It feels better to me, too!

... I guess I just like smaller things because it means you can't just get lost in the crowd.

Get lost in the crowd...?

[ he turns to look at her, confused ]

Maybe, but I think it's the host's job to make sure that doesn't happen. And... I dunno, I don't think you'd be the kind of person to get lost!!

Sometimes, when you're really sad, maybe it can feel like that, but...

Even if you have as many people as these parties have?

. . . I know I'm sad a lot, but it's not... because I feel lost. Or forgotten, or anything.

That's not what I mean.

Umm... Let me try to explain.

When you get sad, it feels like you make yourself smaller... maybe to deal with everything? But when you're like this, it's impossible to not see you. You're so bright?

... Oh.

[It's a dark theater, so maybe he can't see how red she is, but. Still.]

I—I try to be. Because I want to be.

Yeah!!

[ he cannot see, but at least, he thinks, this time? he's managed to explain himself well enough. ]

You are.

It's easier to be like that because you're here.

Eh? Me?

That makes me really happy to hear...!!

Sometimes, I'm not even sure I'd be able to deal with this place if it weren't for you.

Well, between the two of us, it works, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought to come watch a movie here at all.

And I'd definitely feel a lot lonelier.
