Phew, it's really gotten cold lately…

Kariiin!

Oh, Ruby.

Were you waiting long?

Nah, I just got here.

That's good.

Sorry for saying I wanted to see you out of nowhere.

Oh, don't be like that. I'm delighted to have gotten an invitation from you.

Now, what's wrong? Want some advice from your big sis?

Um… I want you tell me about skincare.

Hehe, sure thing! This cold weather really does wreak havoc on your skin, doesn't it?

Yeah! I think the cold days are why my skin's dried out all of a sudden.

Ah-ha. I see.

But you saying it happened all of a sudden has me thinking.

It looks like your lips are a little dry too. I wonder if it's not just the cold that's causing it?

Have you changed any of your living habits lately?

Changed?

It could be anything. For example, if there's a food you've been obsessed with lately, or if you're sleeping less than usual.

Sleeping less…

Actually, lately I've been so busy making the next costumes that sometimes I stay up all night thinking about them.

I see. And is there anything else?

Um… Since I can't come up with good design ideas, my mind starts racing before I go to bed, and I don't sleep very well…

I see. That must be tough.

Hmm… Well, taking care of your skin is important, but…

I know! Are you free next weekend, Ruby?

Huh? Yeah. I don't have practice that day…

Then will you let me have you for that day?

I have a great idea to solve your problem!
