I'm heeere!
You're both so early!
11

Ena

Listen

Mizuki, don't just run off like that so suddenly.
12

Kanade

Listen

You came together?
13

Mizuki

Listen

Nah, we just bumped into each other on the way here. I'm utterly flabbergasted that Ena didn't oversleep today...
14

Ena

Listen

Are you trying to say that I'm always late?
15

Mizuki

Listen

Anyway, let's go to that doll exhibit!!

Ena

Listen

Wow. This is a pretty big venue.
I thought it'd be a lot smaller.
17

Kanade

Listen

Yeah, I'm surprised.
This place is very impressive.
18

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa...! The dolls are so cute!
Look! This one even has furry ears!
19

Mizuki

Listen

How do you even make puff sleeves so tiny?! Hang on, this dress would look perfect on Kanade!　
20

Kanade

Listen

Me...?
21

Ena

Listen

Pipe down, Mizuki. We don't need a running commentary on everything you see, okay?
22

Mizuki

Listen

Yes, ma'am! As you wish!
23

Ena

Listen

For crying out loud...
24

Kanade

Listen

They're amazing... Each doll has its own world.
25

Mafuyu

Listen

World...?
26

Kanade

Listen

Yes. You can tell what sort of world they live in just by looking at them.
27

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh...
28

Kanade

Listen

Umm...
29

Ena

Listen

What's wrong, Kanade?
30

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu's expression changed slightly just now.
31

Ena

Listen

Did it? Looked the same to me.
32

Ena

Listen

Anyway, hurry up and let's keep going.
33

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...

Kanade

Listen

(Why did she have that look on her face just now?)
35

Kanade

Listen

(I need to understand her feelings better, as well as what's on her mind.)
36

Kanade

Listen

But how...?

37

Ena

Listen

Why does this doll look so lifelike...? Is it its complexion?
38

Mizuki

Listen

Hm, looks like a lot of work went into the eyes too. The way they sparkle when the light hits them...
39

Ena

Listen

Hey, I found more by the same artist over there.
40

Mizuki

Listen

Let's go see! Oh, there's a shop here too! I'll go take a look inside later♪
41

Kanade

Listen

Is there anything that catches your eye, Mafuyu...?
42

Mafuyu

Listen

Not really.
43

Kanade

Listen

I see.
44

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm going to use the restroom.
45

Kanade

Listen

Oh, okay...
46

Mafuyu

Listen

...?
47

Mafuyu

Listen

(There are dolls over here too.)

Mafuyu

(But this doll looks different...)
49

Mafuyu

Listen

(Oh... It's being held up by strings.)
50

Mafuyu

Listen

(So, it's a marionette?)
51

Mafuyu

Listen

(Hmm... Why does this doll seem so...?)
52

???

You're such a good girl.
53

Mafuyu

Listen

Gasp!
54

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu's taking a long time. Is she okay?
55

Kanade

Listen

The restroom should be that way... Huh?
56

Mafuyu

Listen

Huff... Huff...
57

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu...?!
