Icon Dialogue Agent Talk with Nangong Yu while she's relaxing on the rooftop

Nangong Yu is standing alone on the rooftop in Sixth Street, looking like something's on her mind... I should talk to her.
(Idle)
Nangong Yu: Sunna's dream...
Nangong Yu: What about my dream...?
(Talk to Nangong Yu)
Nangong Yu: Can you really lend someone a dream?
Nangong Yu: Borrowing someone else's dream, pretending it's my own...
Nangong Yu: Pretty absurd, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Something on your mind, Nangong?

Trust Lease on a Dream

Story Description: Nangong clears her head on the roofttop at night, talking about her struggles with her dream: what started as something "rented" from a friend has now become an ideal she can't let go of.


Nangong Yu: ...Manager? Guess I'm not the only one who comes up to the rooftop to clear their head, huh.
Icon Dialogue Talk Clear your head?
Icon Dialogue Talk Is something on your mind, Nangong?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): So what's weighing on your mind so (‍heavilyheavily / heavyheavy‍) that even the night breeze up here can't blow it away? Mind sharing with me?
Nangong Yu: Hmph...
Nangong Yu: I was just wondering something kinda silly... Manager, do you think dreams could work like renting apartments? Something you temporarily sign a lease for and just stay in for a bit?
Icon Dialogue Talk Renting... a dream?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What do you mean? How do you rent a dream like renting a place?
Nangong Yu: At 404 Live on Sixth Street, there's a small apartment called "Sunna's Dream." The lease has no fixed term, and I pay with my wings and talent. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk You mean...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You mean... your reason for being on stage, don't you?
Nangong Yu: Bingo! Right from the start, I knew I was only getting on stage to help that crybaby become a composer.
Nangong Yu: I handled the choreography, she wrote the music, and the idol group was just... a vehicle to reach that goal. That's what I kept telling myself back then.
Nangong Yu: But sometimes, standing on stage and seeing the smiles on Sunna's and Aria's faces as they perform beside me, I can't help feeling a little... jealous.
Icon Dialogue Talk Jealous...?
Icon Dialogue Talk You're the captain they admire and envy.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Why would you think that way, Nangong? You're the most talented captain, the person Sunna and Aria have always (‍admired and relied on.admired and relied on. / relied on and admired.relied on and admired.‍)
Nangong Yu: ...
Nangong Yu: When Aria picks up the mic under the spotlight...
Nangong Yu: Or when Sunna lays down notes for the sheet music...
Nangong Yu: Honestly, those moments make me jealous... Their nervous yet determined eyes, the glow on their faces that says, "This is why I'm here."
Icon Dialogue Talk You have your own light, Nangong.
Icon Dialogue Talk You're shiny in my eyes, Nangong.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍You're rightYou're right / YeahYeah‍), Sunna and Aria have their (‍own light. Butown light. But / light, butlight, but‍) you've always had your own unique shine (‍as wellas well / tootoo‍), Nangong — to me, to them, to all the Delulus.
Nangong Yu: Me? That's probably just the reflection of the neon signs downstairs. A rented dream, a borrowed shine.
Nangong Yu: My dream used to be helping Sunna achieve hers... But if one day, even Sunna gave up on her own dream...
Nangong Yu: Then my whole delusion about "dreams" would come to an end as well, just like these useless pretty wings on my back...
Icon Dialogue Talk You've never stopped beating your wings, Nangong.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Even if you can't truly fly, you've never stopped beating your wings, Nangong.
Nangong Yu: Because there are always people watching below the stage, waiting, hoping.
Nangong Yu: For Sunna, Aria, and all the Delulus holding their glow sticks, for this grand delusion, I can't stop pretending to fly.
Icon Dialogue Talk Angels of Delusion have gone through a lot.
Icon Dialogue Talk This dream must have gained even more meaning.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Knowing you, (‍the fact that you can calmly voice your doubts must mean you've already found new meaning and answers, right?the fact that you can calmly voice your doubts must mean you've already found new meaning and answers, right? / the fact that you're opening up about what's been bugging you... You've gotta have already figured things out, haven't you?the fact that you're opening up about what's been bugging you... You've gotta have already figured things out, haven't you?‍)
Nangong Yu: It's kinda embarrassing how you see right through me, smarty-pants~
Nangong Yu: I used to think being an idol was just business, playing a character people like, giving them what they want, making fake sparkly dreams.
Nangong Yu: But when I saw the photos people took from angles I'd never even thought of, and read all those fan letters from our Delulus, each one with its own special story...
Nangong Yu: When I saw how Ms. Cecilia used to shine so brightly on stage, and how Astra Yao pours her heart and soul into every single song...
Nangong Yu: All around me: onstage, offstage, during Gilded Carrot Day and every ordinary day, I saw so many people like you out there hustling for their dreams.
Nangong Yu: And somewhere along the way... something inside me shifted. So when Sunna and Aria went on and on about my choreography like they always do, I actually got a little flustered, and maybe even kinda proud? Like a total rookie.... Like an inexperienced child.
Icon Dialogue Talk Like a child who believes in their dreams, yeah?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): A child's dream is the purest and most sincere, isn't it?
Nangong Yu: What if... tomorrow's Nangong steps onto the stage, no longer just "for fulfilling her best friend's dream..." would you look at her differently?
Icon Dialogue Talk I always have.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I've always had my own unique view of you (‍fromfrom / inin‍) the audience.
Nangong Yu: From the very front row?
Icon Dialogue Talk From the very front row.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Front row, right in the center.
Nangong Yu: Then it's a deal.
Nangong Yu: Starting tomorrow, I'm moving out — no more renting.
Nangong Yu: What shines under the spotlight is the dream that belongs to the three of us—to me, to Sunna, and to Aria. A dream unique to each of us, yet brought together as one.
Nangong Yu: Manager, please keep watching this innocent delusion of ours.

(Talk to Nangong Yu again, optional)
Nangong Yu: Talking it through with you really took a weight off my chest! Now I know exactly what I gotta do!
Nangong Yu: So it's settled then, Manager?
Nangong Yu: Keep watching this innocent delusion!
