[ because i do not want this thread to become 2394832 comments log, just imagine that yuel is thoroughly distracted by the performance and dances along until she moves on out of fear that sasazuka will abandon her.
anyway, she's super impressed by the subway system. ]
Wow, it's like a whole 'nother world down here. And there's even more people. This is more people than my entire village.
[ It's so crowded that Yuel takes her tail to keep it from being trapped between two other people, holding it to her chest as a hoarde of emotionless New Yorkers squeeze in around them. ]
It was normal, but compared to this place it's tiny.
[ She follows him out of the car and past yet another subway stop with some more buskers, and soon they're coming up to an area even brighter and more crowded than the one they'd already been in.
And with plenty more street performers.
Her eyes go to one of the giant screens and she immediately runs over to it. ]
In any case, Yuel releases him once they sit down, bouncing in her seat a little in anticipation. And then the show starts and... Yuel just starts laughing. There are a few moments of confusion, but mostly she's just laughing, loudly and without any shame.
When she finally manages to catch her breath for a second, she leans over to Sasazuka, ] How come no one else is laughing?
[ She whips around back to the stage, eyes wide. And somehow, even though he's lying, she completely believes that Grizabella going to the Heaviside Layer means she'd died.
And so... inexplicably, she's kind of sad when the musical comes to a close, sighing as she capsizes against him, her head falling on her shoulder. ]

no subject
[ Presumably. Anyway, she can't help but notice that people are actively avoiding looking at her. ]
I thought ya said Erunes didn't exist in yer world, but no one's starin' at me.
[ Probably assuming she's a subway performer and hoping she won't ask for money. ]
no subject
[ like, specifically here. new york doesn't give a fuck. ]
They're probably hoping you won't pull out an instrument.

Her eyes go to one of the giant screens and she immediately runs over to it. ]

Don't run too far. I think even running into a fake bus will probably suck.
no subject
And ya spent all yer time workin' when there's so much to see?!
[ She's going to get dizzy is she keeps spinning around. ]
no subject
[ he just puts a hand on the back of her head to direct her attention and make her stop being spinny. ]
This way.
no subject
I assume they find a theatre soon enough, and she'll be looking up at it in wonder. ]
What're we watchin'?
no subject
but he looks at what's showing and i decided that it is cats. he makes a face. ]
Something memorable.
no subject
Ooh. [ She looks at the posters as they wander in. ] The actors look funny.
[ She grabs his hand as they get closer to the door, tugging him along as she starts to hurry, anticipation building. ]
no subject
[ he is going to try to release his hand but he is at least following after her. ]
no subject
[ And also stop yelling, since they're walking into the theatre now. ]
no subject
[ STOP
but they can go in. do they have tickets? doesn't matter. takeru knows whats to expect at least so he's mostly here to see yuel's reaction. ]

no subject
Just look at 'em!
[ She points to a bunch of cats gyrating on stage. ]
no subject
there is a very slow nod. ]
It's to be taken seriously.
no subject
[ She bursts out into giggles when she looks back at the stage, shoulders shaking as the show progresses.
She does eventually quiet down for Memory, though the song lacks impact when she has no context. ]
Why's she so sad?
no subject
[ this is not remotely true. ]
no subject
[ She whips around back to the stage, eyes wide. And somehow, even though he's lying, she completely believes that Grizabella going to the Heaviside Layer means she'd died.
