(I wonder what Mafuyu's doing...)

Is she really gonna tell her dad how she feels...?

Huh...?

Talking like this isn't going to solve anything. I'm going to...

B-But...

What are you doing?

Oh, Rin!

S-So...
KAITO wants to go see how Mafuyu's doing...

What's wrong with that?
We might have a problem on our hands here.

Which is why I need to go.
What if this is a repeat of when she ran away from home?

Y-Yeah, I get how you feel...

But she might not be feeling well...
You, uhh... You might scare her...

Again, what's wrong with that?
Getting her to move forward is our job.

...

Then, let me take care of this situation.

What...?

Mafuyu... She probably wants to move forward, but doesn't know how.

I want to be there for her this time.

You think you can handle this?

Yeah, I do.

If no progress has been made by the time her dad visits next, then I'll be going over.

Fine.

U-Umm...

Thanks, Rin...
For stopping KAITO...

I just didn't want him getting in the way of Mafuyu trying to sort out her feelings.

I see...

Oh, then, would it be bad for me to go see her...?

I don't think so.
Unlike KAITO, you're actually willing to listen to what she has to say.

Right now, I think Mafuyu needs someone by her side who'll understand what she's going through.

Oh, then... I think I'll go see her.

Yeah, considering what I said to KAITO, I wouldn't mind going with you.

...!
Okay, let's go!

(Oh, it's raining again...)

(But no more thunder... I hope.)

Rin? Len...?
What brings you two here?

<Uhh... Nothing in particular...
We just wanted to talk...>

I see...

There's no thunder today.

<Oh...>

<Thunder...?>

A thunderstorm just happened to roll by the other day, which scared Rin a little.

<I wasn't scared. Just surprised...>

<U-Umm...
What was that like...?>

<Every time the sky flashed, it was followed by a deafening boom that made the ground shake.>

<R-Really...?>

<You would've been startled too, Len...>

<Yeah... If they scared you that much, Rin, I'm glad I wasn't there...>

<Again, I wasn't scared.>

<Huh? Oh, right... Sorry...
You were just a little surprised, right?>

<Still, if it was that big a thunderstorm, then I don't think you need to feel so embarrassed...>

<I'm not embarrassed!>
