Alice Margatroid's Fantasy Rebirth Story
Rinnosuke
Rinnosuke...
Yukari
...and Yukari's...
Yukari & Rinnosuke
"Dress to Impresstival!"
Rinnosuke
It's finally time for another episode of "Dress to Impresstival!"―the show that brightens your day!
Rinnosuke
I'm your host from the Kourindou boutique, Rinnousuke Morichika!
Yukari
And I'm your hostess, the discerning eye for fashion judging from every gap, Yukari Yakumo!
Yukari & Rinnosuke
Without further ado, let us begin!
Rinnosuke
Let's see... Good. Alice is enjoying her tea in the garden. Hello! Could you spare us a few minutes?
Rinnosuke
...She's not moving. She doesn't have an ounce of strength in her body...! What's going on?!
Alice
What are you doing in front of my house...?
Rinnosuke
It's terrible! Alice has gone limp in front of her house! Wait, Alice, is this you're doing?! ...Uh, ah... what?!
Alice
She is a prototype life-size doll I made.
Cut! Let's all calm down for a moment!
Alice
Oh? There's actually someone with some sense here. Hello, PLAYER.
Hello. I'm helping both of them with our plan.
Alice
It doesn't seem like you're playing around or anything...
Yukari
I'm sure you will be interested in what we have to say.
Alice
You think so?
Alice
...Well, I was just about to have some tea, so why don't you all join me, and I'll hear you out?
Thank you! Let's take a little break!
Alice
I believe I understand the gist of it. But what could you possibly be preparing for that would require all this?
Yukari
Never mind that. Why don't we show you the clothes we were talking about?
Alice
This costume is adorable! Are you truly giving this to me? Thank you so much!
Yukari
Wonderful! I only wish everyone else was as happy about receiving gifts as you are.
Alice
It'll be perfect for my life-size doll!
Yukari
...Excuse me?
Yukari
But... it's for you...
Alice
Yes, I gathered that much from your explanation, but it's so cute that I want my doll to wear it.
Alice
They may look like humans, but they can't speak. Their clothing is one way they communicate.
Alice
That's why I want my doll to have this. I don't mind if she'll then look even more elegant and fancy than me!
Yukari
You're wrong, Alice.
Alice
...?!
Yukari
Our clothing speaks for us as well. Your body is also a doll of sorts you use to express yourself.
Yukari
Just like your beloved dolls.
Alice
How can you say something so embarrassing without missing a beat?!
Yukari
Anyway! Are you going to wear the costume or not? That's the question here!
Alice
I'll wear it! That's the logical thing to do!
Yukari
That's what I wanted to hear!
Alice
But I feel like I'm being taken advantage of a little here!
Yukari
...Don't you think a costume like this can warm your body, mind, and soul?
Alice
It's not that I don't think that, but when you say it, I start to doubt your intentions!
Alice
I'll still wear it, though. But before that, I must thank you, so... thank you.
Yukari & Rinnosuke
Yay!
It will look great on you!
Alice
I... uh, yeah, I hope so. That would be best.
Costume Presentation
Alice Margatroid
We had an awkward start, but now we're completely in sync. You always give me the right directions, just as deftly as I handle my dolls. I'm proud to have you with me, and I hope you'll stay by my side.
