(I wonder if she's listening to me sing right now...?)

♪————...

Oh.

Oh...

Uh, sorry... I didn't mean to bother you...

You're fine.

Do you need something...?

No, it's just...

I heard you singing and decided to move closer so I can hear better...

Okay?

Um, Rin? Is it me or have you changed your singing style a little...?

I think it's just you... Why do you ask?

So... Lately, when I've been hearing you sing, your voice has had this warmth to it.

I-I'm not saying that it wasn't warm before! It's just... It's more obvious now, you know...?

It is...?

Yeah...

I really like it...

Um, Rin?

What do you think I should do in order to sing like you?

What you should do...?

Was there really no inspiration for you changing your singing?

Inspiration...?

Rin...?

Your cheeks seem really red for some reason.

You're imagining things...

More importantly, Len...

How would you feel after meeting someone who's you, but not you?

What?

Are you talking about that other Rin you met? The one you said was all shiny and cheerful?

How would you feel if you met another you with a completely different personality?

I dunno... Surprised, I guess?

But I'd want to learn more about him, so it'd be great if we could talk...

Even if he tried to get really up close and personal while grinning the entire time?

Oh...

Hang on, Rin... Did you feel embarrassed when you spoke to your other self?

...

A little...

I see...

If she made even you feel shy, I'm not sure if I'd be able to have a real conversation with my other self...

But...

But...?

I'd still want to talk to him because I'd want to learn more about who he is.

Really...?

Um, good for you?

Still, Rin...

What made you want to talk about her?

I felt like it.

Wait, so... Is the inspiration behind your singing voice sounding warmer now that you got to meet your other self?

Who knows? I can't really tell what's changed if anything has.

B-But I figured you told me all about this other Rin because you thought that she—

Pipe down now...

That's enough talking.

(But I guess I don't mind at all if my voice sounds warmer.)
