We're back.

We're back...

I know we talked about having dinner once we returned, but it's still a little early...

How hungry are you, Mafuyu?

Not all that much.

We did just go to that cafe with Mizuki.

True, and I'm not very hungry either.

So, let's have dinner a little later, shall we?

Okay.

In that case, can I go over to SEKAI?

To SEKAI?

Yes. I'd like to take over the souvenirs I bought for everyone.

Right. Then, I'll go with you.

Oh...

Miku, there you are.

Oh...

Did you just get back from Ena's dad's exhibit?

Yes, we just returned.

And I came to give you these.

These are... Cards?

Postcards.

There's enough for everyone, so please take any that you like.

Thank you...

I'll let the others know later so we can choose together.

Oh, is this one of his paintings?

Yes. We actually saw it in person earlier today.

I see...

It's beautiful...

But also a little sad for some reason...

Oh, the theme was “Deep in the Night”, so many of the paintings there were rather dark...

“Deep in the Night”...? I see...

This painting...

Oh, this painting is called “A Peony Blooming in the Night.”

“A Peony Blooming in the Night”...?

Do you like it?

Yes. The other paintings were also nice...

But this one seems a little different...

Like some special feelings went into it...

You feel that way too, Miku?

Huh?

We thought the same thing.

This painting felt different for some reason.

You too, Mafuyu?

*Nod*

When I saw this painting, I initially felt warmth...

But also a tremendous amount of pain.

A sort of deep despair and internal struggle...

Yes...

I also saw pain hidden within this painting.

But there's also light.

Light...?

Yes.

So, this flower... I have to think it means quite a lot to Ena's dad.

I agree.

This painting seems to encapsulate a wide range of feelings.

I don't know what those feelings are exactly...

But I'm glad I got to see it.

*Nod*

Me too.
