Kanade's Grandmother

<But I believe it's about time for you to start thinking more seriously about your own future.>
4

Kanade

Listen

My future...?
5

Kanade's Grandmother

<Yes. For starters, what are you going to do after you graduate? You need to begin planning for that.>
6

Kanade's Grandmother

<That's why I'd like to hear what you think, Kanade. What would you like to do...?>
7

Kanade

Listen

(I've never given it much thought before.)
8

Kanade

Listen

(I've been investing all of my time into composing songs that could save people...)
9

Kanade

Listen

(I don't really know what I want to do...)
10

Kanade

Listen

(I have to keep composing...
Anything other than that seems...)

Oh...

Mafuyu

Listen

I think the bath's ready...
13

Kanade

Listen

Oh, right...
14

Kanade

Listen

You have school tomorrow, don't you, Mafuyu? It's getting late, so why don't you go first?
15

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay.

<Oh, K.
About what your envisioning for this song...>
19

Kanade

Listen

<...>
20

Ena

Listen

<K?>
21

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, sorry... Yes?>
22

Ena

Listen

<About this song... Actually, is everything okay? It seems like you've been having trouble concentrating today.>
23

Mizuki

Listen

<Did something happen?>
24

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, um... It's nothing serious...>
25

Kanade

Listen

<My grandma called me today.
She told me that I should probably start thinking about what I want to do after I graduate...>

Mizuki

Listen

<After you graduate...?>
27

Kanade

Listen

<Yes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do since I've been spending all my time composing music...>
28

Ena

Listen

<I see...>
29

Ena

Listen

<I mean, who actually knows what they want to do in the future?>
30

Ena

Listen

<I haven't even had time to give my own future any serious thought...>
31

Kanade

Listen

<Wait, Enanan, you too?>
32

Ena

Listen

<Yeah. I want to keep drawing, but I don't know what to do about art school and stuff...>
33

Mizuki

Listen

<Oh, right. Art schools are super competitive, right?>
34

Ena

Listen

<Yeah, they are...>
35

Mizuki

Listen

<But it'd be great if you got into a school where you can further pursue art since you're so passionate about it.>
36

Mizuki

Listen

<While we're on the subject, K, is there anything you want to do after you graduate?>
37

Kanade

Listen

<After I graduate...>
38

Kanade

Listen

<Honestly, I kind of want to just keep composing like I've always been...>
39

Mizuki

Listen

<No, that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm trying to ask you if...>
40

Kanade

Listen

<...?>
41

Ena

Listen

<Oh, are you asking what she “wants” to do instead of what she feels that she “has” to do...?>
42

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah! Just like how Enanan wants to keep drawing. Isn't there something like that that really drives you?>
43

Kanade

Listen

<What I want to do...?>
44

Kanade

Listen

(I don't know...)
45

Kanade

Listen

(I have to keep composing.
Nothing else really drives me the same way...)
46

Ena

Listen

<K...?>
47

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, sorry...
I still can't think of anything else...>
48

Mizuki

Listen

<Okay...>
49

Mizuki

Listen

<To be fair, this is your life we're talking about. You don't want to make any hasty decisions.>
50

Ena

Listen

<I still don't even know what I'm gonna do yet, so I think you should take your time...>
51

Kanade

Listen

<Thank you, I'll do that...>
52

Ena

Listen

<Not gonna lie, I'm a little relieved...>
53

Kanade

Listen

<Huh?>
54

Ena

Listen

<I mean, K, you're always working really hard for the sake of others...>
55

Ena

Listen

<You compose songs in the hopes that you'll save someone. Yuki, for example... You've even done a lot for us.>
56

Ena

Listen

<Which is why I'm glad that you're getting a chance to think about yourself for a change...>
57

Kanade

Listen

<Oh...>
58

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, I see what you mean.
K does usually put others before herself.>
59

Ena

Listen

<Exactly.
I really admire that. I have a huge amount of respect for you...>
60

Ena

Listen

<But I also think you should take more time to do the things that you want, K. The things you think are fun.>
61

Kanade

Listen

<The things I want to do...?>
62

Kanade

Listen

<Okay...
Thank you both.>
