[ KNOCK KNOCK, PUNK. ]

[selfportraiture]

[............... and eventually, muffled through the door:]

What.

[undefinery]

How'm I supposed to comfort you and put this nice cold washcloth over your eyes so they're not gross and swollen from crying if you won't let me in?

[ Important questions. ]

[selfportraiture]

[...

The door cracks open.]

They're not gross and swollen. Jeeze, you're so uncute sometimes with how you talk.

[They are a little red, though, as she finally steps back from the door to let Mizuki in.]

[undefinery]

You're calling me uncute for being honest? Thanks for nothing.

[ Mizuki did in fact bring along a cold washcloth, neatly folded. Which she offers. ]

[selfportraiture]

I'm saying it's not that bad!

[... Still, she'll take that, moving back over to her bed, at which point she just flops back onto it and carefully puts the washcloth over her eyes.

And, with a frustrated mumble:]

It's so stupid.

[To be upset over her phone screen. But she can't help it.]

[undefinery]

Maybe to some people.

[ She'll admit that, just leaning with her back against the door. ]

But our phones are important to us. I'd be upset, too.

[selfportraiture]

[... The distance sucks, she thinks. It'd be nice if she could just... reach out.

But Mizuki wouldn't be comfortable with that, and Ena's emotions are a mess. It wouldn't be fair for her to inflict that on her.]

... Yeah.

It... still works. Thank god. But for a second there, I really thought...

[She'd fucked up her entrance into their SEKAI forever.]

[undefinery]

It was scary, huh?

[ Mizuki's voice softens, slightly. ]

And then Kaito would never let you hear the end of it.

[selfportraiture]

Ughhhh.

[She groans, slumping back against the bed even more.]

I can hear him scolding me now. As if we're not already trying our best in this shitty place. It's not like Mamoru-kun had a phone to try his theory with.

[undefinery]

Yeah, the options were limited in the first place. It's like we've got a constant debuff going on here.

[ Where's Toya when you need him. ]

[selfportraiture]

And everything is always out to get us.

[...

She sighs, but she's calming down now, between the washcloth and Mizuki's presence.]

We should try to go in for real soon, though. Rip off the bandaid if it doesn't work.

[Just get all of the disappointment over with all at once--]

[undefinery]

Tomorrow? You should probably take care of your eyes first.

[ YOUR HORRENDOUSLY SWOLLEN EYES-- ]

[selfportraiture]

[WOW.]

... Yeah, tomorrow sounds good.

[Her emotional state is fragile. If Untitled doesn't work, she'll probably lose it, and nobody needs that.]

[undefinery]

Okay, then! For today, the very cheap spa treatment!

[ Washcloth!! ]

[selfportraiture]

[groan...]

This doesn't count at all. An actual spa treatment would be so nice... I'm going to get wrinkles from all the stress at this rate.

[undefinery]

Maybe one day something will open up and they'll have moisturizer.

[ Forever optimistic. ]

[selfportraiture]

[... She likes the optimism, though.]

Where do you think it'd be? I guess there's the storage room in the school store, but school stores don't usually sell make up and things.

[undefinery]

Schools aren't usually haunted to this level, either. So it might be possible they've got a secret makeup section there.

[ Makeup until proven otherwise. ]

[selfportraiture]

... When you put it like that, it makes me think it'll be haunted.

[undefinery]

Let's hope for the best!

[ OPTIMISM. ]

[selfportraiture]

I guess... not like anything's been great here, but...

[... She won't rain on Mizuki's parade when at least Mizuki is the one bringing some positivity to this whole thing.

A slow breath in, and:]

Hey... Blossom--

[... No.]

... Never mind.

[undefinery]

... Well, that's weird. You never shut yourself up.

[ Mildly. ]

[selfportraiture]

Hey! Don't act like I'm just droning on and on all the time or something!

[Easily riled up--]

[undefinery]

I didn't say that?

[ At all! Wow, Ena. ]
