(Maybe dad will be awake today.)

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

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

Hello...

Oh, Kanade. Hello.

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

What? He is...?

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

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

Good morning.
Or afternoon, I guess...

Hm? Ah, good afternoon.

How are you doing?

I, uh...

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

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

I see...

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

Your family...?

Yes.
We're actually about to become parents.

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

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

...

Please don't say that.

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

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

It's Kanade...

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

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

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

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

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

Me too. Thank you very much.

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

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

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

Wait, Kanade...!

...

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

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

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

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

(Hm...?)

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

(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...)

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

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

...

Forget it...!
Hey, Kanade!

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

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?

Oh, I was just thinking about something...

You were?

(Something definitely happened...)

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

(But...)

I have to finish that song...

Huh?

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

Sorry, I need to go home...

Huh? Hey, hold on one sec!!

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

But I have to...

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

Sure, but...

Great!
Let's go!

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