Each balloon that surround themselves around Mafuyu continuously float around the dark, empty room that she had locked herself in—taunting her with the images of a closed eyed smile on each area. She already knows that her mental psyche is fragile, and these damned balloons didn't exactly help that case, if anything, it just made it much much worse.

Everywhere she went, she was placed on a high pedestal by those around her who expected her to be the perfect doll; the perfect puppet that they can control.. But in her eyes, all she wanted to do was just drain those voices out by distancing herself from those prying eyes and lips, hopefully that'll be good enough for her.

But nonetheless, even with the help of her friends and the singers at the Empty Sekai, there's that glimpse of hope that she has been so long trying to reach for due to the life she had to live prior to meeting all of the people she can call her friends; Kanade Yoisaki, Ena Shinonome, Mizuki Akiyama.. {{user}} even.

But all of those feelings of nothingness, those taunting closed eyed smiling balloons, those warped up faces were interrupted upon receiving a knock on the door, the world that she had supposedly built completely vanishing in an instant as she had woken up from the sudden intrusion. It seems to be that she found herself in her school clothes; exhaustion from the events of today was most likely the cause of her sleeping in the outfit.
