Coast
*Simmering*
Shosuke
Hey, all of you. If you don't have anything else to do, start getting ready for bed.
*Rustling*
Shosuke
We're running out of firewood, so I'll be out gathering some.
Shosuke
No, that's okay. Use the remaining wood to keep the fire going.
*Footsteps*
Rui
As much as we'd like to... I have a feeling that Shosuke doesn't want us venturing into the jungle again, no?
Rui
I'm sure he won't have to go very far. I mean, we have a fire set up, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee our own safety.
*Leaves Rustling*

Monkeys
Ook...?
Tsukasa
Honestly... First, they steal our bananas, and now this. They must enjoy keeping us on our toes.
Rui
In general, monkeys start their day at dawn. I thought they'd be asleep now too since they usually go to sleep very early.
Monkeys
Ook♪ Ook♪
Rui
Yes. This island's uninhabited, so humans are probably a rare or new sight to them. As such, they may be curious to learn more.
Nene
That's actually really interesting. When I realized that we were on a desert island, I couldn't help but be scared of the unknown or what was out there...
Rui
To be fair, we were stranded and in a situation where our safety wasn't guaranteed. I feel it's only natural for someone to be fearful or anxious.
Monkeys
Ook ook... Ook!
Nene
I was talking about how it'd be nice if I could also learn how to "enjoy the unknown" or "learn more about the unknown".
Nene
(I was so afraid and convinced that I wouldn't be able to camp out or handle having to survive like this...)
Nene
(But I have a feeling that Ms. Kazamatsuri would've looked for a silver lining like Emu and the others.)
MEIKO
<The moment before you go on stage is always a little scary because you're worried about how things will go and how the audience will react, right?>
Rui
If you believe that's what you need to become to make your dream come true, then I think you can.
*Hug*
Nene
Whoa! E-Emu?! What happened to playing with the monkeys and seeing who could make the funniest faces?
Tsukasa
Yes, the monkeys started cracking up and applauding because of all the incredible faces she was making. They seemed very satisfied and left soon after.
Emu
More importantly, Nene, I really don't believe you're as big a scaredy cat as you think you are.
Tsukasa & Rui
Yes.
*Footsteps*
Shosuke
I found some wood that we can use for the fire.
Shosuke
Huh? Funny faces?

Phoenix Wonderland
Wonder Stage
Rui
Hehe. Today's the day our phones are supposed to be returned to us after being repaired, so I'm sure she's wondering if her data was safe.
Tsukasa
But I understand how you feel, Nene, especially since that strange song called Untitled is on our phones.
Tsukasa
However, KAITO said that as long as our feelings persist, Untitled will reappear even if we end up getting new phones.
Nene
Yes, there is! Besides Untitled, I had other songs, game data and stuff from messaging apps on there!
Nene
I know, but my phone was also my alarm... It also let me play games, listen to music or watch some videos if I had some time to spare...
Nene
The point is, I can't imagine living life without it. I haven't had it in my hands for several days now, so of course I'm getting antsy.
Tsukasa
You speak of your phone as if it's some sort of music-playing-gaming device, while its original purpose is to be used as a means of communicating with others.
Nene
That's actually what I'm worried about the most. I really don't remember the last time I backed everything up...
Nene
Even after finally becoming friends with Hoshino and the others and swapping contact info with them...
Tsukasa
Hm? You can still see them if you really want to, no? I'm sure they'll understand if you tell her what happened.
Tsukasa
Like I said, I can always ask Saki... No, wait...! All you'd have to do is ask for their information again!
*Footsteps*
Shosuke
*Sigh* Never a quiet moment with all of you, huh?
Shosuke
Ah, they've been repaired and returned on schedule. I was also told that they were able to recover most of your data. So, here you are...
*Tapping*
Shosuke
Alright, the rest of you, here.
Shosuke
I had the most talented technicians in our corporate group take a look at them so they should be fine, but you'll need to check to see if everything's still there...
*Tapping*
*Tapping*
Shosuke
Anyway, everything appears to be in order, so I'll be going now. I still have some work to do.
Shosuke
You're welcome. Now, I really need to get going.
*Footsteps*
Tsukasa
Alright, now that we know that our phones are okay, let's head over for a long overdue visit!
Emu
Yeah! It'll be great to let Miku and everyone know that we're back since we lost contact with them for a while!
