...

*Sigh*

No one's here. I'm so bored...

(Kanade and the others are probably busy working on their song.)

(I don't actually know how much of it's done, but I wish they'd let me listen to it...)

*Sigh*

I guess I could go find Miku and play some cat's cradle with her...

Huh? Ena...?

(When did she get here...?

I probably didn't notice because I was wandering around...)

Ena...

...!

Is that you, Rin...?

Yeah, it's me.

Can you not surprise me like that?

Ugh... This line's in the wrong spot now...

Is that a sketchbook...?

Are you drawing something?

Yeah, I decided to go traditional for a change.

...

(But her drawing...

It looks like a mess.)

(I can sort of tell what it is...)

(And yet, I have no idea what she's trying to convey.)

It's a total mess, right...?

But I feel like I need to draw something... Anything... So I kept drawing and erasing this thing over and over again...

Ena...

I have to keep drawing...

I'm making Kanade and the others wait on me...

...

I'm not sure what's going on with you, but did something happen?

Oh...

Sorry. I haven't told you yet, huh...?

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to...

No, I kinda want you to hear.

I'm going to this art class for a few days to actually learn more about art...

But everyone there is so much better than me, and I haven't been able to draw what comes to mind at all...

Is that why you're so frustrated...?

Yeah, pretty much...

(This doesn't seem like the full story...)

(But I've never seen her so down...

I should probably leave her alone...)

...

Why don't you just take a break from drawing since it's bothering you so much...?

I have nothing else to do, so we can play cat's cradle or something.

I mean...

Thanks, Rin...

But...

I have to keep drawing...

Okay...

I understand.

I hope you draw something good...

Me too...

...

Rin...?

What's the matter? You seem concerned.

I just went over to see Ena...

She seemed sad...

I thought about asking her more about how she's feeling, but decided against it... I didn't want to be too much of a bother...

I see...

Would you like to play cat's cradle with me?

Why?

Because you seem sad too.

...

Okay...

(Still...)

(What's going on with Ena...?)
