Mafuyu

Listen

Run...?

Mafuyu

Listen

But... How...?

Mizuki

Listen

I'm sure it's hard to get your head around right now since you might not be ready yet.

Mizuki

Listen

But I just want you to keep that in mind.

Mizuki

Listen

When you find yourself backed into a corner, you still have the option to run.

Mafuyu

Listen

...

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, your cram school's supposed to end soon...

Mizuki

Listen

We should go, Mafuyu.

Mafuyu

Listen

...
Okay...

Mizuki

Listen

I guess we have to say bye here.
Get home safe, okay?

Mafuyu

Listen

Mizuki...?

Mizuki

Listen

Hm? What's up?

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you for inviting me today...

Mafuyu

Listen

It was nice to see you again...

Mizuki

Listen

Um, Mafuyu?

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...?

Mizuki

Listen

Even after you get home, you probably won't be able to take your mind off things...

Mizuki

Listen

But we'll always be on your side.
So...

Mizuki

Listen

All of us in N25... We'll always be waiting for you in SEKAI!

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you...

A few hours later

Mizuki

Over here, you two!

Kanade

Listen

Mizuki...
What's going on? You asked us to meet sort of out of the blue.

Ena

Listen

Did you come up with a good idea for Mafuyu?

Mizuki

Listen

Haha. Sorry, I know this is really sudden.

Mizuki

Listen

But there's something I need to tell you two...

Ena

Listen

Tell us?

Mizuki

Listen

I just saw Mafuyu and let her know that it's okay for her to run.

Kanade & Ena

Listen

What...?

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Ena

Listen

You told Mafuyu about all that...?

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah...
And I'm really sorry about going to talk to her without asking you guys first.

Mizuki

Listen

But I felt that I needed to tell her.
Before her spirit breaks...

Kanade & Ena

Listen

...

Mizuki

Listen

So, because I went ahead and did what I did, I thought I should tell you two what happened...

Kanade

Listen

It's okay for her to run...

Kanade

Listen

Thank you, Mizuki...

Kanade

Listen

I agree that Mafuyu should keep that option in mind considering her current state.

Ena

Listen

Yeah. As much as I want her to directly fight back, I guess she should have some contingencies ready if she doesn't think she can...

Ena

Listen

Nice work, Mizuki.

Mizuki

Listen

Oh...

Kanade

Listen

If Mafuyu does decide to run, she'll always be welcome to stay at my house...

Ena

Listen

Same here. She won't be able to stay forever, but I'll try asking my mom about this...

Mizuki

Listen

You two...

Mizuki

Listen

Thanks.

Mizuki

Listen

There's no way of telling what's gonna happen to Mafuyu moving forward...

Mizuki

Listen

But I wanna do everything I can.
For her sake...

Kanade & Ena

Listen

Agreed!

Luka

Listen

Hehe.
Looks like they know what to do now.

???

Listen

What is it with you and sneaking around like this...?

Sound Effect: Play

Luka

Listen

Oh? That sounds a bit odd considering how you're sitting next to me right now.

Luka

Listen

You were also curious about what they were doing here, no?

KAITO

Listen

So what...?

KAITO

Listen

Still, running away...

Luka

Listen

Oh, does that bother you?

KAITO

Listen

It's better than standing around and doing nothing.

KAITO

Listen

And I want her to have as many options as possible right now.

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I agree.

Luka

Listen

I'm looking forward to seeing how their solution is going to affect Mafuyu moving forward.

Mizuki

Listen

(I was worried that Mafuyu's situation had gotten so bad that we wouldn't be able to do anything to help her...)

Mizuki

Listen

(But I got a chance to tell her how I feel. I managed to say, “It's okay to run.”)

Mizuki

Listen

(I'm really grateful for that opportunity...)

Mizuki

Listen

(But how she proceeds is up to her...)

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Mizuki

Listen

(Still, if she does choose to run, that's gonna be on me...)

Mizuki

Listen

(I'm honestly a little scared about her doing that, but I also wanna do everything I can to help her...)

Mizuki

Listen

(So Mafuyu can just be herself...)
