Empty SEKAI

Oh...?

2
Character icon
Luka

Hehe. I wonder what they're doing sitting together like that.

3
Character icon
Luka

But they don't seem to be talking or anything...

4
Character icon
Luka

I haven't really had a chance to talk to them yet either, have I?

5
Character icon
Luka

Hello, Mafuyu, Miku.

6
Character icon
Miku

Oh, Luka.

7
Character icon
Luka

Would it be okay if I joined you?

8
Character icon
Mafuyu

Sure...

9
Character icon
Luka

Thank you. If you don't mind...

10
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

11
Character icon
Miku

...

12
Character icon
Luka

There's something I'd like to ask you, Mafuyu. Do you know why I appeared in this SEKAI all the sudden...?

13
Character icon
Mafuyu

...?

14
Character icon
Mafuyu

Miku said something about me changing...

15
Character icon
Luka

Hehe. Then you do know.

16
Character icon
Luka

You, the one whose feelings created this SEKAI, have been changing, and is being reflected here in certain ways.

17
Character icon
Luka

As a result, we are able to exist here alongside Miku.

18
Character icon
Luka

So, Mafuyu, do you sense or feel anything when you talk to me like this?

19
Character icon
Mafuyu

What do I feel?

20
Character icon
Luka

Yes.

21
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

22
Character icon
Luka

It doesn't have to be me either. Miku, MEIKO and Rin too. How do you feel?

23
Character icon
Mafuyu

I feel...

24
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

25
Character icon
Luka

Hmm...

26
Character icon
Luka

You tried to think about it but hesitated there for a moment.

27
Character icon
Mafuyu

But I...

28
Character icon
Luka

No, I saw it just now.

29
Character icon
Mafuyu

You're like Ena...

30
Character icon
Luka

In what way?

31
Character icon
Mafuyu

You say that I do things that I don't realize I'm doing...

32
Character icon
Luka

Oh? And how do you feel about that?

33
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

34
Character icon
Luka

You think I'm annoying, obnoxious and someone you want nothing to do with, no? See, you are feeling something.

35
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

36
Character icon
Mafuyu

I take that back. I think you're more like Kanade...

37
Character icon
Luka

Really? How's that?

38
Character icon
Mafuyu

Because of the way you explained what I might be feeling and why.

39
Character icon
Luka

Yes, I see...

40
Character icon
Miku

Did you figure out something...?

41
Character icon
Luka

Not really. Just that she really just doesn't know.

42
Character icon
Luka

(Miku mentioned that MEIKO was wandering around here as if she were looking for something...)

43
Character icon
Luka

(That may be because Mafuyu hasn't been able to process what she's feeling quite yet.)

44
Character icon
Luka

Um, Mafuyu...

45
Character icon
Mafuyu

Yes?

46
Character icon
Luka

This SEKAI is no longer empty...

47
Character icon
Luka

But this SEKAI itself is not all that different from how it originally was. It's still dark, quite and populated by a countable number of people...

48
Character icon
Luka

What do you suppose this means?

49
Character icon
Mafuyu

What that means...?

50
Character icon
Luka

A SEKAI is supposed to reflect how a person is feeling. There has to be a reason as to why this place is the way it is.

51
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

52
Character icon
Mafuyu

I don't know what that is...

How would I possibly know such a thing...?

53
Character icon
Luka

And that's okay for the time being.

54
Character icon
Luka

However, I will very likely keep asking you these questions.

55
Character icon
Luka

That's why if something bothers you or catches your attention, I want you to try to remember and focus on that.

56
Character icon
Luka

(Because as long as you don't, nothing will actually change.)

57
Character icon
Mafuyu

Okay...

58
Character icon
Luka

Good.

Thank you, Mafuyu.

59
Character icon
Luka

And thank you for giving me this opportunity as well, Miku.

60
Character icon
Miku

Of course...

61
Character icon
Luka

Okay, then I'll see you later...
