Hehe. Sorry, Rin.
The second it caught my eye at the store, I was sure that it'd do with your outfit.

Mizuki
But hearing that you caught a cold was a pretty big shock. I mean, if it were Ena instead of you, I wouldn't be surprised considering her lifestyle...
Mizuki
Great!
I never see you here this late, so I'm actually pretty glad that you came, Mafuyu.

Mizuki
Whenever I need some time to think of when something's bothering me, I usually end up here...
Mafuyu
My mom and I were looking at some photos of me when I was little, and it made my chest hurt...
Mizuki
That album you have there might give us a hint as to why you felt what you did, right? Which is why we should see what you saw.

That looks so cool!
Oh that's right, you did mention that you were in the archery club.

Mafuyu
That was taken during a prefectural tournament where we took second place, I think...
Mizuki
Yeah. I mean, this little girl looks so happy while eating her birthday cake. Like turning five is the best thing ever.
Mafuyu
(Does that mean my past self holds the answer to why I feel the way I do when I listen to Kanade's song...?)

But you don't have to rush like this. Why not go home and get some rest? We can try this again when you feel better!
Rin
Also, Mizuki, how did you make that connection when you saw that picture of Mafuyu when she was little...?
Mizuki
I'm pretty good at figuring out what someone's thinking just based on their expression.

Mizuki
Although, I've taken it a little too far in the past, so I try not to do it too much...
Mizuki
People don't always say what they mean because they want to hide something from others, right?
Mizuki
But it's easy for me to figure out what's underneath that façade by taking a closer look.
Rin
No, I have no idea what you're talking about. You just cramp my style when you act all mopey around me...
Mizuki
Some people aren't able to show their real selves to others, while some wander in the dark as they struggle to find their real selves.
