The Perfect Trio

 is an event in SINoALICE.

Parrah:

...

Noya:

......

Parrah:

Long time no see.

Noya:

Sorry for the sudden question, but can you read others' feelings?

Parrah:

It's difficult to know someone's feelings through shallow interactions.

Noya:

But for close friends or lovers...

Parrah:

I wonder how many would claim to know their feelings?

Noya:

Hell, there are probably times when you don't even know your own feelings.

Parrah:

Just when you feel like you really understand them,

Noya:

the next moment they're gone.

Parrah:

What is someone's heart, anyway?

Noya:

Why are those hearts so fickle?

Parrah:

This story explores just that topic.

Well, enjoy!

Verse 1
The three of us were always

 together .

We went to the restroom  together .

We ate ''' together. '''

No matter what, we were always

 together .

Bird was the smart one.

Snake was the strong one.

They were my very special  friends .

And that is why

my world was so  painful .

Verse 2
Everyone looks at these two

with such  admiration .

It was sheer fortune that

I could join such a group.

But being around  special 

ones such as they

makes me feel

very inferior.

"You can't even do that?

Bird could do this easily."

"You messed up again. Snake wouldn't

make

such basic mistakes."

I can't do anything right...

Verse 3
So many people are  jealous  of me.

I know that people  speak ill  of

me.

Yet they say all those things

without even knowing me...

"So irritating.

Thinking she knows best."

But with these two, somehow

I feel I can do things.

They make me  special , too.

That is why I will never  leave  them.

Verse 4
We should have always been together.

But those two have been keeping

a secret from me lately.

I  cannot forgive  them...

I will not forgive them for leaving me.

They were all that I had in the world.

Why would they forsake me?

How could they be so cruel?

There is nothing worse than being

 abandoned  by those you are

loyal to.

But now...

I'm sure they are  mocking  me.

Verse 5
Today I will hide and discover

 what they are up to .

Maybe they were the source of

the terrible rumors all along.

That would be so awful.

After regarding them as the most

 important  in my heart...

I will not rest until I have

 uncovered  the truth.

I want to know but I am scared.

So before I could learn the truth,

I ''' fled. '''

Verse 6
Being alone has made me

 love  them even more.

I truly wanted to be

 beside  them.

I wanted to have fun without a care.

Why am I so powerless?

Why am I so ignorant?

I am lacking in so many ways.

I just want to have what they have.

I want to be amazing.

I can't help the way I feel.

I wonder what it feels like to

be special from the time

you are born...

Verse 7
I know I have not

been in a good place.

But I don't know what to do.

The weather seems to reflect my inner

feelings.

...Then, I found it.

A shivering,  weak  existence...

I felt my cold heart

begin to thaw just a little.

Verse 8
No matter how much I scream

and  rage  that I can't do it.

No matter what awful things I

do, the ghosts follow me.

I was young when I first became aware of

them.

The ghost that lost her parents.

She can't do anything without me.

She just waits to be preyed on.

And so she was special to me.

She is the only one that me.

Here I am needed.

It feels like home.

Verse 9
Finally I found a

 place  where I could

be myself and

I could forget

my friends.

As long as I

have  her , my

life has meaning.

However, it's all a  lie .

The days I spent with

everyone still haunt me.

"Do they regret leaving me?

Do they feel  sorry ?"

"If they did apologize, would

I spend time with them again?

Verse 10
It's been some time since I came

to live with the stray ghost.

One morning, two familiar people visited

me.

"Hey! We've been worried!"

"Why did you just run away?!"

They had found me.

That should have been enough.

There was so much I wanted to say.

But I couldn't control the feeling

of inferiority deep inside.

"Isn't there something

you want to say?"

Once again I had failed...

"What happened?"

"We should solve our problems together."

They've always been like that.

They make it so clear

that, no matter what,

I can't do anything alone.

"Shut up!"

"You have no idea

how I feel!"

"Do you think I'm just

an accessory to make

you two look

even better?!"

"Wh-what's the problem?!"

"Calm down... Okay?"

"This isn't like you, Orc."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

"Then why did the two of

you meet in secret?!'

"I bet you make fun

of me when it's just

the two of you!"

"No!"

"Why would we do that?!"

"You have to trust us!"

"Really? Then close your eyes!"

"Prove it to me!"

They were so important to me.

I didn't really want to do this.

I truly am an idiot.

The Nightmare Trio:

Hahahaha! Ha!

What a bunch of idiots!

You don't know anything about me!

Thanks to Snake, I'm strong.

Thanks to Birdy, I'm wise.

I'm not powerless anymore!

They'll always, always be here for me!

We're the perfect trio.

As long as I have this power...

I can be just the way I've always wanted to be!

Verse 1
You haven't been happy lately.

So we thought of a way that

we could cheer you up.

We both care about you.

That  rumor  that has been going

around.

The groundless rumor that people have

been saying, that you're useless.

We thought that gossip must have

upset you and that's

why you  left  us.

Verse 2
We just wanted to hang out.

But maybe it wasn't' fun for

you if you were  comparing 

yourself to us.

So we thought maybe we

could play a game that

no one else had thought of.

"Yes! Let's learn to play an instrument!"

I thought Snake's idea

was great.

And I felt playing an  instrument 

fit Orc perfectly.

Verse 3
I smile at the image of

the three of us hanging out.

But Snake, who had always

been anxious,  had changed .

"If we get better than Orc,

maybe she'll feel inferior

again."

"We should adjust our practice

time so that doesn't happen."

Snake was always considerate of Orc

when we were together.

But it was exactly that sort of

kindness that had hurt Orc.

Verse 4
"No. Orc is

sensitive to that,

she'll definitely notice."

"Yeah... I really don't

understand how she feels."

"Sorry."

It's all right. I understand

everything about you two.

I can make you understand each other.

So you don't need to feel

lonely anymore, Orc.

Verse 5
There was something with

Orc that was lacking.

And society would not look past it.

Orc was a crybaby.

Orc was always alone.

We live in a system that easily

and  cruelly  rejected people.

That was what we wanted

to dismantle.

And that is why we reached

out to Orc.

It was the  start  of something.

Verse 6
I learned a lot when

hanging out with you, Orc.

Orc, you taught me that there

is good in everyone.

There were so many

good things about Orc.

She looked after little

lost birds, and she tried

to help those who were

weaker than her.

Orc seemed most happy and

alive when she was helping.

Verse 7
For Snake's birthday

Orc gave her a special

stone as a gift.

Snake just smiled and said

"that's pretty," without realizing

that her reaction  hurt  Orc.

Snake didn't realize that

it was a big thing for her

because she didn't have any friends.

It looked like nothing special to me,

but when I thought of Orc's

feelings it became a gemstone.

We were a  great  gang the three of

us,

understanding each other

without the need for words.

Verse 8
We spent time together.

We walked through the dense woods,

remembering our shared memories.

My body hurt but my heart felt light.

Soon we could be  back  to

our regular selves.

Even when I couldn't see

through the trees, I kept

moving forward.

We kept looking and looking.

Finally,  deep  in the woods,

I found Orc.

Verse 9
"I see. You were looking

after a lost child."

Snake seemed relieved and

 laughed  a little.

"That is so like you, Orc."

But I had worried too much as usual.

I wish that you hadn't kept a secret from

us.

If only you'd told us.

We would've helped.

Have you so little trust in us?

I thought you knew everything.

I felt a tight  pain  in my chest.

Verse 10
We wanted to speak

with Orc as soon as possible.

So we ran straight through the muddy

forest path.

I got the impression

that Orc was not only strong

but kind, too.

There was also Snake,

who was reliable and loved to surprise

people.

And me, who strikes a perfect balance

by respecting both of their contrasting

opinions.

The three of us were always together.

We even went to the restroom together.

And had meals together.

Whatever it was, the three of us did it

together.

"We're the perfect trio!"
