...
Was that...?
Oh, there he is!
Hey, KAITO!
Hello.
What do you all want...?
Nothing big...
We only just met and haven't had a chance to introduce ourselves to you, right?
So, we'd like to take this opportunity to do that♪
...
I don't think he believes us...
Umm...
We really are here just to say hi...
*Sigh*
Fine.
But I'm going to stop listening if I get bored.
So, you're okay with us doing this...?
Alright, it doesn't look like he's not going anywhere, why don't we dive right in?
Okay, I'll start us off.
My name is Kanade Yoisaki.
Ena Shinonome...
And I'm Mizuki Akiyama!
We make songs together as part of the same music group...
Oh, that reminds me. Kanade can do this really cool thing where she measures time in her head super accurately up to like five minutes!
I-Is it really that cool...?
Also, Ena loves shopping the snot out of her selfies♪
Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
Snot? That didn't seem necessary...
...
(When they talk like this, they seem like ordinary people...)
Apparently, they all wished to “disappear” at one point or another...
Which is why they understand how Mafuyu feels.
How do you all feel about her...?
What...?
Her? Do you mean Mafuyu?
Who else would I be talking about?
Is there a reason why you're so prickly?
You could be a little...
Okay, let's all just calm down!
He did stay and allow us to introduce ourselves...
Um...
I'm not sure if this will answer your question, KAITO...
But my goal is to save Mafuyu...
Even though she clearly fears change...?
You were there when I spoke to her.
She has no intention of fighting back against her mother.
No, that's not true... At least, I don't think so...
However, getting Mafuyu's mom to understand is going to be incredibly difficult...
Yeah...
I see...
(Still, fighting back directly seems like the simplest solution...)
I told her no...!
I said that I didn't want to give up music!
But...! She didn't care...
What else can I do at this point...?!
(I need to think of a different way to get her to open up...)
Anyway, is that all...?
Huh? Um, yes... We've introduced ourselves, so if you have any questions for us, KAITO...
Bye...
Hey, wait...!
Haha... Later, KAITO!
You were watching...?
Yes, but I couldn't quite hear what you were all talking about...
Now that you've had a chance to actually talk to them, what do you think? They're an interesting bunch, no?
Hard to say...
Oh?
Then, I'll be looking forward to seeing how your opinion of them changes as time progresses.
