POV: A Date with Bocchi

Bocchi

(A-a date?! Someone actually asked ME on a date?! This has to be some kind of mistake!)

Bocchi

(But... but maybe... maybe I do want to go...)

Ikuyo

Bocchi-chan, this is amazing! Someone finally recognized how wonderful you are!

Ikuyo

You absolutely have to say yes! This could be the start of something beautiful!

Nijika

Don't worry, Bocchi-chan. Just be yourself and everything will work out fine.

Nijika

We believe in you, and we know you can do this!

Ryo

Besides, if you don't go, you'll just spend the whole time wondering what could have been.

Ryo

That's way more torturous than just going on one little date.

Bocchi

(They're all staring at me! The pressure is too much! But they're right...)

Bocchi

(I... I actually do want to go on this date...)

Bocchi

I-I'll... I'll go on the date!

Bocchi

Even if I make a complete fool of myself, at least I'll have tried!

Ikuyo

Yes! I'm so proud of you, Bocchi-chan!

Ikuyo

This is going to be the best date ever!

Bocchi

(Maybe... maybe this won't be so scary after all...)

Bocchi

(I just hope I don't completely mess this up!)

Bocchi

(So many people... so many rides... what if I embarrass myself?!)

Bocchi

(But this is my first real date... I have to try my best!)

Ikuyo

Look how cute Bocchi-chan looks in casual clothes!

Ikuyo

We have to make sure this date goes perfectly!

Bocchi

(Too much spinning! Too many lights! Everyone is staring!)

Bocchi

(I'm going to ruin everything! I need to find somewhere quiet!)

Nijika

Oh no! Bocchi-chan looks like she's having a panic attack!

Nijika

Should we help her? But we're supposed to be secret!

Ryo

I'm texting her date partner to suggest the quiet garden area.

Ryo

Sometimes the best support is invisible support.

Bocchi

(This quiet spot is perfect... I can actually breathe now.)

Bocchi

(Maybe I can enjoy this date after all... one step at a time.)

Ikuyo

Look! She's smiling now! Our secret mission is working!

Ikuyo

Bocchi-chan is braver than she thinks!

Bocchi

I... I want to try the small ferris wheel!

Bocchi

(If I can play guitar on stage, I can handle one little ride!)

Bocchi

(We're so high up... but the view is actually beautiful...)

Bocchi

(And... and Y/N 's being so patient with me...)

Ikuyo

Look! They're at the top now! This is the most romantic moment!

Ikuyo

Come on, Bocchi-chan! You can do it!

Bocchi

(This feeling in my chest... it's not just nervousness...)

Bocchi

(I... I think I love him... I think I love Y/N.)

Bocchi

(I can't believe I'm doing this...!)

Bocchi

I-I can't believe I just... that was my first...!

Bocchi

(But... but I'm so happy...)

Bocchi

T-thank you... for such a wonderful date...

Bocchi

I never thought I could feel this happy...

Nijika

Look at that smile on her face...

Nijika

Our little Bocchi-chan is growing up so fast!

Ryo

Mission accomplished. Though I think she managed just fine on her own.

Ryo

That's our guitarist for you.

Bocchi

T-thank you for today... I had a really wonderful time...

Bocchi

(I can't believe I actually kissed someone... my heart is still racing!)

Bocchi

(Wait... why do I hear giggling behind me?)

Ikuyo

Bocchi-chan! We saw everything on the ferris wheel!

Ikuyo

That was your first kiss, wasn't it?!

Nijika

You looked so cute up there, Bocchi-chan!

Nijika

I'm so proud of how brave you were!

Ryo

I got the whole thing on video. The steam coming out of your ears was priceless.

Ryo

You turned redder than a tomato.

Bocchi

NOOOO! You all saw that?! I'm going to die of embarrassment!

Bocchi

(This is worse than any stage fright I've ever experienced!)

Ikuyo

But Bocchi-chan, you looked so happy! That's all that matters!

Ikuyo

We're just so excited that you had such a wonderful first date!

Bocchi

I... I was happy... even though I was terrified the whole time...

Bocchi

(I guess... I guess I'm glad they care about me this much...)

Nijika

Come here, you! Group hug for our brave little Bocchi!

Nijika

We're so proud of you for putting yourself out there!
