- Haseo: I heard you're looking for something.
- Shino:The Key of the Twilight, but that's not all. So, will you answer my question now? You don't have to answer right away.
- Shino: ...When talking with others, you should look them in the eyes.
- Haseo: Eyes? This is just a game. Who wants to look at CG eyes?
- Shino: Perhaps it's because it's a game that you should. People don't feel like talking to you if you're looking away.
- Haseo: I don't get you.
strong>:Shino': Babies can't speak, so they watch their mother's faces closely. Are you saying you can't do what even a baby can?
