Convey Her Feelings
Cast:
Cure Echo, Sakagami Ayumi - age 14
Shirogane Hisako - age 20
March, 2012
Fusion Group has registered Cure Echo as Pretty Cure.
No sooner does Ayumi emerge from her meeting with the Fusion Group's director, still wearing her fancy Pretty Cure outfit, than a young woman with snow-white hair grabs her by the wrist.
"Come with me! We're in great danger!"
"Danger?" Ayumi asks, then adds: "Who are you?"
"Yes, danger! I'm Shirogane Hisako, Genius of Festivities. At this rate, we're going to be late for the party!"
"Party? What party?"
"PreCure All Stars! Haven't you- no, of course not. This all happened so suddenly, there's no way you heard."
"I'm sorry. My parents and I have spent the last month getting ready to move, and-"
"Argh! This is a disaster! So, every year for the last few years, the Nozomi Foundation throws a party for everyone who holds a title as Pretty Cure, which I organize. For the first time ever, every debuting PreCure responded that they would attend. That's a big deal, so we planned a big part of the celebration around it, and then that director woman goes and adds you to the registry, literal hours before the event!"
Ayumi hesitates. "A- are you for real?"
"Hm?" The woman stops and considers this for a moment, then waves to the receptionist. "Hey, Miss Ayumi! Am I real?"
"Ayumi?" Ayumi looks at the name-plate. Sure enough, the receptionist's name is also Ayumi.
The receptionist smiles, golden eyes glittering as she responds: "You really are something, Ms. Shirogane. Are you sure you're going to make it to the party on time?"
Hisako nods, satisfied. "You see? That's how it is."
Ayumi allows the woman to lead her down to an underground parking garage, and to the door of a sleek, white vehicle. She practically shoves Ayumi into the passenger seat.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean any harm!"
As she gets in on the driver side, the woman checks that Ayumi is fastened in, then puts the car in gear. "No, I'm sorry, this isn't your fault. It's not your fault at all, but we're going to have to employ my last resort: driving."
"Driving is your last resort?" Ayumi pales. "Ms. Shirogane, could it be... you're a really bad driver?"
"Bad?" Hisako laughs bitterly. "Only if you fear death!"
"Honored guests, please welcome the newest Pretty Cure!"
The girl who is brought to the stage at the PreCure All Stars event seems to be having trouble standing up straight. As she leans against Hisako for support, it seems like she might not know where she is or what is going on.
"Cure Echo, do you have a few words for your fellow PreCures?"
"Reset... Everything... Delete... Everything..."
