-The voice on the other end is... tired. Weak from fasting. But probably from spending days upon days crying in her room as well. No one is keeping score.-

If my miracle powers were working... I could solve this famine. Why won't they work? Why can't I do any good here?

... I really am just taking up space, aren't I? A waste of everyone's time...

I want to go with someone who hasn't been, so far, since everyone else is so busy. Besides, it doesn't have to be all work — we can cook something for ourselves on the spot, like a picnic or camping trip. I'll make it fun, just give me a chance!

I don't want to go.

All right, Sanae. I'll be sure to bring a share by the shrine once I've come back. [ She doesn't seem her usual upbeat self, but she won't force the issue. ] Just keep my words in mind, and I hope you feel better. Take care of yourself, okay?

[ Try is just what she was wanting Sanae to do. With a final smile and a little wave, Subaru is gone from the mirror. ]
