Kanade

2

Kanade

Listen

(Am I taking this song in the right direction...?)
3

Kanade

Listen

(I hope that it has some effect on Mafuyu's heart...)
4

Mafuyu

Listen

It's warm...
5

Kanade

Listen

...!
6

Kanade

Listen

Thank goodness...
7

Ena

Listen

*Nod*
Even when it was still just a demo, I had a good feeling about this song.
8

Mizuki

Listen

Me too!
It really hits home for some reason!
9

Miku

Listen

I also agree.
10

Kanade

Listen

Thank you.
I really appreciate you all saying that.
11

Kanade

Listen

(I'm glad, but...)
12

Kanade

Listen

(I still haven't been able to save Mafuyu.)

13

Kanade

Listen

(Mafuyu's dad has come to terms with her feelings.)
14

Kanade

Listen

(Which I think has helped put her mind at ease a little. However...)
15

Kanade

Listen

(She still looks to be in pain from time to time.)
16

Kanade

Listen

(I have to compose a song that can save her.)
17

Kanade

Listen

(But I've written a number of songs already, and every time, I feel like I'm missing something.)
18

Kanade

Listen

(What am I doing wrong...?)
19

Kanade

Listen

Um, Mafuyu?
20

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes?
21

Kanade

Listen

You often say that my songs feel “warm”...
What do you mean by that?
22

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...?
23

Ena

Listen

What are you trying to ask?
24

Kanade

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry, that came out of nowhere.
25

Kanade

Listen

So... You know how you often talk about how my songs feel “warm”, yes?
26

Mafuyu

Listen

*Nod*
27

Kanade

Listen

From what I understand, that warmth you feel means quite a lot to you...
28

Kanade

Listen

If I can learn more about where that comes from, then I think I can get closer to actually composing a song which can save you.
29

Mizuki

Listen

I see...
30

Ena

Listen

I see what you mean.
It's important to have a clear picture of what you want to create.
31

Rin

Listen

Do you know where that warmth comes from, Mafuyu?
32

Mafuyu

Listen

...
33

Mafuyu

Listen

The warmth I feel from Kanade's songs...

34

Mafuyu

Listen

When I was little, I caught a cold...
35

Mafuyu

Listen

And my mom nursed me back to health.
36

Kanade

Listen

She nursed you...?
37

Mafuyu

Listen

She's always busy with neighborhood association business...

38

Mafuyu

Listen

But she stayed by my side the entire day that time.
Also...
39

Mafuyu

Listen

She cut apple slices in the shape of rabbits for me.
40

Ena

Listen

Oh, apple slices?
41

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...
42

Mafuyu

Listen

I remember those being so delicious...
43

Mafuyu

Listen

She even held my hand as she sang me lullabies.
44

Mizuki

Listen

Really...?
45

Mafuyu

Listen

The sensation I feel whenever I listen to one of your songs...
46

Mafuyu

Listen

It's similar to what I felt back then.
47

Kanade

Listen

I had no idea...
48

Miku

Listen

That's a wonderful story.
49

Ena

Listen

Yeah. Kind of surprising to hear, though.
50

Mizuki

Listen

Actually, it kinda makes sense.
51

Ena

Listen

It does?
52

Mizuki

Listen

Remember what Mafuyu told us before? Listening to Kanade's songs feels like having apple slices, she said.
53

Mizuki

Listen

Putting two and two together, those were probably the same ones her mom made for her when she caught that cold, right?
54

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
55

Kanade

Listen

In that case...
I'll try composing a song based on that memory next.
56

Mafuyu

Listen

Kanade...
57

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you.
58

Miku

Listen

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
59

Rin

Listen

Me too...

Mafuyu's Father

Listen

I must've missed so many warning signs.
I feel absolutely terrible.
63

Mafuyu's Father

Listen

I still don't know what Mafuyu is going to work towards moving forward.
64

Mafuyu's Father

Listen

But...
65

Mafuyu's Father

Listen

As painful as this is going to be for you...
66

Mafuyu's Father

Listen

I plan on giving her all the support I can so that she's able to choose her path in life freely.

Mafuyu's Mother

Mafuyu's Mother

(So, everything I've done... It was all a mistake?)
