Empty SEKAI

Kanade
Let's see... Miku and the others should be...
2
Miku
Oh, Kanade, welcome...
3
Kanade
Miku, Luka, perfect.
I was just hoping to ask you both a question.
4
Miku
A question?
5
Luka
Oh, what would you like to ask us?
6
Kanade
Has anything been on either of your minds lately?
7
Luka
Has anything been on our minds?
8
Kanade
Yes, for example... Have your shoulders been sore? Maybe you're not sleeping as well as you usually do...
9
Miku
I'm not sure, but I don't think any of us have sore shoulders...
10
Kanade
I see...
Then, what are your favorite foods?
11
Miku
I'm happy with anything that you and the others bring over to SEKAI...
12
Miku
But why do you ask?
13
Kanade
Uhh... So...
14
Luka
Are you in the middle of choosing gifts for White Day?
15
Kanade
Huh? Oh...
16
Kanade
How did you know, Luka?
17
Luka
Hehe. Mostly based on the time of year. Also, you were being very suspicious.
18
Kanade
R-Really...?
19
Miku
Does this mean you're getting gifts for us?
20
Kanade
Yes, I am.
I've been doing research by asking how everyone's been doing.
21
Miku
Research?
22
Kanade
So, I've been having a lot of trouble deciding what to get everyone. So, I've been asking these questions to find gifts that you'll all be genuinely happy to receive.
23
Miku
I see...
24
Luka
So, do you already know what you're going to get everyone else?
25
Kanade
No, not yet.
26
Miku
Oh, really?
27
Kanade
Yes. I've asked them if anything has been on their minds lately...
28
Kanade
But for example, I don't know what to get someone whose shoulders have been feeling a bit sore...
29
Miku
Umm... Some medicine?
30
Kanade
Oh, what about a compress? Or a massage ball? They'd get to enjoy that for much longer...
31
Kanade
Bath salts might also be nice.
A kind that helps improve blood circulation...
32
Miku
That does sound nice. And warm...
33
Luka
All of those seem like fun gift ideas.
34
Kanade
Really? Thank you.
35
Luka
Yes, I'd like to see how everyone reacts when they see that you gave them a compress.
36
Kanade
Oh, right... I guess that would be a bit odd...
37
Luka
Hehe. I'm just kidding.
But it seems like you've already given this quite a bit of thought. You're still undecided?
38
Kanade
I've thought of a lot of ideas, but I haven't settled on any yet...
39
Kanade
I was really hoping that asking everyone would help me decide.
40
Luka
Yes, I see.
41
Luka
Then, I think the rest comes down to how you feel.
42
Kanade
What?
43
Luka
If you're still torn between a couple of options after giving these gifts as much thought as you have, on top of going through the trouble of learning how everyone's doing...
44
Luka
Then, all that's left is for you to go off gut feeling.
45
Miku
Yes, I agree.
46
Miku
How do you want them to feel, Kanade?
47
Kanade
How do I want them to feel...?
48
Kanade
(They're all working really hard.)
49
Kanade
(So, I want them to feel...)
50
Kanade
(I want to give them a chance to relax. To take a breath...)
51
Miku
Kanade...?
52
Kanade
Thank you both very much.
I know what to do now.
53
Luka
Really?
That's wonderful.
54
Miku
I hope they enjoy what you get them.
55
Kanade
Me too.

Ichika
<Hello? Kanade? Is something the matter?>
57
Kanade
I'm sorry for calling you at this hour, Hoshino, but I wanted to let you know that I've made my decision.
58
Ichika
<You have? That's great...!>
59
Ichika
<So, what are you getting everyone?>
60
Kanade
I'm going to...
