Do you really like her that much?

Watching that idol shining on the TV like that always made me smile...

Hi, Rin. It's been a while.
You're as energetic as ever.

That's easy!
I can see right through everything, you know!

Rin

Whether it's about you, everyone else who isn't here today, the weather tomorrow, even what you're going to have for dinner! I can see it all!

Airi

Listen

You're definitely making some of that up.

Rin

Listen

Oh, you got me! Hehehe♪

Airi

Listen

But...
I do feel a little better now.

Airi

Listen

I have something to ask you, Rin.

Rin

Me? What is it?
