Kanade

Listen

(Maybe dad will be awake today.)
2

Kanade

Listen

(But even if he is awake, which “dad” is he going to be...?)

Kanade

Listen

(Here's to hoping for a real conversation...)

Kanade

Listen

Hello...
5

Nurse

Oh, Kanade. Hello.
6

Nurse

You came at a good time.
Your father's awake.
7

Kanade

Listen

What? He is...?
8

Nurse

However, it's difficult to say how much he can remember at the moment...
9

Kanade

Listen

Thank you...
I'll try talking to him.
10

Kanade

Listen

Good morning.
Or afternoon, I guess...
11

Kanade's Father

Listen

Hm? Ah, good afternoon.
12

Kanade

Listen

How are you doing?
13

Kanade's Father

Listen

I, uh...
14

Kanade's Father

Listen

I'm sorry. I'm not sure I got your name.

15

Kanade's Father

Listen

I apologize for not remembering...
Apparently, stress from work caused my memory to become pretty jumbled.
16

Kanade

Listen

I see...
17

Kanade's Father

Listen

Again, I'm so sorry. After you came all this way to visit. I can't seem to remember anything about my family either...
18

Kanade

Listen

Your family...?
19

Kanade's Father

Listen

Yes.
We're actually about to become parents.
20

Kanade's Father

Listen

My wife's in her second trimester and her belly's been growing so much...
21

Kanade's Father

Listen

I know that I need to be by her side as much as possible, but look at me... How can I in this state...?
22

Kanade

Listen

...
23

Kanade

Listen

Please don't say that.
24

Kanade

Listen

I know that you're a kind person who cares about his family very much, Mr. Yoisaki.
25

Kanade's Father

Listen

Haha. Thank you.
Also, I didn't catch your name...
26

Kanade

Listen

It's Kanade...
27

Kanade's Father

Listen

Kanade? What a coincidence.
We're thinking about calling our baby that.
28

Kanade's Father

Listen

My wife and I love music very much, so we're hoping that we'll be able to enjoy it together as a family...
29

Kanade's Father

Listen

Look at me. I'm just rambling on about myself.
30

Kanade

Listen

No, please, don't mind me...
31

Kanade

Listen

I hope you get better soon.
Especially for your family's sake...
32

Kanade's Father

Listen

Me too. Thank you very much.

Nurse

He went back in time quite a ways today...
34

Kanade

Listen

Yes, he did...
But I'm glad that I got to see him doing so well.
35

Kanade

Listen

Anyways, I've dropped off his change of clothes, so if you'll excuse me...

Nurse

Wait, Kanade...!
37

Kanade

Listen

...
38

Kanade

Listen

(I have no right to feel this sad...)
39

Kanade

Listen

(I'm the one that did this to dad.)
40

Kanade

Listen

(I don't have time to feel bad.
I have to keep composing.)
41

Kanade

Listen

(I have to save Mafuyu. I have to save as many people as I can with my music.)
42

Mizuki

Listen

(Hm...?)
43

Mizuki

Listen

(Is that Kanade...?
Oh, maybe she's on her way home after visiting her dad.)
44

Mizuki

Listen

(But I probably shouldn't butt in unannounced. Plus, we'll talk on Nightcord later, so I guess I don't need to go up to her now and...)
45

Mizuki

Listen

Hang on... What? She's not using an umbrella!
46

Mizuki

Listen

(She'll catch a cold if she doesn't...
She looks so sad too...
Could something have happened to her?)
47

Mizuki

Listen

...
48

Mizuki

Listen

Forget it...!
Hey, Kanade!

Mizuki...?
What are you doing here...?

50

Mizuki

Listen

I'm on my way home from work.
More importantly, why are you walking around in the rain without an umbrella? You'll get sick, you know?
51

Kanade

Listen

Oh, I was just thinking about something...
52

Mizuki

Listen

You were?
53

Mizuki

Listen

(Something definitely happened...)
54

Mizuki

Listen

(She's really been pushing herself with that new song too. I can't just leave her like this...)
55

Mizuki

Listen

(But...)
56

Kanade

Listen

I have to finish that song...
57

Mizuki

Listen

Huh?
58

Kanade

Listen

It won't help Mafuyu at all at this rate. I have to keep working on it...
59

Kanade

Listen

Sorry, I need to go home...
60

Mizuki

Listen

Huh? Hey, hold on one sec!!
61

Mizuki

Listen

There's a super cute cafe just around the corner here. Wanna check it out together, Kanade?
62

Kanade

Listen

But I have to...
63

Mizuki

Listen

It'll just be for a little bit!
A little break before you get back to that song!
64

Kanade

Listen

Sure, but...
65

Mizuki

Listen

Great!
Let's go!
66

Kanade

Listen

Huh? But... M-Mizuki...?!
