The Way I Played That Day

Two hours later
1
Mizuki
<Hnng... It's three in the morning already? I might go to bed...>
2
Ena
<Now? Much earlier than usual.>
3
Mizuki
<I want to keep working until morning, but I was told that I need to be at school tomorrow.>
4
Mizuki
<Also, Enanan, if you really wanna go to art school, shouldn't you start working on being able to wake up in the morning?>
5
Ena
<Y-Yeah... I probably should...>
6
Mizuki
<Haha! Anyway, I'm gonna log off.
Night, everyone!>
7
Kanade
<Good night.>
8
Ena
<See you tomorrow.>
9
Mafuyu
<I think I'm at a good place to stop, so I'm also going to log off. I'll send over what I have now...>
10
Ena
<Then, I'll go take a bath.
I am starting to get a little sleepy.>
11
Kanade
<Okay. Good work today, Yuki, Enanan.>
12
Ena
<Thanks.>
13
Mafuyu
Good night, Kanade.
14
Kanade
Good night.
15
Kanade
I need to finish this by morning...
16
Kanade's Grandmother
<I'm sorry. I know I'm throwing a tough question at you...>
17
Kanade's Grandmother
<But I hope you'll give it some thought when you get a chance... This is your future we're talking about.>
18
Ena
<But I also think you should take more time to do the things that you want, K. The things you think are fun.>
19
Kanade
...
20
Kanade
(The things I want to do...
The things I think are fun....)
21
Kanade
(I did have fun that one time when I was little...)
22
Kanade
(I wanted to compose warm and soothing songs like the ones Dad did...)
23
Kanade
(I composed those songs because I liked his so much.)
24
Kanade
(Now I've only ever been able to focus on what I have to do...)
25
Kanade
(But...)
26
Kanade
(Is that really it...?)
27
Kanade
(To me, music is...)
28
Kanade
(I'm not really sure...
But I think it's something more than what I need to do...)
29
Kanade
I really don't know...
30
Kanade
But I'm having trouble focusing now, so I should probably take a break...
Empty SEKAI
Lake
31
KAITO
...
32
KAITO
(Mafuyu was able to start moving forward because she fought back against her mom that day...)
33
KAITO
(And that has caused things to change in this SEKAI. This new area appearing is proof of that.)
34
KAITO
(However...)
35
KAITO
...
36
Rin
Oh, KAITO, you're here...
37
KAITO
What is it? What do you want...?
38
Rin
I'm here for something else, not you.
39
KAITO
You brought your sketchbook...?
Are you going to draw something?
40
Rin
Yeah, I promised Ena that I'd do a drawing of the lake for her.
41
KAITO
I see...
42
KAITO
Then, I'll go over there.
43
Rin
You don't have to.
You're not in the way.
44
Rin
Actually, I could include you in my drawing.
45
KAITO
Don't.
46
Rin
...!
47
Rin
Someone's here.
48
KAITO
That looks like...
49
Rin
It's Kanade. Do you think something happened to her?
50
Rin
Wait, KAITO, aren't you gonna go see her with me...?
51
KAITO
I don't need to if you're going.
52
Rin
Oh, okay...
53
KAITO
(Wait...)
54
KAITO
(She's trying to compose a song that'll save Mafuyu...)
55
KAITO
(But I don't know why she is or what's driving her to do so.)
56
KAITO
I'll go have a quick look...
