5. If you can exist on the story, in what scene do you want to appear? and what will the story be?

 I want to appear as Shizuku’s friend, because she loves read and sing. So, it’s happy for myself if I have a friend like her, spend a time with those activities. Well, I could read her first novel she has written, beside Seiji’s grandfather.
