It's time.

*Nod*

Let's go.

<We're here...>

Welcome, you three.

<Hi. Hehe...

That felt a little strange, since we're always the ones welcoming you.>

Since you're here, please make yourselves at home.

<Okay. It's nice to spend time together like this...>

<Len, we're not here to hang out with her.>

<Our job is to keep an eye on Kanade to make sure she gets plenty of rest.>

<R-Right...

Sorry, I promise to do my job.>

Haha...

I need to leave for school soon.

Keep an eye on Kanade for me, you three.

<We will.>

<Have fun at school, Mafuyu.>

Have fun.

I will...

<Have you had breakfast yet, Kanade?>

Oh, yes. Mafuyu and I just had breakfast before you all came.

<In that case, go to bed. You're not allowed to get up unless you need to use the bathroom or get a snack, or a drink of water.>

Huh? Wait, did Mafuyu tell you to say that?

<Mizuki and Ena did.>

<Yeah, they want you to rest as much as possible right now...>

Oh...

Okay, I'll rest as much as I can today.

I'm in my bed now...

<Are you feeling cold at all, Kanade?>

No, I feel very warm.

<Do you think you'll be able to fall asleep...?>

*Nod*

Once I close my eyes...

<Get plenty of rest...

Try to forget that we're even here.>

Okay, I will.

No, wait...

<Is something wrong...?>

Oh, umm...

I just remembered Mafuyu's story from when she was little.

If I can recreate the experience of being nursed back to health, maybe I'll be able to feel the same warmth that...

<No more thinking about that. Go to sleep.>

Haha...

Okay...

...

<What is it?>

This feels a bit strange, is all...

The fact that you're all so worried about me that you're willing to scold me like this.

<Of course we're worried. So, go to sleep.>

*Nod*

I'll try falling asleep now.

Thank you two as well, Miku, Len.

Good night.

<Good night.>

<What do we do now?>

<I'm staying here until Mafuyu gets back.

You two can return without me.>

<We'll stay here with you.>

<Okay.>
