The Way I Played That Day

Empty SEKAI

1

Kanade

Listen

That was the first song I ever composed.
2

Kanade

Listen

After that, I started composing more songs while receiving advice from my dad.
3

Kanade

Listen

Like what kind of songs would make both my parents smile...
4

Kanade

Listen

And what would make them feel happy...
I wanted to compose those kinds of songs.

Rin

Listen

I see...
6

Rin

Listen

You must really love your mom and dad...
7

Kanade

Listen

I do...
8

Kanade

Listen

My mom always knew how to make me feel better... If I ever felt scared or worried she'd give me a hug, and she always sang lullabies to me whenever it was bedtime...

Kanade

Listen

My dad was also really nice...
He always praised me and gave me pats on the head.
10

Kanade

Listen

Whenever we were all together, everything felt so warm and happy.
11

Kanade

Listen

They'd always smile whenever I composed a new song...
12

Kanade

Listen

Which always puts a smile on my face...
13

Rin

Listen

That's really nice...
14

Kanade

Listen

Huh?
15

Rin

Listen

I understand now that music means everything to you, Kanade.
16

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
17

Kanade

Listen

Yes, it does...
18

Kanade

Listen

(Music was always a part of our lives in some way... And that's what made us happy.)
19

Kanade

Listen

(Which is why I love music so much...)

Kanade

Listen

(But...)

Kanade

(Because of me, Dad...)

(He...)
23

Rin

Listen

Kanade...?
24

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
25

Rin

Listen

Is something wrong?
You don't look so good.
26

Kanade

Listen

I should head back...
I need to finish working on that song.

27

Kanade

Listen

(Because my goal is still to compose songs that can save people...)
28

Kanade

Listen

(For as long as I can...)
29

Rin

Listen

But...
30

Kanade

Listen

I'm okay, and I'm sorry for making you worry...
31

Kanade

Listen

Thank you for listening.
I feel a little better now.
32

Kanade

Listen

I'll come back once our song's finished...
33

Rin

Listen

Kanade...
34

Rin

Listen

Okay...
35

KAITO

Listen

...
36

KAITO

Listen

Interesting...
37

KAITO

Listen

(I didn't know that's why she's composing these songs.)
38

KAITO

Listen

(Which is likely striking a chord with Mafuyu.)
39

KAITO

Listen

(And yet...)
40

KAITO

Listen

She clearly tried to suppress whatever she was feeling just now...
