Listen

*Sigh*

Ena

Listen

I got an earful again today...
But I should jot down what Mr. Yukihira said while it's all still fresh in my head.

Ena

Listen

He didn't say much about my composition today, but he did point out a lot about my lack of accuracy.

Ena

Listen

So I guess I can feel happy about the overall composition of my drawing.

Ena

Listen

Oh, what's this...?
It's from Kanade.

Sound Effect: Play

Ena

Listen

She's done working on that demo she told us about the other day? I'm guessing this means we're all gonna head over to SEKAI to listen to it...

Ena

Listen

Let's see... We're meeting at...
<Mizuki has work, so I'd like for us to meet in three hours or so.>

Sound Effect: Play

Ena

Listen

Hmm... There isn't much N25 stuff for me to work on at the moment, so I guess I could draw something for practice to review what we did today.

Ena

Listen

Alright!

Empty SEKAI

Lake

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Ena

Listen

In terms of composition... Yeah, this looks like a good spot.

Ena

Listen

There's time until we have to meet, so I'll just try to draw what I can.

Sound Effect: Play

Ena

Listen

Come to think of it, this lake never has any waves. Is it because there's no wind?

Ena

Listen

I bet it'd look really pretty if there were reflections of the sky or some mountains on the surface.

Ena

Listen

To be fair, that'd be really hard to draw.
But so is this since it isn't like a real lake.

Ena

Listen

Oh, but I can't just go for something superficial...

Ena

Listen

I have to capture this place's atmosphere. I need to show what it feels like here...

Rin

Listen

(I could've sworn that someone came over to SEKAI just now... Was I imagining things...?)

Rin

(It's not like I have anything else to do, so I guess I'll draw something...)

Rin

Listen

Oh...

Rin

...

Ena

Listen

Phew...

Ena

Listen

This is coming along pretty nicely.
All that's left is...

Sound Effect: Play

Ena

Listen

Whoa...!

Ena

Listen

Oh, Rin, it's you...
You suddenly sneaking up next to me like that made me jump.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Rin

Listen

I didn't just suddenly appear...
I was drawing over there until now.

Ena

Listen

Wait, you were just over there...?
Why didn't you say something?

Rin

Because you seemed really focused.

Rin

Listen

More importantly, I wanna see what you were drawing.

Ena

Listen

Okay, but it's still a work in progress.
Here, take a look.

Rin

...

Ena

Listen

Those steel beam things are so hard to draw. Not only is getting the texture right a pain, but so is the depth.

Rin

Wow...

Ena

Listen

Huh?

Rin

I don't really know much about drawing, nor do I know what's hard to draw... But...

Rin

Listen

This lake feels so gentle...
I kinda like it...

Rin

Is something wrong?

Ena

Listen

I feel like I should be asking you that...
You're being really honest today for some reason.

Rin

Listen

Are you saying that I'm usually grouchier?

Ena

Listen

I didn't say that...
I was thrown a little off guard is all...

Rin

...

Rin

Listen

It's this drawing...

Rin

I think it made me want to speak more openly...

Ena

Listen

What...?

Rin

Listen

For example, this line...
It looks like you drew and redrew it because you weren't happy with how it looked.

Rin

While this curved line looked like it was gently and carefully drawn...

Rin

It's clear that you put a lot of effort into this, Ena.

Rin

Listen

I think that's why it made me want to say something positive...

Ena

Listen

If it made you feel that way, Rin, then I guess it really does have that effect...

Ena

Listen

So, thanks.

Rin

You're welcome.

Ena

Listen

Anyway, what's the time?
I'm supposed to meet Kanade and the others here.

Rin

Listen

You are?

Ena

Listen

Remember that demo we all listened to the other day? No, wait... You and Miku haven't heard it yet. You two were with Mafuyu that time, right?

Rin

We didn't that time, but Kanade let us listen to it a little while after...

Rin

Listen

I wanna hear what's changed, so I'll come with you.

Ena

Listen

Sure, why not?
I'm sure Kanade will want to hear as many different opinions as she can.

Ena

Listen

And it's just about time, so let's go look for them.

Rin

Listen

Okay...
