<Oh no. D-Does this mean we're lost...?>
<Calm down, Len.
But... What do we do...?>
I can use my phone to let Kanade and the others know...
Okay, I got a hold of them...
They said to wait and stay put.
<Thank goodness...
We should be fine now, Len.>
<Yeah...!>
Let's find a place that's easy to find and wait for them there...
<...>
<Aren't you scared of being all alone like this...?>
Not really...
<O-Okay...
That's amazing... I'm actually a little scared...>
Why are you so scared, Len...?
You're not actually alone right now.
<Yeah, I know...>
<I keep going back to when I arrived in SEKAI for the first time...>
When you arrived in SEKAI?
<Yeah... It was so big and empty...
And I was lost until Miku found me.>
<Just the thought of that still petrifies me a bit...>
...
That reminds me. When I was little...
Wow...!
Mafuyu, this amusement park's very crowded, so you need to promise not to stray too far from me.
Okay!
Thank you for bringing me here, Mommy!
(Everything's so sparkly...!
And everyone's smiling like they're really having fun!)
Oh, Mafuyu, look.
The churros from that shop are supposed to be very good. Shall we go try it out?
Okay!
There's quite a line...
Would you be okay with us waiting a little?
That's okay!
This park's so sparkly that I'm having fun just looking at everything!
Hehe. You're such a good girl, Mafuyu.
But you still need to promise to stay by my side.
I will!
(What should we go on after we get our churros...? The merry-go-round's really cute, but the fish coaster also looks fun.)
(Phenny's supposed to go for walks sometimes around the park too.)
(I wonder where he could be...)
*Gasp*
(It's Phenny! Oh, I wanna shake hands with him...!)
Here's your churro, Mafuyu.
Is plain okay?
Oh, plain's okay!
Also, Mommy, I just saw Phenny over there...
Just a minute.
Your father's calling me. What could this be about?
O-Okay...
(Oh no... Phenny's about to leave... If I don't go now, I might not get to shake hands with him...)
(But I have to stay close to Mommy...)
Um, Mommy...?
I'm sorry, Mafuyu. In a minute.
Oh, you'll be done with work early?
That means I'll need to start preparing dinner soon.
...
(Mommy's still talking on her phone.)
(I know I'm not supposed to...)
(But Phenny's right there, so maybe if I go for just a little bit...)
Hehe...
(I got to shake hands with Phenny...
Now I need to get back to where Mommy is!)
Huh?
Mommy was just right here...
Where'd she go?
(I don't see her... Uh oh...)
Mommy...?
Wh-What do I do...?
I'm lost... I have to find Mommy...
Oh, what's wrong?
Did you get separated from your mommy and daddy?
...!
You seem lost...
Can you tell me your name?
Um, Asahina...
(Wait, Mommy said that I'm not supposed to talk to any strangers...)
Um... I...
I-I'm sorry...!
Hey, wait...!
(Some strangers tried to talk to me... And everyone else is staring at me...)
(Was the merry-go-round always that big...? The horsies looked so much cuter before...)
(Now they look...scary.)
(The park stopped being sparkly too...
What's going on...?)
(I'm scared... I'm so scared...
Mommy... Where are you...?)
Mommy... Mommy...!
Mafuyu!
Thank goodness! I looked all over for you...!
Huh...?
M-Mommy...!
Mommy...
I was worried sick about you.
But I'm so glad I found you...
Are you okay, Mafuyu?
Are you hurt at all?
I'm okay...
Okay, that's good to hear...
I'm sorry, Mommy...
No, that's okay.
You being safe is all that matters.
Mommy...
However, Mafuyu, can I ask you one question?
Um, okay?
Why did you break our promise?
Huh...?
Didn't you say that you wouldn't leave my side? So why did you decide to run off like that?
I...
U-Uhh...
You disappearing like that absolutely terrified me, Mafuyu.
I was afraid that you'd become a “bad girl” that gives her mother grief...
...!
A bad girl...?
Yes, Mafuyu. The thought of you vanishing from right out under me made me so sad...
It made my heart sink... And made me so fearful...
Honestly...
Oh no...
I-I'm so sorry, Mommy...!
Please, don't cry... I... I...
I don't want to see you cry...
Mafuyu, you're so kind...
But I'd feel so much better if I knew that you'd be a “good girl” who listens to what her mother says...
Mommy...
I'm really sorry...
I promise to be a good girl...!
I promise to listen to what you say...!
Mafuyu...
Hehe. It's okay.
I feel much better now that I know you're going to be a good girl for me.
Anyway, let's head home for the day.
I need to start preparing dinner so that your father can come home at any time.
Okay... Huh...?!
M-Mommy...
That hurts... Please, don't pull...
Mommy...
My mom's hand felt so cold that time...
No, not just then...
Even now... She feels so cold...
(But why...?)
<Mafuyu...>
*Sob*
Mommy... Where are you...?
<Oh, she must be lost...>
<O-Oh no...! We have to help her...!>
Right... Oh, wait...
There you are!
Thank goodness... Are you hurt?
Mommy...!
No, I'm okay!
You must've been so scared, but you're safe now. Let's hold hands so you don't get lost again.
Okay!
...
I think she's okay now.
<Thank goodness...>
<You seem happy, Len.>
<Because she seemed so warm...>
Warm...?
<Y-Yeah. Her heart must've felt so cold when she was all alone...>
Len, you know what that feels like...?
<Because I...>
<I was like her too...
When I arrived in SEKAI, there was no one but me...>
<I tried looking for everyone, but I couldn't find any of them...>
<I felt so lonely...>
<Len...>
<But then, Miku found me...
And felt so warm when she took my hand.>
Why...?
<Because it felt like she was saying, “You're not alone”...>
<So I thought that little girl must've felt the same way.>
Not alone...
I won't go anywhere...
(I think I've felt the warmth he's talking about before...)
Mafuyu...!
...!
