    Noelle's always so confident,
    but lately she's been acting weird.
[00:09] Riz
    So I tried taking her somewhere
    for a change of pace.
[00:11] (Flashback) N
    What is this place?!
[00:13] (Flashback) Riz
    A virtual footbath.
[00:14] Riz
    I took her to my family's home!
[00:16] (Flashback) Riz
    When I come here, I can always ask myself...
[00:18] (Flashback) Riz
    Am I really doing my best with
    everything I've got in front of me?
[00:24] Riz
    After I told her about myself,
[00:26] Riz
    Noelle started telling
    me about herself, too.
[00:29] (Flashback) N
    I think about my family so much that
    I don't know how to face the music...
[00:35] Riz
    So I gave her a little encouragement.
[00:38] (Flashback) Riz
    Isn't it amazing to have a performance
    that only reaches one person, too?
[00:43] (Flashback) N
    This is who I am right now!
[00:45] (Flashback) N
    I hope my feelings reach you!
[00:48] Riz
    Okay! I'm gonna make a great
    song and do a collab, too!
[00:52] Riz
    Huh? Miracle did a collab with Niska?!

[02:40] Ellie
    Well, there's a pair I never saw coming.
[02:42] Halle
    A combination between a great artist,
    and one who's not-so-great!
[02:47] Sarah
    What a ridiculous thing to do.
[02:51] Sarah
    Niska left. It doesn't
    matter what she does now.
[02:53] Sarah
    Our goal doesn't change.
[02:56] Quan
    By goal, you mean entering the VGAs?
[03:00] Sarah
    It's not something that simple.
[03:03] Ellie
    Yes, our goal is...
[03:05] Jessie
    To be the top virtual artists!
[03:08] Hallie
    And that means winning the Lapin d'Or!
[03:14] Quan
    Yeah, maybe they can...
    Maybe BRT5 are capable of winning.
[03:19] Quan
    So why...
[03:21] Quan
    Why did Niska leave BRT5?
[03:24] Hallie
    Niska said she wanted to be both a
    virtual artist and a virtual designer.
[03:30] Hallie
    But Jessie insisted that
    she focus just on BRT5.
[03:34] Jessie
    Of course I did.
[03:35] Jessie
    This is an important time for BRT5.
[03:38] Jessie
    She can be a designer later.
[03:40] Sarah
    That's right. We're not the
    top artists in the world yet.
[03:44] Sarah
    We're just getting started, and she...
[03:46] Ellie
    I don't really think you can
    have BRT5 without Niska...
[03:50] Sarah
    BRT5 will reach the top,
    with or without Niska!
[03:53] Quan
    True, every artist longs
    to win the Lapin d'Or.
[03:59] Quan
    But do I want to go that far?
[04:01] Hallie
    What's wrong, Quan?
[04:03] Hallie
    You're freezing up again.
[04:06] Jessie
    You didn't join up just 'cause you
    weren't busy when we asked, right?
[04:09] Sarah
    I don't know what was going through
    your head when you joined.
[04:13] Sarah
    But we're not here to babysit you.
[04:16] Sarah
    If you can't keep up, we don't need you.
[04:20] Quan
    I decided I'd follow this path
    no matter how hard it got.
[04:23] Quan
    Until it connects to PathTLive!
[04:26] Quan
    I'm going to surpass all of you!
[04:30] Hallie
    Ooh, listen to you!
[04:32] Hallie
    I've got high hopes for you!
[04:34] Ellie
    Want to get some practice
    in right now, then?
[04:36] Ellie
    Sarah, where are you going?
[04:39] Sarah
    I'm not here to be friends with people.
[04:42] Sarah
    Just try not to slow me down.
[04:45] Sarah
    I don't care who else is in our unit
    as long as they can get us to the top.

    I'm going to avenge the humiliation

[05:53] Zoe
    I see.
[05:55] Miracle
    It all looks like so much fun!
[05:58] Miracle
    I hope Noelle and the others get here soon.
[06:00] Jua
    Hey, Miracle!
[06:02] Jua
    Yo!
[06:02] Jua
    I want to try that! Let's go together!
[06:06] Thea
    Jua always gets so excited for everything.
[06:11] Hallie
    That does look fun! Let's go!
[06:18] Jua

    made it through the qualifiers!
[06:27] Miracle
    Good to see you!
[06:29] XR Students
    Welcome, everyone, to the Vany Game!
[06:33] XR Students
    Have fun, okay?
[06:35] XR Students
    If you can, that is!
[06:37] XR Students
    We've got exactly 10
    players, so we'll start!
[06:46] Miracle
    Wow!
[06:47] Jua
    Let's get started!
[06:48] Hallie
    Let's! Let's!
[06:50] XR Student
    Today's game is "Banana Tag - ADEN Version!"
[06:54] Miracle
    Banana Tag?
[06:56] XR Student
    That's right.
[06:56] XR Student
    Freeze tag is more well-known,
[06:59] XR Student
    but the rules are the same.
[07:02] XR Student
    The person who's "it" counts to ten.
[07:05] XR Student
    Then they'll run chasing people,
    and if they touch you,
[07:07] XR Student
    you turn into a banana instead of freezing.
[07:10] XR Student
    This is a virtual space, so you really
    do get turned into a banana.
[07:15] XR Student
    The others can peel a banana while
    running away from the one who's "it."
[07:20] XR Student
    If you peel someone, they can turn back
    into a person and rejoin the game.
[07:25] XR Student
    But you can only turn back once!
[07:27] XR Student
    You've got quite an experience
    waiting in store for you,
[07:30] XR Student
    but try your best to survive until the end!
[07:32] XR Student
    The last player standing
    gets a pack of ADEN snacks!

[07:41] XR Student
    It's not all you can eat...
[07:45] Sarah
    Zoe.
[07:47] Sarah
    I'm going to win this, no matter what.
[07:49] Sarah
    I'm going to beat you,
    and all the other players, too.
[07:52] Jua
    Hey, don't you let her intimidate you, Zoe!
[07:54] Jua
    Fight hard!
[07:55] Jua
    The rest of you, too! Fight hard!
[07:57] Halle
    The snacks are mine!
[07:58] All
    Yeah!
[08:00] XR Student
    Okay, the one who's "it" is about to appear.
[08:02] XR Student
    The game runs for 30 minutes!
[08:03] XR Student
    See you again when it's over.
[08:06] XR Student
    If you survive, that is!
[08:10] Jua
    Oh, "it" is a Vanity.
[08:13] Jua
    This'll be easy!
[08:14] Vanity
    10...
[08:15] Vanity

[08:22] Vanity

[08:23] Vanity

[08:24] Vanity

[08:25] Halle
    Now he looks really scary!
[08:27] Miracle
    I'm super-spooked!
[08:30] Jua
    He's so intimidating...
[08:32] XR Student
    Let the game begin!
[08:37] Miracle
    It's coming after me first!
[08:47] Miracle
    You won't catch me that easily!
[08:54] Miracle
    When I was a kid, I learned how to use
[08:56] Miracle
    every piece of playground
    equipment they had!
[08:57] Miracle
    They called me the Playground Master!
[08:59] Miracle
    Underestimate me, and you'll get hurt!
[09:01] Halle
    Miracle's acting different than usual!
[09:03] Halle
    That's neat, though!
[09:04] Jua
    Miracle's doing great!
[09:06] Jua
    Now it's coming after us!
[09:08] Jua
    Okay!
[09:09] Jua
    Get on the spinning jungle gym!
[09:12] Jua
    Hang on tight you guys!
[09:18] Participant
    No fair!
[09:20] Participant
    I'm a banana now!
[09:21] Jua
    Sorry! Sorry!
[09:22] Jua
    I'll come help you later!
[09:24] Thea
    I don't feel so good.
[09:26] Jua
    That's from playing video games
     all day instead of exercising.
[09:28] Jua
    It wasn't even spinning that fast.
[09:31] Thea
    I just suck with anything that's analog...
[09:35] Jua
    Nah, this is easy!
[09:40] Halle
    That Vanity's pretty fast for how big it is.
[09:44] Sarah
    It's going to be a battle of endurance.
[09:45] XR Students
    You're all hanging in there, huh?
[09:48] XR Students
    But it's no fun if you just
    hide for the whole game, right?
[09:51] XR Students
    So we're adding in a mission!
[09:54] XR Students
    If you can't pop that balloon in five minutes,
    you'll have three more Vanitys to deal with!
[09:58] XR Students
    Better come out of those hiding spots, huh?
[10:01] Miracle
    I don't think we could handle three more!
[10:04] Miracle
    Nobody's moving.
[10:05] Miracle
    Jua, what do we do?
[10:07] Jua
    We've gotta try, right?
[10:08] Jua
    Miracle, I'll distract it!
    You pop the balloon!
[10:12] Miracle
    Sounds like a plan!
[10:12] Thea
    Wait! Are you gonna run out there without a plan?
[10:15] Sarah
    That's so reckless.
[10:23] Jua
    Miracle!
[10:36] Jua
    Those two have a personality that
    lets them do whatever they want!
[10:39] Thea
    They just blindly rushed out there.
[10:43] Miracle/Jua
    We did it!
[10:48] Jua
    Zoe, thank you!
[10:50] Sarah
    Zoe...
[10:54] XR Students
    You guys are hanging in there
    better than I thought.
[10:56] XR Students
    So we're gonna put some obstacles in!
[10:59] XR Students
    These mini Support Vanitys want to play too,
    so let them join in the game!
[11:04] XR Students
    Anybody who's mean enough to step on them
    will turn into a banana, so be careful!
[11:09] Miracle
    I feel like I'm going to step
    on one even if I don't want to!
[11:11] Halle
    I can barely move like this!
[11:13] XR Students
    Ten minutes left!
[11:15] XR Students
    How many will survive?
[11:26] Sarah
    This is how it was back then.
[11:29] Sarah
    Zoe never cared about anybody else,
[11:32] Sarah
    but she was always the center of attention.
[11:34] Sarah
    People always gathered around her.
[11:39] Sarah
    Why?
[11:46] Zoe
    What are you doing?
[11:50] Zoe
    Don't you want to play?
[11:55] Zoe
    What's wrong?
[11:57] Sarah
    Nothing.
[11:59] Zoe
    I see.
[12:03] Sarah
    I don't want to let Zoe beat me.
[12:07] Thea
    Three minutes left!
[12:09] Miracle
    I-I'm out of energy...
[12:13] Zoe
    Where's Sarah?
[12:14] Jua
    I haven't seen her for a while,
    now that you mention it.
[12:17] Halle
    Did she get caught, you think?
[12:19] Miracle
    Let's look for her!
[12:25] Sarah
    Until I got to elementary school,
    nobody could beat me at anything.
[12:30] Sarah
    But when I moved and met Zoe...
[12:34] Sarah
    She made me realize how weak I was.
[12:37] Sarah
    Why couldn't I win?
[12:39] Sarah
    What was the difference?
[12:40] Sarah
    Skill? Talent?
[12:43] Sarah
    How could I beat her?
[12:45] Sarah
    All I ever thought about was beating her.
[12:49] Sarah
    I thought beating her was all that mattered.
[12:53] Sarah
    But...
[12:55] Halle
    There she is!
[12:58] Sarah
    The game's almost over.
    You don't need to help me.
[13:01] Halle
    Don't worry!
[13:02] Halle
    We'll help you!
[13:04] Miracle
    One minute left!
[13:06] Jua
    Miracle, let's just run as fast as we can!
[13:08] Thea
    Jua, it won't work a second time.
[13:10] Jua
    With all of us here, it'll work out somehow!
[13:12] Halle
    Zoe!
[13:15] Jua
    Now!
[13:20] Zoe
    What are you even doing?
[13:28] (Flashback) Zoe
    I can't beat you at Hide and Seek, can I?
[13:43] XR Students
    Time's up!
[13:45] Zoe
    You're still better at Hide and Seek, huh?
[13:49] Sarah
    Shut up!
[13:51] Thea
    Do you know each other?
[13:54] Zoe
    We've been apart for a while.
    But we're friends.
[13:59] Sarah
    Why did you help me?
[14:01] Zoe
    Because it's boring without you.
[14:04] Zoe
    They're the same.
[14:06] Sarah
    What are you doing here?
[14:08] Halle
    Of course we're going to help you!
[14:09] Miracle
    We're rivals after the same thing,
    but we're also comrades, right?
[14:14] Jua
    Anything we do is fun
    as long as we do it together, right?
[14:18] Sarah
    What?
[14:20] Sarah
    I feel kind of weird...
[14:24] Miracle
    Even if we're apart, it's okay... right?
[14:31] XR Students
    Good game, everyone!
[14:34] XR Students
    I sent your prize of ADEN snacks in
    the form of a coupon to your VANITIM!
[14:38] All
    Hooray!
[14:40] XR Students
    Oh, I know!
[14:40] XR Students
    You guys all made it through
    the ADEN Seed, right?
[14:43] XR Students
    Why don't you do a concert
    to celebrate your win?
[14:46] Jua
    We can do a collab competition!
[14:48] Halle
    A collab, huh?
[14:49] Miracle
    That sounds great!
[14:52] Sarah
    Zoe, would you like to do a collab with me?
[14:54] Jua
    Zoe, do a collab with me!
[14:57] Miracle
    What about me?
[14:59] Sarah
    Why are you talking to Zoe?
[15:01] Jua
    Because I had fun playing the game with her!
[15:05] Jua
    What about you?
[15:06] Jua
    You were talking about how you
    didn't want to let her beat you.
[15:08] Jua
    I thought you didn't like her.
[15:11] Halle
    Sarah's the type to say she doesn't
    like someone, even when she does.
[15:15] Halle
    When she said she didn't
    want to let Zoe beat her,
[15:18] Halle
    what she actually meant was that she likes
    her and wants to play the game together!
[15:21] Halle
    Isn't that cute?
[15:23] Sarah
    Don't be ridiculous!
[15:24] Sarah
    That's not what I said!
[15:26] Sarah
    I don't care who I'm paired with!
[15:28] Sarah
    Fine, I'll just pair off with this girl!
[15:31] Miracle
    Aw, I didn't know you wanted
    to do a collab with me!
[15:34] Sarah
    I grabbed the wrong girl, obviously!
[15:36] Sarah
    Why would I want to work with
    the most useless girl here?
[15:39] Miracle
    Useless?
[15:41] Jua
    Then it's settled!
[15:42] Jua
    It's okay, right Zoe?
[15:44] Zoe
    Sure, I guess.
[15:46] Sarah
    W-Wait!
[15:48] Thea
    I'm not going to do this.
[15:50] Jua
    Then the two of us can just watch it, Thea!
[15:53] Jua
    Okay?
[15:53] XR Students
    Have fun!
[19:07] XR Students
    The winner of our collab competition is...
[19:10] XR Students
    the team of Zoe and Jua!
[19:14] Sarah
    My body felt... light somehow.
[19:17] Sarah
    Maybe I'd forgotten what it meant to just
    give something my all and have fun.
[19:21] Sarah
    All I ever thought about was beating Zoe...
[19:23] Sarah
    I wasn't thinking about anything else.
[19:26] Sarah
    This place, this virtual space,
    is connected by many lines.
[19:32] Sarah
    And all those lines form a path that
    connects to where I want to go.
[19:37] Zoe
    I think you're monologuing
    to yourself right now...
[19:40] Zoe
    But you're a banana.
[19:44] Zoe
    I made sure to save the photo.
[19:47] Jua
    Glad it worked out for you,
    Sarah! You look great!
[19:50] Miracle
    She looks better than me!
[19:51] Halle
    She's so cute! I'll take a photo, too!
[19:54] Sarah
    Zoe, delete that right now!
[19:57] Zoe
    No.
[19:57] Jua
    Why? You look cute!
[19:58] Halle
    I'm making it my wallpaper!
[20:00] Sarah
    Don't you dare! Delete that immediately!
[20:02] Jua
    You make a great banana!
[20:03] Sarah
    Give me that!
