[He does kind of get it, he thinks... it feels very familiar.
Tsukasa just laughs a little in response, takes a moment longer to look at the view, and then moves again for the stage wing to turn off the lights.]
It sounds like a very warm and exciting friendship!
I'm glad to know that you have such reliable friends, truly. Even if things do occasionally get loud... hm, well, I am very familiar with that.

[ this image is killing me.
tsukasa begins to move to turn off the lights, but yosuke is still standing in the middle of the stage to overlook the audience, arms folded over his chest and eyes scanning the room. ]
Never a dull moment, yeah. Even if some of us are apart now, they're the ones I can count on for anything. [ so like. purgatory without them sucks. he tilts his head back to watch tsukasa again instead. ]
Tell me a little about yours? Are they all people with SEKAIs, too?

[it is the most accurate.
"They're the ones I can count on for anything," Yosuke says. It really, really resonates; Tsukasa smiles to himself, expression softening.]
I would be happy to, of course!
[He joins Yosuke at center stage again, but then takes a few steps forward and sits, legs dangling off the edge of the stage.]
Rather than each having their own SEKAI, we all share mine! They are the other members of my theater troupe.
There are only four of us compared to your eight--er, unless you count the robot, of course--but even so, I feel as though we could likely give your group a run for their money when it comes to energy and loudness.

[ well if he's sitting, he'll amble over and plop down to join him. ]
I mean we count Teddie, so I guess a robot would probably count. [ also aegis and labrys are out there somewhere. ] So how does it all work then? Do you share your SEKAI because they all have the same dream as you do? I wouldn't be surprised if you guys were just as loud though, I've met members of the drama club at our school.
[ loud. ]
Have you known them for long? [ he kind of wants to clarify that they're real people and this isn't a miku situation, but he figures tsukasa will get around to explaining that. ]

[Loud drama kids... Yosuke is correct.
Tsukasa leans back on his hands, expression fond and warm and bright.]
For nearly two years now! We've been working towards our shared dream for that long, since we came together as a theater troupe.
I suppose they share it with me because we do share those feelings of making the world smile with excellent performances.

[ he eyeballs him a bit... ]
We're close enough in age that it's kinda impressive to think about how you already knew what you wanted to do and you've been working that long for your dream. It's not a bad one either. The world's already full of pretty big and scary things, so why shouldn't there be something a little nicer to look forward to?
[ but he's mulling over this thoughtfully. ]
If somebody's dream changed, would they be locked out of the SEKAI then? Or even in some crazy world where yours did, would they still be able to come in, you think?

[Yeah he's been set on this goal since he was like 5 years old, truly embarrassing.]
Not at all!
[Ah, finally something he can answer about the SEKAI with confidence. Miku, having gotten bored now that it's clear they aren't about to burst into soliloquies on stage, has disappeared again.]
After all, though our dreams are similar in essence, my troupe's dreams are ultimately already very different. Nene is like me, and wants to be an actress who is able to stand on stages the entire world over. Rui aspires to be a director who can create shows that can bring people together. And Emu wishes to simply protect her grandfather's amusement park from becoming something it was never meant to be.
And so there will inevitably be a time that we are forced to go our separate ways in order to properly pursue our dreams. But even so! I believe that we will always have this place, together.

[ i like that tsukasa has had the same dream since he was five and yosuke has a dialogue option about how working at junes might be his only option. it's part of why he has so many questions because man... what's it like to be so damn sure of your future? he's not so much dwelling on his as he is being curious about tsukasa's.
goodbye miku, sorry they are gabbing... but there's a soft, gentle huff of a laugh with that. ]
It really is similar then. We all had the same goal, but our reasons and our wants for our futures were all different. But I don't think we would've figured that out without each other or the events of last year. It's nice, you know? That you'll always have a place that's kind of like home for all of you.
... ever wish they were here, too?

[Yosuke 😭 Tsukasa is just a freak--
But without any real understanding of perception of what Yosuke is thinking about, Tsukasa focuses entirely on his words, expression softening into something wistful as he stares out at the audience seating.]
Of course I do. I wish it all the time.
Rui would have already figured out much of what is going on around here. Emu would have everyone smiling with her indefatigable energy and good cheer. And Nene would keep everyone on track with her no-nonsense attitude and sensibility.
[...]
I think it's only natural to wish they were here. They are our precious friends, after all. Ahhh, it really isn't the same without them at all!

I would describe it as excellent! Majestic! Inspiring!
[He can go on. I'm sorry. He's so embarrassing...]
Ah, but!! Time does pass while we are in here, so I'm hopeful the giants will have lost interest in us and moved on by the time we go back.

[ tsukasa's a nice good boy who won't have to deal with whatever brain garbage yosuke has going on right now, it's fine. ]
It sounds like you each have a specific kinda role in your group, too. [ very soft, very familiar. ] It's not like I hope they'll show up in another part of this maze or whatever, but I also wouldn't necessarily mind if they did because we're just be stronger together. You know? But it sounds kinda crazy when you say it that way. We shouldn't be wanting that kind of thing.

[yeah. . . the trek through the forest had to take at least a day? and how knows how long they spent poking around that candy house before they found the trap door leading to the cellar]
[Edamura gives a helpless shrug]
I don't know, man. It's weird. I don't know how to explain it.

Oh! I see!
[NODS AS IF HE SEES THE MAJESTY AND INSPIRATION IN A THEMEPARK. It is pretty neat... But more importantly:]
So it's pretty convenient, but also has some strong drawbacks... Is this, um... some sort of ability? It's not technology, is it?

[... Yeah, there is also that. Tsukasa pauses for a moment, and then breathes out a slow sigh, leaning back on his hands on the stage.]
... I do understand what you mean. Things have been quite dangerous thus far, and we shouldn't be wishing our friends into dangerous situations.
Even so, I don't think there's any harm in wishing. It just means that you care for them deeply, and that you feel more fulfilled when they're with you. You wishing won't cause them to end up here, so I say... wish away!
I personally can't ever consider missing our precious people to be a bad thing.

That's not wrong. [ he does feel more fulfilled with his friends and things have been dangerous. ] I mean we don't know how this place works, so I'd still be careful, but... you're right. Missing people isn't a bad thing. It just means you have something to fight for.
[Ahhh, Yosuke is right. They don't know anything about this place. Perhaps wishing their companions here really would--
But no, it's been the same group of people this whole time, right? Tsukasa wants to believe it will be okay, and so that is what he'll believe.]
Precisely! I completely agree!
[Tsukasa flashes Yosuke a bright grin at that, and then reaches for his phone.]
Now then. I suppose we ought to return to where we were, now that you've gotten a proper look around my SEKAI.
[so we can actually do the sins thing which is what this thread was originally about--]

Oh. [ he seems surprised, but likely because he temporarily forgot where they were. this place is... strangely calming despite being a literal circus. ] Yeah, we should go. But thanks for showing me. I'm ready to go when you are.
[ and we can actually remember the prompt and move onward. ]
[ and we can actually remember the prompt and move onward. ]
It was my pleasure!
[Despite it mostly being an accident at first.
Regardless, he pulls up his music app on his phone, hits play on the song (which did not ever sound like anything at any point), and they are back where they were before in a flash of light and colorful geometric shapes again.
It is a very gentle depositing back on their feet.]
... Ugh, it's still creepy in here.

[ again, a much nicer landing than the tv world. he makes a face though once his vision adjusts back to this chapel. ]
I changed my mind, can we go back? [ ugh. ] Let's get out of here. Doubt we're gonna find much else.
[ all you fools will find is that you are locked in now. ]
