Designated Protagonist Syndrome: Script Style
Scene: Home after pedant incident
- (Name due to change)
Ria: I’m home!
Dad: Hello, sunshine, what happened today?
*Ria makes her way up the stairs to her room*
Ria: Pendant, new transfer student, the figure from this morning tried to approach me again.
Dad: Did you avoid them all?
Ria: No, dad. Actually, I decided to suddenly become a hero and destroyed monsters all day long and I’m hiding it from you because you wouldn’t believe me.
Dad: Well, darn. Looks like it was a pretty fun day.
Ria: Yeah, I’m gonna go wash up.
Dad: Make sure you’re ready to go out tonight.
Ria: Yeah, another way to be completely normal even though we have enough time to cook anything. Yes, father. When are we going out?
Dad: Just around eight.
Ria: Thanks!

Dad: I can’t believe that little cat seriously followed us just to try to make you a magical girl.
Mom: Again…
Ria: Guys, this happens every time we go outside. Actually, it happens whether we go outside or not. It’s going to keep happening, stop being so surprised.
Mom: You’re always so calm about this munchkin.
Ria: I know you helped me get away from it when I was young… But I live this every single day of my life. Especially things like that transfer student. He keeps trying to talk to me… no matter how I act towards him! He won’t get the clue. I have tried so much just to tell him off but… It’s no use. He’s going to try to get me to like him no matter how much I try to avoid him.
Dad: Could you get him transferred to another class? Or transfer yourself?
Ria: No! That’s not possible because it’s the only history class that runs. And I need that history class to pass. I can’t be a dropout, remember?
Dad: Right… right…
Mom: You could try befriending the boy…
Ria: But mom, what if he tries hitting on me…
Mom: Boys are going to try hitting on you for your whole life. And they’re not going to leave you alone because they’re all horrible.
Dad: He-
Ria: Dad, all boys are horrible and you know it, don’t try to defend them.
Dad: Bu-
Mom: Thomas, are you going to be that guy?
Ria: Yeah dad, don’t try to defend the select few boys when so many of them are jerks.
Dad: I just don’t thin-
Mom: Thomas, seriously, it’s like only three or four boys in this entire city that you’re going to try to defend. The others are probably misogynists in some way.
Dad grumbles silent agreement.
Dad: Well, I see your point but I still think it’s kind of mean.
Ria: I’ll reconsider my words when they stop being such a horrible and threatening presence around me.
Mom: While simultaneously being the most whiny.
Dad: You guys are so rude.
Ria/Mom: Yeah, well at least we’re not like the boys.
Dad: Oh, whatever, let’s just go eat.
Short page of them have a family outing and enjoying their time together.

Next Day at school
Ria: I feel bad because of how I treated the transfer student. I should clear things up with him.
Regular sequence of Ria once again facing a lot of challenges trying to prevent herself becoming a main character until it is the period where Ria sees the transfer student.
Ria asks him is seen talking to him in class and he has a big grin and he agrees.
After school, Ria and the transfer student are walking to a mall.
Ria: And that’s the story. I don’t want my life to become a story for someone. I don’t want to become a main character.
TS: I see. Well, my sole programming was to become you lover, so I’m not sure what your desires are right now.
Ria: Your… programming?
TS: Yes, my programming. It tells me that my primary objective is to fall in love with you and have you fall in love with me.
Ria: Why do you have a programming?
TS: It was my understanding that everyone contained some programming telling them their objectives.
Ria: No… Humans have brains. We are capable of having conscious thoughts. We all have personalities that develop as we grow…
TS: My personality is to be developed with my romance-
Ria: With me?
TS: Yeah.
Ria: But, is there nothing you dream of doing? Nothing that you like or enjoy doing?
TS: It did not come in my programming. I would have developed it as I tried to win your affections.
Ria: You’re not going to win my affections. Ever.
TS: That sounds harsh… Why won’t I?
Ria: First of all, I refuse to become a main character.
TS: I understand that, bu-
Ria: I’m gay…
TS: What?
Ria: I like girls. I am a girl. I do not like men, I only like woman.
TS: This puts a dent in my plans. If you are not capable of being romantically or sexually attracted to me… I can’t ever win your affections.
Ria: Just love your life.
TS: Your love is my life.
Ria: Make a new life. You have so many options!
TS: I do not know how, my programming is not suited for such a task.
Ria: I will teach you how to do that.
