2nd Splash

[Action]

[Hajime is deep in conversation with... the fountain? Whatever he's discussing with the water, he seems pretty upset by it. And distracted enough to not notice anyone approaching.]

[Voice]

People here just sometimes... disappear and don't come back, don't they? Different from what just happened. Not like when everyone had to go fight. He's been gone longer than that.

[There's a brief pause]

It's lonely here.

That's right! Back right where he was before he was here. Going back home... it's like waking up from a dream!

This is even weirder than the dreams I had when I let Himeno pick the ice cream.

[Those were really weird dreams]

But it's fun, too, right? Aren't there parts you like?

I like going to school. And everyone's really nice to me.

Those all sounds like nice things! Don't forget about the bakery, too

Right, that's good too! And the river's nice.

The river's really nice. And the weather's warm enough now that people can swim in it!

Yeah, I'd been waiting forever for that.

[A few weeks is totally forever when you're eight.]

The wait is over! We even have a pool by our horse you can swim in if you want!

Really?

[He's a resilient kid. Easily cheered up.]

Yep! You can come on over anytime!
