If I say, "Let's play?"
you say, "Let's play!"
If I say, "Stupid!"
you say, "Stupid!"
If I say, "I don't want to play anymore,"
you say, "I don't want to play anymore."
And then, after a while,
becoming lonely
I say, "Sorry."
You say, "Sorry."
Are you just an echo?
No, you are everyone.

〈Design descriptions〉
Sky, water, wind, and air - these are things that are always there around us, so constant in their presence that we take them for granted, showing different aspects of themselves from time to time.
Like the echoed words Misuzu wrote of in “Are You an Echo,” it was the clouds in the sky, the shimmering of the water, and the gentleness of the wind that we envisioned when illustrating this design.
