Ms. Yoisaki, I'm all done cleaning now.

I've also made enough food for two, so please feel free to eat it whenever you two like.

Thank you, Ms. Mochizuki.
I apologize for adding so much to your work order.

No, please don't let that bother you.
I do get paid more for doing this.

Anyway, if you'll excuse me...

So, um... How is Asahina doing?

Oh, she just fell asleep while working.
It's not like she isn't feeling well today.

Oh, I see. That's good to hear...

No, I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to pry or anything.

Please give her my regards.

Thank you. I'll do that...

(I really can't thank her enough...)

(Ms. Mochizuki was pretty startled when she learned that Mafuyu would be staying with me for a little while...)

Thank goodness...
She's sound asleep.

(Quite a lot of time has passed since Mafuyu first came over...)

(She seems okay whenever we're working together... But I've noticed her sinking from time to time.)

(I suppose it's only natural given her situation.)

(But isn't there anything else I can do for her...?)

(After speaking with Mafuyu's parents, and along with Ms. Mochizuki's help, she's been able to settle in nicely here.)

(But she can't stay here forever.)

(Once things actually settle down...
She has to talk to her dad. And her mom.)

(That's probably going to be incredibly painful for her...)

(Which is why I want to support her as best I can.)

(And the only thing I can do for her right now is to keep composing.)

(Still...)

(Is that going to be enough to save her...?)

(Listening to a song won't help resolve this situation. I can't save her from that person...)

(Which means composing won't be enough...)

(I have to do something more...)

<Kanade...>

Huh? Luka...?
Is something the matter?

<It's about time for you to bring a demo over for us to listen to, but you haven't been around to SEKAI at all.>

Oh...

Sorry, I'm still not happy with what I have.

<Oh...?>

<Is that the only reason?>

Huh...?

<Hehe. You don't have to answer now.>

<If you do feel stuck, then why don't you come over for a visit? A strange, new area just appeared.>

A strange, new area...?

<Yes. You haven't been there yet, right?
It may serve as good inspiration.>

...

Okay...

...

I'll be right back, Mafuyu.
I'm going to go take a quick look.

What's this new area like?

It doesn't quite fit into this SEKAI.
I'm sure you're going to be surprised.

I am...?

Huh...? This song...

It's one of yours, no?
You can hear it playing there from time to time.

Wait, really?
But why...?

Who knows? But you can tell while listening to it...

How Mafuyu needs your songs...

She needs my...?

They must mean quite a lot to her...

...

Does this mean I've actually been helping her?

Helping Mafuyu?

Yes...
I feel like this is evidence of that.

But I still haven't been able to save her...

Right now, I feel that I need to figure out a way to do more for her besides just composing songs.

Um, Luka...?

Luka...?

Wait, where'd she go...?

*Sob*

Huh...?

Is someone crying...? But where...?

*Sob*

Oh...

(A little girl...?)

(What's she doing here?
No one besides us should be able to enter SEKAI...)

(But something must've happened to make her cry... I should try to help her...)

Um... What's wrong?

...!
