Mizuki

Listen

So, Mafuyu, what's your mom like...?
2

Mafuyu

Listen

She's a normal person...
3

Ena

Listen

A normal person doesn't try to throw away someone else's stuff without asking them first.
4

Ena

Listen

You mentioned how she tried to get rid of your synthesizer before. Didn't that bother you at all?
5

Mafuyu

Listen

Bother me...?
6

Mafuyu

Listen

...
7

Mafuyu

Listen

But she's always talking about how it's for the sake of my future...
8

Mafuyu

Listen

Instead of spending my time on music, I should be doing things that will help me with entrance exams... Because that's what is best for me...
9

Mafuyu

Listen

So... I have to... Give up music...
10

Mafuyu

Listen

Give up music and...
11

Mafuyu

Listen

...
12

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu...
13

Ena

Listen

...
14

Ena

Listen

But you need it, right?
Which means you have to tell your parents.
15

Ena

Listen

You don't have to just keep quiet and do what they tell you to do...
16

Mafuyu

Listen

But I'm not...
17

Mafuyu

Listen

Because I believe what my mom says about me is all true...
18

Ena

Listen

That's exactly what I mean by you doing as you're told...
19

Mizuki

Listen

Ena, I get that you're worried about Mafuyu, but let's take a step back for a minute.
20

Mizuki

Listen

Despite all of this, Mafuyu cares a lot about her mom...
21

Ena

Listen

No, I understand that part but...
22

Ena

Listen

But do you really think everything she says is right, Mafuyu...?
23

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...
24

Mafuyu

Listen

I do...
25

Ena

Listen

Okay...
26

Ena

Listen

But you wouldn't have come here if some part of you thought she wasn't right, don't you think...?
27

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...?
28

Ena

Listen

I mean, your mom's saying that you should be studying instead of messing around with music, right?
29

Ena

Listen

If you really thought she was right, you'd be holed up in your room right now studying for whatever.
30

Mafuyu

Listen

B-But...

31

Mafuyu

Listen

I'll give up on music...
32

Mafuyu

Listen

And I'll use that time to prepare for exams, so you don't have to worry so much about me.
33

Mafuyu

Listen

I should go to SEKAI...
34

Mafuyu

Listen

I...
35

Mafuyu

Listen

I don't know what to do...
36

Mizuki

Listen

Alright, let's all just take a deep breath! And Mafuyu seems pretty exhausted, so why don't we talk about this another time?

37

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, I know! We should throw Len a welcoming party and give him a chance to get to know everyone!
38

Len

Listen

Huh? Me...?
39

Rin

Listen

Okay, but this is really sudden...
40

Luka

Listen

Hehe. That sounds nice.
Will you be joining us, MEIKO?
41

MEIKO

Listen

I don't mind welcoming him, but I'll leave the merrymaking to the rest of you...
42

Mizuki

Listen

Everyone else in?
43

Ena

Listen

Sure. I mean, there's no reason not to...
44

Kanade

Listen

I'm okay with it too...
45

Mafuyu

Listen

I can't until I finish taking my practice exam...
46

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, right...
47

Mafuyu

Listen

Sorry...
I should head back for the night.
48

Mafuyu

Listen

I really need to study.
49

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu...!
50

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...?
51

Kanade

Listen

I know I'm not in a position to be saying this...
52

Kanade

Listen

I understand just how much your mom means to you... But I also don't want you to be too hard on yourself.
53

Kanade

Listen

Because I don't like seeing you in pain, Mafuyu...
54

Mizuki

Listen

Say, Mafuyu...
55

Mizuki

Listen

I really think you should just do what you want to do. You don't have to listen to absolutely everything your parents say!
56

Mizuki

Listen

So it's totally okay for you to go and visit PXL if you get tired of studying!
57

Mafuyu

Listen

(PXL...)
58

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay, thank you...
59

Mafuyu

Listen

I'll see you later...
60

Len

Listen

Oh...
61

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu...
62

Kanade

Listen

Isn't there anything we can do to help Mafuyu...?
63

Mizuki

Listen

I get how you feel, Kanade, but I feel like you're already giving her a ton of support.

64

Rin

Listen

Yeah. I mean, you're composing music just for her.
65

Rin

Listen

At the same time, I understand your concern...
66

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Since you're just as worried, right, Rin?
67

Rin

Listen

Shut up.
68

Kanade

Listen

...
69

Miku

Listen

Um, Kanade?
70

Miku

Listen

If you're that worried about Mafuyu, why don't you all try working on a song together...?
71

Kanade

Listen

Huh...?
72

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu seems to be most at ease whenever she's creating music with all of you.
73

Miku

Listen

So...
74

Ena

Listen

Yeah, that might be our best option at this point...
75

Ena

Listen

Mafuyu might not know it herself, but what we do definitely means a lot to her.
76

Kanade

Listen

Right...
77

Mizuki

Listen

Which means we should visit PXL as soon as we can to give Kanade a chance to have fun and come up with song ideas!
78

Mizuki

Listen

My original plan was for the four of us to go together, but I'd rather not force anything on anyone...
79

Ena

Listen

But it should still be worth the trip if it means helping Mafuyu, right?
80

Kanade

Listen

I agree...
81

Kanade

Listen

Thank you all very much.
For Mafuyu's sake, I promise to finish my rough draft as soon as possible.
82

Miku

Listen

Okay, Kanade, good luck.
83

Len

Listen

Mafuyu...
84

Len

Listen

Is she going to be okay...?

But do you really think everything she says is right, Mafuyu...?
87

Ena

But you wouldn't have come here if some part of you thought she wasn't right, don't you think...?

Mafuyu

Why can't I...?
