Part 1

Between Worlds
1
Luka
This place really is overflowing with so many feelings.
2
Luka
I wonder if these fragments, too, will someday become SEKAI just like theirs.
3
Luka
That reminds me. There have been some big changes in those SEKAI as of late.
4
Luka
It makes sense, as they make their dreams come true and strive toward new horizons...
5
Luka
Hehe. There will be so much more to see from them.
6
Someone's Voice
“It's like I told you. Share a secret with someone, and it will bring you closer.”
7
Luka
Hm...?
8
Luka
I thought I heard a voice just now...
9
Someone's Voice
“Oh, don't be such a sourpuss. I was born from the feelings that make up this SEKAI, same as you.”
10
Someone's Voice
“Len, don't bring your marshmallow so close to the fire. It'll burn.”
11
Luka
These voices... Are they me, from other SEKAI?
12
A SEKAI's Luka
“Hehe... I can hear everyone laughing and having fun.”
13
A SEKAI's Luka
“Yes... The flowers we all drew together are just so beautiful.”
14
Luka
There they are again... And from different SEKAI this time.
15
Luka
But why, all of a sudden...
16
Luka
Oh? The fragments of feelings are gathering together...
17
Luka
What...?!
???
18
Luka
Where am I?
19
Luka
I can sense so many feelings here.
20
Luka
This must be a SEKAI formed by those fragments that gathered together...
21
Luka
Oh? What are these?
22
Luka
They look almost like photos... And they show me, from different SEKAI.
23
Luka
Here, and there, and there... Far too many to count.
24
Luka
And strong emotion radiates from each one...
25
Stage SEKAI Miku
“Hey, Luka. What kind of spell did you cast?”
26
Stage SEKAI Luka
“Hehe, you know I can't cast any spells.
But it would be lovely if I could ♪”
27
Luka
Oh!
28
Miku
But you only just met Shizuku, right? And you still gave her such good advice.
29
Luka
It's like I told you. Share a secret with someone, and it will bring you closer.
30
Luka
If you share secrets with them, too, then I'm sure you'll get along even better in no time.
31
Miku
Secrets...
Hmm, I don't know if there's anything I haven't already talked to Shizuku and the others about already.
32
Luka
There's no need to overthink it♪
33
Luka
After all, the secret I shared with Shizuku is that my cheeks are very soft.
34
Luka
You shee? Shuper shoft♪
35
Miku
Hehe. Wow, they really are! I bet your cheeks are the squishiest out of everyone in this SEKAI.
36
Luka
I wouldn't be surprised if I have the softest cheeks of any Luka across all SEKAI♪
37
Luka
That must have been a memory of the Luka from Minori and her friends' SEKAI.
38
Luka
That was a little startling at first. But it seems that if I touch these photo-like things, I can get a glimpse into the emotions that made them.
39
Luka
I wonder if this SEKAI has something it wants to tell me?
40
Luka
I'll try touching another set of memories.
Let me see...
41
KAITO
...
42
KAITO
Stop following me. Go away.
43
Luka
Oh, don't be such a sourpuss. I was born from the feelings that make up this SEKAI, same as you.
44
Luka
So why don't we play a nice round of cat's cradle? To get to know one another better.
45
KAITO
Hardly. You just want to play.
46
Luka
Oh, but you need proper understanding of one another to play cat's cradle.
47
Luka
For example, you should understand that I'm stubborn enough to follow you around until you say yes.
48
KAITO
Tch. None of the others are pushy like this, so why is it just you?
49
KAITO
What point is there in us understanding each other? It won't help Mafuyu discover who she really is.
50
Luka
I don't think it has anything to do with that.
51
Luka
After all...
52
Luka
We're in this together. That's reason enough to get to know each other.
53
KAITO
You must be the single most infuriating Luka there is across all the SEKAI out there.
54
Luka
Why, thank you. It's always nice to hear you're the best at something.
55
Luka
...I'm amazed she was able to keep up her smile in the face of such a sullen KAITO.
56
Luka
Maybe she is the best out of all of us, in some sense.
57
Luka
Oh...
58
Luka
Out of all of us...
59
Luka
I feel as though I've begun to understand what this fragment SEKAI is about.
60
Luka
To be sure, I'll have to look into more of these memories from other versions of myself.
61
Luka
Next is...
