...
I'm bored...
How does Miku spend all her time here?
*Sigh*...
(Maybe Ena and the others will come here today...)
Are you sure?
You really can't draw unless someone appreciates your art?
...
(I wonder what kind of art Ena's been making after that.)
Hm? Oh, it's...
Hi, Rin...
You came again?
Should I have not?
No, I think you can come here whenever you like.
But what brings you here today?
I wanted to show you my drawing...
Your drawing?
Yeah. After that, I talked to Kanade and the others...
And I drew something with the song Kanade made for me in mind.
This is it...
Oh, you brought it here for me?
You sang that song for me too, so I thought I should show you.
Okay.
Oh...
Hehe. I didn't know that's how you smiled.
But I'm not...
Fine, fine. You can't fool me though...
But...
Hm?
I think your drawing is nice.
Hehe. Thanks... I couldn't have made it without you, Rin.
But I didn't do anything.
You were the one that refused to give up despite the pain you were feeling.
Rin...
A compliment like that might throw me off a little...
I wasn't really complimenting you. I was just saying what I thought was true.
What you thought was true, huh...? You even sound a little like her.
But you may be right, Rin.
Yes. And I hope you'll keep trying your best.
Okay, okay. I'm not gonna stop making songs with Kanade and the others anytime soon so...
...
(She'll keep making songs with them... From a different perspective, that could be seen as a sort of curse...)
(But for Ena, that may be a saving grace.)
(It's proof that the bond between Ena and the others are real...)
Hey, Rin...
Hm?
Are you gonna stay here in SEKAI?
...
If you want me to be here, I will.
What's that supposed to mean? You won't be here unless I ask you to?
I am pretty busy after all.
But you looked bored a second ago.
...
Well, I doubt I'll be asking too much of you, but I'd feel a lot better if you were here...
Plus, I'd feel bad if Miku kept on being alone here.
Oh? You're worried about Miku too?
Sure. She's been helping us too...
So... Try not to disappear on me like a certain someone just did with her friends, okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
