Ena? Are you by yourself today...?

I came to take a quick break.

Are you also by yourself, MEIKO?

I'm usually by myself.

Now that you mention it, you like observing from afar, right?

“Like” isn't the word I'd use.

I simply feel that I need to in order to fulfill my role here.

Okay? But you haven't been as distant lately since you've been joining us when we gather.

Oh, don't take that as a hint to start being more distant. There are some things that we can only ask you about.

I'll listen if you think you need me...

But I'm guessing you don't right at this moment. So, I'll be going now.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Thanks for chatting with me.
