Kanade

Phew... Quite a lot happened today.

2

Boy

I'm really sorry...
I didn't mean to cause you two so much trouble.

3

Boy

But I'm always having trouble, and making weird sounds. Because of that, I end up getting left out of performances...

4

Boy

I got so jealous...And frustrated. I started wondering why I'm so bad and they're so good...

5

Toya

If keeping a steady tone would be enough, I may be able to teach you.

6

Toya

If any part of you still wishes to produce beautiful music, then I implore you to not give up here.

7

Toya

Because you will be able to... Someday.

Kanade

Beautiful music...

9

Kanade

(To me, the performance Dad put on for us that day falls into that category.)

Kanade

Figuring out how to produce sounds the way he wanted wasn't easy...

11

Kanade

But I'm so glad that he didn't give up on playing the trumpet.

12

Kanade

(And he seemed so relieved by the time we said goodbye to each other.)

13

Kanade

(Like he'd found something he'd lost, and been searching ages for...)

14

Kanade

I feel a good melody coming together.

(This might be a bit too cheerful to be used for an N25 song...)

16

Kanade

(But it still sort of fits us as a group. It might even help me with our next song.)

17

Kanade

No, this sounds too pop...
I should probably lower the tempo a little, and the overall tone...

18

Kanade

It doesn't need to sound hip or trendy. I want it to feel pure, a bit juvenile and capture a hint of uncertainty. Also...

Kanade, what should we do for dinner?

It's coming along pretty well, but...

Kanade

(This song's a bit more invigorating than our usual ones.)

23

Kanade

(But it's enough for a rough demo, so I think I'll stop here for now...)

Mafuyu

Kanade, dinner's ready.

25

Kanade

Huh? You made dinner all by yourself, Mafuyu?

26

Mafuyu

You were so focused on what you were doing that you didn't hear anything I said earlier.

27

Kanade

Oh... I'm sorry for not noticing.

28

Mafuyu

Were you working on our next song?

29

Kanade

No. Remember the boy we met today?
I was composing a song based on him.

30

Kanade

Would you like to hear it?
Here, use my headphones.

31

Mafuyu

Okay...

32

Kanade

A good melody sort of started coming together in my head, so I worked on it a little. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to use it for an N25 song.

33

Mafuyu

...
Light...

34

Kanade

Huh?

35

Mafuyu

It's like he was able to find the light he'd been searching for, and he's embracing it tightly so as to not lose it.

36

Kanade

If that's what you heard, Mafuyu, then I guess that means I was able to turn my mental image into music.

37

Kanade

(Having that mental image is so vital...)

38

Kanade

(I doubt I would've been able to come up with this melody if that boy hadn't smiled the way he did at the end before we left.)

39

Mafuyu

...

40

Mafuyu

Thank you for showing this to me.

41

Kanade

You're welcome.

42

Kanade

Oh, also, you said that dinner's ready...?

43

Mafuyu

I heated up some of that braised fish.

44

Kanade

Thank you. Then, let's go eat.
