<I don't know much about art...>

<I can't help you there... But seeing you tells me that what you're going through is a lot harder than I realize.>

<But this also isn't like you, Ena...>

What...?

<The Ena I know wouldn't be questioning whether or not you belong or whatever. She'd keep drawing no matter what.>

Oh...

Am I really that much of a musclehead...?

Still, you're right...
I have to keep drawing if I wanna get better.

<You have to keep drawing...>

<Oh...>

<Then, Ena...
Um... Wanna try drawing us?>

Wait, you guys...?

<Y-Yeah. Remember how you were able to figure out something when you drew Mafuyu that one time?>

<So, I thought you drawing us might help you in the same way.>

Len...

Hehe. Thanks.
Then, I'll try doing a quick sketch of you two.

<Okay, great...!>

So, where should we do this?
Would SEKAI be best if you two are gonna model for me?

<In that case, why don't we go over there...?>

Over where?

<Oh, right...
That could be really good practice for Ena...!>

Wait, where is this place you guys are talking about? I'm still totally in the dark.

<You'll know once you get here.>

<We'll be waiting for you in SEKAI...!>

Whoa, what is this place...?
Has it always been here?

It's a new area that appeared the other day.

Yeah.

You said how you always have trouble drawing water that one time, so we thought it might be good practice.

Oh...

Now that you mention it, I did tell you guys that.

Then, I'll do my sketch here.
I agree that it'll be good practice since it feels pretty strange and mysterious.

Would you guys mind placing yourselves a little closer to the water for me? Feel free to pose however you like.

How ever we like? That doesn't really help.

Hmm... Then, sit for me!

O-Okay...!

(Still, this place is giving off some strange vibes...)

(I mean, it just appeared out of thin air?)

(At the same time...)

(A lot has been going through Mafuyu's mind after what happened with her mom...)

(This place appearing probably means she's feeling something different now.)

Is something wrong, Ena...?

Nothing's wrong.
More importantly, stay still!

It's your fault for keeping us waiting.

I'm drawing, I'm drawing.

Huh...?

Do you guys hear that...?

Huh...?

Isn't this one of Kanade's songs...?
It sounds like it's coming from the lake...

Oh, right...
That's been happening every now and again.

Wait, so it's really coming from within the lake? But why? How's that possible...?

Unless something's down there.
Maybe a music player...?

Hang on...

Inside the lake—

Ena, it isn't safe for you to walk in.

I know. But...

I could've sworn that I just saw one of my drawings down there just now.

One of your drawings...?
I don't see anything.

It was only for a split second. It looked like...

I'm gonna see if I can...

Grab...it...

Nope. I can't seem to grab a hold of anything...

Hmm... I swear I saw it.
Or it was just my imagination.

What was it a drawing of?

Huh? Uhh... It was my sketch of Mafuyu...

Oh, the one you drew when she went over to stay at your house that one time?

Yeah, that's it.
But there's no reason for it to be floating around inside this lake...

...

What if it's because your sketch has some sort of special place in Mafuyu's heart?

What...?

This lake was born out of Mafuyu's feelings.

Seeing your sketch may've had some sort of effect on her. That might be why you're seeing it floating around now.

My sketch had an effect on her...?

This SEKAI really is strange.

(I was so sure that I had to keep getting better because I still didn't have what it takes. I thought I needed to give my future more thought...)

(But if my sketch managed to find a way into Mafuyu's heart...)

(If my art had a real effect on her...)

(Then, that means my art has the ability to reach others...)

(If that's true...)

Then, I need to keep improving little by little...
