Ena
I know that I have to keep drawing, but every time I do, I become so overwhelmed with pain that my mind goes blank...

More importantly, I'm so sorry.
I keep getting stuck after promising to get this thing done...

Kanade
Also... Sorry, but we had Mizuki tell us more about the art class you've been attending.
Kanade
I feel awful for not realizing that you think you need to get better to catch up to us...

Ena
But my body can't handle it...
Every time I go, I start shaking because I'm so scared of going to that class.

Ena
I can't do what the others can do and I know I'm never going to receive positive criticism. More than anything, I can't forgive myself for letting this all happen...
Ena
But I want to keep drawing...
I want to prevent being left behind by N25 at all costs...

Kanade
It may be true that drawing illustrations for N25 won't necessarily give you opportunities to learn anything new or improve your skills.
Kanade
But in my opinion, your art has improved compared to when we first met. It's clear that you're always looking for the best way to illustrate the music Mafuyu and I make.

Mizuki
I've recently been catching myself thinking just how much I like what you draw, Ena. You have this way of conveying so many different feelings all at once.
Mafuyu
But I remember being confused by your old illustrations in terms of what you were trying to express because of how you used odd colors and bent lines.
Kanade
I know this is a lot to process...
But I don't want you to think that these past two years were a complete waste.

Ena
(After that... We met for the first time in SEKAI, I did terribly in that contest and became almost incurably depressed...)
Mizuki
I mean, look. We're up to this many now because Kanade keeps churning out new songs.
Kanade
Sorry. I can't help myself since I'm still determined to compose a song that can save people...
Mizuki
I really like what you drew for some of our old stuff! It's kinda rough, but it gives it that sort of edge, you know?
Mizuki
Oh, this one too!
Remember how you had some trouble coming up with ideas and we ended up making it together?

Ena
Yeah, I redrew it so many times because I didn't know which motifs to go with and it took forever to finish.
Rin
Yeah. As much as I like your old illustrations, I like your recent ones more. Your weird choice of colors is like an expression of who you are, Ena.
Rin
But if you really felt like running away, I doubt you would've drawn all these things.
Ena
(I don't know... No, I ran away for two years... That's just the cold, hard truth...)
Rin
...!
