Kotomi's cheeks turned red when Sunset held her hand. Sunset's red color glowed, and began to glow alongside another light that emanated from her own chest! A violet light, glowing brighter with her own irises... then, the colors seemed to merge into a warm magenta color...

"I... I am more than happy to be helping her all the same," Kotomi says as she feels the energy surge in, which felt a little like being suddenly hugged by a new friend, making Kotomi's own body warm up even with the onsen waters surrounding her. She felt like a charging battery.

"We... we both do have problems making friends and focusing too much on what we like. I will try to help her focused on good things... but... but I'm sorry if we end up becoming too hyperfocused on reading and experimenting..."

Kotomi's irises glowed a brighter purple the more magical charge she had coming in.
