Kamiyama High School - Rooftop
1
Mizuki
Man, I'm beat.
Why do classes have to be so long?
2
Mizuki
But I'm glad I came to school today.
I wouldn't have been able to focus on anything if I stayed at home.
3
Mizuki
Also, I need to keep my attendance up.
4
Mizuki
Achoo...!
5
Mizuki
Brrr... I'm freezing.
It feels like winter.
6
Mizuki
But no one comes up here when it's cold out, so that's a plus.
7
Mizuki
(*Sigh*)
8
Mizuki
(Why did things have to turn out this way? How did I end up caring about everyone so much?)
9
Mizuki
(Everything would be so much easier if I just didn't.)
10
Mizuki
(I knew from the start that I shouldn't get too involved with anyone too...)
11
Mizuki
(I mean, considering everything that's happened already...)
12
???
Huh...?
Oh, really...?
13
???
They're kind of a pain to deal with.
14
???
It's all for show, right?
15
???
They just want attention.
16
???
Are we getting the wrong idea?
17
???
So weird...
18
Mizuki
(Every time, I was so sure that this person or that person would understand...)
19
Mizuki
(I know that not everyone's like that now. Everyone in N25 especially...)
20
Mizuki
(But things will change if I do speak up...)
21
Mizuki
(They're all really nice and will probably try to treat me no differently.)
22
Mizuki
(We'd work on stuff like normal and talk about whatever...)
23
Mizuki
(But that... Their kindness...)
24
Mizuki
(I wouldn't be able to bear it.)
25
Mizuki
*Sigh*
26
Mizuki
Would life be so much easier if everyone just vanished from this world?
27
Mizuki
But that's never going to happen...
28
Mizuki
It's like the complete opposite of the School Festival now. It's so empty and quiet...
29
Mizuki
Like SEKAI...
30
Mizuki
Huh...?
31
???
Mizuki!
32
Ena
Finally, I found you!
33
Mizuki
E-Ena...?
34
Mizuki
What are you doing here...?
35
Ena
To look for you.
I couldn't get a hold of you on Nightcord or your phone.
36
Ena
Do you know how tired I am now? I never would've figured out where you were if it weren't for Shiraishi.
37
Mizuki
Huh? You talked to An?
38
Ena
Yeah. I went to visit your class and ran into her, so I decided to ask if she knew where you were.
39
Mizuki
Y-You went to my class...?
40
Ena
I did. And...
41
Mizuki
S-Sorry about yesterday, Ena!
For ditching you like that!
42
Mizuki
You became worried based on how I was acting, right? I don't blame you.
43
Mizuki
But I'm okay now!
I must've been in a bad mood then and...
44
Ena
That's in the past now.
45
Mizuki
O-Okay...
46
Ena
Well, to be honest, it still bothers me but...
47
Ena
I'm here to talk to you about something else today.
48
Mizuki
Talk to me...?
49
Mizuki
(Wait, is this about...?)
50
Ena
So, Mizuki...
51
Mizuki
...!
