| Guy | … |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, this is where you were. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about changing the script. |
| Guy | ... |
| Tsuzuru | (Guy looks super focused. I wonder what he’s thinking about. Is he watching a video or something?) |
| Guy | … |
| Tsuzuru | Umm, Guy? …Guuyyyy! |
| Guy | ... |
| Izumi | Hey there Tsuzuru, what’s up? |
| Tsuzuru | I’m trying to get Guy’s attention, but he’s preoccupied with something. Maybe his programming froze? |
| Izumi | O-Oh, umm... |
| Guy? | |
| Guy | ... |
| Izumi | He’s not moving at all… W-What’s happening? |
| Guy | …Hmm. |
| Tsuzuru | Oh! |
| Izumi | Ah! |
| Guy | …Hm? When did the two of you arrive? My apologies, I did not notice you come in. |
| Izumi | O-Oh thank god. He’s alive. You were hyper-fixated on that. |
| Tsuzuru | What were you watching? |
| Guy | A dance lecture video. |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, I get it. Is this for role study? |
| Guy | Yes. They throw around more complex jargon than I expected. |
| My highest priority is finding good command over the fundamentals of dance. | |
| Izumi | That’s right, you’re playing the role of a dance instructor. |
| Guy | Correct. If I am to be a teacher, I should at the very least be able to execute the basics without struggle. |
| It’s difficult to pin down. | |
| Izumi | (Now that he mentions it, I can understand the intense focus from before. But wow, Guy makes for a perfect teacher role, even if it’s tough to master.) |
| Guy | I’ve just had a realization. I cannot sit here and spend all my time watching videos. |
| Tsuzuru | From the looks of it, aren’t you forgetting the hand movements? |
| Guy | What do you mean? |
| Tsuzuru | When you’re trying to imitate a specific style, you have to start by looking at the big picture. Details are important too, but they come after you understand the most basic things. |
| This applies to gestures and even manners of speaking. Start with what you can replicate yourself, then hone in on the details… Something like that? | |
| Guy | I see. I will start with the bigger picture. |
| In the video I was watching, the instructor was clapping his hands to the beat. I suppose that means I should start with clapping... I think. | |
| Izumi | Yeah, you got it. I think that’s a wonderful place to start. |
| Guy | Hmm, something like this? |
| Tsuzuru | Ohh, nice! |
| Izumi | (Wow… Guy just radiates dignity.) |
| (Regardless of what he does, Guy always treats his work with respect… He’s seriously top of the line.) | |
 |
|
| Citron | (^^♪ |
| Izumi | ! |
| (I had a feeling it was Citron.) | |
| (Just from the sound of his light, flowing steps, you can tell it’s him walking around.) | |
| Citron | Yo Guy, you’re going to make your students fall on their heads with all of that awful gasping! |
| Tsuzuru | Not gasping, CLAPPING. Why are you barging in all of a sudden?! |
| Citron | I wanted to visit the lounge, and that’s when I heard this awful clapping. It’s terrible. |
| You’re going to be a second-rate teacher if this is what you’re bringing to the lesson. | |
| Tsuzuru | So you came here to fling insults. Great. Just. Great. |
| Izumi | Do you really think that? I thought he was off to a good start. |
| Citron | Nooo nooo, you’re being too nice! |
| You call THAT clapping? You need to move your hands more, make bigger movements, or else no one is gonna hear you! | |
| Guy | Hmm... Like this? |
| Citron | Yep, just like that! |
| (^^♪ | |
| Izumi | (Wow, Citron looks so happy to dance along with Guy’s clapping.) |
| Tsuzuru | Umm, do you really have to dance with him, Citron? |
| Izumi | It makes sense given Guy’s role as a dance instructor. |
| Guy | ... |
| Citron | (^^♪ (^^♪ (^^♪ |
| Izumi | (They’ve been at it for a while now. Guy clapping and Citron dancing...) |
| Tsuzuru | H-Hey, hey, hey—stop! |
| Guy | ...Hm. |
| Citron | Zeee zee… Hm, why are you telling us to stop? We are on fire! |
| Tsuzuru | I think you two need to catch your breaths! Guy’s hands are gonna fall off if you keep going! |
| Izumi | Y-Yeah... |
| Tsuzuru | Don’t your hands hurt, Guy? |
| Guy | …They do. |
| Tsuzuru | SEE! If Guy’s hands get injured he can’t do his job at his bar and his business will suffer! |
| Guy | ...That would be unfortunate. I do not wish to burden Mikage. |
| Tsuzuru | Please don’t make Hisoka run the bar alone! |
| Citron | If your hands were hurting you should have said something! |
| Tsuzuru | You could have asked just like I did! You’re the one who insisted on dancing and making Guy clap! |
 |
|
| Itaru | Good mo—huh? What’s going on here? |
| …Uhh, is this a stand up... trio? | |
| Izumi | Ahaha… Umm, we’re doing some role study. |
| Tsuzuru | For the love of god, back me up, Itaru! |
| Itaru | Looks like you guys are dealing with some real shit here. I did have something to do, but… nah, I’m outtie. |
