(Her singing's improved quite a lot...)
(Maybe meeting our other selves in that strange SEKAI had a greater effect on her than I realized.)
Thank you for being such a strong source of support for the others.
All we can do is watch over them, but I can see that they're in good hands!
Based on what I've seen watching you all this time, it's obvious to me that they need you.
You don't always have to put what you feel into words. They feel better just knowing that you're there for them.
(Just as how Rin and I play different roles here, that other me must also have a unique role in all of this.)
(All she can do is watch over the others.)
(In the sense that we both watch others from a distance, we sort of play similar roles.)
(However, the big difference between her and us is that we can directly interact with the person whose feelings gave birth to this place at any time.)
(Still, I don't plan on doing that any time soon...)
Hm...?
...
(She noticed me...
I was wondering why she stopped singing.)
(I don't want to interrupt her, so I should probably move further away and...)
MEIKO, wait.
You were listening to me practice just now, right...?
Can you sing with me again like you did earlier?
Earlier...?

This is how I'm singing it now...

Well...
I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but you could try doing something like this...

Oh...
I like it...
Lemme try that.

...!
That was really good.
I couldn't figure that part out when I was working on it on my own...
How did you learn to sing like that, MEIKO...?
So...
I thought about this while singing just now.
I thought about who I want to support.
Oh...
Not just my feeling of wanting to support someone, but also who and with what words...
And about how I'd like those words to affect them.
How those words will affect them...?
You know what I'm talking about, right, Rin?
Oh...
I think that's how I felt when I sang for Ena...
Thanks, MEIKO...
I'll keep that in mind while I try.
...
You don't always have to put what you feel into words. They feel better just knowing that you're there for them.
MEIKO...?
I'll sing with you...
What?
I'm already involved now.
Also, I should probably try something new for a change...
MEIKO...
*Nod*
Yeah, I want you to sing with me.
Thanks, MEIKO...
You're welcome.
