2

<Yeah, I think I'll stop here too.
I have work tomorrow, and it's been a little while since I last went.>

Kanade

Listen

<Okay. Thank you for your hard work, everyone.>

Mizuki

<Later♪>

Mafuyu

Listen

Are you going to keep working, Kanade...?
6

Kanade

Listen

Yes, I'd like to make a little more progress while I can.
7

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay. Good night...
8

Kanade

Listen

Good night, Mafuyu.

Kanade

Oh, a message...?

Kanade

Listen

(No, it's just a newsletter. I thought it was...)

12

Kanade

Listen

(I still haven't heard back from her...)
13

Kanade

Listen

I hope Tenma's okay...

14

Saki

Listen

I'm going to take another hard look at what I think makes you really shine, Kanade!
15

Saki

Listen

That might be the key to figuring out what I'm missing!
16

Kanade

Listen

(What if she's really struggling to find the answer?)
17

Kanade

Listen

(I said that I'd help her until the end, but I haven't been able to do anything for her...)
18

Kanade

Listen

This isn't good. I can't focus on my work at all...
19

Kanade

Listen

Maybe I should take a short break in SEKAI...
Empty SEKAI

Kanade

Listen

Huh...?
21

Kanade

Listen

(There's someone over by the water...)
22

Kanade

Listen

Rin...?
23

Rin

Listen

Kanade? When did you get here...?
24

Kanade

Listen

Just now. I came to take a short break.
25

Rin

Listen

Your timing couldn't have been better.
26

Kanade

Listen

Huh?
27

Rin

Listen

...
28

Rin

Listen

Is my brooch crooked at all...?
29

Rin

Listen

I tried using the water as a mirror, but I couldn't really tell...
30

Kanade

Listen

Umm... It looks straight to me.
31

Rin

Listen

Okay. That's good to hear.
32

Kanade

Listen

Your brooch is very pretty.
33

Rin

Listen

Mizuki found it at a shop, thought it would look good on me and decided to bring it over.
34

Rin

Listen

And I felt like wearing it today...
35

Kanade

Listen

I see. Mizuki would be so happy to hear that.
36

Rin

Listen

Yeah...
37

Rin

Listen

Do you wear any jewelry like this, Kanade?
38

Kanade

Listen

Huh?
39

Rin

Listen

Mizuki and the others said that you were modeling for someone.
40

Rin

Listen

Did you put on any jewelry during your shoot?
41

Kanade

Listen

Yes. Brooches, necklaces and a variety of other things.
42

Kanade

Listen

...
43

Rin

Listen

Is something wrong?
44

Kanade

Listen

Oh, no...
Nothing too serious. It's just...
45

Kanade

Listen

Things haven't been going so well.
46

Rin

Listen

Really...?
47

Kanade

Listen

*Nod*
We did our shoot the other day...
48

Kanade

Listen

Tenma said that I possess the sort of radiance she's looking for...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

49

Kanade

Listen

But we weren't able to fully capture that in any of the pictures we took. And that's bothering her...
50

Rin

Listen

Radiance...?
51

Kanade

Listen

*Nod*
She said she's going to take another hard look at what that means to her.
52

Kanade

Listen

But I also understand that feeling that your piece is incomplete because you're missing something.
53

Kanade

Listen

I was hoping to help her somehow, but I really don't know what to do...
54

Rin

Listen

I see.
55

Kanade

Listen

*Nod*
What would you do in this sort of situation, Rin...?
56

Rin

Listen

You can't expect me to immediately answer that question...
57

Kanade

Listen

Yes, of course. I'm sorry...
58

Rin

Listen

I wouldn't know what to do either...
59

Rin

Listen

This is like the opposite of how things usually go.
60

Kanade

Listen

The opposite...?
61

Rin

Listen

Yeah. Whenever you have trouble reaching someone with a song or don't know what you're trying to express to them...
62

Rin

Listen

You try to get to know that person, right?
63

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
64

Kanade

Listen

You're right...
When I first decided to try to compose a song that could save Mafuyu...
65

Kanade

Listen

I started by taking a closer look at what she was thinking and feeling...
66

Kanade

Listen

I did overstep a few times as a result...
67

Kanade

Listen

But I was also able to learn more about what's really going on with Mafuyu. I figured out what I wanted to do and channeled it into my songs...
68

Rin

Listen

Well, if you don't know, then you should go find out...
69

Rin

Listen

That can change things a lot, right?
70

Kanade

Listen

Rin...
71

Kanade

Listen

I see your point. This is sort of the opposite of how things usually go.
72

Kanade

Listen

Then...
73

Kanade

Listen

(I don't know if this will help Tenma find the right answer.)
74

Kanade

Listen

(But if I can give her even the smallest hint...)
75

Kanade

Listen

I really appreciate it, Rin.
76

Kanade

Listen

I think I know what to do now thanks to you.
77

Rin

Listen

Okay.
78

Rin

Listen

Let me know if the picture turns out. I wanna see...
79

Kanade

Listen

Okay.
I'll bring it by once it's ready.
80

Rin

Listen

I'll be waiting...
