I'm sorry, Mom...

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm sorry for making you cry and feel so sad.

Mafuyu

Listen

But...
5

Mafuyu

Listen

I want you to know how I really feel...!

Mafuyu

Listen

I've been in so much pain this entire time.
7

Mafuyu

Listen

You placed such high expectations on me, and I did my best to not disappoint you...
8

Mafuyu

Listen

The more I tried, the worse I felt...
Eventually, I began wondering if this is really what I wanted to do...
9

Mafuyu

Listen

But as I worked with Kanade and the others... Little by little, I began to understand...
10

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm beginning to realize what I truly want to do...!
11

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Mafuyu...?
12

Mafuyu

Listen

I know you're not going to like hearing this, Mom, but I... I don't want to lose them...
13

Mafuyu

Listen

I don't want to give up music, or not see them ever again...
14

Mafuyu

Listen

I don't want either of those things to happen...!

Mafuyu's Mother

16

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Why...?
17

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...?
18

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Why don't you understand what I'm trying to say...?

19

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

How many times do I have to tell you? Making music and being with your so-called friends... Those are just passing fancies.
20

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

If you keep running from the things that matter most, you're absolutely going to regret it later on...
21

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

It'll be too late by the time you realize that you should've studied a little harder back then.
22

Mafuyu

Listen

No, Mom, I understand that...
23

Mafuyu

Listen

But...
24

Mafuyu

Listen

But I need this...!
25

Mafuyu

Listen

Not just music...
26

Mafuyu

Listen

But Kanade and the others too...!
27

Mafuyu

Listen

I promise to keep studying!
In return for letting me do this, I promise to become the daughter that you'll be proud of!
28

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

And this is why I'm telling you that you don't understand!
29

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Buying you that computer, letting you use that blasted instrument... It was all a mistake!
30

Mafuyu

Listen

M-Mom...?
31

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I look away for one second and you start making your own music.
For two years, you hid so many things from me, neglected your studies and became “friends” with complete strangers you met on the internet!
32

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

If I had known this would happen, I would've never given you any of those things!
33

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...
34

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

You listen to me, Mafuyu...
35

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

That girl... She doesn't know what's best for you...
36

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I do!
37

Mafuyu

Listen

...!
38

Mafuyu

Listen

(Does she...?)
39

Mafuyu

Listen

(Is she really saying all these things because she wants what's best for me...?)

Mafuyu

Mizuki

Listen

Even after you get home, you probably won't be able to take your mind off things...
43

Mizuki

Listen

But we'll always be on your side.
So...
44

Mizuki

Listen

All of us in N25... We'll always be waiting for you in SEKAI!
45

Ena

Listen

I know things aren't gonna be easy now that your mom knows about N25, but...
46

Ena

Listen

You need to speak up if something really bothers you.
47

Ena

Listen

Because you're the only one who can protect yourself in the end...
48

Kanade

Listen

I remembered how my dad said that he wanted to make me and my mom smile by playing this song he wrote for us.
49

Kanade

Listen

When we heard it...
We couldn't help but smile and laugh.
50

Mafuyu

Listen

Smile and laugh...
51

Kanade

Listen

Yes, so...
52

Kanade

Listen

I want you to feel what I did. I want you to smile the way I did back then.

Mafuyu

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

I apologize for raising my voice like that...
72

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

But I'm sure you'll understand, Mafuyu.
73

Mafuyu's Mother

Listen

Because you're such a good, kind girl who I know will do the right thing.

When you think you've reached your limit, I say run. Get out while you can.

For your own sake, Mafuyu. You. No one else.

Mafuyu

Listen

(Get out while I can.)
82

Mafuyu

(But is it really okay for me to run...?)
83

Mafuyu

Listen

(If I do... What's going to happen to Mom...?)
84

Mafuyu

Listen

(If I leave her behind... She'll... I... But...)

Mafuyu's Mother

So, let's start over.
I promise to do what I can for you...
