Rin
Okay, my throat is all warmed up♪

Rin
Time to sing a lot again today!

???
————...
5
Rin
Hm?
I thought I heard someone call my name.
6
???
————...
7
Rin
Did it come from over there?
8
???
......n...
9
???
...in!
10
Rin
There it is again!
11
Rin
All the voices are different, and they're calling in different ways, but they all sound so familiar...
12
Rin
Oh! Maybe they're each calling the me from their SEKAI!
13
Rin
Wait, there's no way I could hear them so clearly when I'm not even watching the SEKAI.
14
Rin
Ack!
Oh, it's a fragment of a feeling. You startled me.
15
Rin
Huh? Over there, too?
16
Rin
Wow, they're all over the place!
Why are there so many gathered here?
17
Rin
Does it have anything to do with all those voices I heard?
18
Rin
I don't really know...
But let's see what happens when I touch these feelings.
???
19
Rin
W-Where am I?
20
Rin
This...
21
Rin
This is so cool!!!
22
Rin
Wow, it's like an art museum in here! What are all these cubes?
23
Rin
They look like they should fall over, but they're stuck together... Ah!
24
Rin
These look like photos, and they're all showing me from each different SEKAI!
25
Rin
Plus...
26
Rin
I knew it! I can feel their emotions!
27
Rin
So, all those fragments of feelings that were gathered up must be their feelings toward the version of me from each SEKAI!
28
Rin
I wonder how they feel...
29
Rin
If I touch these photos, maybe I'll be able to find out?
30
Rin
Hmm, which one should I touch?
31
Rin
Oh! Look how brightly the performer me is smiling here. I wonder why she's so happy!
32
Rin
I'll just have a quick little peek!
33
Nene
——Rin, do you have a minute?
34
Rin
Ah, Nene♪
What is it☆
35
Nene
Remember when you said, “you just need a big smile, and your voice will feel happier and you'll sparkle even more”?
36
Nene
...
37
Nene
I know I need more practice singing...
But would you mind helping me practice my smile, too?
38
Rin
Yeah☆
Leave it to me♪
39
Nene
Ah! Shhh!
I-I don't want the others to overhear...
40
Rin
Okay! It'll be our secret♪
41
Rin
Hey, how should we practice?
Want me to poke your cheeks again? Or should I tickle you and make you laugh?
42
Nene
Huh?! I thought you would just show me how you do it!
43
Rin
Hehe. Right, Nene asked that SEKAI's me for help with her smile, to sparkle brighter.
44
Rin
I see...
So they practiced in secret after that.
45
Rin
Performer me smiles so brightly that sometimes even I get dazzled.
46
Rin
With her smile to learn from, I bet everyone else will also be able to smile just as bright!
47
Rin
Ah! Speaking of sparkly smiles...
48
Rin
There she is! Idol me!
49
Rin
This shows the cake and marzipan dolls Airi made for us on Valentine's Day.
50
Rin
I'll just take a little peek in here, too♪
51
Airi
Now that the surprise is done, let's have some cake.
52
Rin
Wait, Airi!
I want to look at the dolls some more.
53
Rin
So, um... Could you and the others start with the slices that don't have any of them?
54
Airi
Sure, I don't mind...
55
Rin
Thank you...!
56
MEIKO
Rin seems really taken with those little marzipan figures.
57
Airi
Hehe. The highest praise an artist can receive!
58
Airi
Especially since Rin is always there for us. I'm happy to give back to her, even a little bit.
59
Rin
Oh, right! Even after the cake was all gone, idol me kept looking at those marzipan dolls.
60
Rin
She did finally end up mustering the courage to eat them...
61
Rin
But I totally understand why she wanted to just keep them forever!
62
Rin
Their outfits and expressions were so detailed, it looked like they might start singing and dancing right there!
63
Rin
I'm glad Airi was smiling so happily too!
64
Rin
Still... They look like ordinary photos, but when I touch them, everyone's feelings come rushing in.
65
Rin
I guess this really is a collection of feelings toward all the SEKAI versions of me.
66
Rin
I'm curious about some of these others... Maybe I'll look at a few more emotions.
67
Rin
Let's see, next is...
68
Rin
Okay! This one!
