Mafuyu

Listen

I'm back...
2

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Oh, welcome back.
You're home late.
3

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm sorry...
I needed some time to think...
4

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I see...
Well, things have been a little hectic lately.
5

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...
6

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I wanted to apologize for going a little too far yesterday. So, I made the beef stew you like so much for dinner.
7

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I bought some higher-quality meat than usual, so I'm sure it turned out very nicely. Eat as much as you like.
8

Mafuyu

Listen

...
9

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Mafuyu...?
10

Mafuyu

Listen

Before that, there's something I need to tell you...

11

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Something to tell me? Yes, what is it...?
12

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm sorry for hiding so many things from you until now...
13

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm sorry for continuing to make music after saying that I'd stop, and not telling you about my finals...
14

Mafuyu

Listen

I know that you're worried about me, and you have every right to be angry.
15

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Mafuyu...
16

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I apologize as well...
17

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

But I'm glad you finally understand.
18

Mafuyu

Listen

...
19

Mafuyu

Listen

So...
20

Mafuyu

Listen

I need to ask you something.
21

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Yes?
22

Mafuyu

Listen

Um...
23

Mafuyu

Listen

I promise to study as hard as I can... So please...
Let me keep making music with Kanade and the others.
24

Mafuyu

Listen

I'll make sure my grades won't slip.
You don't have to worry.
25

Mafuyu

Listen

Please...
26

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Mafuyu...
27

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

If you're willing to say this much...
28

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

This music you make must mean quite a lot to you.
29

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh...
30

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, it's very important to me! So...!
31

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I see...
32

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I agree that you have a wonderful hobby. So, I'm not against your wish to continue with it.
33

Mafuyu

Listen

You aren't...?
34

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Yes, of course.
35

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

But...
36

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Is now really the time for that?

Mafuyu

Listen

...
38

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

This goes without saying, Mafuyu...
You know that you have to make sacrifices if you really wish to get accepted into medical school.
39

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

What do you think is going to happen if you don't put all of your energy into your entrance exams?
40

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Your peers are all doing everything in their power to maintain good grades, while yours are slipping...
41

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

At this rate, Mafuyu, you won't be able to make your dream come true.
42

Mafuyu

Listen

My dream...?
43

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Yes, that's right.
Your dreams mean everything to you, yes?
44

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

So, for now, you'll just have to be patient, and study and work towards that goal...
45

Mafuyu

Listen

Mom...
46

Mafuyu

Listen

I... I...
47

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm not sure if I actually want to become a doctor...
48

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Huh...?
49

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

What do you mean?
It's always been your dream to become a doctor. That's why you've been studying so hard.
50

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

It's why you've been attending cram school and staying up late each night...
51

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I admire doctors greatly since they save people's lives and help those in pain...
52

Mafuyu

Listen

I'd also be able to live very comfortably and not have to worry about my finances...
53

Mafuyu

Listen

So, I understand why someone would want to become a doctor.
54

Mafuyu

Listen

But...
55

Mafuyu

Listen

But I...

56

Mafuyu

Listen

I want to do more for others...
57

Mafuyu

Listen

I want to be right by their side when they're in pain...
58

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

But... You can do that as a doctor, no...?
59

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, that's true...
60

Mafuyu

Listen

But... I don't think I actually want to become one...
61

Mafuyu

Listen

I...
62

Mafuyu

Listen

Mom, do you remember what happened when I was little?
63

Mafuyu

Listen

I caught a cold and you stayed by my side until I got better.
64

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

When you were little...?
65

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes. I know now that the medicine the doctor prescribed helped me get better...
66

Mafuyu

Listen

But more than that... The way you stayed by my side... It filled me with so much warmth...
67

Mafuyu

Listen

Which is why I want to help others the same way... I want them to feel that warmth...
68

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Mafuyu...
69

Mafuyu

Listen

So, I...
70

Mafuyu

Listen

I want to spend more time finding a dream that suits me better...
71

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

...
72

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I see. Now I understand, Mafuyu.
73

Mafuyu

Listen

Mom...?
74

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

How can you say such a thing...?
75

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

How did things end up like this...?

76

Mafuyu

Listen

What...?
77

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Mafuyu, you spent so much time studying and working so hard to become a doctor...
78

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

But now... You want to give up... You're willing to let some passing fancy derail you...
79

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

And that girl is definitely to blame.
80

Mafuyu

Listen

...!
81

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

She only seems to do as she pleases without studying or going to school...
82

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

You felt some admiration for that lifestyle, didn't you, Mafuyu...?
83

Mafuyu

Listen

N-No...
84

Mafuyu

Listen

Kanade has nothing to do with this...
Mom, I...
85

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Don't cover for her.
86

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

This would've never happened if I supported you more properly...
87

Mafuyu

Listen

What...
88

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I'm sorry, Mafuyu...
89

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I know I've sounded overbearing at times and kept you from doing certain things...
90

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

As a result, I was probably much harder on you compared to other mothers.
91

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

However, I did it all for your sake...
92

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I was only thinking about you having a happy and fulfilling future...
93

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Because... That's what will make me happy...

Mom, please...
Don't cry...

Mafuyu

I... I didn't mean to hurt you...
This wasn't what I wanted...
98

Mafuyu

Listen

I was just trying to tell you how I feel...

Mafuyu
