All right, we're gonna start with some running today as well! Hey, you ready?

Yes, I'm fully prepared.

Kasumi, if you go that hard from the very start, you'll tire yourself out.

Little Puppy doesn't know the limits of her own stamina.

I am not a puppy!

Hmm… Huh? You're not ready yet, Rinako?

Oh… Actually, I have to talk to Rina about something. Could you go ahead on your run?

Okay, we'll go on ahead.

…………

[Fade in/out.]

What did you want to talk to me about?

I didn't actually have anything in mind, sorry! It's just…you've seemed kind of down lately.

…I really can't hide anything from you, can I?

Do you mind if I ask you something, then? Should I get rid of the Rina-chan Board?

Huh…?

At first, that board was supposed to help me with things I had trouble with. But now, it's like a precious friend to me.

It's thanks to the Rina-chan Board that I've been able to connect with everyone.

But if I can manage without it now, maybe it's best if you take it.

Which version of me do you prefer? With or without the board?

I like both! Or rather, you're both the same Rina!

Like I said before, I see them both as your true self, so if you want to use it, that's fine. If you don't need it anymore, that's fine too.

Whether it's with or without the board, you're still just as charming either way.

…I see. Yeah, you're right.

The board is just one part of me. Asagi made it for me, and I love it, so I want to use it.

I'm sure everyone who supports me would say the same as you, that they don't mind if I use the board or not.

Of course!

I'm so glad I asked you. I feel so much better. I'm in the mood for some running now!

(That's a relief… Rina looked so happy!)
