Ai, would you mind helping me to think up a new Rina-chan Board?

Huh? Me?

Yes. I want to get better at expressing myself to everyone.

But there's only so much that I can come up with alone. That's why I wanted to get help from you. You're a master communicator.

A master is going a bit far! But I've gotta say, it's kinda nice to be told that.

Don’t you worry, Rinari! Your Rina-chan Board problems are as good as solved with me onBOARD! Get it?

Thank you!

As a starting off point, could you show me what kinda boards you have already?

Oho? What's this one? There're so many sweat drops on your face!

It's how I feel when I miss the train and worry that I'll be late. Rina-chan Board says, “Flustered.”

Right, of course! Then what's this delighted-looking one?

That's how I felt when I was at Chika's house and got to pet Shiitake. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo! Exciting!” She was so cute.

*Laugh* You sure do love animals, don't you, Rinari!

It's like you can remember exactly how you felt back then just by looking at your board. It's kinda like a picture diary.

You might have a point, now that you mention it. I can remember what I was feeling back then when I look at my boards.

I thought this while I was looking at them, but…

Rinari! You can express yourself perfectly!

Do you think so? I'm still not 100 percent confident that I can convey my feelings. At least, that's how I feel.

I feel the same way.

Really?

Yep. It's super tough to express your own emotions with 100% accuracy. I do my best to make it work too, hoping that the other person will just get it! You know?

I see. I assumed that a master of communication like yourself would never worry about those kinds of things.

No way, I totally do! And I'm no master!

So you worry about the same things that I do. I'll take my surprise at today's discovery and turn that into a board.

Oh, you thought of a new board?! Then I'll pay extra attention to make sure I understand how you feel, Rinari!
