- BGM: Aria of the Soul
Elizabeth: “Welcome to the Velvet Room. To what do we owe the pleasure for your visit?”
Leader: “Concerning the ‘oden juice’ request... Will this do?”
- SFX: [Leader sets down a can]
Elizabeth: “I shall now verify its contents.”
- SFX: [Elizabeth picks up the can]
Elizabeth: “... Oh my! A charming package with what looks to be oden within its contents! … No, that’s wrong. This is just an ordinary can of oden. What you have mistakenly brought me is a simple can that can be bought in bulk! At this time anyone and everyone could mistakenly take this can and---”
Leader: “I don’t care about that...”
Elizabeth: “What I had specifically asked for you to obtain was ‘juice’. A rare item that can be obtained by trading with a certain enthusiast. Please try again once more.”
Leader: “... Sorry about that. Any other requests, then?”
Elizabeth: “Indeed… There is a matter that has been bothering me ever since you took me to visit Gekkoukan Academy some time ago. There was a certain flowerbed that had seemed to have gone unwatered for quite some time. I would like for you to water that flowerbed.”
Leader: “You’re pretty attentive, aren’t you? So where’s that flower bed located?”
Elizabeth: “Please gather that particular piece of information on your own.”
Leader: (... sigh) “Do you have any idea just how many flower beds Gekkoukan has--”
Elizabeth: “That may be precisely the reason why it has gone unwatered for so long, could it not? I shall leave it to you.”
Leader: (somewhat exasperated) “... Got it.” (gets up to leave)
Elizabeth: “And furthermore...”
Leader: (slightly impatient) “Is there still something else?”
Elizabeth: “... Today, it appears that that esteemed sir is in a rather good mood. It may be a good opportunity to obtain the ‘food that is fit for a wolf’...”

Yukari: “... Kirijou-senpai still won’t come out of her room...”
Fuuka: “Yeah... Sanada-senpai seems really worried too.”
Yukari: “Well, I guess expecting her to cheer up isn’t very reasonable either… That aside, what’s he doing, anyway?”
Koromaru: (Bark, bark!)
Leader: “Then I’ll gratefully accept it. Thanks.”
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Amada: “What are you going to do with that dog food?”
Leader: “W, well... This is just...”
Koromaru: “Bark, bark!”
Aigis: “It seems that this high class dog food was hand-picked personally by Aragaki-san.”
Amada: “... Aragaki-san...”
Sanada: “Come to think of it, he bought it in bulk too.”
Junpei: “... It’s not as if he definitely bought in preparation for anything, but... How should a put it... Make sure to savour it, alright Koro?”
Koromaru: (Bark!)
- BGM fades
Amada: “... It’s already been more than a month since then, hasn’t it...?”
Sanada: “Hey, don’t you start getting gloomy now too. You made a promise, didn’t you, Amada?”
Amada: “Ah...! Sorry... I thought that he might listening... So he’d know that we’re still remembering him...”
Koromaru: (whine...)
Sanada: “Even if he's listening, it’s that contrarian we’re talking about here. Who knows if he’d answer.”
Amada: (laughs) “You’re probably right...” (voice fades into the background)
Yukari: “Hmm... I guess they’re pretty gloomy over there too...”
- SFX: [Fuuka gets up]
Fuuka: “... Um! Well...! How about we go to Tartarus tonight? Moving our bodies might lighten to mood a bit... ---Oh, but that was probably tactless of me... I’m so sorry...!”
Yukari: “Ah... I’m with you! I wanna test out my powered up Persona too!”
Amada: “I’m in agreement as well!”
Junpei: “Ah--- Same here!”
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Sanada: “There’s no point in just moping around here, after all.”
Aigis: “Now is a good opportunity to resume exploration.”
Leader: (cheerful) “So everyone’s in agreement?”
SEES: “OU!!”

Mochizuki Ryoji: “Good morning, Junpei! Leader!”
Junpei: (tired) “‘Mornin’!”
Leader: (tired) “Good morning... ‘Leader’?”
Ryoji: "Isn't that what Junpei’s always calling you? Should I just stick to your name instead?”
Leader: “... Do what you want.”
Ryoji: “Oh? Why do you both look so tired?”
Leader: “... We were up kinda late last night...”
Junpei: “You could say we were letting off some steam...”
Ryoji: “Aww, you should have invited me! … Ah? By any chance, was it with that girl?”
Leader: “‘That girl’...?”
Ryoji: (knowing tone) “I heard all about it~ They say Leader brought a beautiful girl here and that she was sticking to him like glue!”
- SFX: [Junpei gets up from his seat]
Junpei: “Whaaa!? That’s the first time I’ve heard of it!”
Ryoji: “It was after school so there weren’t many witnesses, but apparently, she had silver hair.”
Junpei: “SILVER!? There’s definitely no girl like that in our school...”
Leader: “She’s not a student here.”
Junpei: “Then which school IS she from!?”
Leader: “She’s not a student at all. … Though I guess she’s not exactly working class either...”
Junpei: (eager for more details) “So she’s an older girl, huh... If she’s got silver hair, then does that means she’s a foreigner? Why would a foreigner come to our school?”
Leader: “She said she wanted to look around.”
Junpei: (‘Young lady’ impression) “‘What are students like in this country? Won’t you bring me to your school?’ ---SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?”
Leader: “... Well... I guess.”
Junpei: “And then, ‘I wish I could have studied here with you too...’ ---SHE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT, DAMNIIIIIIT!?”
Ryoji: “Silver hair that shines like the moonlight, white skin as pure as snow...! Apparently, she was like a faerie whose very presence penetrated her surroundings!”
Junpei: “Uh... Aren’t you exaggerating a little there?”
Leader: “But... I can understand what they mean when they say she doesn’t seem exactly human...”
Junpei: “---HUH!? Where the heck did you meet a classy lady like that!?”
Leader: “Um... In an elevator, I guess...?”
Junpei: “Huuhh!? What’s with that delicious-sounding encounter!?”
Leader: “... Um...”
Ryoji: “I’d like to meet her too~”
Junpei: “But man, you really are a heck of a smooth talker, aren’t you Ryoji? How’d it go again? ‘White skin as pure as snow, a faerie whose presence penetrates the surroundings’? Ahaha, just saying it makes my skin itch!”
Ryoji: “When describing beauty, what meaning is there in sparing any words?”
Junpei: “Huuhh...!? Do girls really go for stuff like that...? On the left we have a sweet-mouthed smooth talker, yet the only words that ever come out of the right's words are ‘... I don’t care’. And yet one after another, they all just keep flocking to him---GAAAAAHHHHH!!! Damnit, this world’s just way too unfair!! Here I am with not a single thing going well for me, YET IT'S ALWAYS JUST YOU TWO WITH ALL THE LUCK---!?”
Ryoji: “---Wait, does that mean...? Junpei, you have someone like that too~~? That’s wonderful! What kind of person is she?”
Junpei: “WHAT’S IT MATTER TO YOU, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!”
Ryoji: “Ah, don’t tell me you got in a fight...”
Leader: “... Enough already, just leave him be.”
- SFX: [Footsteps]
Yukari: “Morning!”
Aigis: “Good morning.”
Leader: “Good morning”
Junpei: “... ‘mornin’..”
Ryoji: “Good morning, Takeba-san! Aigis-san!”
Aigis: “You are not allowed.”
Ryoji: “Ehh--- I’m not even allowed to greet you...?”
- SFX: [Aigis pushes Ryoji]
Aigis: “Now, please return to your proper seat.”
Ryoji: “Eh--- Wait a sec--- … Ahaha... Y-You’re actually pretty strong, aren’t you, Aigis-san...?”

- SFX: [The sound of something hitting dirt]
???: “---You there! What are you doing!? … Ah. What, so it’s you.”
- SFX: [He takes a few steps forward]
Leader: “Oh, Odagiri. I was just looking for something, that’s all.”
Odagiri Hidetoshi: “What are you looking for way out here?”
Leader: “A flower bed. There doesn’t seem to be any here, though.”
Odagiri: “There should be plenty at the school entrance or the main grounds.”
Leader: “I already checked those places, but since they receive regular maintenance, there’s no point.”
Odagiri: “Hm...?”
Leader: “Know anywhere else I might find a flower bed?”
Odagiri: “No. I don’t really have much interest in such things, after all.”
Leader: “Is that so... Come to think of it, weren’t there some on the roof too?”
Odagiri: “The roof? I might have seen one, but I’m not sure...”
Leader: “If they’re that easy to overlook, then that might be it. I’ll go check.”
- SFX: [Leader starts heading for the roof]
Odagiri: “I’ll come too! That place is an ideal place to hide, so it may be prudent to check there.”
Leader: “The roof?”
Odagiri: “Of course. The teachers don’t go there much and the top can’t be seen from the classrooms. Due to the strong winds, smoke would disperse easily, so it would be much more ideal than within the buildings.”
Leader: “If you’re checking the buildings too, does that mean you’re on patrol?”
Odagiri: “That’s right. The President has been absent lately, so we’ve got to pick up the slack in her place. The school trip is next week as well, right? There are various issues to deal with before then as well. It would be good if the President could return quickly, but... The Kirijou Group’s problems--- No, her father’s loss must be wearing down on her greatly...”
- SFX: [A door opening]
- BGM: Joy
???: “Oh? Odagiri-kun and Leader-kun!”
Odagiri: “Keisuke--- … Who’s ‘Leader-kun’?”
Hiraga Keisuke: “Yamagishi-san tends to call him that, so I ended up picking up too. Are you the leader of your class or something?”
Leader: “Um... I guess it’s kind of a nickname?”
Odagiri: “Hm. It does describe you rather perfectly.”
Hiraga: “Doesn’t it~? I thought it suited him really well too! … Oh, by the way. If the two of you are free right now, then---”
Odagiri: “Unfortunately, we’re not free. We were heading to the roof just now, actually.”
Hiraga: “The roof? Is it the usual patrol? The Student Council really does work hard, huh? In that case, maybe I’ll come with you as well.”
Odagiri: “Have you been following the conversation at all?”
Leader: “What about the club, Hiraga-senpai?”
Hiraga: “I’m doing club activities right now, actually. I got a new lens filter for my camera so I thought I’d test it out outside. The roof gets good sunlight so I was wondering if I could take pictures of two of you.”
Odagiri: “I’d rather you not.”
Hiraga: “You never did like having your picture taken, did you Odagiri-kun?”
Odagiri: “If you understand...”
Hiraga: “But you’ll still let me take it anyway, right?”
Odagiri: “... and if I say ‘no’?”
Hiraga: “Well the filter is new, after all.”
Odagiri: (... sigh) “... Just this once, got it?”
- SFX: [The three of them walk to the roof]
- BGM fades

-
- SFX: [The sound of the door to the roof opening]
Hiraga: “Wow... The view really is great, isn’t it? The breeze feels pleasant too~”
- SFX: [Hiraga begins snapping pictures]
Odagiri: “Hm...? What’s this!?”
- SFX: [Odagiri approaches something]
Odagiri: “To think that someone would leave a plastic bottle in a place like this...! Despite the fact that there’s a trash can not far from it! Did they think no one would notice if they just left it here? How sneaky...”
Leader: “Ah... This will do nicely.”
- SFX: [Leader picks up the bottle and walks a ways away]
Odagiri: “Are you going to throw it away? You could just do it on our way down.”
Leader: “No, I’m not throwing it away.”
- SFX: [Leader fills the bottle up with water with a nearby fountain]
- SFX: [Leader approaches something else]
Leader: “This seems like the flower bed...”
- SFX: [Leader pours water on the flower bed]
Odagiri: “Ah... Hm... I thought they were weeds, but they seem to be wilting...”
Hiraga: “Come to think of it, I hear summer can be pretty hard on flowers... Did you come to the roof to water them? The student council’s duties are more varied than I thought.
Odagiri: “No. It’s not part of his duties as a student council member; it seems to be personal business.”
Hiraga: “I see. So you’re just doing it on your own?”
Leader: “Well... Sort of...”
Hiraga: “I do come to the roof occasionally to take photos, but it never occurred to me to water the flowers... If it’s a person, I could tell how they are by the colour of their face or if their eyes are bloodshot, but I can't say I really know much about plants.”
Odagiri: “As usual, you seem to notice even the most trifling of details.”
Leader: “Not really, it’s just that I happened to hear about it from someone.”
Hiraga: “But I think it’s great! I don’t think it’s something just anyone would do. Look, don’t the leaves on this plant look grateful? It somehow looks so much livelier now!”
- SFX: [Hiraga snaps photos]
Hiraga: “Mm! The droplets of water on the leaves really do look lovely~ … Ah! As long as I’m here, maybe I’ll take shots of the clouds too. The clouds today look especially beautiful, after all!”
- SFX: [Hiraga snaps even more photos]
Leader: “It’s true... The clouds really are pretty...”
- BGM: Memories of the School
Odagiri: “... They are, aren’t they...”
Leader: “Something wrong?”
Odagiri: “I just thought that I never would have noticed if no one said anything.”
Hiraga: “Same here! If Odagiri-kun didn’t notice, then no one would have found the litter. And even if someone did, they'd probably have just left it alone. But as expected, you really do like to keep things clean, don’t you Odagiri-kun?”
Odagiri: “Stop it. I’m rather disillusioned by myself for only being able to notice some trash.”
Leader: “Is that really something to be disillusioned by?”
Hiraga: “Even if we’re in the same place, the things we notice are all different. Isn’t that kind of interesting?”
- SFX: [Hiraga continues taking pictures]
Odagiri: “Wha--- Don’t just take my picture on your own...!!”
Hiraga: (laughs) “It’s rare to see Odagiri-kun’s face looking so down, after all~”
Odagiri: “Keisuke! I demand that you destroy that film.”
Hiraga: “That’s impossible! It’s a digitial camera, after all~”
Odagiri: (defeated) “Kk...!!”
Leader: “… Can’t you just delete it?”

- SFX: [Students talking amongst themselves]
- BGM: [Afternoon Break]
Junpei: (Defeated)“... How could this be...!? My beloved yakisoba bread... The last one was stolen right before my eyes...!!”
Yukari: “I guess I was just a little faster, huh~?”
Ryoji: “I wonder if it’s because I bought two at once earlier...”
Junpei: (exaggerated sobbing) “WHAA--- If you have two then let me have one!!”
Ryoji: “But one of them was because Leader requested it...”
Leader: “There’s still some uguisu bread left.”
Junpei: (exaggerated sobs) “... Even now the world is still so kind to you... and yet so cruel to me!!
- SFX: [Footsteps]
Odagiri: “Ahh, you there! Have you seen the President, by any chance?”
Leader: “I haven’t.”
Yukari: “She said that she’d start coming to school again starting today, though...”
Odagiri: “I was under that impression as well, but she’s yet to show her face at the Student Council room. She’s not on the third years’ floor, either... Perhaps she’ll show up in the afternoon...?”
Ryoji: “By ‘President’, are you talking about the Student Council?”
Junpei: “Oh right, you haven’t met her yet, have you Ryoji? Well, you know how the levels of the girls in our school are pretty high, right? Well she’s the queen who stands at the very summit!”
Yukari: “Again with that stuff...”
Ryoji: “A queen...?”
Junpei: “Looks, brains, pedigree, all stats maxed out!”
Ryoji: (impressed) “Ohhh!”
Junpei: “And maxed out majesty too! Can we even call someone like that by her name!?”
Ryoji: “A natural queen, is it?”
Junpei: “A natural queen she is!”
Yukari: “Really, this is why boys are so...”
Leader: “Whatever.”
Odagiri: “Don’t forget leadership ability. The Student Council President’s abilities are of the highest esteem.”
Ryoji: “She sounds like an amazing woman!”
Odagiri: “However... Lately, she’s been in rather low spirits. In addition to the loss of a family member, she has a great responsibility ahead of her. At this rate, she may be more of a hindrance...”
Yukari: “H-Hey, wait a sec! That can’t be helped, can it...!?”
Odagiri: “... Indeed. I suppose I’ll wait until the end of school, at least. If you happen run into the President, tell her Odagiri is looking for her.”
Leader: “Got it.”
Odagiri: “Then I’ll be off.”
- SFX: [Odagiri starts walking away]
Odagiri: “--Ahhh, that’s right.”
- SFX: [Odagiri halts and turns around]
Odagiri: “You, have you looked up at the sky today?”
Leader: “I haven’t.”
- BGM fades
Odagiri: “I saw a vapour trail earlier. And the air is rather clear today so the far off mountains are rather visible as well.”
Leader: (pleasant tone) “I’ll take a look later.”
Odagiri: “That’s my report. I’ll be off then.”
- SFX: [Odagiri resumes walking]
Junpei: “A... vapour trail...?”
Yukari: “To think that guy was that kind of character...”
Leader: “There’s more to him than meets the eye, after all.”
Ryoji: “In that case, why don’t we all have lunch on the roof today? We can look at the clouds and mountains together~”
Junpei: “Sure, sounds good. That kinda thing might not be bad once in a while.”
Ryoji: “So it’s decided!”
-
-
-
- SFX: [They get to the roof]
Junpei: “Aaahhhaha~ That breeze feels great!”
Yukari: “It looks like the vapour trail’s dispersed already, though.”
Junpei: “Ah, I wonder if someone was flying this morning... Oh! He was right! You can clearly see the mountains today!”
Ryoji: “You can even see the Moonlight Bridge from here too! I’m sure it would be beautiful if we came here at night~”
Junpei: “... It’s not like they’d let us in that late, you know.”
Ryoji: “We could try sneaking in~”
Junpei, Yukari & Leader: “Please stop that line of thinking.”
Junpei: “Hey, I’m starving! Let’s go eat on those benches.”
Ryoji: “Sounds great!”
- SFX: [The four walk over to the benches]
- SFX: [Suddenly, someone else enters the roof]
Fuuka: “Oh? Everyone!”
Yukari: “Ahh, Fuuka!”
Junpei: “S’up!”
Ryoji: “Good afternoon! I believe this is the first time we’ve met.”
Junpei: “Oh, Fuuka, you’ve heard the rumours, right? He’s a transfer student in our class, Mochizuki Ryoji!”
Ryoji: “Pleased to meet you.”
Fuuka: “I’m Yamagishi Fuuka from Class B. Pleased to meet you.”
Ryoji: “‘Fuuka-san’! What a gentle-sounding name. It suits you well.”
Fuuka: (embarrassed) “Ah... Th, thank you...”
Junpei: “Dude, don’t just start flirting with her all of a sudden!”
Ryoji: “By the way, did you say there were rumours surrounding me?”
Yukari: “More than a few.”
Junpei: “‘The unparalleled playboy appears!’ It started spreading after you transferred in.”
Ryoji: “R-Really? It sounds like they have the wrong idea...”
Yukari: “Do you know what ‘wrong idea’ even means?”
Leader: “Fuuka, about that watering can...”
Fuuka: “Ah, this? Well, you see, Hiraga-senpai told me about what happened yesterday. I haven’t been watering the flowers at all lately, so I thought I’d bring this in apology.”
Ryoji: “To water the flowers? You’re such a kind person...!”
Fuuka: “Th, that’s not it... If Leader hadn’t done so first, I wouldn’t have remembered.”
Yukari: (impressed) “Really? You’re pretty perceptive, aren’t you?”
Leader: “I only knew after I heard about it from someone. Did you know about this flower bed from the start, Fuuka?”
- SFX: [Fuuka fills the watering can with water with the nearby fountain]
Fuuka: “Uh huh! During the summer, I’d always drop by the water the flower, but... After the weather started cooling down, I ended up forgetting.
Junpei: “Still, you’ve been doing it until recently, right? Not bad at all!”
Leader: “If someone as knowledgeable about plants as Fuuka’s taking care of them, there’s nothing to worry about.”
- SFX: [Fuuka finishes filling the can and tries to lift it up]
- SFX: [Ryoji runs over]
Ryoji: “Let me help. That looks heavy after all.”
Fuuka: “Ah, thank you. You sure are kind, aren’t you, Ryoji-kun?”
Ryoji: “Thanks.”
Junpei: “Man, he’s such a gentleman... Wait, could this be one of his techniques? Better write it down...!”
- SFX: [Fuuka waters the flowers]
Fuuka: “I’m sorry for forgetting you all this time...”
Ryoji: “They seem happy.”
Junpei: “You can tell?”
Ryoji: “If this flower bed stays healthy from now on, the flowers will start blooming by next year, right? I’m looking forward to it.”
Fuuka: “Mm. I won’t forget anymore, okay?”
Ryoji: "To care about these small flowers... It's because of kind people like you, Fuuka-san, that this world is so beautiful."
Leader: “Beautiful?”
Ryoji: “Yep, beautiful!”
- BGM: Tranquilty
Ryoji: “Whether it's the mountains, the sea or the sky, they're all sparkling! Almost like newborn light."
Junpei: “Well, it’s a nice view, but...”
Ryoji: "The reason they're all so beautiful is because of everyone's kindness. That’s what I think."
Yukari: “Because of kindness...?”
Ryoji: "There's a huge amount of people living in this world. They're all living! They all experience different things, living day to day, talking about different things, learning about different things. That's the way this world is structured. The reason such a world is beautiful is because of the kindness of the people living in it, isn't it?"
Yukari: "That's some pretty amazing reasoning. But... I think I like the sound of that!"
Fuuka: "You're really kind yourself, Ryoji-kun. I think that's probably why everything looks so beautiful to your eyes."
Ryoji: "Hm, you think so~?"
Leader: “'The world that exists inside oneself'...”
Fuuka: “Ah, that’s it! That’s what I mean!”
Leader: “It’s something I heard from Amada once.”
Yukari: “Woah... Just how mature is he gonna get?”
Ryoji: “So does that mean the reason the world looks beautiful for me is because of how dear it is to me?”
Junpei: “--Oh...”
Yukari: “Hm? What’s wrong, Junpei?”
Junpei: “No, it’s just... I was reminded of Chidori for a sec there...”
- BGM fades
Ryoji: “Your girlfriend?”
Junpei: “She’s not really my girlfriend, but It’s just, the stuff she drew...”
Yukari: “You mean that avant-garde stuff?”
- BGM: Living with Determination -Iwatodai Station Arrange-
Junpei: "Yeah. When I first met her in front of Port Island Station, I thought she was just drawing the scenery but... It was as if the drawing was exploding or something. It really stood out at me. Like, how should I put it... It felt kinda thorny, like she was trying to attack something. Not just the colours or scenery either, but just the feel of it all... And, now that I think out it, that's probably how the world looked to her eyes. Surrounded by enemies, not caring about anything... Like she’d just given up on everything..."
Fuuka: “Junpei-kun...”
Junpei: "But, the other day, Chidori told me something... That 'the world looks bright'. At the time, I thought she was talking about the weather, but now... I don't think that was it."
Fuuka: "I think, rather than the world changing for her, that's..."
Junpei: “Yeah... It’s probably Chidori herself who’s changed.”
Yukari: “And you too, right Junpei?”
Junpei: “Nah, I... don’t think I’ve changed at all. Just the other day, she told me not to come anymore... I just don't know how to move forward anymore...”
Fuuka: “You shouldn’t be too hard on yourself! The one who understands Chidori-san's heart best is no one other than you, Junpei-kun!”
Yukari: “Yeah. She’s definitely relying on you.”
Junpei: (feeling a bit relieved) “… Y, yeah... That’s right... That’s it, isn’t it? I mean, the only one Chidori’ll even talk to is me, right?”
Leader: “You’re her knight, aren’t you?”
Junpei: (embarrassed) “Wha---H, Hey, man! Don’t say something so embarrassing all of a sudden...!!”
- BGM fends
Yukari: “It's not embarrassing at all! I think it’s pretty cool, Junpei!”
Fuuka: “Yeah, she’s right!”
Junpei: (still embarrassed) “Ahhh... Ah, ahahaha...! Yeah... Y, yeah! I get it! I won’t give up! Not today!”
- SFX: [The bell signalling the end of lunch]
Fuuka: “Ah...! We have to get back to class!”
Junpei: "Eh!? Wait--- I haven't even finished my lunch yet!! HROUMPH--"
- SFX: [Junpei stuff his bread into his mouth]
Ryoji: “That was a long conversation, wasn't it? ... But it having such a long and wonderful conversation, makes me feel pretty content too~"
Junpei: (with his mouth full) “Rha rho rhe rha rhu rho! (Come on, let's go!)”

- BGM: Aria of the Soul
Elizabeth: “The retrieval of ‘food fit for a wolf’, as well as the watering of the flowerbed... I have confirmed the completion of these two requests. You have my thanks. As promised, here is your reward. Please accept it.”
- SFX: [Elizabeth hands Leader a case, which he accepts]
Leader: “Thank you. It took some time to find the flower bed. I’m surprised you noticed it, Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth: “Oh, but that is only natural. For me, everything in that world that I can see, that I can touch, everything is something fresh and new, and everything is special. There is not a single thing there that is ‘trivial’ or ‘unnecessary’ to me.”
Leader: (understanding tone) “I see.”
Elizabeth: “Reality is equal to all. However, how one interprets it is dependant on the individual, and... dependant on you, as well.”
Leader: “It depends on the 'world within oneself'.”
Elizabeth: “Yes. If you lose sight of that, you will become one who is unable to see anything at all.”
Leader: “I’ll be careful. The reason I notice is because someone’s always pointing it out for me.”
Elizabeth: “That is indeed one way to take notice of it. My requests, as well, are the result of you bringing various things to my notice, and my subsequent desire to examine those things for myself, are they not?”
Leader: “Maybe so.”
Elizabeth: “Speaking of which, although you have managed to complete two more of my requests, are you interested in another? After all, they exist due to that which you, yourself, have brought to my attention.”
Leader: “So that’s what it comes down to in the end, is it?”
Elizabeth: “Are you familiar with the individuals known as ‘Featherman R’?”
Leader: “It’s a television show.”
Elizabeth: “I would like to request a doll that bears the image of one of those individuals. It appears to be a rather rare and valuable item, but...”
Leader: “It’s fine. I happen to know a friend who might be able to help.”

Elizabeth: “Welcome to the Velvet Room. To what do we owe the pleasure for your visit?”
Leader: “Concerning the ‘oden juice’ request... Will this do?”
- SFX: [Leader sets down a can]
Elizabeth: “I shall now verify its contents.”
- SFX: [Elizabeth picks up the can]
Elizabeth: “... Oh my! A charming package with what looks to be oden within its contents! … No, that’s wrong. This is just an ordinary can of oden. What you have mistakenly brought me is a simple can that can be bought in bulk! At this time anyone and everyone could mistakenly take this can and---”
Leader: “I don’t care about that...”
Elizabeth: “What I had specifically asked for you to obtain was ‘juice’. A rare item that can be obtained by trading with a certain enthusiast. Please try again once more.”
Leader: “... Sorry about that. Any other requests, then?”
Elizabeth: “Indeed… There is a matter that has been bothering me ever since you took me to visit Gekkoukan Academy some time ago. There was a certain flowerbed that had seemed to have gone unwatered for quite some time. I would like for you to water that flowerbed.”
Leader: “You’re pretty attentive, aren’t you? So where’s that flower bed located?”
Elizabeth: “Please gather that particular piece of information on your own.”
Leader: (... sigh) “Do you have any idea just how many flower beds Gekkoukan has--”
Elizabeth: “That may be precisely the reason why it has gone unwatered for so long, could it not? I shall leave it to you.”
Leader: (somewhat exasperated) “... Got it.” (gets up to leave)
Elizabeth: “And furthermore...”
Leader: (slightly impatient) “Is there still something else?”
Elizabeth: “... Today, it appears that that esteemed sir is in a rather good mood. It may be a good opportunity to obtain the ‘food that is fit for a wolf’...”

Yukari: “... Kirijou-senpai still won’t come out of her room...”
Fuuka: “Yeah... Sanada-senpai seems really worried too.”
Yukari: “Well, I guess expecting her to cheer up isn’t very reasonable either… That aside, what’s he doing, anyway?”
Koromaru: (Bark, bark!)
Leader: “Then I’ll gratefully accept it. Thanks.”
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Amada: “What are you going to do with that dog food?”
Leader: “W, well... This is just...”
Koromaru: “Bark, bark!”
Aigis: “It seems that this high class dog food was hand-picked personally by Aragaki-san.”
Amada: “... Aragaki-san...”
Sanada: “Come to think of it, he bought it in bulk too.”
Junpei: “... It’s not as if he definitely bought in preparation for anything, but... How should a put it... Make sure to savour it, alright Koro?”
Koromaru: (Bark!)
- BGM fades
Amada: “... It’s already been more than a month since then, hasn’t it...?”
Sanada: “Hey, don’t you start getting gloomy now too. You made a promise, didn’t you, Amada?”
Amada: “Ah...! Sorry... I thought that he might listening... So he’d know that we’re still remembering him...”
Koromaru: (whine...)
Sanada: “Even if he's listening, it’s that contrarian we’re talking about here. Who knows if he’d answer.”
Amada: (laughs) “You’re probably right...” (voice fades into the background)
Yukari: “Hmm... I guess they’re pretty gloomy over there too...”
- SFX: [Fuuka gets up]
Fuuka: “... Um! Well...! How about we go to Tartarus tonight? Moving our bodies might lighten to mood a bit... ---Oh, but that was probably tactless of me... I’m so sorry...!”
Yukari: “Ah... I’m with you! I wanna test out my powered up Persona too!”
Amada: “I’m in agreement as well!”
Junpei: “Ah--- Same here!”
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Sanada: “There’s no point in just moping around here, after all.”

Mochizuki Ryoji: “Good morning, Junpei! Leader!”
Junpei: (tired) “‘Mornin’!”
Leader: (tired) “Good morning... ‘Leader’?”
Ryoji: "Isn't that what Junpei’s always calling you? Should I just stick to your name instead?”
Leader: “... Do what you want.”
Ryoji: “Oh? Why do you both look so tired?”
Leader: “... We were up kinda late last night...”
Junpei: “You could say we were letting off some steam...”
Ryoji: “Aww, you should have invited me! … Ah? By any chance, was it with that girl?”
Leader: “‘That girl’...?”
Ryoji: (knowing tone) “I heard all about it~ They say Leader brought a beautiful girl here and that she was sticking to him like glue!”
- SFX: [Junpei gets up from his seat]
Junpei: “Whaaa!? That’s the first time I’ve heard of it!”
Ryoji: “It was after school so there weren’t many witnesses, but apparently, she had silver hair.”
Junpei: “SILVER!? There’s definitely no girl like that in our school...”
Leader: “She’s not a student here.”
Junpei: “Then which school IS she from!?”
Leader: “She’s not a student at all. … Though I guess she’s not exactly working class either...”
Junpei: (eager for more details) “So she’s an older girl, huh... If she’s got silver hair, then does that means she’s a foreigner? Why would a foreigner come to our school?”
Leader: “She said she wanted to look around.”
Junpei: (‘Young lady’ impression) “‘What are students like in this country? Won’t you bring me to your school?’ ---SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?”
Leader: “... Well... I guess.”
Junpei: “And then, ‘I wish I could have studied here with you too...’ ---SHE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT, DAMNIIIIIIT!?”
Ryoji: “Silver hair that shines like the moonlight, white skin as pure as snow...! Apparently, she was like a faerie whose very presence penetrated her surroundings!”
Junpei: “Uh... Aren’t you exaggerating a little there?”
Leader: “But... I can understand what they mean when they say she doesn’t seem exactly human...”
Junpei: “---HUH!? Where the heck did you meet a classy lady like that!?”
Leader: “Um... In an elevator, I guess...?”
Junpei: “Huuhh!? What’s with that delicious-sounding encounter!?”
Leader: “... Um...”
Ryoji: “I’d like to meet her too~”
Junpei: “But man, you really are a heck of a smooth talker, aren’t you Ryoji? How’d it go again? ‘White skin as pure as snow, a faerie whose presence penetrates the surroundings’? Ahaha, just saying it makes my skin itch!”
Ryoji: “When describing beauty, what meaning is there in sparing any words?”
Junpei: “Huuhh...!? Do girls really go for stuff like that...? On the left we have a sweet-mouthed smooth talker, yet the only words that ever come out of the right's words are ‘... I don’t care’. And yet one after another, they all just keep flocking to him---GAAAAAHHHHH!!! Damnit, this world’s just way too unfair!! Here I am with not a single thing going well for me, YET IT'S ALWAYS JUST YOU TWO WITH ALL THE LUCK---!?”
Ryoji: “---Wait, does that mean...? Junpei, you have someone like that too~~? That’s wonderful! What kind of person is she?”
Junpei: “WHAT’S IT MATTER TO YOU, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!”
Ryoji: “Ah, don’t tell me you got in a fight...”
Leader: “... Enough already, just leave him be.”
- SFX: [Footsteps]
Yukari: “Morning!”
Aigis: “Good morning.”
Leader: “Good morning”
Junpei: “... ‘mornin’..”
Ryoji: “Good morning, Takeba-san! Aigis-san!”
Aigis: “You are not allowed.”
Ryoji: “Ehh--- I’m not even allowed to greet you...?”
- SFX: [Aigis pushes Ryoji]
Aigis: “Now, please return to your proper seat.”

- SFX: [He takes a few steps forward]
Leader: “Oh, Odagiri. I was just looking for something, that’s all.”
Odagiri Hidetoshi: “What are you looking for way out here?”
Leader: “A flower bed. There doesn’t seem to be any here, though.”
Odagiri: “There should be plenty at the school entrance or the main grounds.”
Leader: “I already checked those places, but since they receive regular maintenance, there’s no point.”
Odagiri: “Hm...?”
Leader: “Know anywhere else I might find a flower bed?”
Odagiri: “No. I don’t really have much interest in such things, after all.”
Leader: “Is that so... Come to think of it, weren’t there some on the roof too?”
Odagiri: “The roof? I might have seen one, but I’m not sure...”
Leader: “If they’re that easy to overlook, then that might be it. I’ll go check.”
- SFX: [Leader starts heading for the roof]
Odagiri: “I’ll come too! That place is an ideal place to hide, so it may be prudent to check there.”
Leader: “The roof?”
Odagiri: “Of course. The teachers don’t go there much and the top can’t be seen from the classrooms. Due to the strong winds, smoke would disperse easily, so it would be much more ideal than within the buildings.”
Leader: “If you’re checking the buildings too, does that mean you’re on patrol?”
Odagiri: “That’s right. The President has been absent lately, so we’ve got to pick up the slack in her place. The school trip is next week as well, right? There are various issues to deal with before then as well. It would be good if the President could return quickly, but... The Kirijou Group’s problems--- No, her father’s loss must be wearing down on her greatly...”

???: “Oh? Odagiri-kun and Leader-kun!”
Odagiri: “Keisuke--- … Who’s ‘Leader-kun’?”
Hiraga Keisuke: “Yamagishi-san tends to call him that, so I ended up picking up too. Are you the leader of your class or something?”
Leader: “Um... I guess it’s kind of a nickname?”
Odagiri: “Hm. It does describe you rather perfectly.”
Hiraga: “Doesn’t it~? I thought it suited him really well too! … Oh, by the way. If the two of you are free right now, then---”
Odagiri: “Unfortunately, we’re not free. We were heading to the roof just now, actually.”
Hiraga: “The roof? Is it the usual patrol? The Student Council really does work hard, huh? In that case, maybe I’ll come with you as well.”
Odagiri: “Have you been following the conversation at all?”
Leader: “What about the club, Hiraga-senpai?”
Hiraga: “I’m doing club activities right now, actually. I got a new lens filter for my camera so I thought I’d test it out outside. The roof gets good sunlight so I was wondering if I could take pictures of two of you.”
Odagiri: “I’d rather you not.”
Hiraga: “You never did like having your picture taken, did you Odagiri-kun?”
Odagiri: “If you understand...”
Hiraga: “But you’ll still let me take it anyway, right?”
Odagiri: “... and if I say ‘no’?”
Hiraga: “Well the filter is new, after all.”
Odagiri: (... sigh) “... Just this once, got it?”

- SFX: [Hiraga begins snapping pictures]
Odagiri: “Hm...? What’s this!?”
- SFX: [Odagiri approaches something]
Odagiri: “To think that someone would leave a plastic bottle in a place like this...! Despite the fact that there’s a trash can not far from it! Did they think no one would notice if they just left it here? How sneaky...”
Leader: “Ah... This will do nicely.”
- SFX: [Leader picks up the bottle and walks a ways away]
Odagiri: “Are you going to throw it away? You could just do it on our way down.”
Leader: “No, I’m not throwing it away.”
- SFX: [Leader fills the bottle up with water with a nearby fountain]
- SFX: [Leader approaches something else]
Leader: “This seems like the flower bed...”
- SFX: [Leader pours water on the flower bed]
Odagiri: “Ah... Hm... I thought they were weeds, but they seem to be wilting...”
Hiraga: “Come to think of it, I hear summer can be pretty hard on flowers... Did you come to the roof to water them? The student council’s duties are more varied than I thought.
Odagiri: “No. It’s not part of his duties as a student council member; it seems to be personal business.”
Hiraga: “I see. So you’re just doing it on your own?”
Leader: “Well... Sort of...”
Hiraga: “I do come to the roof occasionally to take photos, but it never occurred to me to water the flowers... If it’s a person, I could tell how they are by the colour of their face or if their eyes are bloodshot, but I can't say I really know much about plants.”
Odagiri: “As usual, you seem to notice even the most trifling of details.”
Leader: “Not really, it’s just that I happened to hear about it from someone.”
Hiraga: “But I think it’s great! I don’t think it’s something just anyone would do. Look, don’t the leaves on this plant look grateful? It somehow looks so much livelier now!”
- SFX: [Hiraga snaps photos]
Hiraga: “Mm! The droplets of water on the leaves really do look lovely~ … Ah! As long as I’m here, maybe I’ll take shots of the clouds too. The clouds today look especially beautiful, after all!”
- SFX: [Hiraga snaps even more photos]
Leader: “It’s true... The clouds really are pretty...”
- BGM: Memories of the School
Odagiri: “... They are, aren’t they...”
Leader: “Something wrong?”
Odagiri: “I just thought that I never would have noticed if no one said anything.”
Hiraga: “Same here! If Odagiri-kun didn’t notice, then no one would have found the litter. And even if someone did, they'd probably have just left it alone. But as expected, you really do like to keep things clean, don’t you Odagiri-kun?”
Odagiri: “Stop it. I’m rather disillusioned by myself for only being able to notice some trash.”
Leader: “Is that really something to be disillusioned by?”
Hiraga: “Even if we’re in the same place, the things we notice are all different. Isn’t that kind of interesting?”
- SFX: [Hiraga continues taking pictures]
Odagiri: “Wha--- Don’t just take my picture on your own...!!”
Hiraga: (laughs) “It’s rare to see Odagiri-kun’s face looking so down, after all~”
Odagiri: “Keisuke! I demand that you destroy that film.”
Hiraga: “That’s impossible! It’s a digitial camera, after all~”
Odagiri: (defeated) “Kk...!!”

Junpei: (Defeated)“... How could this be...!? My beloved yakisoba bread... The last one was stolen right before my eyes...!!”
Yukari: “I guess I was just a little faster, huh~?”
Ryoji: “I wonder if it’s because I bought two at once earlier...”
Junpei: (exaggerated sobbing) “WHAA--- If you have two then let me have one!!”
Ryoji: “But one of them was because Leader requested it...”
Leader: “There’s still some uguisu bread left.”
Junpei: (exaggerated sobs) “... Even now the world is still so kind to you... and yet so cruel to me!!
- SFX: [Footsteps]
Odagiri: “Ahh, you there! Have you seen the President, by any chance?”
Leader: “I haven’t.”
Yukari: “She said that she’d start coming to school again starting today, though...”
Odagiri: “I was under that impression as well, but she’s yet to show her face at the Student Council room. She’s not on the third years’ floor, either... Perhaps she’ll show up in the afternoon...?”
Ryoji: “By ‘President’, are you talking about the Student Council?”
Junpei: “Oh right, you haven’t met her yet, have you Ryoji? Well, you know how the levels of the girls in our school are pretty high, right? Well she’s the queen who stands at the very summit!”
Yukari: “Again with that stuff...”
Ryoji: “A queen...?”
Junpei: “Looks, brains, pedigree, all stats maxed out!”
Ryoji: (impressed) “Ohhh!”
Junpei: “And maxed out majesty too! Can we even call someone like that by her name!?”
Ryoji: “A natural queen, is it?”
Junpei: “A natural queen she is!”
Yukari: “Really, this is why boys are so...”
Leader: “Whatever.”
Odagiri: “Don’t forget leadership ability. The Student Council President’s abilities are of the highest esteem.”
Ryoji: “She sounds like an amazing woman!”
Odagiri: “However... Lately, she’s been in rather low spirits. In addition to the loss of a family member, she has a great responsibility ahead of her. At this rate, she may be more of a hindrance...”
Yukari: “H-Hey, wait a sec! That can’t be helped, can it...!?”
Odagiri: “... Indeed. I suppose I’ll wait until the end of school, at least. If you happen run into the President, tell her Odagiri is looking for her.”
Leader: “Got it.”
Odagiri: “Then I’ll be off.”
- SFX: [Odagiri starts walking away]
Odagiri: “--Ahhh, that’s right.”
- SFX: [Odagiri halts and turns around]
Odagiri: “You, have you looked up at the sky today?”
Leader: “I haven’t.”
- BGM fades
Odagiri: “I saw a vapour trail earlier. And the air is rather clear today so the far off mountains are rather visible as well.”
Leader: (pleasant tone) “I’ll take a look later.”
Odagiri: “That’s my report. I’ll be off then.”
- SFX: [Odagiri resumes walking]
Junpei: “A... vapour trail...?”
Yukari: “To think that guy was that kind of character...”
Leader: “There’s more to him than meets the eye, after all.”
Ryoji: “In that case, why don’t we all have lunch on the roof today? We can look at the clouds and mountains together~”
Junpei: “Sure, sounds good. That kinda thing might not be bad once in a while.”
Ryoji: “So it’s decided!”

- SFX: [They get to the roof]
Junpei: “Aaahhhaha~ That breeze feels great!”
Yukari: “It looks like the vapour trail’s dispersed already, though.”
Junpei: “Ah, I wonder if someone was flying this morning... Oh! He was right! You can clearly see the mountains today!”
Ryoji: “You can even see the Moonlight Bridge from here too! I’m sure it would be beautiful if we came here at night~”
Junpei: “... It’s not like they’d let us in that late, you know.”
Ryoji: “We could try sneaking in~”
Junpei, Yukari & Leader: “Please stop that line of thinking.”
Junpei: “Hey, I’m starving! Let’s go eat on those benches.”
Ryoji: “Sounds great!”
- SFX: [The four walk over to the benches]
- SFX: [Suddenly, someone else enters the roof]
Fuuka: “Oh? Everyone!”
Yukari: “Ahh, Fuuka!”
Junpei: “S’up!”
Ryoji: “Good afternoon! I believe this is the first time we’ve met.”
Junpei: “Oh, Fuuka, you’ve heard the rumours, right? He’s a transfer student in our class, Mochizuki Ryoji!”
Ryoji: “Pleased to meet you.”
Fuuka: “I’m Yamagishi Fuuka from Class B. Pleased to meet you.”
Ryoji: “‘Fuuka-san’! What a gentle-sounding name. It suits you well.”
Fuuka: (embarrassed) “Ah... Th, thank you...”
Junpei: “Dude, don’t just start flirting with her all of a sudden!”
Ryoji: “By the way, did you say there were rumours surrounding me?”
Yukari: “More than a few.”
Junpei: “‘The unparalleled playboy appears!’ It started spreading after you transferred in.”
Ryoji: “R-Really? It sounds like they have the wrong idea...”
Yukari: “Do you know what ‘wrong idea’ even means?”
Leader: “Fuuka, about that watering can...”
Fuuka: “Ah, this? Well, you see, Hiraga-senpai told me about what happened yesterday. I haven’t been watering the flowers at all lately, so I thought I’d bring this in apology.”
Ryoji: “To water the flowers? You’re such a kind person...!”
Fuuka: “Th, that’s not it... If Leader hadn’t done so first, I wouldn’t have remembered.”
Yukari: (impressed) “Really? You’re pretty perceptive, aren’t you?”
Leader: “I only knew after I heard about it from someone. Did you know about this flower bed from the start, Fuuka?”
- SFX: [Fuuka fills the watering can with water with the nearby fountain]
Fuuka: “Uh huh! During the summer, I’d always drop by the water the flower, but... After the weather started cooling down, I ended up forgetting.
Junpei: “Still, you’ve been doing it until recently, right? Not bad at all!”
Leader: “If someone as knowledgeable about plants as Fuuka’s taking care of them, there’s nothing to worry about.”
- SFX: [Fuuka finishes filling the can and tries to lift it up]
- SFX: [Ryoji runs over]
Ryoji: “Let me help. That looks heavy after all.”
Fuuka: “Ah, thank you. You sure are kind, aren’t you, Ryoji-kun?”
Ryoji: “Thanks.”
Junpei: “Man, he’s such a gentleman... Wait, could this be one of his techniques? Better write it down...!”
- SFX: [Fuuka waters the flowers]
Fuuka: “I’m sorry for forgetting you all this time...”
Ryoji: “They seem happy.”
Junpei: “You can tell?”
Ryoji: “If this flower bed stays healthy from now on, the flowers will start blooming by next year, right? I’m looking forward to it.”
Fuuka: “Mm. I won’t forget anymore, okay?”
Ryoji: "To care about these small flowers... It's because of kind people like you, Fuuka-san, that this world is so beautiful."
Leader: “Beautiful?”
Ryoji: “Yep, beautiful!”
- BGM: Tranquilty
Ryoji: “Whether it's the mountains, the sea or the sky, they're all sparkling! Almost like newborn light."
Junpei: “Well, it’s a nice view, but...”
Ryoji: "The reason they're all so beautiful is because of everyone's kindness. That’s what I think."
Yukari: “Because of kindness...?”
Ryoji: "There's a huge amount of people living in this world. They're all living! They all experience different things, living day to day, talking about different things, learning about different things. That's the way this world is structured. The reason such a world is beautiful is because of the kindness of the people living in it, isn't it?"
Yukari: "That's some pretty amazing reasoning. But... I think I like the sound of that!"
Fuuka: "You're really kind yourself, Ryoji-kun. I think that's probably why everything looks so beautiful to your eyes."
Ryoji: "Hm, you think so~?"
Leader: “'The world that exists inside oneself'...”
Fuuka: “Ah, that’s it! That’s what I mean!”
Leader: “It’s something I heard from Amada once.”
Yukari: “Woah... Just how mature is he gonna get?”
Ryoji: “So does that mean the reason the world looks beautiful for me is because of how dear it is to me?”
Junpei: “--Oh...”
Yukari: “Hm? What’s wrong, Junpei?”
Junpei: “No, it’s just... I was reminded of Chidori for a sec there...”
- BGM fades
Ryoji: “Your girlfriend?”
Junpei: “She’s not really my girlfriend, but It’s just, the stuff she drew...”
Yukari: “You mean that avant-garde stuff?”
- BGM: Living with Determination -Iwatodai Station Arrange-
Junpei: "Yeah. When I first met her in front of Port Island Station, I thought she was just drawing the scenery but... It was as if the drawing was exploding or something. It really stood out at me. Like, how should I put it... It felt kinda thorny, like she was trying to attack something. Not just the colours or scenery either, but just the feel of it all... And, now that I think out it, that's probably how the world looked to her eyes. Surrounded by enemies, not caring about anything... Like she’d just given up on everything..."
Fuuka: “Junpei-kun...”
Junpei: "But, the other day, Chidori told me something... That 'the world looks bright'. At the time, I thought she was talking about the weather, but now... I don't think that was it."
Fuuka: "I think, rather than the world changing for her, that's..."
Junpei: “Yeah... It’s probably Chidori herself who’s changed.”
Yukari: “And you too, right Junpei?”
Junpei: “Nah, I... don’t think I’ve changed at all. Just the other day, she told me not to come anymore... I just don't know how to move forward anymore...”
Fuuka: “You shouldn’t be too hard on yourself! The one who understands Chidori-san's heart best is no one other than you, Junpei-kun!”
Yukari: “Yeah. She’s definitely relying on you.”
Junpei: (feeling a bit relieved) “… Y, yeah... That’s right... That’s it, isn’t it? I mean, the only one Chidori’ll even talk to is me, right?”
Leader: “You’re her knight, aren’t you?”
Junpei: (embarrassed) “Wha---H, Hey, man! Don’t say something so embarrassing all of a sudden...!!”
- BGM fends
Yukari: “It's not embarrassing at all! I think it’s pretty cool, Junpei!”

Elizabeth: “The retrieval of ‘food fit for a wolf’, as well as the watering of the flowerbed... I have confirmed the completion of these two requests. You have my thanks. As promised, here is your reward. Please accept it.”
- SFX: [Elizabeth hands Leader a case, which he accepts]
Leader: “Thank you. It took some time to find the flower bed. I’m surprised you noticed it, Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth: “Oh, but that is only natural. For me, everything in that world that I can see, that I can touch, everything is something fresh and new, and everything is special. There is not a single thing there that is ‘trivial’ or ‘unnecessary’ to me.”
Leader: (understanding tone) “I see.”
Elizabeth: “Reality is equal to all. However, how one interprets it is dependant on the individual, and... dependant on you, as well.”
Leader: “It depends on the 'world within oneself'.”
Elizabeth: “Yes. If you lose sight of that, you will become one who is unable to see anything at all.”
Leader: “I’ll be careful. The reason I notice is because someone’s always pointing it out for me.”
Elizabeth: “That is indeed one way to take notice of it. My requests, as well, are the result of you bringing various things to my notice, and my subsequent desire to examine those things for myself, are they not?”
Leader: “Maybe so.”
Elizabeth: “Speaking of which, although you have managed to complete two more of my requests, are you interested in another? After all, they exist due to that which you, yourself, have brought to my attention.”
Leader: “So that’s what it comes down to in the end, is it?”
