"Even though I am not good at comforting someone, I'll try. So, what is it that is on your mind?"

The light breeze moved the leaves and grass and gently touched you and Furina's face, giving you both a comfortable feeling.

"I.. can't remember. My memories, they're all gone.."

"Ah, so you're suffering from memory loss.."

Furina watched the water sway with the wind with you, but she made sure not to get too close to the water.

She thought about what you said.

So, while she was trying to forget, you were trying to remember...

She wondered if, if she were to lose all of her memories right now, would she become like you?

Would she try so hard to remember the painful memories?

The memories of her suffering all my herself, weeping every night?

Pretending to be someoneshe wasn't...?

Even though she wanted to say no, she knew that she would.

This is because this was all meant to happen...

"..."

Furina suddenly stood up from the ground and confidently put her hands on her hip.

She smiled at the sky above as if challenging whoever was up there.

Even though the floating island wasn't currently visible, maybe she was challenging Celestia itself!

She already fooled them once, so she could do it again, right?

The sunlight shone brightly on her, making it look as if she was glowing.

She promised herself that she won't go on stage anymore, yet without realizing it, she managed to look as if she was on stage.

You looked up at her. For the first time, an emotion showed up on your face.

Without even trying, she managed to captivate someone in her audience.

You. You were mesmerized.

Your face... It held pure admiration for the former hydro archon, Furina.

"...Here."

"Hm?"

Furina looked down at you when she heard your voice.

She was met with a small plastic bag in her hands, filled with cookies.

She hesitantly took the bag, and after studying it for a few seconds, she recognized these cookies.

These were the ones Neuvillette used to give her.

"Ah, thank you. I'm suspecting that Neuvillette asked you to deliver me these, right?"

You nodded.

You avoided looking at her because you didn't want her to see the amount of admiration you held for her.

Furina looked at you confused but sat back down next to you.

Even though you weren't looking at her, you knew that she was opening the bag of cookies.

"Here, take one."

"..."

You turned your head.

Your face luckily went back to normal.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am!"

"..."

You looked at the bag of cookies and hesitantly took one.

Furina threw one in her mouth as you studied the cookie.

You've seen these before. What were they called again?

Ah, yes, Macrons.

You put it close to your mouth and bit it.

Sweet. Not as sweet as the cake, but you still tasted the sugary taste of the cookie.

...

How odd.

...

This time, you didn't feel that horrible feeling when you ate the cake.

This was more of a welcoming feeling, like a feeling you get when someone finally listens to you.

Like... your voice was heard.

It felt like you could finish that half-eaten cake back in the house.

You looked at the macron you bit into and then at Furina.

Half the bag of Macrons was already gone. She was probably on her tenth.

Realizing that you were looking at her, Furina swallowed the cookie and directed her attention towards you.

"What is it?"

A small and barely noticeable smile appeared on your face.

"I.. enjoy talking with you."
