"Thank you."
⟐ Mafuyu's message:
"I was able to talk to my dad."
⟐ Mizuki:
Huh...
⟐ Mafuyu's message:
"He understood my feelings."
⟐ Mizuki:
Ah...
⟐ Mizuki:
(...Mafuyu talked about it.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(She must have been terrified at the thought of being rejected.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(But she still faced her feelings and her dad——)
⟐ Mizuki:
(.........I want to move forward too.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(...I've been running away, always running——
That's how I ended up here.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(Relying on Ena's words as an excuse...)
⟐ Mizuki:
But——
⟐ Mizuki:
(I want to talk about it...)
⟐ Mizuki:
(For once, I want to face things properly.)
⟐ Mizuki:
——Yes.
⟐ Mizuki:
(If I talk, the first person should be Ena.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(She's been waiting for me all this time.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(...First, I should ask her when we can meet next——)
⟐ ???
——Weird.
⟐ Mizuki:
...!
⟐ Mizuki:
...I don't want to run away.
⟐ Mizuki:
I don't want to run away anymore...!
⟐ Mizuki:
Ah...
⟐ Mizuki:
(My hands are shaking... I can't type properly...)
⟐ Mizuki:
(...Calm down.
If I type slowly, it'll be fine——)
⟐ Mizuki:
...Alright.
⟐ Mizuki:
(Now all that's left is to send it.)
⟐ Mizuki:
(Once I send it——)
⟐ ???
Huh...?
Ah... is that how it is?
⟐ Mizuki:
...!
⟐ ???
That person is hard to deal with, huh?
⟐ ???
They're just putting on an act, right?
⟐ ???
Maybe they just want attention.
⟐ Mizuki:
That's not it... I just...
⟐ ???
Maybe it's all just a misunderstanding.
⟐ ???
Ahh... sounds rough.
⟐ ???
I heard it's common to go through phases like that when you're young.
⟐ Mizuki:
..................
⟐ Mizuki:
(...Ena... everyone...)
⟐ Mizuki:
(They wouldn't reject me...)
⟐ Mizuki:
(Everyone's kind... they understand what it's like to be hurt...)
⟐ Mizuki:
(That's what I believe, but————)
== A few days later ==
== The Empty SEKAI ==
⟐ Kanade:
...Well, it looks like we can keep working on the demo as is.
Shall we call it a day?
⟐ Ena:
Yeah.
...Ahh, my shoulders are stiff. I think I'll stretch before going to bed.
⟐ Mafuyu:
...That sounds like a good idea. You don't seem to exercise much.
