Part 1

Kanade's Room
1
Kanade
No, this doesn't sound right either...
It needs to be more like a soft whisper...
2
Kanade
(It's not the sound I imagined when I made this demo...)
3
Kanade
(Even after having everyone listen to it in SEKAI...)
4
Mizuki
Huh? Kanade! Mafuyu!
You two hardly ever come here at the same time!
5
Mafuyu
I found some time to work...
Also, Kanade wanted to hear what I thought about her new demo.
6
Kanade
Yes.
We even sent messages to both of you.
7
Mizuki
Oh, you're right!
We were having so much fun talking that we didn't notice at all...
8
Kanade
(Come to think of it, Mizuki and the others said that they were talking about what happened in the past.)
9
Kanade
(After Ena and Mizuki joined, more people began listening to our songs as they were turned into music videos.)
10
Kanade
(Just as when I invited Mafuyu, I'm glad that I invited them to work with us.)
11
Kanade
Oh, I need to keep working...
12
Kanade
The demo itself seemed to be going in a good direction... So it could be an issue of some chords not being in the right places...
13
Kanade
Hm...?
14
Mafuyu
<K, it's time.>
15
Kanade
Huh? Oh, she's right...
16
Kanade
<Sorry for being late, everyone.>
17
Ena
<You're fine. It's only been like five minutes.>
18
Mizuki
<What? Whenever I'm even a little late, you always get super mad.>
19
Ena
<Huh? I'm not gonna feel sad or lonely if someone's late by just five minutes.>
20
Mafuyu
<Really...?>
21
Ena
<Really.>
22
Ena
<Still, K, it's pretty rare for you to be running late. Were you trying to focus just now?>
23
Kanade
<Oh, um... Yes, sort of...>
24
Kanade
<I was working on that demo I had you all listen to the other day, but I'm having trouble getting it to sound the way I originally imagined.>
25
Mizuki
<Oh, that song? I thought it was pretty good when you had us listen to it...>
26
Ena
<Yeah, same. I was under the impression that you pretty much had a complete picture in your head for it.>
27
Kanade
<Yes, I thought so too...
I had a good idea of what I wanted to do...>
28
Kanade
<But for some reason, what I had in my head isn't quite meshing with the melody I've been getting. Almost like I've been entering the wrong things...>
29
Mafuyu
<Is there an issue with the chord progression...?>
30
Kanade
<That was the first thing I tried tinkering with, but it turned out not to be the case...>
31
Mafuyu
<I see...>
32
Ena
<Yuki, isn't there anything you can think of concerning this...?>
33
Ena
<I mean, you're the only one besides K who actually knows anything about songwriting, right?>
34
Mafuyu
<...
Mind if I listen to it again, K?>
35
Kanade
<Yes, of course. You too, Enanan, Amia. Please let me know if anything comes to mind.>
36
Ena & Mizuki
<Okay!>
37
Mizuki
<We came up empty in the end...>
38
Ena
<Sorry, K. I wish we could be of better help...>
39
Kanade
<No, that's okay. Thanks to all of you, I think I have a better idea of what I need to do.>
40
Mafuyu
<So, K, the rest is up to you...>
41
Kanade
<Yes... I'll do my best to come up with some good ideas.>
42
Mizuki
<Hey, I know!>
43
Mizuki
<K, there's something I wanna try doing if you don't mind hearing me out. What do you say?>
44
Kanade
<Huh...?>
