Which SEKAI should I take a look at today...?
I have to say that one again...
Kanade and the others still aren't here...
Mizuki stopped by a second ago to see how many forks and paper plates we had left.
But we're all out, so they have to go buy more...
I see...
Umm...
Where are MEIKO and KAITO...?
Oh, I already told MEIKO that they'll be bringing a cake over...
I told KAITO...
But he just ignored me.
If they don't want to come, then that's their loss. It means we get to have their slices.
True...
It sounds like they're going to have some cake with Kanade and the others. Are they waiting for them to arrive right now...?
The MEIKO and KAITO in that SEKAI really do seem to prefer being alone...
But I'm so glad that the me of that SEKAI isn't all by herself anymore.
Since she really was alone when it first appeared.
Back then, she spent most of her time just sitting and staring off into space...
She looked happy whenever Mafuyu came to visit, but it usually meant Mafuyu was in pain.
So that SEKAI's me was probably feeling a complex mix of emotions.
She was caught in a pickle. She wanted Mafuyu to visit, but didn't at the same time...
Then, Kanade and the others came over...
Rin arrived next, because of a shift in that SEKAI's feelings...
Followed by MEIKO and Luka...
Hehe. That reminds me of the time the four of them played cat's cradle together.
They seemed to have so much fun that I wished I could play with them.
And I still see them playing cat's cradle from time to time. I have to think that it's become one of their favorite games.
Oh, then Len arrived...
Our Len was so surprised by how different they were from each other.
On the other hand, Rin thought that SEKAI's version of him was kind of cute.
Still, I don't think any of us were expecting KAITO to surprise us more than when Len arrived...
I was honestly a little afraid of him initially...
But Mafuyu took a hard look at her own needs because of him.
Overall, I'm glad that they're all there now.
I mean, the feelings and emotions that Mafuyu and the others are carrying are too much for SEKAI me to handle all on her own...
All I can do is watch over them...
But I hope that someday, the feelings of our SEKAI selves will connect with theirs and bring about something beautiful.

Huh...? Is someone singing...?
But who...?
I don't know...
But it feels warm for some reason...
