Thank you...

I'm sure it's just a cold, so I should be all better soon.

*Sigh*

How can someone say they're not after almost falling over like that? I mean, honestly...

Well, maybe it's related to how she doesn't know how things taste and stuff?

Oh...

You may be right there...

But she's been coming here whenever she feels pain or is bothered, right?

Yes...

So instead of simply not knowing, it may be more accurate to say that she has a hard time understanding or difficulty feeling, no?

Yeah, but that also seems like a separate issue...

Right... Also, today included, what's she gonna do about school tomorrow?

You're not saying she's just gonna go, are you?

I think she will...

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, you're both probably right...

*Sigh*

And I'd be more than happy to not have to go to school...

Wait a minute. Does this mean she's one of those people that goes to school knowing that they're sick and spreads whatever they have to everyone else?

Oh? Do you have some experience with that, Ena?

No way.

Still, Mafuyu's probably built up a lot of stamina because of the club she's in, so there might actually be a chance that she'll be better come tomorrow morning, you know?

Sure, but...

When she's with us, she's just herself, but when she's around other people, she has to be the honor student that they expect her to be.

Anyway, what are we doing today...?

Weren't we gonna talk about why you wrote this song the way you did, Kanade, before we started working on lyrics and the video for it...?

That can wait for when we're all present. For now, we'll call our meeting off early.

Please, you two, be mindful of your health.

Haha. You're telling us that?

Yeah, Kanade, you really need to learn to sleep in your bed and not at your desk or on the floor.

Real sleep too. Not dozing off while you work, okay?

Huh? O-Okay...

(She doesn't sound okay with that...)

Anyway, Miku, Luka, we'll see you later...

Okay.

Yes, come back whenever you like.

Okay, I'm back...

But there's nothing for me to do, so I guess I'll just go to bed.

(I wonder if Mafuyu's already asleep...)

Actually, there's a real chance that she's still up doing homework or something.

I'm sure of it...

(I'll send her a message.)

(But I don't want her coming back at me with, Your chat notification woke me up, or anything.)

Geez, why am I getting all worked up about this? Am I really that worried about her?

Okay, forget it.

It's time for bed.
