Practice Conversation 1[edit]

Masumi	I listen to music a lot when I take the train.
	I guess I like listening to songs while thinking of you and watching the scenery drift by outside the window.
	Our play on the train seems like it’ll be pretty different than usual…
	But I’ll study up on sleeper trains and practice hard.
	I want you to think I’m cool and that I look good as a crew member.
	Let’s sit beside each other and chat, and also gaze at the scenery together during my breaks and on the train ride home.
	I’m looking forward to this train ride with you.

Practice Conversation 2[edit]

Masumi	Taichi was talking about how there are various attraction points and heart-skipping situations that also happen in stations and trains.
	Of course, meeting up at the station beforehand and riding the train together is a typical situation…
	But when it gets crowded inside the train, you can protect the girl with a kabedon^[1] pose, and her heart will flutter.
	He also said it’d be nice for the girl to sit in the seat while you stand in front of her and talk face-to-face.
	He totally gets it, so getting that kind of information from that guy is useful, sometimes.
	Hey, Director, let’s go for a train ride together.
	You can get on the train after me…
	I’ll take the train from the station before you and wait for you.

Masumi	…So you came too. It must be fate that we came to the same place without planning to…
	Yeah, I’m on my break.
	…Before we got on this sleeper train, I picked out some songs that I wanted to listen to with you on the train.
	I’d like to listen to them together, sharing my earphones.
	…I’m so happy.
	Alright then, here. Your earphone.
	Sitting beside you while listening to music on the deck of this train running through the night… feels so comfortable.
	Also, you’re so close… my heart’s racing.
	Sigh, you’re so cute…
	I’m glad to hear you liked the song too.
	I have some more songs that I want to listen to on the train during the day.
	So let’s listen to them again together.

Kumon	Speaking of trains, that train game is famous, right!
	It’s called the “All Times and Places Game”^[2]. It’s a game where someone chooses a topic, and everyone answers in turn according to that theme.
Masumi	A topic?
Kumon	Yeah! Like sports names or food names, for example.
Masumi	Hmm.
	If the topic is things I like about Director, then I could go on and on forever.
Kumon	I feel that! If the topic’s nii-chan’s cool points, then I could just keep talking!
	I wanna try playing it with everyone at the Company! Masumi-san’s memory is so good you can memorize your lines right away, so I think you’ll be good at this game.
	I wonder what kinda topic would be best if we’re all gonna play together?
Masumi	A theatre topic… Maybe characters who have appeared in our plays up until now.
Kumon	Oh, sick! That sounds super fun.
	Let’s invite Director and everyone else later!
Masumi	I’ll do it if she’s there too.
Kumon	Woohoo!
	Alriiight, let’s come up with lots of other hype topics too!

↑ I’m pretty sure this is a parody of the “Yamanote Line Game” (The Yamanote Line is a huge train line in Tokyo). In this game, everyone sits around in a circle and list items/names from a chosen topic, one by one, to a rhythm.
