>"Well, but you are back to your complete self now, so why not give it back ? It's a part of her after all."
>"W-Well... When I met Kokoro-chan for the first time... I... felt something else..." she fidgets a bit more. "Initially, I didn't want to let go of the mask because of the good feeling I felt from it... but later on... I-I honestly don't know what I was thinking... but... for some reason... I-I guess I wanted to keep that mask... that part of her... close to me..."
>About the masks, I mean.
>You only know that the masks are associated with her in some way. You also noticed that a mask depicting a different emotion tends to swap positions with the one on Kokoro's head occasionally, such as the accusatory one that she switched to when you met her and she asked if you were an enemy.
