Emu refused to let the stage that brought so much joy disappear. • Forming Wonderlands x Showtime: Desperate to save the stage, she scouted for performers. She found Tsukasa Tenma (who wanted to be a star), Nene Kusanagi (a talented but reclusive robot operator), and Rui Kamishiro (a brilliant but eccentric inventor). Together, they formed the troupe Wonderlands x Showtime. • The Sekai: Emu's Sekai is a bright, colorful stage filled with balloons, floating islands, and fantastical elements. It is a manifestation of her desire to create a place where everyone can smile.
