Taisho Roman Revolution
[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in an opera house.
You're wearing servant uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.
But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you?
...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.
Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

Re: DISCUSSION
[ this isn't a real smile either but. it's not so sharp as usual ]
Re: DISCUSSION
With Shu we did spectacular. He...
[ Shaking her head. ]
He mastered everything and got this opera house for us. But a friend... he's no longer here anymore. We were forced into a different round and we-- well. We didn't come out in one piece.
[ Strained smile. ]
I don't really want to go through that again. Not any of you.
Re: DISCUSSION
Is it okay if I hold your hand? I can feel it, I promise.
Re: DISCUSSION
I am not being a very good senpai right now.
[ . . . Taking her hand though. ]
You're incredible, Ao-chan.
Re: DISCUSSION
It's okay, I think you're doing fine. It feels like you're our rock the rest of the time, because you're the one who cares about everyone the most. Wouldn't it be weird if you could even be calm at a time like this?
Re: DISCUSSION
A rock... she says. She doesn't really feel that way. And she messes up a lot. But-- hearing her say that gives her a small boost. Her hand tightens in her own. ]
Thank you, Ao...
Re: DISCUSSION
It's the truth.
Do you feel a little better?
Re: DISCUSSION
Sorry. I'll be better from here on out, okay...?
