Miku...

Oh, Mafuyu.
Welcome.

What brings you here today...?

We're supposed to check in with each other about our progress here today, so I decided to come early.

I see.
Can we wait for the others to arrive together...?

Okay.

Mafuyu...
You met the girl who wrote those lyrics, yes?

Yes.

Did you feel anything then...?

Not really.
We talked about songwriting, some other meaningless things and that was it.

I see...

Oh, but...

...?

It snowed on our way home.

Snow?

Do you not know what snow is, Miku?

No, I do.
The white and fluffy things that are cold and disappear when you touch them.

But I didn't know that it's gotten that cold in your world already, Mafuyu...

It is, but... I guess it's hard to tell when seasons change when you're here.

That evening, after I'd met the girl who wrote those lyrics, it snowed for the first time this year in our city.

Anyway, that's all that happened...

...

By the way... Did you happen to feel something when you saw it snow, Mafuyu?

Huh...?

You didn't actually tell me much about the girl who wrote those lyrics when I asked...

But you spontaneously spoke about how it snowed on your way home, so I was wondering if that made you feel anything.

...

Yes, I see...
Actually...

Your chest felt warm...?

Yes...

You may be right, Miku. I think I did feel something...

But feeling warmth doesn't seem right. Snow is something that's cold and it was chilly outside.

My username in English even means “snow”, but I didn't really mean anything else by it. And yet...

Yes, it's very strange.

(Will I feel the same thing when I see snow...?)

Um, Mafuyu...
I'd like to see some real snow.

Huh?

Sure... But I can't make it snow right now. Also, it doesn't snow much where we live.

That's okay. I'll wait.

Okay...
But I wouldn't expect too much.

Yes.
