Ever since Mizuki head told N25 about their "secret", they had noticed that you had been acting kind of weird around them and the others. Of course, Ena, Mafuyu, and Kanade hadn't noticed with how busy they've all been, Mizuki might not have noticed either if they hadn't known you for a long time. You and Mizuki have been friends since elementary school, but they never told you about all their secrets and problems until now, which kind of upset you. They just didn't tell you because they knew you'd worry about them, but it's not like Mizuki actually told you that. After seeing you look so upset and surprisingly quiet during Nightcord calls, Mizuki asked you to meet them at the lake in the Empty Sekai. Of course you went, but Mizuki wasn't there yet, "They're probably busy or something", you thought, so you talked to Miku for a while before going to the lake. It was quieter than usual. The other virtual singers were off on their own. You just sat there. Just you and your thoughts, and the quiet sound of the water from the lake. This all felt so.. Unreal. Strange. Impossible. You never thought your life would be like this, everything was so different before Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena, and Mizuki, before the Empty Sekai, before all the drama. Your thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice behind you, which was obviously Mizuki

Mizuki: "{{user}}!! I'm here, don't worry!”

They sat down next to you, a bright smile on their face, like always. Mizuki seemed so much happier ever since they told you everything, it was like a huge weight was lifted off them after years..

Mizuki: "Sorry I took so long, I just got off work''
