Um, Rin...

Could you teach me how to play two-person cat's cradle?

What? Why?

You see... I promised Mafuyu I would play with her. But I'm not any good at two-person cat's cradle...

If you can't do it, don't promise to play.

B-But Mafuyu looked like she was in pain, so I had to say something...

Oh, I know. Would you come with me?

I think that would help Mafuyu—

You promised her, not me.

I don't have anything to do with this.

But...

......

Practice.

Huh?

I'll help you practice at least.

But you're the one who made the promise with Mafuyu. So it's your responsibility.

Okay!

I'll do my best to get better.

Thanks, Rin.

Hehe.

The me in this SEKAI can be a little blunt, but she really is kind.

(And she sure is cute when she blushes, too♪)

Okay, next is...

Ah, there's the band me♪

...

How'd they turn out, Rin?

Super hyper ultra max perfect♪

Woohoo!

Everyone, look! Rin did my nails and they're super, uh... They came out perfect!

You forgot what she said aside from the “perfect” part, huh.

I'm interested in the super hyper ultra max part. How did you come up with that?

Every word you add makes it sound so much cooler. That's just a fact♪

You really are good at painting nails, Rin. They always come out so smooth and glossy.

Heh heh heh. There's a trick, you know♪

Let me know when you want your nails redone! I'll do them anytime♪

Thanks so much for this, Rin! Now I won't have to worry about the polish cracking while we're performing.

Right?

And you get to look so stylish, too! Two birds, one stone!

She looked so focused when she was painting Saki's nails.

It really came through how much she wanted to help Saki practice without any worries.

That's support that only she can give them, after all♪

There's also the me who works with DJ Len...

Ah, there she is!

That SEKAI's me looks so confident in this picture.

Oh, I remember this! MEIKO was out, so she was working the kitchen instead!

An can be surprisingly careless sometimes, forgetting her handkerchief like this.

And also... Hehehe.

She really liked my cooking, too. I did think it turned out well, but I'm happy she enjoyed it!

Maybe I have a talent for it? Maybe I could open my own branch cafe here in SEKAI!

Hmhmhm♪ Lalala♪

♪————————————!!

...!

(Th-This is the real Taiga...?)

There's so much I wanted to tell you...

You were supposed to meet Kohane...! And Akito and Toya...! You were supposed to tell me I'd found the best team ever...!

And you were supposed to see the moment we did it...! When we surpassed RAD WEEKEND...!

You were supposed to do all of that...!

(An...)

Ah! An?!

Hey there.

Covering for MEIKO again?

Y-Yeah!

(She's smiling, but she doesn't seem happy.)

(I can understand why. The person she was so looking forward to meeting is gone, after all...)

(She must be forcing herself to smile, so we don't worry about her.)

(I can't let her effort go to waste.

Act normal! Smile! Smile!)

Could I get a milk tea?

A bit on the sweet side, please.

Coming right up!

Here you go!

Your milk tea with extra honey.

Thanks.

Huh? Rin...?

D-Don't worry about it.

It's just, I'm so proud of how that milk tea turned out, I want to see you drink it from up close...

(No! I can't cry!)

(An made up her mind to move on, and is doing her best to smile!)

(But I can't stop myself...!)

Rin...

...Mm. It's delicious.

Very sweet... And very warm.

I see... So that happened between those two.

That's very much like the me from that SEKAI. Her kindness really does warm your heart.

Thank you all for letting me share in these beautiful memories.

I've been watching over you all...

But I'm sure there are many more wonderful memories that I don't know anything about.

It really is so heartening, knowing our SEKAI selves are able to support them from up close.

Thank you.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being there for them.

Oh, I'm back.

I wanted to look around a little longer...

But I'm so happy I got to see some new memories I'd never known about.

Oh, I know! Maybe this feeling will reach everyone if I put it into a song.

Here goes!
