Phew...

(Mizuki helped remind me about a lot of things today.)

(I'm still not sure what kind of song will save Mafuyu, but that's okay...)

I just have to keep trying.
No matter how long it takes.

No, this won't work...

It feels like I've taken a step closer, but some things are still missing...

It needs to be softer and gentler...

Oh...

My music box...

Right, like this...

(It's so gentle and warm, like I'm being wrapped in a blanket. Dad's songs have these qualities.)

(Qualities that my songs don't have...)

(But what am I missing? How did dad capture these feelings so well...?)

(When he made this song, he was...)

As long as it made us smile even a little bit...

(Dad sang that song because he wanted mom and me to smile...)

(So what's my goal?
What do I want for Mafuyu?)

(I... I just don't want her to disappear...)

(No, that's just a personal desire. I want her to stay so that I don't get hurt...)

(What do I want her to feel? What do I want her to do?)

(I want her to be her the way she wants to be... I think...)

(But I don't know who that Mafuyu is. What's going to happen when she does find the “real” her?)

*Sigh*...

I really wasn't thinking about Mafuyu's best interests, was I...?

I'll be stuck in a loop at this rate...

What do I want people to realize...?

What do I want Mafuyu to realize...?

Oh...

(It's that.)

(I'm not sure I can put it into words but...)

(I want her to be able to feel a lot of different emotions like mom did back then...)

I want her to smile...

Done...

This seems completely different from anything I made before...

(What kind of expression will Mafuyu have on her face after listening to this?)

(I'm a little nervous...)

No...

I want all of them to listen to it.

<Hello? Are you all here?>
