[Rena watches the dream with anticipation, on the "edge of her seat" the whole time if you will. When the dream is over she sighs in relief, glad that Spain is all right in the end. Though, it does make her a big sad that they had to kill the bull.]

Wow...that was so amazing, Spain. Is doing that kind of thing common back home?

Oh, thanks, Rena! Well...It used to be more common, but we still have a fiesta once every year dedicated to la corrida de toros.

That sounds fun~! What exactly does "la corrida de toros" mean?

Well, it means a bullfight, but I guess it technically translates to 'the running of the bulls', because that's one of the first parts of the fiesta!

Ohhhhh. You mean you start out the fiesta with a lot of bulls running around?

Yep! The festival starts with a lot of bulls being released, and some people try to outrun them while they're being chased!

[He acts like this is the most normal thing in the world, yes.]

[Mean while, Rena is in shock/amazement]

W-wooaah! People actually do that? But bulls can run really fast!

[He laughs.]

Well, so can people when they're being chased!

...t-that is true.

It still seems a little dangerous, it does.

...I guess it is a little dangerous. I mean, people do get hurt sometimes, but..It's all part of the fiesta! It's traditional, and people seem to like it.

O-oh, I see. Well if people are used to it then I guess it's okay, I guess.

It does sound kind of exciting. What else happens at the fiesta?

Well, the biggest fiesta is the San Fermín festival. There's the encierro...Which is the actual running of the bulls, and the corridas and there's singing and dancing and things like that! It's one of my most popular fiestas, I think.

I can see why, it sounds like a lot of fun~! [Jokingly] It's a shame we couldn't get bulls for the fiesta we threw, right?

Normally I'd say it's too dangerous without the right precautions, but knowing all of the people in Somarium, some bulls probably wouldn't affect them much!

That is true! There sure are a lot of interesting and different people in Somarium.

There are! I've never seen so many different people before, but I think it's great! It's nice to be able to meet so many people!
