| Azuma | …? |
| Muku | Mmm. |
 |
| Azuma | What’s the matter, Muku? |
| Muku | Ah, Azu nee-san! |
| I was thinking of taking the picture of my plushie I mentioned before. |
| I tried taking a good number of shots, but they’re not turning out right… |
| Azuma | Why don’t you try shooting it from this angle then? |
| Muku | …Like this? |
| Wow… the sunshine is spot on! |
| Thank you so much! |
| Azuma | You’re very welcome. |
| Is this the plushie you were talking about earlier? |
| Muku | Yes, this is William! |
| We’ve been together ever since I was young. |
| Azuma | Right, I do feel like I’ve seen him around here and there. |
| He’s well cared for and I can tell that he’s special to you just by looking at him. |
| Muku | …Thank you very much. |
| That’s great, right, William? |
| Azuma | —. |
| |
| *flashback starts* |
| |
| …Fufu. That’s great, right? |
| |
| *flashback ends* |
| |
| … |
| Muku | I-I’m so sorry! I started talking to him out of habit… |
| You must’ve been surprised that I suddenly started conversing with a stuffed animal… |
| Azuma | No, no, that’s not it. |
| When I saw you just now, I recalled I used to have a doll back at my house when I was a child as well. |
| Muku | Oh, you did? |
| Azuma | Yes. It was a cherished doll that my mother inherited from my grandmother. |
| I was very young, so my memories are hazy… |
| But I remember I talked to it and took pictures of it just like you did now. |
| Muku | You must have been great friends with that doll. |
| Azuma | That’s right. |
| But then one day, it disappeared off somewhere. |
| From my point of view, I think it’s amazing that you’re taking care of the plushie you’ve been with ever since you were a child even now. |
| Muku, you’re a kind-hearted boy who takes great care of things. |
| They say that dolls have souls, so I’m sure William is happy that you cherish him so much. |
| Muku | Ehehe… I’d be happy if that were true. |
| But I bet the doll you treasured was happy it met you too, Azu nee-san! |
| Azuma | Fufu. I hope so. |
