Maybe he's at home, or maybe spent all day and night working again, but either way, one morning he'll hear the faint sounds of circus music playing outside.
Rinku is standing out there in a bright clown dress, with every robot Rui's ever given her milling around her: the lion nuzzling her side, the dancing one keeping time while the music-player one plays the BGM, and the Bedtime Bot hovering and ready to recite lines.
Rinku begins.]
Donchaka, puppuku, rapapa! A clown and her fairy friends invite you to a merry dream. Donchaka, puppuku, rattatta! Now, then, everyone, thank you for waiting. The fun show is about to begin!
[Rinku twirls and bows to the empty sidewalk. It is way too early for this.]
All right, all right! We've got someone in the audience right over there!
[The Bedtime Bot lights up to recite.]
We bring in people every night to repaint their nightmares into happy dreams. Impressive. You could just leave them be and go have fun.
Oh, fairy! If you're going to dream every night, it's better to have a fun one, right? All right, let's do our best today too!
[Rui wakes up to the circus music, and heads over to the window. He opens it up when he sees Rinku. As he watches her perform, he wonders if he's still asleep. It's a slightly too mundane for this to be one of his dreams though.]
Rinku~
[The tone of his voice is fond, even if he hasn't woken up enough for his signature smile yet. Still, he's not one to sit out on a show, so he speaks up after a moment.]
Dear clown! You say you can repaint nightmares? What's the fee? I have great need of your skills, you see!
[Rinku lights up. She waves excitedly up at the window.]
Don't be silly! You don't need to pay when you're already in the audience!
[She giggles and lets Bedtime Bot and Dance Bot say their prerecorded lines.]
That's Rinku for you -- all fired up again today.
Seriously... But it looks like this human really needs our help.
Bad dream. Wonder why.
[That last line being from the ball robot Chipp gave her, whose lines had to be cut down severely.]
Yeah... it makes you wonder if something happened in the real world.
[The script has gone through plenty of rewrites for this. With a wave, Rinku pulls out her fairy wing harness and puts it on over her costume so she can fly up to Rui's window.]
Why don't you tell me what's on your mind? Then we can make today's show even more fun so you'll wake up happy!
