[this is amazing. i'm picturing shale just sitting here politely watching for an entire hour while kumon acts out a ten person play by himself. they definitely do sit politely and appear entertained.
when the play is over, they gently clap their stone hands together.]
Wow, that was great. The only question I have about it is, what's baseball?
[okay so they focus and summon into their hands...a notebook. Inside is written a script for the play!
Except any time Kumon stumbled over a line, the stumble is in there, or if he acted stiff, the stage directions might say to do that. And there are parts where it seems very unclear which character is talking or how many characters there even are, because Kumon was acting all the parts.]
You might have to edit it a little. But it could help/
[oh! hugging back, but you didn't have to wait for touch week to ask for a hug. they're a statue, but it's still kind of nice. like hugging a friendly tree.]

[And so he will perform, miming all of the character's actions and doing his best to play all the roles.
It's a little silly because he's standing in specific places for each character, to clearly indicate who he's talking to and who he is at the moment.
His acting isn't terrible, but it's a little bit stiff, especially for any role that isn't Akiyama.]

It's a sport! It's one of the best sports ever- [And then he takes another 20 minutes to explain what baseball is.]

That really does help me understand the play better, yeah. Okay, I can probably try to get you your script.

[ It's not perfect, but it's here and he appreciates that.
And so he goes up to hug then for a little bit. Touch week and all. ]
