Yukihira
Is that sense of excitement and feeling of awe what you were truly after, Shinonome?
Ena
(Wait, I want to grow as an artist...
What if I drew something that represented me trying to break out of my shell?)

(It's definitely not worse than what I drew the other day, and it goes with the theme...)
Ena
(I can't pinpoint what it is... But it's like the person that I drew isn't actually me...)
Ena
(But the only thing that seems to stick out is “me”. The arms and legs don't look off-kilter or anything...)
Ena
(Knowing that my foundational skills are lacking and getting told that my drawings are bad... Am I starting to believe that there's no way I'll ever make it as an artist?)

Kanade
<Have you all started working? The new demo's ready, so I'd like for us to meet in SEKAI.>
Ena
What...?! Is it already time?
But I still haven't drawn anything I feel good about yet...

Ena
I guess I should head over to SEKAI for now. A better idea might pop into my head while talking to the others.

Mafuyu
She said that I should if I had nothing to hide, and she never actually looked until now...
Mizuki
After she learned that you were doing something that she wasn't aware of, she decided to secretly play detective...

Mafuyu
No. I made sure to keep Nightcord and any song files hidden, so I doubt she found anything about all of you...
Ena
Why can't you just tell her to not look? She might be your mother, but she has no right to just rummage through your computer without your permission.
Ena
Seriously, weren't you bothered by what happened? This is usually when you have to put your foot down.
Mizuki
I get that it's gonna be hard, but you really should say something if it's actually bothering you...
Ena
(From where I'm standing, despite trying to suppress her feelings, Mafuyu looks visibly shaken by what happened.)
Ena
(Doing as her parents say without bothering to speak up about what's on her mind... Isn't that just going to make her suffer even more...?)
The next day

Ena
I've given it a lot of thought since then... But I'm still struggling to come up with a good idea.
Ena
(Ideally, I want it to be something that involves me breaking out of my shell as an artist...)
Ena
(But this is getting me nowhere.
I guess I should go back to thinking about what I actually want to convey.)

Ugh, this is the worst. The forecast didn't say anything about it raining today! You better head back home now too, Mafuyu!
Ena
You're gonna get soaked!
How do you think I'm gonna feel if you end up catching a cold!
