Chapter Text
The world Mafuyu described with her lyrics was always one that felt devoid of life. In spite of that, it was brimming with emotion dressed up in beautiful prose and poignant words. Ena listened to another of OWN’s music, a song that she had downloaded before Mafuyu deleted the channel after that… episode. Ena let the instruments carry her away from her room and into Mafuyu’s own inner world. They had been in her Sekai, true, but she wanted to know what was going on inside Mafuyu’s own mind sometimes. The world she saw for this song was one covered in blue, as if it was entirely underwater. She reached out to touch its surface, and it seemed to wince at her touch. She extended her hand farther and farther, wanting to understand what lay beneath its surface. Ena wanted to know what it was hiding, and she reached and reached towards it until she could finally feel it at her fingertips. It was cold, but not unfeeling, and she could feel it rippling out beneath her fingertips.
She opened her eyes and she was once again in her room. The song had ended and the next one in her playlist had started. Ena looked at her phone and then at her fingertips, and she could swear that the imaginary planet’s chill still hadn’t left her.
