...I mean, I was...

...mostly just lonely.

You don't have to be. You never have to be again.

Re: OUTSIDE

[softlyfalling]

I wonder, but...

Re: OUTSIDE

[wonderlandgirl]

Being alone is okay. But not lonely. Lonely is just... sad.

You shouldn't have to be sad.

Re: OUTSIDE

...Nero and I can't go home together, Wednesday.

Re: OUTSIDE

[wonderlandgirl]

I don't think Levi-kun and I can, either.

But there has to be something to go back to. There has to be. Because if there isn't... why couldn't you?

Re: OUTSIDE

[softlyfalling]

There is, I just...

...well, it's true that I want a simple life. I want to help things grow rather than cut things out of the world.

I just don't know how to have a future.

Re: OUTSIDE

[wonderlandgirl]

I don't think it's a thing you have to know. Just wanting one is enough. I mean, I'm not sure what I'll do after I graduate.

For-real graduate, I mean. At home.

[Does she mean that?]

Re: OUTSIDE

[softlyfalling]

Ah... from your real idol program...?

I guess—well, most people have their lives settled by their twenties, where I come from.

I didn't really think about, well—having to start figuring things out then.

Re: OUTSIDE

[wonderlandgirl]

Mm. At most... I've probably got about nine years? After that - well, a lot depends on how successful we are. There's always voice work? I could look into that, though I'd have to get better at acting. And maybe by then I'll just want to get married, anyway...

Ah, sorry. It doesn't matter right now. But it's not a bad thing, not knowing quite where you'll end up.

Re: OUTSIDE

[softlyfalling]

...I guess so.

[ and she does finally seem to... actually cheer up, a bit.

she tugs on Wednesday's hand. ]

Want to go home?

Re: OUTSIDE

[wonderlandgirl]

Then, let's go back together.
