Here you are.
Your chocolate parfait and a cup of hot tea.

Thanks!
Oh, the parfait's mine!

Time to dig in!
Oh, wow... It's so good♪

It's so warm...

That's because you were walking around in this weather without an umbrella.

Right. At least my clothes are starting to dry out now.

Thank goodness! And why don't you get something to eat, Kanade? I'll pay too since I kinda dragged you in here!

Thanks, but I'm really not that hungry.

Okay...
But tell me if you do, okay?

And isn't this place great?
I love this place so much since everything on the menu's amazing and the adorable decor.

Right...

...

So is the demo giving you a rough time...?

It is. I haven't made much progress...

I see.
But you don't need to feel rushed...

The demo that I had you all listen to didn't really resonate with Mafuyu.

So I need to finish another one for tonight.

But I have a feeling that I'm just going to get the same result...

Resonate...? You won't know until you try! I think you should just have her give it a listen, you know?

No, it's not just that.
A part of me knows that it won't.

Luka even said so.
That it won't clear up what's on Mafuyu's mind.

Clear up what's on her mind...?

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think I know what Luka was trying to say. I haven't made up my mind yet, and it's why I feel so lost.

Nothing's going to work at this rate...

...

(Kanade's really in trouble, huh?)

(I don't know anything about songwriting...)

(But I want to help her in any way I can...)

Alright...!

You're really up a creek, huh? And Luka said that your song won't help Mafuyu as it is...?

I know! Why don't we go out and do something together?

What? You mean right now...?

Yeah! You need to clear your head, right? Being cooped up at home definitely won't help, so why not get a breath of fresh air instead?

Who knows? You might even find something that'll help you save Mafuyu!

I see...

(The trip that Mizuki suggested we all go on did give us some ideas for a new song.)

(Maybe seeing something new is the right answer in this case too...)

(And if it means that I'll be able to compose a song that can save Mafuyu...)

Okay...
Take me somewhere.

Yeah, you got it!

But I probably should've decided on something before suggesting this...

Let me think... Got it! We can start with that place! Follow me, Kanade!

O-Okay...!

A doll store...?

Yeah. Remember how Mafuyu reacted when we all went to that Doll Exhibit?

So I thought that it might help you figure out something too!

Oh, right...

(But I wasn't directly responsible for that. Which means... I have to come up with something more powerful than that...)

Hm...?

What's up?

That sound... Is it a music box?

Yeah, I think it's this doll...

Oh, it plays a music box when you wind it up! That's really cute!

Yeah, you're right.
It's a nice song too...

...

Come to think of it, you include a lot of music box sounds in your songs, huh?

Even that last one you made. It's like you're putting your signature on each song, Kanade.

Oh, I never thought about it like that...
But I do like music boxes quite a bit.

Especially the one my dad made.
I used to listen to that one a lot.

That might be why I'm so fascinated by them.

It must've been a really good song.
What was it like?

It was so gentle...
Just listening to it made you feel...

...

Kanade...

(Did I pry too hard there...?)

Anyways, let's check out our next stop...!

Uh, sure. Okay...

Phew... We really looked all over.
How are you feeling? Tired?

No, I feel good. It's a weekday so there aren't that many people around, but I still haven't figured anything out regarding Mafuyu...

Oh, yeah...
I felt like that art exhibit with all those landscapes would do the trick too...

Yes, I can see why. Mafuyu smiled when we saw those cherry blossoms so...

She's even been complimenting Ena's artwork too, sometimes. Maybe art's the key to getting her to feel more?

Right. If we keep looking at artsy things, we might just...

Oh...

Hm? What's up?
Did that flower shop catch your eye...?

Carnations...

(Mom loved carnations so much...)
