PNC Story/Livestreaming Stage 5-4/Script

As Nanaka's song reaches its climax, two people battle fiercely under the night sky.

Kuro: "No way. Are there people out there who actually like Nanaka? What's so good about this song anyway?"
Kuro: "The previous poster must be deaf. How can a song by Nanaka NOT be good? Her trills are just amazing, and it's not like her lyrics are her moaning about random stuff. Totally one-shots the competition."

Reverence: "In addition to the pros mentioned by the previous poster, there are several more good points about Nanaka."
Reverence: "Her voice has certain qualities that appeal to Sanctifier listeners, and within the theatre, operands are filtered and topped up."

Kuro: Oh, come on, your replies are all so cold and clinical. Anyone can tell it's a Sanctifier shill at work! Do you mind!?

Reverence: A false-flag? Was it that obvious?

Kuro: It was SUPER obvious, like a cockroach crawling out of a bowl of rice. You can tell at a glance that it's a shill.

Reverence: How can you tell?

Kuro: (Sighs) You mean you don't know? Here's a tip.
Kuro: Everyone praised her subjectively. Only a Sanctifier who prizes their blockheadedness would cite public benefit as a pro.

Reverence: …

Kuro: A song is a song; if you like it, you like it. That's a subjective thing.

Reverence: How can you even determine if something like that is right or wrong?

Kuro: With your heart, dear! Believe in your heart. That's the secret to the magic!

Kuro makes a V sign.

Reverence: …I see where the flaw in my logic lies.

Kuro: Got it? Then carry on! Hurry up, the production site… They wouldn't dare take a break like this.

Reverence closes her Sanctifier interface and stands up.

Kuro: …What now? Why are you standing up?

Reverence: My problem is that I got caught up in your twisted logic. The truth is, there is no need for me to abide by your rules–
Reverence: All I need to do is cleanse you and spare Nanaka. That way, the Burbank Sector will continue to prosper.

Kuro: hang on, how can this…

Reverence: Taste my axe!

Kuro: Holy [BLEEP], you seriously going to do this, sis?

As though to ward off future temptations from Kuro, Reverence no longer responds to her, bringing one cleaving strike after another down towards her.

Kuro: Come, streaming studio– No, crap, the camera's gone off to film Nanaka… I'm screwed!

Just as Reverence's axe is about to split Kuto into Ku and Ro–
A blinding light suddenly shines beneath her feet.

Nanaka's Voice: I won't let you kill Kuro.

Reverence looks up, and the massive phantom image of Nanaka slowly descends from the sky.
As she is bathed in the blinding light, Kuro can feel warm operands flowing into her body, and she goes from a fragile and weak agent to a mighty warrior.

Kuro: These are… Boost Operands.

Nanaka: Do you feel it? The whole of the Burbank Sector is cheering us on!

Reverence: How could this be? It's impossible!

Nanaka: Nothing is impossible with love and peace.

Kuro: Bet you're really regretting it now, Reverence!
