Mafuyu

Hmm?
What's my computer doing?

Mafuyu

Listen

Looks like a music file.
Who sent it to me?

Mafuyu

Where...am I?

Miku

...
6

Mafuyu

Listen

Who are you?
7

Miku

Listen

I'm Miku.
8

Mafuyu

Listen

Miku, as in...Hatsune Miku?
9

Miku

Listen

So this was how Mafuyu and this SEKAI's version of me met for the first time...
10

Miku

Listen

(She doesn't know who the real her is, and desperately wants to find out...)
11

Miku

Listen

(But that's much easier said than done...)
12

Miku

Listen

(At this point in time, Mafuyu has no idea what her true feelings are.)
13

Miku

Listen

(Simultaneously, this SEKAI's me wasn't really sure how she was going to help her.)
14

Miku

Listen

(But still...)

Mafuyu

Listen

Miku.
16

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu, you're here...
17

Mafuyu

Listen

*Nod*
18

Mafuyu

Listen

I thought writing a song would help me discover my true feelings, but I'm still having trouble...
19

Miku

Listen

I see...
20

Mafuyu

Listen

This SEKAI really is empty.
21

Mafuyu

Listen

But I understand why...
22

Mafuyu

Listen

Because it's based on my feelings...
23

Mafuyu

Listen

...
24

Mafuyu

Listen

Do you think I'll ever know...?
25

Miku

Listen

Don't worry.
26

Miku

Listen

I'll help you find the real you.
27

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay...
28

Mafuyu

Listen

Um, Miku...?
29

Miku

Listen

Yes?
30

Mafuyu

Listen

Can I stay here for a little while longer...?
31

Miku

Listen

Of course.
32

Miku

Listen

This is your SEKAI after all, Mafuyu.
33

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you...
34

Miku

Listen

(That's right...)
35

Miku

Listen

(This SEKAI ends up becoming a very important place for Mafuyu.)
36

Miku

Listen

(Naturally, for this version of me as well...)

Mafuyu

Listen

<Thank you, K.
What did you think...?>
40

[K]

Listen

<It was much deeper than I was expecting. I thought I was being tossed into this dark and quiet chasm of despair.>
41

[K]

Listen

<But I also felt like I was searching for the light. That was really well done...>
42

Mafuyu

Listen

<Hehe. That was present in the demo you made, K. All I did was add a few more sounds on top of that...>
43

[K]

Listen

<Still, I believe you've helped make it a lot better. So, Yuki, thank you.>
44

Mafuyu

Listen

<You're welcome...>
45

Mafuyu

Listen

(I felt something while listening to this song too, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for...)
46

Mafuyu

Listen

(But someday...)
47

Mafuyu

Listen

(Someday, I'll find...)
48

Teacher

I really appreciate you always helping me, Asahina, but I feel bad about making you do this during your lunch break.

49

Mafuyu

Listen

No, this is nothing.
You needed me to carry these papers over to the classroom, yes?
50

Teacher

Yes, that would be incredibly helpful!
51

Teacher

Also, if you have time...
52

Mafuyu's Mother

I heard from your teacher that you've decided to become a class representative, Mafuyu. Is that true?
53

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, it is...
Everyone said that I should take the job.
54

Mafuyu's Mother

Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Be sure to do your very best, okay?
55

Mafuyu's Mother

But try not to be too helpful either, since those receiving your assistance won't be able to grow as individuals.
56

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. I'll be careful.
Thanks for the warning, Mom.
57

Miku

Listen

Are you feeling okay, Mafuyu...?
58

Mafuyu

Listen

Miku...
59

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm okay... I think...
60

Mafuyu

Listen

But I'm so tired...
61

Mafuyu

Listen

I've looked and looked, but still haven't found any answers...

62

Mafuyu

Listen

This void inside of me just keeps growing and growing.
63

Mafuyu

Listen

Now... I just want to disappear...
64

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu...
65

Miku

Listen

But your true feelings...
66

Mafuyu

Listen

My true feelings...?
67

Mafuyu

Listen

If I can't find them after searching this much...
68

Mafuyu

Listen

Then I can't help but wonder if they exist at all...
69

Miku

Listen

B-But...
70

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm done.
71

Mafuyu

Listen

More to the point, Miku...
72

Mafuyu

Listen

I just want to stay in this SEKAI forever.
73

Miku

Listen

Oh...
74

Miku

Listen

...
75

Miku

Listen

...
76

Miku

Listen

I want to help Mafuyu find her true feelings...
77

Miku

Listen

But that won't happen at this rate...
78

Miku

Listen

What do I do...?

79

Miku

Listen

Oh...
80

Miku

Listen

This song...
81

Miku

Listen

It's the one by that person Mafuyu's been working with...
82

Miku

Listen

This SEKAI is completely empty, with the exception of this song...
83

Miku

Listen

Then...
84

Miku

Listen

The person who made this song might be able to help find the real Mafuyu.
85

Miku

Listen

I think I'll go see her...
86

Miku

Listen

For Mafuyu's sake...
87

Miku

Listen

Thank you.
88

Miku

Listen

For trying so hard all by yourself in this empty SEKAI, just for her.
89

Miku

Listen

For doing your best to keep her feelings safe.
90

Miku

Listen

...?
91

Miku

Listen

I know you can...
92

Miku

Listen

I can't do anything to help...
93

Miku

Listen

But I'll always be watching over you.
94

Miku

Listen

Now and forever.
95

Miku

Listen

Oh...
96

Miku

Listen

What happened...?
97

Miku

Listen

Just now... I felt all this warmth...
