Did you enjoy your bath?
I did. I'm getting used to getting ready and bathing by myself.
You're amazing, Shizuku~
You get the hang of everything so quickly!
It's thanks to everyone teaching me.
All right, let's dry your hair.
Shizuku, sit in front of me~
Okay, time to dry your hair!
Hair dryer on!
Raika... could I ask you something?
Your hair is so pretty, Shizuku~
We use the same shampoo,
but yours is so much fluffier somehow, Shizuku!
She can't hear me...
*Inhales*...
Raika. Could I ask you something?
Hmm? What is it~?
Why do you dry my hair every day?
You're right... Why do I?
Sorry for making you stop.
It's something I've been wondering about.
Whenever there's something I've never done before,
you teach me how.
But you've never taught me how to use a hair dryer
because you always dry my hair for me, Raika.
Hmm, I guess it's not that there's a reason...
It's just something I started doing...
I've been letting myself rely on you, too.
Nanny always used to dry my hair.
Your way of doing it is different, but they both make me sleepy sometimes.
Ah, I know!
I've fallen asleep while Granny was drying my hair too!
I'd sit on the same cushion you're on now,
with my head between Granny's knees, just like you, Shizuku.
Yeah. That warm, cozy feeling after a bath...
and the way she'd ruffle my hair. It just felt so nice...
Ah, that must be why!
I liked having Granny dry my hair.
Or maybe I just liked this time together.
We'd talk about what happened at school,
or sing together loud enough to drown out the hair dryer.
And sometimes fall asleep...?
Exactly! It was so comforting.
It felt like I could feel Granny's love
in the touch of her fingertips on my back.
I think that's why I wanted to do it for you too, Shizuku!
Now that I know why, I feel so much better~!
Okay, back to drying!
Hair dryer, switch on!
I'll put aaaall my love
into making your hair soft and silky, Shizuku~!
