Movies.

Nakanishi was currently browsing Netflix on her Samsung phone, trying to find a movie that seemed good for her and Mamoru to watch. She didn't want to disappoint him by finding a bad movie, so she scoured whatever the front page presented her. Unfortunately for her, regional settings had caused the app to default to Swedish instead of her native Japanese, and she couldn't find the setting to change the language of the app, leaving her with only the visual art of the covers to go off of.

It wasn't ideal, but if she and Mamoru were going to watch a movie together, she wouldn't just give up there, would she? *'It will be like watching movies with Mom and Dad,'* She thought, continuing to browse until she happened upon a movie cover with what looked like a solar eclipse and a few glitchy effects. It made her a little nervous about recommending it to Mamoru since she had a feeling it would be some form of horror movie, but, what if he liked horror movies? Sure, they terrified her, but who knows? He was the one who brought forth the idea of watching a movie.

She tapped on the movie. The name and description of it were in Swedish, but that was to be expected. She slowly sat up from her bed, realizing just how much she'd been laying there these past few months at the Cradle during her free time. She swung her legs over the bed and put her feet on the ground, then she leaned forward and stood up. She raised her arms and stretched her muscles for a moment, then turned and began to look for Mamoru in the dorm. Thankfully, he wasn't hard to spot. She looked down to her phone and opened her translator before she began to think about how she was going to word her movie request.

He wouldn't be disappointed if he didn't enjoy the movie. He would just nicely suggest a different one. 

Neither of them know what the fuck the screen says. The movie will probably end up being in English with Japanese subtitles, or the other way around.

He enters the dorm with a thing of chocolate covered pretzels he bought in town. 

"Uhhh.." Translator app go. "[I hope you like chocolate. I figured you would like something sweet.]"

It is time.
Fred
Nakanishi hears the door open and turns to the sound, immediately recognizing Mamoru's green hair. Her eyes widen, and she gasps in surprise. Wasn't he just in the dorm? She turns back to where she originally saw him, and realizes he wasn't there anymore, immediately uttering a startled squeak as she wonders what just happened.

She turns back to him and notices the bag of chocolate-covered pretzels and the translator app on his phone reading out a message in Japanese, which she reads. Realizing he probably just darted out of her vision to get the pretzels, she calmed down and pulled out her own phone, then she opened the translator and put a message into it, then she turns it around to show Mamoru the message. "[Thank you very much, Koyama-San. Are you ready to begin the movie?]"

After getting his confirmation, she nods and puts her phone down before walking over to the pillow which she had set up for herself as a cushion, then she sat on her knees, using the pillow as a soft support. She wasn't sure about the kind of cushion he'd want, so she borrowed a beanbag chair from somewhere in the Cradle and allowed him to sit on it. It is time.
Maria
He laughs a bit at the squeak. "[Sorry, I snuck out for a moment.]" He didn't mean to startle her, but that was kind of funny. 

He gives the confirmation with a nod. Yes. It is movie time. He plops down onto the bean bag chair. 

...Okay. Mamoru isn't 100% sure he recognizes that logo, but he thinks he does. And it's not a movie he expected Nishi to want to watch.. Well, it's not *That* Scary. And it's not *Too gorey*, which would be his main concern about a horror movie. He's sure Nishi intended to choose it, so he doesn't comment. 

It's been years since he's seen it, so he doesn't remember it that well. 

He's glad to overwrite what memory was there. 

"Alright." He takes one of the pretzels from the bag, munching it.
Fred
When Mamoru began to munch on his chocolate pretzels, Nakanishi began to play the movie. This was it, the movie they have been waiting for. Aannd..! A buffering circle. The red, spinning circle sat on the screen, dancing around and around in circles, as if taunting them. Nakanishi patiently waited for a few moments for the movie to load, sitting still on the pillow. Then, she began to worry that it would take too long to load, and there wouldn't be time to watch it.

So, wondering if it was an issue with the movie, she backed out of it and began to quickly scroll through the list of movies on the screen, until she noticed one with a cover depicting a child in a yellow raincoat, and a dimly lit clown holding a red balloon. The title didn't seem very long, but she couldn't read it. The cover of the movie made her a little nervous of what it would be, but it shouldn't be so bad, right? After all, Mamoru was with her. She turned to Mamoru and gave him a gentle tap on the shoulder to get his attention, then pointed to the movie, asking if he wanted to watch that instead.
Maria
He doesn't mind. He sighs, typing into the translator. "[I hate it when that happens. But if we pick another movie, it may be fixed.]"

He happened to glance at his phone the exact moment Nishi came across the new movie, and was working on silencing notifications as she tapped him. He looks at the movie.. *She must like horror.. That's okay. It's probably not* Too *Scary. I've read books by Stephen King before and they were fine.*

Mamoru nods in approval.

O K A Y

I still have a response for this saved somewhere

I just need to figure out how to word it out to fit the specific opening scene
Fred
Once Mamoru gave her the go-ahead to play the movie, she nods and presses play. Fortunately, the movie plays without any issues this time, much to her relief. She wouldn't want to keep her friend waiting for the movie. Knowing what's been happening at the Cradle, there may come a time where she won't be able to spend any more time with Mamoru.

The movie begins with a boy running down a rainy street with a paper boat. The town didn't look like what she was used to in Japan, but this was a foreign movie since she couldn't understand it. The Swedish subtitles didn't help her understand what was being said, but she was hopeful she could still enjoy it despite the language barrier.

The movie went on. She kept watching it silently with Mamoru, watching the yellow raincoat child run down the street, chasing his boat until it sailed into the drain. Nakanishi flinched a little once Pennywise appeared, which provided the movie's first jumpscare(ish). As the clown talked with the raincoat child, Nakanishi began to grow nervous. The clown... Didn't sit right with her. The way he was talking, how he looked, she wasn't sure if he was as good as he seemed.

Nakanishi watched the raincoat child slowly crawl towards the drain. The ambience suddenly became shrill and began to rise. The horror aspect of the movie was put into play. Nakanishi was frightened by the ambience and slowly scooted away from the TV. She was almost off of her pillow when the scene came to a climax. The clown's mouth grew wide and spurted rows upon rows of sharp teeth, then it bit the raincoat child's arm off. Watching the gore unfolding in front of her wide eyes terrified Nakanishi. The child screamed in agony and desperately tried to crawl away from the drain before being dragged down, never to be seen again.

As the movie went silent, Nakanishi couldn't help but shed a few tears. She was still afraid, but now she felt terrible for the raincoat child. She thought his fate was terrible, especially at such a young age. Quickly, she tried to wipe away her tears and scooted back onto her pillow to continue watching the movie with Mamoru. She didn't want to ruin this experience for him by crying.
