Ena's friend A

Hey, Ena. Did you decide what you want to do yet?

Junior High School Ena

Listen

No, but I think I'll try for a fine arts school.
3

Ena's friend B

Oh, right. You're always saying that you want to become an artist.
4

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Yeah. My dad's an artist too, and his art's what always made me want to draw so...
5

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I want to become an even better artist than him, and thought I should learn as much as I can as soon as possible.
6

Ena's friend A

That's great! Maybe I should get your autograph now while I still can.
7

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Really? Now? Well, just you wait!
I'm definitely gonna be famous one day!
8

Junior High School Ena

Listen

So only these two high schools have fine arts programs... This one focuses on the fundamentals, but this one let's you learn from an actual pro...
9

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Learn the basics or learn from a pro. My fundamentals should be pretty good, but I live with a pro too so...
10

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I wonder which would be better.
I'll ask dad. He might know.
11

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Hey, Dad.
12

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I want to go to a school with a fine arts program but can't decide between these two. They both sound really great but...
13

Dad

Listen

Fine arts?
14

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Yeah. I want to be an artist so...
15

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I thought I should learn as much as I can right now...
16

Dad

Listen

I wouldn't bother.
17

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Huh?
18

Dad

Listen

You don't have the talent to become an artist.
19

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Wh-What are you saying?!
You're joking, right?
That's not funny, you know?
20

Dad

Listen

I'm not joking.
You don't have any talent.
21

Junior High School Ena

Listen

But there's no way that's true. I've been drawing since I was little and even got special prizes in middle school for my art...
22

Dad

Listen

Yes, I know. But there are countless others hoping to do the same thing.
23

Dad

Listen

Unless you can win the grand prize at a big contest, then no one will recognize you.
24

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Why...?
25

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Why are you saying this now?
You never did until this point.
26

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I'm serious about this, but you just...!
27

Dad

Listen

Ena...
28

Dad

Listen

You won't be able to become the kind of artist you're envisioning.
29

Dad

Listen

If you had talent with the resolve to match, then things may be different...
30

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Wh-What do you mean...?
31

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Was everything I did until now just a complete waste of time then?!
32

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I don't have any talent, so it doesn't matter how hard I work?!
33

Dad

Listen

Yes...
The world I live in works just as you say.
34

Dad

Listen

No doors will open for you as you are now.
35

Junior High School Ena

Listen

...!
36

Junior High School Ena

Listen

You have no right to decide that...!
37

Junior High School Ena

Listen

It's my future, so stay out of it!!
38

Dad

Listen

...
39

Junior High School Ena

Listen

I get that you're not gonna be of any help now...! I'll become an even greater artist than you on my own!

Ena

Listen

(And I couldn't even get into the school I wanted to go to and nobody gave me a second thought...)
41

Ena

Listen

(The people listening to N25, the judges form the contest, even him...)
42

Ena

Listen

(I have no talent. I knew that even before I sent in my submission to that contest.)
43

Ena

Listen

(But the others... They said they need my art...)
44

Ena

Listen

(Which is why I can't give up just yet.)

Listen

It blew up into a huge piece and...
Wait, it's night already?
No wonder I'm tired...
48

Ena

Listen

I should apologize to Akito about what I said yesterday too, but he's probably asleep now.
49

Ena

Listen

I guess I can show everyone what I made and go to bed after that too.

Ena

<Yeah, and your song sort of shined a light on my heart when I heard it so I tried including that as part of it.>

<This is awesome! The rays of light piercing through the clouds are sooo pretty too!>
58

Ena

<Hehe. I worked pretty hard on that and spent a lot of time getting it right.>
59

Ena

Listen

<So... How is it, K?>
60

Kanade

Listen

<Yeah... It's incredible.>
61

Kanade

Listen

<So this is how you saw my song then.>

<I'm happy it turned out like this...>

<How about you, Yuki?>

Ena

<You know there's no point. She'll just criticize it and move on.>

Yawn... Huh? It's morning already?
I guess I passed out from exhaustion.

I need to apologize to Akito.

He should still be home so...

A-Akito... Good morning.

Akito

Listen

Morning.
80

Ena

Listen

Um, I'm sorry about yesterday.
Lashing out at you like that...
81

Akito

Listen

Nah, forget about it.
It's not any different from usual.
82

Ena

Listen

Hold on, it was not the same as always!
83

Akito

Listen

Okay, okay. Calm down, will you?
84

Ena

Listen

Oh, but I decided to keep drawing too...
85

Ena

Listen

Well, a lot happened and...
86

Akito

Listen

I see.
Then good luck.
87

Akito

Listen

Oh, I talked to dad about it too.
88

Ena

Listen

Huh?
89

Akito

Listen

He isn't trying to be mean or anything. He was worried about you, but not expressing it in the best way is all.
90

Akito

Listen

I don't like how he said what he did either, so Ena...

Ena

Listen

Sorry, I'm heading back to my room now...

What...?

The light shining through the rain clouds contrast well against the darkness.

Dad

Listen

This girl's worries seem like they're about to vanish as well.
101

Ena

Listen

B-But...
102

Dad

Listen

But your choice of colors is a bit off. You came up with a good design, but the colors are out of balance.

Huh?!

Wait, hey...!

What was that?! And that jab at the end!

But now that he mentioned it, the colors do seem sort of unbalanced...
