Side Story 1


Background Ena's Room (Night)
Unit 1 Ena's Room Unit 1
Ena (icon) Ena: No. The color's all wrong...
Ena (icon) Ena: (The clouds covering up the sky need to stand out more...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (And the sky needs to feel close but still unreachable. The rays of light should also be more transparent, but feel warm and bright...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (At this rate, I'll never be able to capture the melody Kanade came up with...!)
Ena (icon) Ena: I know what I want to draw, but I can't...
Ena (icon) Ena: A genius wouldn't have to stop and think about every step they take. They'd just find a way and finish...
Ena (icon) Ena: Ugh... No, I don't have time to think about that!
Ena (icon) Ena: ...
Ena (icon) Ena: No, it just isn't right...
Ena (icon) Ena: (Why? The more I draw, the further I get away from what I envisioned...)
Ena (icon) Ena: Sigh... And Kanade's song went like...
Ena (icon) Ena: ——♪ ——♪
Ena (icon) Ena: Huh? This melody seemed fine at first...
Ena (icon) Ena: But it felt different when I heard it in SEKAI for some reason...
Ena (icon) Ena: ——♪ ——♪
Ena (icon) Ena: It is different. This might be why I can't draw the way I want to...
Ena (icon) Ena: One more time... I have to remember exactly how I felt back there...
Kanade (icon) Kanade: N25 needs you, Ena. It needs your art.
Ena (icon) Ena: Kanade...
Ena (icon) Ena: (Right. Everyone's waiting for me...!
Ena (icon) Ena: (I have to keep drawing... No matter what, I have to keep trying!)
Rin 25 (icon) Rin: ——♪ ——♪
Ena (icon) Ena: ...!
Ena (icon) Ena: Oh, right... Like that...
Ena (icon) Ena: ——♪ ——♪
Ena (icon) Ena: Yes, this...!
Ena (icon) Ena: (I felt so lonely and it hurt so much that I felt like crying, but there was a certain warmth there...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (It felt like I was suffering, but being consoled by someone's kind words at the same time...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (Like this melody... Like someone was telling me that it's okay for me to be here...)
Ena (icon) Ena: ...
Ena (icon) Ena: Everyone, thank you...
Ena (icon) Ena: And thank you too, Rin...
Ena (icon) Ena: Alright, I have a much better idea of what I want to draw now!
Ena (icon) Ena: (This time I'll...)
Ena (icon) Ena: Huh? That sounded like it came from the hallway...
Ena (icon) Ena: A plastic bag? Oh...
Ena (icon) Ena: (It's the juice and cheesecake I usually get...)
Ena (icon) Ena: Oh, Akito. It's like you can read my mind sometimes...
Ena (icon) Ena: Wait, the receipt's in here too...! So... He wants me to pay him back?!
Ena (icon) Ena: I didn't even ask him to get me these. Doesn't that mean this is a gift?
Ena (icon) Ena: ...
Ena (icon) Ena: (Well, I'll graciously accept his gratitude today.)
Ena (icon) Ena: Now, I have a solid image in my head, so it's time to finish this thing off! Right after a midnight snack...

Side Story 2


Background Ena's Room (Evening)
Unit 1 Ena's Room Unit 1
Ena (icon) Ena: It's a little early, but I guess I'll log in...
Ena (icon) Ena: (Oh, no one else is online... I thought at least Kanade would be here...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (And I've only made some rough sketches of the artwork of our next song...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (I guess I just have to keep chipping away at it then. Mizuki won't be able to get anything done either if I keep stalling like this...)
Ena (icon) Ena: <And yet...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <I have a solid image in my head, but it feel[sic] wrong when I put pen to paper...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Maybe I should just scrap it and start it over since it's just a rough draft.>
Mafuyu (icon) ???: <I think that should be fine...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Huh? Oh, Yuki?>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <I'm here...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Why didn't you say you were here?>
Ena (icon) Ena: <And you're earlier than usual. Aren't you supposed to have club activities right now?>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Today's our day off.>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Oh, okay. I see.>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <It's almost time for you to go to school, right?>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Well... I don't think I'll go today.>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Okay...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Um... how much have you gotten done so far?>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <I'm editing the lyrics now...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Uh, great...>
Ena (icon) Ena: (She's already gotten that much done?! And I'm still stuck making rough sketches...)
Ena (icon) Ena: <Yuki, can I see your lyrics for a second?>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <They're not done yet.>
Ena (icon) Ena: <That's fine. Please, let me see them!>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Okay. I'll send them...>
Ena (icon) Ena: (Ah, there we go...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (Wait... These haven't been edited yet? And they're this good already? What's there to fix?)
Ena (icon) Ena: (Yuki got so much done while I was running around in circles...)
Ena (icon) Ena: This is what it means to be a genius...
Ena (icon) Ena: No... Talent or being a genius doesn't matter anymore...!
Ena (icon) Ena: Just don't give up. I have to keep drawing, period...!
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <...>
Ena (icon) Ena: (No...! I left my mic on...!)
Ena (icon) Ena: <I, um... About that... I was just talking to myself, so...>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <I see.>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Um, well...>
Ena (icon) Ena: (Thank goodness... Plus, it's just Mafuyu and she doesn't care about...)
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <You really love art, don't you...?>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Huh?>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <That's nice...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <...!>
Ena (icon) Ena: (Wait, what does she mean by that? Where is she getting this from...?!)


Background Empty SEKAI
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: It doesn't matter whether or not my songs are any good.
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: What I want isn't great songs, nor is it the praise of others. All I wanted was to find what I was looking for.


Background Doll Exhibit
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: *Huff*... *Huff*...
Ena (icon) Ena: Mafuyu! Whoa! What's going on?!
Ena (icon) Ena: (Right... Even Mafuyu carries a certain kind of pain only she can understand...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (And it has been kept at arm's length now thanks to Kanade...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (And Kanade... Even Mizuki... The also carry that pain.)
Ena (icon) Ena: (And I'm no different. I fell into that same trap...)
Ena (icon) Ena: (But...)


Background Empty SEKAI
Mizuki (icon) Mizuki: You say that you don't have any talent, Ena, but I don't think so...
Kanade (icon) Kanade: And I don't believe you're the kind of person that needs recognition in order to draw, Ena.
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: If no one acknowledged or recognizes you now, just keep drawing until someone does.
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: We have to keep creating what we do anyway so...
Ena (icon) Ena: (And I'll keep on making music with them. As long as I can...)
Ena (icon) Ena: <Yuki...>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Yes?>
Ena (icon) Ena: <Can you look at my rough draft later?>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Me? Not K?>
Ena (icon) Ena: <I'll show K too. Amia will some way to peek and poke holes in it so...>
Ena (icon) Ena: <I thought you should see it too, Yuki.>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Okay.>
Ena (icon) Ena: <I'll try to get it done today, so you can see it. In the meantime, I'll be muting everything so I can focus on it.>
Mafuyu (icon) Mafuyu: <Okay. I'll do the same.>
Ena (icon) Ena: Alright, I'll show her. I'll make something that'll surprise even Mafuyu!
Ena (icon) Ena: And, oh... Mafuyu has no interest to speak of...
Ena (icon) Ena: I'll just make it so my art fills that hole!
Ena (icon) Ena: Hehe. Time to get started!
