Suzu-chan, that's mean.

[ But despite her words, it doesn't sound like she's being at all scolding and there's still a smile on her face. ]

I'm sure Ouka-chan's working and working as hard as she can, you know.

[ ................ she says that, but she's not denying that she has certain charms that Ouka unfortunately lacks. A--are you sure Suzu's the only one being mean here, Sonico?! ]

It's a shame she couldn't come and meet everyone though... I'll be seeing her and Manager-san soon but... it would've been nice for them to be here. I don't know if we're all going to be together again anytime soon and there's so, so many important people I need you to meet, Suzu-chan.

[ Not want. Need. She needs Suzu to meet and speak to these people, to get to know and hopefully like them before Sonico has to taint their image by telling Suzu exactly what it was that brought them together. She has no intentions of divulging everything -- they aren't her truths to tell -- but she certainly isn't going to lie. She thinks Suzu deserves that much. ]
