<Thank goodness! Man, you had us worried there for a second. We were all working and then we heard this big thud!>
Kanade
The warmth Mafuyu felt when having those apple slices was an expression of her mom's love...
Mizuki
<Still, that's really surprising.
I feel like you'd have no trouble capturing that.>

In Mafuyu's memories of her, as well as the story Mr. Asahina told me... She's a devoted, and deeply loving person.
Kanade
When I'm composing...
I keep being reminded of the coldness I felt when I actually met her.
I keep being reminded of the coldness I felt when I actually met her.
Kanade
I think that's what's getting in the way of me fully realizing that warmth they talked about.
Ena
<I haven't talked to her in person like you, Kanade, but I have over the phone... And even from that, I could hardly believe a word of what Mafuyu was telling us earlier.>
Ena
<And of course, understanding how someone else sees something isn't as simple as just hearing a few stories from them.>
Mizuki
<Some people can only act a certain way when they're with their families, you know? Others don't get to see that behavior...>
Mizuki
<We have no way of knowing what happens behind closed doors. The good and the bad.>
Kanade
(I don't think there's any way to make the way Mafuyu sees her mom align perfectly with how I picture her.)
Ena
<If I were you, I wouldn't be happy with whatever it is that I made unless I solved the puzzle you're dealing with first.>
Ena
<So, I think you should go, see for yourself... And then put that sensation, whatever you find, into your song.>
Ena
<That might help bring your vision closer to Mafuyu's. Or, it could make things even harder for you...>
Ena
<But as long as you don't know for sure, I don't think you'll be able to move from where you are now.>

Because I was so convinced that we'd never see eye to eye. I felt that I didn't have to make an effort to understand her...
Kanade
I can't compose based on information that I don't have. It's impossible for me to turn a feeling I don't hold within myself into sound.

<Kanade said she's gonna keep working on that song! She needs to take it easy for the rest of the day!!>

Once I do...once I have a grasp on that warmth, I know I'll be able to do it right.
