Izumi	Hmm...
Sakyo	What have you been groaning about since earlier?
Izumi	Ah, sorry. I was just thinking about something.
Sakyo	What is it? Spit it out.
Izumi	So, um... Don't you think the lobby of our theater feels kind of lonely?
Sakyo	Hah? Why so sudden?
Izumi	When I went to help other theater companies, I saw some little decorations on their lobby.
	Compared to theirs, I think our lobby seems too bare and simple...
Sakyo	I see.
Izumi	That's why I thought it would be nice if there was something that would make the guests feel happy and joyful.
Sakyo	Decorations for the lobby, huh...
Izumi	--I talked about it with Sakyo-san earlier.
Omi	I do think that decorating the lobby would make the guests happy.
Izumi	You think so, too?
	I couldn't think of anything specific that would be good, though...
Omi	I'll try to think of something too, then.
Izumi	You will? Thanks!
Omi	Of course, it's our theater, after all. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
Omi	(I came to the shopping mall because I thought I would get more ideas if I saw things outside instead of thinking inside the dorm, but...)
	It's not that easy, is it?
	(Hm? That's...)
Yuki	Huh, It's Ma.
Azuma	What a coincidence, Omi.
Omi	It really is.
Azuma	Are you also out shopping?
Omi	No, but speaking of shopping--
	--And that's what happened.
Azuma	I see.
Yuki	That lobby's definitely bleak.
Omi	But when I started thinking about it, I couldn't come up with anything good.
Azuma	And that's why you came all the way here?
Omi	Yeah. I thought it might help if I see various things outside.
Yuki	But from the looks of it, seems like you're having the opposite problem instead.
Omi	Yeah...I know we can't buy anything too expensive, but I don't want them to look cheap either.
	I wish I could decorate it with something original...
Yuki	In that case, you should make use of that special skill of yours.
Azuma	Ahh, I see. Omi's special skill is indeed perfect for this case.
Omi	My special skill...?

Omi	I'm back.
Izumi	Welcome back. That's a lot of stuff, what's all that?
Omi	I just did a little shopping.
	Hey, Director. Have you decided what to decorate the lobby with?
Izumi	No, I haven't...
Omi	Then there's something I'd like to try. I came up with the idea after Yuki and Azuma-san gave me some advice earlier.
Izumi	Is that what those are for, then?
Omi	Yeah.
Izumi	Wow, these are wool felt materials!
	Are you perhaps going to make something out of wool felt...?
Omi	Correct.
	I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it well, but I feel like I should just try first.
Izumi	Just what are you trying to make...?
Omi	You'll just have to look forward to it and wait until I finish.
Izumi	I see. Then can I sit here and watch until you do?
Omi	I don't mind... But it's boring to just watch, isn't it?
	Since you're here, why don't you try making something as well? I bought a lot of materials.
Izumi	Is that fine with you? Then I guess I'll try.
Omi	Yeah, let's make them together.
Omi	All right, it's done.
Izumi	Eh, this is...Banri-kun?!
Omi	Haha, so you figured it out, huh?
Izumi	No, no, this is so alike that you can tell at a glance! Plus it's so adorable!
Omi	Then is it not a problem to display this in the lobby?
Izumi	It's far from being a problem, I'm sure our guests are going to be thrilled!
Omi	I see. I'm glad to hear that.
	All right, since I got your approval, let's make the other members too, shall we?
Izumi	I'm looking forward to it. Are you going to make the Autumn Troupe first?
Omi	That's right.
Omi	And with this the Autumn Troupe is complete...there.
Izumi	Whoa, you finished in no time!
Omi	Can you tell who is who?
Izumi	Of course! You captured everyone's characteristics perfectly. You're amazing...
Omi	As I was making it, I naturally thought that it would be better this way.
	So maybe that's why I was able to get their features right. It's also the face of the guys I see on a regular basis.
Izumi	Fufu, I see. Every detail is just like them.
	...Wait, what? If you look closely, there are 7 of them...ah, it's Sakoda-san!
Omi	Yeah. I just felt that if I made Sakyo-san, I had to make Sakoda-san as well.
	This is not for the lobby decoration, so I'll give it to him.
Izumi	I'm sure Sakoda-san will be happy!
Omi	That'd be great.

Omi	Something like this, I guess.
Sakyo	Yeah.
Izumi	Mini Autumn Troupe installation, complete! Fufu, these are so adorable.
Omi	I'm curious how the guests will react when they see this.
Sakyo	It'll be fine if it's as good as this.
	I heard you're going to make the other members too, but is that amount okay for just one person to do?
Omi	Yes. I was initially going to make them all by myself, but Yuki and Muku told me they'd help, so we'll be fine.
Sakyo	I see. Don't overdo it.
Sakoda	Anikiiii!
Sakyo	You're here. You're quite early.
Sakoda	You called me, so I came flying here! What do you need?!
Sakyo	No, I'm not the one who needs you today.
Sakoda	Huh?
Omi	Sorry to bother you, Sakoda-san. I hope you don't mind that you had to come all the way here...
Sakoda	Fushimi-san? Do you need something again?
Omi	Here, I made this. Please have this if you'd like.
Sakoda	Eh...a doll of me?! For me? Are you sure?!
Omi	Yes. When I made Sakyo-san, your face came to mind, so I guess I just made it...
Sakoda	F-Fushimi-san! Oh man, I'm so happy, thanks!!
Omi	Haha, I'm glad if it made you happy.
Sakoda	I'll take care of this for the rest of my life! Wait, no, I have no choice but to make this as an heirloom!
	Come on, Aniki, look at this! It's my alter ego! Look, look!!
Sakyo	Oi, stop pushing me! He's a loud guy, as you can tell.
Izumi	Fufu, I knew that Sakoda-san would be overjoyed.
Omi	Yeah. It was worth making if he's that pleased.
	...That's right, Director. Can you drop by my room later?
Izumi	? Yeah, sure.
Omi	Sorry to make you come here.
Izumi	It's fine. What's up?
Omi	I want to give you this.
Izumi	Eh, a doll of me?! Omi-kun, you even made mine?
Omi	Yeah. You seem to like the dolls I made.
Izumi	Thank you, I'm so happy...! I'll definitely cherish this!
	To tell you the truth, I was kind of hoping that you'd make one for me, too.
Omi	I'm glad, then.
CHOICE 1: Did you know? [+] Izumi Did you perhaps know that I wanted one, too? Did it show on my face... Omi You just looked really happy when I showed you the Autumn Troupe dolls. So I thought, maybe. Even if that wasn't the case, I was planning to make one for you from the beginning. Izumi Is that so? Omi Of course, since you're our dear friend, too. Izumi Fufu, thank you!
CHOICE 2: Where should I decorate this? [+] Izumi Where should I decorate this? I wonder if I should put it in my room. ...I suddenly feel bad that I can have this while everyone else's was put on display in the lobby. Omi Haha, that's all right. I originally made them to decorate the lobby anyway. I'd be happy if you'd decorate your room with this doll. If someone wants one for themselves, I can just make another one for them. Izumi As expected of Omi-kun, you're so nice...!
Izumi	Speaking of which, you didn't make one for Ryo-san?
Omi	Ah... I thought about it for a bit, but...
	I'm too embarrassed when I think about giving it to him, so I ended up not making it.
Izumi	Is that so? But I think Ryo-san will be very happy to have his own doll made by Omi-kun.
Omi	Haha, I'm sure he will.
	Then I guess I'll make one for Ryo next time.
