person ask you to do that?
[00:12] Chris
    Thanks to her, I was able
    to find my own seil.
[00:17] Chris
    My desire to help Miracle...
[00:20] Chris
    That's the seil I've been looking for.
[00:24] Chris
    Everyone else is looking for their own seil.
[00:28] Chris
    Miracle, Quan, Riz, Noelle...
[00:32] Chris
    All of them.

[02:23] Noelle
    I was sure I was okay...
[02:26] Noelle
    But I haven't changed at all.
[02:33] Noelle
    Riz?
[02:38] Riz
    Hey.
[02:39] Noelle
    This might be the first time
    you've called me to talk.
[02:42] Noelle
    What's up?
[02:44] Riz
    I'm working on a song,
    and I wanted your take.
[02:47] Noelle
    For school?
[02:49] Riz
    I figured I could use it once
    I had somebody to collab with.
[02:52] Noelle
    You're working hard, huh?
[02:53] Riz
    So are you, right?
[02:56] Noelle
    Not as much as you.
[02:58] Riz
    You sure?
[02:59] Noelle
    I'm surprised. I figured you'd
    do this stuff on your own.
[03:04] Riz
    Maybe I changed a little too after meeting
    Miracle and the rest of you guys.
[03:08] Noelle
    I see.
[03:11] Riz
    Here goes.
[03:18] Riz
    Well?
[03:19] Noelle
    Well, the melody is certainly
    memorable. What else?
[03:23] Noelle
    Hm, how about a key change
    before the chorus?
[03:27] Noelle
    For you, it'd probably be easy.
[03:30] Noelle
    Did I say something weird?
[03:32] Riz
    No, I was just thinking
    I was right to ask you.
[03:36] Noelle
    I see.
[03:37] Noelle
    I'm glad I was able to help.
[03:43] Noelle
    What?
[03:44] Riz
    Nothing.
[03:45] Riz
    It's really easy to tell what's
    going through your head.
[03:47] Noelle
    It is?
[03:49] Riz
    Right now, you're feeling kind of run down.
[03:52] Riz
    You've been like that a lot lately.
[03:56] Riz
    Remember when we all saw that BRT5 concert?
[03:59] Riz
    I've been worried about you ever since then.
[04:02] Noelle
    You've got a sharp eye, huh?
[04:04] Riz
    I wasn't sure if I should bring it up,
    but I decided I had to say something.
[04:08] Noelle
    I see.
[04:12] Noelle
    Quan...
[04:14] Riz
    Quan?
[04:17] Noelle
    When I saw Quan's concert,
    I realized that I had to change.
[04:23] Noelle
    Quan's eyes were shining.
[04:24] Noelle
    Her gaze was locked straight onto
    her future as a virtual artist.
[04:29] Noelle
    Right now... I can't be like that.
[04:34] Noelle
    I'm feeling really stressed out.
[04:37] Riz
    I guess even you feel stressed, huh?
[04:39] Noelle
    Of course I do!
[04:42] Riz
    You know, you're usually act way
    more mature than a teenager.
[04:45] Noelle
    Huh?! I'm 16, you know.
[04:48] Noelle
    No different than the rest of you.
[04:52] Riz
    Of course.
[04:53] Noelle
    I only got fourth place.
[04:56] Riz
    Fourth place is really good.
[04:57] Riz
    Is it that big a deal?
[04:59] Noelle
    To me, it is.
[05:01] Riz
    Why is the ranking such a big deal to you?
[05:04] Noelle
    Because...
[05:06] Noelle
    Um...
[05:08] Riz
    Sheesh.
[05:11] Riz
    Noelle, you busy after this?
[05:14] Riz
    No, if you are, cancel it.
[05:17] Riz
    There's somewhere I want to take you.
[05:20] Riz
    You could use a change of pace, right?
[05:21] Riz
    Come on, stand up.
[05:23] Riz
    Noelle, bring out Vanity. Hurry.
[05:26] Riz
    Let's go.
[05:27] Noelle
    Huh? O-Okay.
[05:37] Noelle
    What is this place?!
[05:39] Riz
    A virtual footbath. Feels great, huh?
[05:42] Riz
    It uses noise and head conduction to make
    your brain think you're soaking in a bath.
[05:47] Riz
    And the visual effect is
    important too, right?
[05:49] Noelle
    I see. But why?
[05:52] Riz
    'Cause your face always
    looks like that recently!
[05:56] Noelle
    It does not!
[05:58] Riz
    Well, it sure did!
[06:00] Riz
    And I figured if you came here,
    it might help melt away some of that stress.
[06:10] Noelle
    This place is nice.
[06:13] Riz
    I'm happy to hear you say that.
[06:16] Riz
    It was apparently really hard to get
    the details of the re-creation right.
[06:20] Noelle
    Re-creation?
[06:22] Riz
    This space is made to look exactly
    like the Japanese inn my parents run.
[06:29] Noelle
    Your parents?!
[06:31] Riz
    Took you long enough.
[06:32] Riz
    Our inn's been around for
    190 years. It's really old.
[06:36] Riz
    Isn't that amazing?
[06:38] Noelle
    190 years?
[06:40] Noelle
    That is amazing!
[06:41] Riz
    Thanks.
[06:43] Riz
    Some people say we're behind
    the times and need to change.
[06:48] Riz
    But whenever that happens,
    someone from our family
[06:51] Riz
    has always worked to protect it,
    generation after generation.
[06:55] Riz
    Repairing each and every pillar.
[06:57] Riz
    Taking the best care we can
    of every single customer.
[07:00] Riz
    All those years of effort
    connect us to the past.
[07:08] Riz
    When I come here, I can always ask myself...
[07:10] Riz
    Am I really doing my best with
    everything I've got in front of me?
[07:16] Riz
    So whenever I'm feeling down,
     I come here to get my spirits back up.
[07:20] Riz
    "Whenever you see somebody working hard,
    you start to feel like you can work hard, too!"
[07:24] Riz
    That's what my grandma always said.
[07:27] Riz
    You kind of remind me of myself, Noelle.
[07:33] Riz
    So I wondered if maybe we
    grew up in similar environments.
[07:37] Riz
    It felt like you grew up surrounded by people
[07:40] Riz
    who were always working
    as hard as they could.
[07:42] Riz
    And so you felt like you always needed
    to be working harder yourself.
[07:47] Riz
    Always looking up at someone
    you thought was better than you.
[07:50] Riz
    That's because you know how hard
    it is to win their respect, right?
[07:55] Riz
    Noelle, the anxiety you're
    feeling is important.
[08:03] Riz
    But for now, let's relax.
[08:16] Niska
    I'm sorry for being so selfish back there.
[08:20] Niska
    It wasn't like me.
[08:21] Miracle
    It did surprise me a little.
[08:24] Miracle
    But was it true? That you want me to um...
[08:27] Niska
    I didn't mean to say it like that, though.
[08:32] Niska
    I've been thinking of you a lot lately.
[08:35] Niska
    And each time I learn more about you,
[08:37] Niska
    I feel like I don't want to
    let anybody else have you.
[08:39] Niska
    Watch out!
[08:46] Niska
    You need somebody to look out for you.
[08:49] Niska
    Maybe that's why.
[08:51] Miracle
    I-It's your fault, Niska!
    For saying weird stuff!
[08:55] Niska
    I didn't say anything weird.
[08:57] Niska
    I meant just what I said.
[08:58] Miracle
    Well, you said it in a weird way!
[09:00] Niska
    Did I?
[09:02] Miracle
    And anyway... why me?
[09:05] Niska
    I'm not sure.
[09:07] Niska
    You're unpredictable.
    You have something I don't.
[09:12] Niska
    And I find that attractive.
[09:14] Niska
    I can't say exactly what
    that is yet, though.
[09:16] Niska
    But it’s something I'll never have...
[09:24] Miracle
    It's the same as I saw before...
[09:27] Miracle
    I feel a kind of loneliness from Niska.
[09:33] Miracle
    Did I say that aloud?
[09:36] Niska
    Yeah.
[09:36] Niska
    Um, well...
[09:38] Niska
    When I saw the avatar you
    designed, it was really cool,
[09:42] Niska
    but it looked kind of sad, somehow...
[09:44] Niska
    But I found the way it was standing
    there all alone so compelling...
[09:48] Niska
    And so I remembered that, and I guess
    I said what I was thinking aloud!
[09:53] Niska
    You really are amazing, Miracle.
[09:55] Niska
    Maybe that's why.
[10:02] Niska
    Miracle, I don't want to
    take back what I said.
[10:06] Niska
    Am I not good enough?
[10:11] Riz
    What a great bath.
[10:13] Riz
    Please come back sometime.
[10:15] Noelle
    Yeah.
[10:17] Noelle
    You're not going to ask anything?
[10:19] Riz
    I've heard the best thing to
    do at times like this is wait.
[10:23] Noelle
    Is that something your
    grandma told you, too?
[10:25] Riz
    Maybe so.
[10:29] Noelle
    Will you listen to my story?
[10:35] Noelle
    My family are all virtual artists.
[10:38] Noelle
    My sister, my father, my mother:
    they're all really talented.
[10:41] Noelle
    Much more so than me.
[10:45] Noelle
    Just like you said, I think
    I need to work harder...
[10:49] Noelle
    But thinking about my family just makes
    me feel like I'm not good enough.
[10:54] Riz
    Yeah, you can't help but compare
    yourself to your family.
[10:58] Noelle
    I've always felt like I had to be perfect.
[11:02] Noelle
    When Miracle said I didn't,
    I felt so much better.
[11:08] Noelle
    I thought I was finally over it.
[11:12] Noelle
    But when the reality that
    I only placed fourth sunk in...
[11:16] Noelle
    I realized I was wrong.
[11:18] Noelle
    The thought that my family might
    see my failure... made me scared.
[11:24] Noelle
    I haven't been able to change at all.
[11:28] Noelle
    I feel so pathetic... and I hate it!
[11:33] Noelle
    I think about my family so much that
    I don't know how to face the music...
[11:38] Noelle
    I can't do it like I did before.
[11:43] Noelle
    Like Quan can.
[11:55] Riz
    My grandma told me that when
    you really can't do something,
[11:58] Riz
    you don't even know what it is you can't do.
[12:01] Riz
    If you know the reason you’re suffering,
    that means you've grown up, right?
[12:07] Riz
    So what you’re having problems
     with right now isn’t your ranking.
[12:14] Riz
    It's your family, right?
[12:17] Riz
    You have to overcome that, or you'll
    be stuck where you are forever.
[12:22] Noelle
    But what do I do?
[12:25] Riz
    Hm...
[12:29] Riz
    Why not make a performance that you
    want to reach just your family?
[12:35] Noelle
    Just my family?
[12:37] Riz
    Yes. A performance that touches
    everyone is a wonderful thing!
[12:41] Riz
    But isn't it amazing to have a performance
    that only reaches one person, too?
[12:46] Noelle
    I've never even thought about it.
[12:49] Riz
    Songs have that kind of power.
[12:52] Riz
    You of all people should know that, Noelle.
[13:06] Noelle
    The people I want to reach...
[13:11] Noelle
    I want them to see who I am now,
    so that I can like myself.
[13:20] Noelle
    It's done!
[13:28] Noelle
    Yeah, sounds good.
[13:30] Riz
    It conveys your feelings really well!
[13:33] Noelle
    Really?
[13:34] Noelle
    The only thought in my head
    when I wrote this song
[13:37] Noelle
    was that I wanted these
    feelings to reach my family.
[13:39] Noelle
    And then the words just came naturally.
[13:42] Noelle
    I was able to express my true feelings.
[13:45] Noelle
    I feel like this song saved me...
[13:48] Noelle
    That's never happened before.
[13:50] Noelle
    Maybe it's not a song for
    everybody, but I like it.
[13:54] Riz
    When's the performance?
[13:55] Noelle
    In two days.
[13:57] Noelle
    I sent tickets to the stream to my family.
[14:00] Noelle
    I don't know if they'll listen, but...
[14:02] Riz
    If you sing, I'm sure it'll be fine.
[14:05] Riz
    Come on, have some confidence!
[14:08] Noelle
    Yeah. Thanks.
[14:22] Noelle
    Everyone, thank you for
    coming to my performance.
[14:28] Noelle
    This song I'm about to
    sing is a special one!
[14:34] Noelle
    Actually, I've been unsure of how to
    face my music as a virtual artist.
[14:42] Noelle
    I was so obsessed with my
    Linker count and ranking at school
[14:46] Noelle
    that I lost sight of myself.
[14:49] Noelle
    And then my friend encouraged me,
     and I realized something.
[14:53] Noelle
    I was wrong to try and seek
    validation through numbers.
[14:58] Noelle
    I'd been looking away from what
    I truly needed to overcome.
[15:04] Noelle
    This song is for my family.
[15:08] Noelle
    I offer this song to the people I care about,
    who I need to overcome.
[15:14] Noelle
    This is who I am right now!
[15:17] Noelle
    I'm still inexperienced,
    so maybe it's not perfect.
[15:19] Noelle
    But I like who I am now a whole lot,
     and I like this song, too.
[15:25] Noelle
    I hope my feelings reach you!
[17:03] Ada
    Wonderful.
[17:05] Ada
    I knew it.
[17:07] Ada
    Only when each individual
    shines their brightest
[17:09] Ada
    can they help each become even better.
[17:11] Ada
    What makes each of them unique
    is going to become even better.
[17:23] Noelle
    My sister...
[17:27] Noelle
    Yes, this is Noelle.
[17:29] Sister
    Noelle? It's me.
[17:31] Sister
    Thanks for the invitation to your concert.
[17:34] Sister
    I saw it.
[17:35] Noelle
    So you saw it... Thanks!
[17:38] Sister
    Come home, right now!
[17:42] Sister
    Mom and Dad want to see you right away.
[17:45] Sister
    We're waiting.
[17:52] Noelle
    It'll be okay.
[17:57] Noelle
    It'll be okay.
[18:04] Noelle
    I'm home.
[18:05] Mom
    Noelle! It's been so long.
[18:08] Noelle
    Yes, Mother. It has.
[18:10] Noelle
    I see everyone is doing well.
[18:13] Mom
    How's school?
[18:15] Dad
    Come on, we can talk about that later.
[18:17] Mom
    That's right!
[18:19] Mom
    It's been so long I forgot myself.
[18:21] Mom
    Come over here.
[18:27] Noelle
    U-Um, I...
[18:30] Sister
    Noelle, your concert was great!
[18:33] Sister
    It was wonderful, really!
[18:36] Sister
    The lyrics in it really resonated with me.
[18:40] Sister
    You've found your own song, haven't you?
[18:42] Noelle
    Well...
[18:45] Mom
    You're really working hard, huh Noelle?
[18:47] Mom
    I could tell from your performance.
[18:51] Mom
    I'm so proud!
[18:53] Noelle
    I was so scared.
[18:55] Noelle
    I couldn't get the results I wanted.
[18:58] Noelle
    I hated myself so much
     for not being perfect.
[19:04] Dad
    You seemed just fine to me.
[19:06] Dad
    You've always faced yourself.
[19:09] Dad
    You overcome your problems
    without running away.
[19:12] Dad
    You're an amazing artist.
[19:14] Noelle
    Yeah...
[19:17] Noelle
    Yeah.
[19:21] Students
    Noelle's concert was amazing!
[19:24] Quan
    Noelle's an even better artist than before.
[19:28] Quan
    I need to practice more.
[19:31] Students
    No way!
[19:32] Students
    I can't believe it!
[21:09] Students
    Those two were an incredible pair, right?
[21:12] Students
    I can't believe how well that worked!
