Oh, nice! The lake of mystery's right where I left it!
Man, I still can't get over how strange this place is!
(I came here for no real reason, but I felt like it now that things have settled down with Mafuyu.)
(Also, I still have a ton of questions about this part of SEKAI...)
(I can't stop thinking about it.)
Your sketch of Mafuyu...!
I've seen pics of it before, but never the original.
Wow, it was really inside the lake.
And it isn't even wet...
How does that work...?
(We talked about how a bunch of stuff might be hidden in this lake.)
(But if I had a SEKAI like this, I wonder what would it be like?)
Actually, no... Let's not go there... Mhm...
Hey, you two! I let myself in!
Oh, hello.
What are you doing here...?
I came to hang out!
Were you two taking a walk?
Yes... We've been coming here on occasion.
How's Mafuyu doing, Mizuki?
Mafuyu? We went to a diner the other day together. She's more or less back to normal.
She is?
She wasn't in pain?
Well...
She wasn't in as much pain as before...
Thank goodness...
Being with all of you does seem to make her feel better.
Hehe. If that's true, then I couldn't be happier!
How about you, Mizuki...?
Hm? What about me?
You had a serious look on your face just now... Is something bothering you?
Huh? No, you've got it all wrong!
I was just thinking about something and...
What were you thinking about...?
So, I was thinking about what my SEKAI would be like if I had one. This lake would probably be filled with cute clothes and stuff, right?
They usually shrink and wrinkle after you try to dry them out, but everything from this lake has been bone dry for some reason.
I mean, how fun would that be? Just the thought of it really excited me.
Oh, is that what was on your mind...?
Hehe. What else would you expect of me?
Also, that reminds me!
How many of Kanade's songs have you heard coming from this lake?
I don't know, but many...
Yeah, she said she heard more when she was with Mafuyu. And then...
So warm...
Len mentioned how Mafuyu said she felt warm inside when she heard one of these songs...
Really...? So, if we wait long enough, then we should also get to hear that song.
I don't know, but would you like to wait for it together...?
Oh, you wanna?
Yeah, I'd rather not be all by myself, so let's sit and wait together♪ Criss-cross applesauce!
Why do we have to sit like that...?
Dunno, just felt like it.
C'mon, you two! Sit with me!
Okay, fine...
