Go home, take some medicine and sleep...

I'm home.

And that time, Mafuyu just...
10

???

Really...? She did that...?
11

Mafuyu

Listen

...?
12

Mafuyu

Listen

Ah, it's just mom and dad talking...
13

Mafuyu's Mother

Oh, Mafuyu, welcome home.
14

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, hello...
Oh, that's right. Dad didn't have work today.
15

Mafuyu

Listen

What are you two looking at?
Is that an album...?
16

Mafuyu's Mother

Hehe. Look, Mafuyu.
They're pictures of you when you were little.
17

Mafuyu's Father

Your mother suggested that we look at them after all this time and we ended up chatting for hours.
18

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. Really...?
I feel a little embarrassed.
19

Mafuyu's Mother

Honey, look. This was when Mafuyu won a prize for that essay contest she entered in to during the first grade.
20

Mafuyu's Father

Yes, I still remember.
And the one next to it is of her as the heroine of a play.
21

Mafuyu's Mother

I made this Snow White dress just for you after seeing how dreadfully dull that costume your classmate initially gave you was.
22

Mafuyu

Listen

...
23

Mafuyu's Mother

Mafuyu?
24

Mafuyu

Listen

Uh, it's nothing...
I didn't know that. Thank you, mom.
25

Mafuyu's Mother

Hehe. It was my pleasure. I mean, you were supposed to be the star of the show. It would've been a shame to see you wear such a thing.
26

Mafuyu's Father

And you'll be getting ready for entrance exams next year. How do you feel? Do you think you're ready?
27

Mafuyu's Mother

Since you're aiming for medical school, you'll need to be perfect across the board. If things aren't going well at cram school, just tell me and we can find a new one.

Mafuyu

Listen

Mafuyu

Listen

(Medical school...)

Mafuyu

Listen

I appreciate your support.
31

Mafuyu

Listen

I promise to do my best.
32

Mafuyu's Father

And we'll be expecting nothing short of great success.

35

Mafuyu

Listen

(Seeing those photos...
It's making my chest hurt...)
36

Mafuyu

Listen

I should take this medicine and go to bed right away. Oh, I need to tell everyone that I can't make it today...

Mafuyu

But I think I have time to listen to Kanade's song...

What was that I just saw...?)

Oh, Kanade's song is still on...
I must've fallen asleep while it was playing...

Mafuyu

(My chest definitely hurt...
But it also reminded me of how I feel when I listen to Kanade's song.)

M-Mom...?
57

Mafuyu's Mother

Oh, you decided to look at that album too? Hehe. Did I make you want to reminisce a little more? Nostalgia does have a way of getting the better of us.
58

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I suppose so...
I don't remember much from back then, so I wanted to see for myself...
59

Mafuyu's Mother

Oh, but don't you have to get up early tomorrow?
60

Mafuyu's Mother

Sleep deprivation will take away from your studies. Not only will you not be able to focus during class, your grades may even begin to slip...
61

Mafuyu's Mother

Of course, you don't need me to tell you that.
62

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I'll head off to bed...
63

Mafuyu

Listen

Good night, mom.
I'll take this up to my room and look at it tomorrow.
64

Mafuyu's Mother

Okay. Good night, Mafuyu.
