Anyways, I should head back and find Mafuyu.
Okay.
...
MEIKO? Are you alone...?
No, someone else was here...
Mizuki was...
Mizuki was looking for Mafuyu, but left after I said she wasn't here.
I see...
Oh, okay...
...
Is something bothering you, MEIKO...?
Yes...
It seems like there's something else on Mizuki's mind.
Mizuki...?
That reminds me, you said you were interested in how the four of them were feeling.
Yes. Those three can freely enter and exit this SEKAI as well, even though it's based on Mafuyu's thoughts and feelings.
Those three must mean just that much to her. So much that she can't be without them...
That's sort of why I said that I'd like to observe and watch for the time being.
I understand that, but what is it that you're hoping to learn about them...?
What they want to do and why, I think...?
What they want to do and why?
Okay.
Mafuyu has slowly begun to change since she discovered what her true feelings are. Am I right, Miku...?
Yes...
And the other three, Kanade, Ena and Mizuki, were the ones that helped open that door for her...
Mafuyu meeting them has caused this SEKAI to slowly change.
Enough to make Rin and myself appear.
Yes, I see...
I came here when Ena needed help.
So, does this mean someone else needs our help again?
It's very likely.
Very likely...?
I'm not certain as to why I'm here or what I'm supposed to do...
And you want to learn what they want to do and why to figure that out...
Okay.
When Rin first came here, she also seemed somewhat lost and wasn't sure what she should be doing.
She's right.
How did you get through it...?
Huh? I... I met Miku and talked to her...
And I talked to Kanade and the others...
...
You seem doubtful...
I'm telling the truth.
Things may not be as clear as you'd like yet because Mafuyu may still have a few questions that haven't been answered.
Maybe...
...
(No, it's too soon to draw out any conclusions. I still need more information...)
I need to keep observing them...
...
Um, MEIKO?
...?
I understand why you're keeping Kanade and the others at arm's length, but are you planning on doing that with us too?
...
What would you like me to do, Rin?
I mean... Nevermind...
I think Rin wants to sing with you, MEIKO...
She does...?
When you said that you plan to keep your distance from everyone...
That ended up including us too, and she seemed a little sad about losing the chance to sing with you...
I see...
...
Come to think of it, I haven't heard the song that was born out of Mafuyu's true feelings yet.
As part of my observations, I should listen to... No, sing it...
...!
If that's what you want to do, fine.
Hehe. Let's all sing together, Rin, MEIKO.
Okay.
