Stick in the needle, pull down and...

Yes, very good.
Next, you need to get the needle back out.

Okay...!

In, out... In, out...

Oh, Grandma, look!
My bunny has a whisker now...!

Look at that! And what a whisker it is.

Hehe...

Oh, I think I'll give this to Shii if it turns out okay.

Hehe. She loves rabbits, so I'm sure she'll love it.

You think so? Then, I'm going to make the cutest bunny I can for her!

(Oh, my bunny's ears are slowly coming together...)

(Hehe. This pink thread's so cute...
I hope Shii likes what I'm making for her...)

(I want to show her as soon as I can.)

(Oh, but I don't want it to get crooked. I need to go slow and steady...)

(So that Shii will smile and say that it's cute...)

Hehe...

Is something wrong, Grandma?

No, I just noticed how much you're smiling.

Are you enjoying embroidering?

Yes! Making the lines is fun, and my chest feels so warm for some reason...

I see. Then, that means you and I are peas in a pod, aren't we?

We are...? Oh...

(She felt this same warmth...?)

(I'm still getting used to this...)

(But I think I really like spending time embroidering...)

I remember Shii being so happy when I gave her the bunny handkerchief I made for her...

After that, I fell even more in love with embroidery.

I see. That's such a beautiful story.

Hehe. Thank you.

Even now, I'm reminded of the things my grandmother told me whenever I'm embroidering something.

That the time you take and the thoughts you put into each stitch for someone are very precious things...

Also, that having people we care about enough to want to make gifts for them is such a blessing.

That's why I enjoy embroidering things for others so much, and treasure every minute of it.

...

I see. I never thought about it like that...

Oh, but these are just my personal beliefs...

Some people simply enjoy crafting beautiful objects, while others enjoy the quiet time spent focusing. We're all allowed to enjoy embroidery however we like.

Including you, Asahina.
My hope is that you'll get to freely express yourself through embroidery.

Yes, thank you.
I'll try to discover what I enjoy the most about the activity.

Wonderful...!

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk for so long.

No, I really appreciate you telling me that story about when you were little. Anyway, let's get back to work, shall we?

...

(We're all allowed to enjoy embroidery however we like...)

(I do sort of understand the appeal of working on something like this in peace...)

(And using my own two hands to make something is somewhat soothing...)
