It wouldn't be pretend! You don't have to change anything about yourself, Shuuya. School is...it's own experience. It's not just clothes and books...It's an intangible. You're not any lesser for not going, but...Maybe I'd be a bad sister if I didn't try to open you up to things that might be good for you.
...Of course, the choice is up to you! Ahaha, I'm not forcing you to do anything! I promise, I promise!
School, ah, Nee-chan wasn't very good at it, but you're naturally smart! Plus, even if I wasn't the best at school, it gave me a lot of memories that I still treasure. It helped me become an adult! [finger point!!]
You and Tsubomi and Kousuke...You're all already so responsible and mature, but when you get older...It's a deep wish of mine that you all be as prepared as possible. Things make sense now, living in the sleepy summertime daydream of our youth, but...The things that we think we know can only get us so far. Careers, relationships, family...I want my siblings to get the most they can out of life.
[She briefly pats Shuuya's cheek and smiles, channeling the way her Mother used to smile at her at night in bed.]
You don't need to be hiding away from the world. Whether it be here, at home, or in the Mekakushi Dan.
