<Alright... In that case, I'm gonna take a quick break.>

Mizuki

Listen

<Have fun♪
I've got lots more assets for you to make, so I'll tell you about them after you get back.>
9

Ena

Listen

*Sigh*
<I guess we should take this opportunity to polish everything up really nicely, since K still seems to be busy.>
10

Ena

Listen

<Actually, speaking of her...
She's been staying offline to compose that song for you, Yuki, but I'm starting to get worried...>
11

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, she hasn't been on at all lately...
Knowing her, I'm worried she's not getting enough rest again.>
12

Mizuki

Listen

<Fortunately, Yuki's with her, so I'm sure she's at least getting something to eat.>
13

Mafuyu

Listen

<I'm not so sure...>
14

Ena & Mizuki

Listen

<What?>
15

Mafuyu

Listen

<She's been eating during the sporadic breaks she's been taking. But only very little...>
16

Mizuki

Listen

<Only a little? Are you sure she's okay...?>

You gotta tell her to eat more, Yuki!>

Rin

<She spent all of today working again, nonstop.>
28

Mizuki

Listen

<Oh...>
29

Ena

Listen

<But, why?
She's had a few slumps here and there, but nothing this bad, not recently...>

How do I capture the warmth Mafuyu felt?

But I have to find it...
43

Kanade

Listen

The sound that will save Mafuyu...
44

Kanade

Listen

Because if I don't, she'll...
45

???

Listen

Mommy...
46

Kanade

Listen

Huh...?
47

Kanade

Listen

That voice. Where have I heard it before...?
48

???

Listen

Mommy, where are you...?
49

???

Listen

I can't find her anywhere...
50

Kanade

Listen

Is she crying...?
51

Kanade

I-Is everything okay? Are you looking for your mom...?

As long as we're together, you'll be happy.

Kanade

What...?
74

Mafuyu

I have Ena and Mizuki here on my phone.
75

Mizuki

Listen

<Are you alright, Kanade?
You should rest and give your body a chance to recover.>
76

Mizuki

Listen

<Also, Mafuyu was worried sick about you...
She told us you've hardly had anything to eat.>
77

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
78

Kanade

Listen

I'm sorry for making you all worry about me like this...
79

Mafuyu

Listen

It's okay. You don't need to apologize.
80

Mafuyu

Listen

I mean, you're composing this song just for me.
81

Mafuyu

Listen

But...
82

Mafuyu

Listen

I'd rather you didn't push yourself so hard...
83

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
84

Mafuyu

Listen

Are you feeling nauseous at all, Kanade?
85

Kanade

Listen

No, I'm okay...
But my head is spinning a little.
86

Mafuyu

Listen

In that case, you should have something to eat.
87

Ena

Listen

<Yeah, I agree.
Something simple like rice porridge is probably your best option right now.>
88

Kanade

Listen

Yes, I think I can handle that...
89

Mafuyu

Listen

Then, I'll go make some now.
90

Kanade

Listen

What? N-No, I'll...
91

Ena

Listen

<You need to lie down, Kanade.>
92

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
93

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, you need to focus on resting right now.>

I'm sorry. Would that be okay?
