“ my future should be obvious, right? making anime, of course! ” and midori doesn’t mind explaining her ambitions again, either: it’s all a matter of whether sayaka’s ears can take the onslaught that’s about to happen.
she leans across the desk with a manic look in her eye. “ in anime, you can make so many things happen that just can’t in real life! changing perspectives with different camera angles, exaggeration of movement, not to mention the dynamic expressions you can make - well, those are more mizusaki-shi’s specialty, but as for the scenery…look at this! ” a page is pulled up. “ if you wanted, you could have this skyscraper here be for a branch of government, or a warehouse for widespread technology, or a headquarters for a villain, or a sanctuary for - anyone, really!
“ there’s so many possibilities, and this is just one building! think about the town surrounding it, who lives there? and there? do they use technology we use to keep those buildings running? that could be a bike shop, or - or a different mode of transportation entirely! something beyond the scope of our capabilities! - but to the people living here, it’s as common as breathing! see? a whole world of adventure lies right here in this paper, ready for me to explore it just with my mind and my hand! i can make the unreal real! right, kanamori-kun?! ”
there was a sharp inhale as sayaka braced herself, resting her elbow on the nea rest surface, before resting her cheek in her hand. she wouldn’t openly admit it, but midori was PERSISTENT, that was for sure. she had half a mind to interrupt, but instead ... opted to listen, instead. just this once.
in a way, they both had their motivations. sayaka had her strive for money, tsubame had the aspiration of being an animator, and midori, above them all, wanted to create anime. while she herself didn’t personally understand the appeal of it, she had to admit ... it was intriguing.
“ you’re right, i guess, “ sayaka said nonchalantly, looking over the drawing carefully. “ you and tsubame seem to drag me into another world, i don’t even know how you manage it. i don’t even bother with imagination for daydreams like that. “ and yet it happened when she was with those two anyway.
“ i’ve been ... having fun, in a way. “
