Mafuyu

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu, what's wrong?!
3

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa, you're burning up...!
4

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes. I'm just feeling a little lightheaded...
5

Ena

Listen

That hardly counts as being okay.
Ugh, there really aren't any dull moments when it comes to you...
6

Kanade

Listen

Let's postpone this discussion until after Mafuyu's fever breaks...
Mizuki's Room

7

Mizuki

Listen

(Mafuyu catching a cold...
Can't really say that I saw that coming.)
8

Mizuki

Listen

(But she has been staying later than me and Ena lately, so she might've been more fatigued than she was letting on...)
9

Mizuki

Listen

I hope she gets better soon.
10

Mizuki

Listen

Also, I'm bored...
I'm pretty much done with everything I needed to do today.
11

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, I know...!

12

Mizuki

Listen

Now, where did Rin run off to...?
13

???

Listen

Oh...?
14

Mizuki

Listen

Hm? Oh, hey, Luka! I'm back...!
15

Luka

Listen

Welcome, Mizuki.
Oh, what's that you have there...?
16

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, this? It's a corsage.
I was thinking that it'd look great on Rin♪
17

Luka

Hehe. What a cute lace pattern.
Its bright coloring should make it a nice accent piece.
18

Mizuki

Listen

I know, right♪
19

Mizuki

Listen

There isn't much to work on today too, so I was hoping to give this to her...
20

Mizuki

Listen

Do you happen to know where Rin is, Luka?
21

Luka

Listen

Yes, I saw her just now.
Would you like me to show you where?
22

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, thanks...
23

Luka

But before I do, let's chat just a little while longer...
24

Mizuki

Listen

You wanna chat...?
25

Mizuki

Listen

Okay, sure. Why not?
26

Luka

Listen

Thank you. Now then...
27

Luka

Before Mafuyu became ill, didn't you mention how you couldn't wait to see what kind of lyrics she writes for Kanade's song?
28

Luka

Do you remember what we talked about?

Mizuki

Listen

I mean, it was so good!
Like K's reached a whole new level!
30

Mizuki

Listen

I can't wait to see what kind of lyrics you write for this song, Mafuyu!
31

Mafuyu

Listen

...
32

Luka

Listen

Oh, I see...
33

Luka

She's found the key to the door that she's been searching for, but doesn't know where the keyhole is, maybe?
34

Mafuyu

Listen

I just don't understand...
35

Mafuyu

Listen

I kept running circles in my head thinking about why your song made me smile, Kanade...
36

Mafuyu

Listen

Something welled up inside my chest that time. That's probably what made me smile.
37

Mafuyu

Listen

But I don't understand why that happened... I just don't know.
38

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, I do...!
I remember.
39

Mizuki

Listen

Your analogy about finding a key but not knowing where the keyhole is really stuck with me.
40

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Thank you.
41

Luka

I actually pondered over that a little after you all left.
42

Luka

Not just about how Mafuyu can express herself, but how all of you might be able to as well.
43

Mizuki

Listen

Really? That might be pretty cool!
Any ideas?
44

Luka

Listen

Well, the first thought I arrived on has to do with you...
45

Mizuki

Listen

With me?
46

Luka

Yes. If I were to describe what you're feeling right now, Mizuki...
47

Luka

Listen

I'd say that your door is a much more reserved one, no?
48

Mizuki

Listen

Reserved...?
49

Luka

Yes. In such a way that it's able to blend in and cause you to forget that it's even there.
50

Mizuki

...
51

Luka

Listen

Or rather, it's unable to say what it wishes to and is hoping to be found...
52

Luka

But...
53

Luka

It's also afraid that others won't accept it...
54

Luka

Listen

No, wait, there are some...
55

Mizuki

Listen

Haha. It's not exactly fair if you keep changing your statements based on how I react.
56

Luka

Oh, darn.
57

Mizuki

Listen

I mean, it looked like you were trying to drill holes into my head with your eyes just now.
58

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I was simply trying to see what lies beyond that smile of yours.
59

Luka

(Now I see...)
60

Luka

(MEIKO refuses to approach them because of what she believes is the best way to operate...)
61

Luka

Listen

(But knowing that she won't get any answers simply by asking may be playing a significant role as well.)
62

Luka

Thank you, Mizuki.
I enjoyed this little chat.
63

Mizuki

Listen

You're welcome♪
We can talk again later when we both have a little more time.
64

Luka

Listen

Yes, I'd like that.
65

Luka

But you were looking for Rin, yes?
I last saw her somewhere over there.
66

Mizuki

Listen

Great! Thanks, Luka!
67

Luka

Listen

You're welcome.
Also...
68

Luka

Please feel free to ask for a little push if you'd like to find a way to move forward as Kanade has.
69

Luka

I'd like to help free you of whatever's holding you back.
70

Mizuki

Listen

Haha...
71

Mizuki

Listen

When that time comes, I will.
72

Luka

Listen

And I'll be looking forward to that moment.

73

Mizuki

Listen

(I really don't think that's a good idea, Luka...)
74

Mizuki

Listen

(I'm already walking a tightrope as it is...)
75

Mizuki

Listen

One bad push and that really might be it for me.
76

Mizuki

Listen

...
77

Mizuki

Listen

Anyway, I need to find Rin...
