Again, I understand that it's important for her to study, but won't you please allow her to stay in our group?
Mafuyu's Mother
She must've told you that because something happened at school. Maybe she didn't receive the grade she wanted for a test and is feeling bad about it...

Thank you, Ms. Yoisaki.
I appreciate the way you've supported her until now.

If... If you do truly care about Mafuyu's well-being, then please ask her what she actually wants to do... I beg you...
Kanade
When you do, I'm sure she'll be able to explain why she needs our group right now. Then you'll understand.
Mafuyu's Mother
Which should give her an opportunity to see that she doesn't need your silly, little group and that becoming a doctor is what's best for her.
Mafuyu's Mother
I'm sure she'll be back to normal after we've had a chance to talk things over...

Yes, Kanade. But I'm so sorry...
We were supposed to go on a picnic together today, but we can't now because of me.

Kanade's Mother
I'm okay. I'll feel much better after I listen to the music box your father gave me.
Little Kanade
Um, Mommy...?
Do you always feel better after listening to Daddy's music box?

Kanade's Mother
Yes, of course.
The songs your father writes are so wonderful. They always fill me with so much warmth.

Little Kanade
Then, I wanna learn how to write songs like Daddy. That'll make you feel even better, right?
Kanade's Mother
Yes. Wanting to learn how to write wonderful songs like your father is a beautiful dream.
Kanade's Mother
But I'll be happy as long as you find something that makes you happy, Kanade.
Kanade
You don't seem to understand how Mafuyu feels. If anything, you're trying to suppress who she is...

Mafuyu's Mother
Ever since she was little, she's been a kind and polite girl... That's why I want to make her the happiest person in the world.
Mafuyu's Mother
It saddens me to see that you're misunderstanding my intentions, but I want you to know that I care about her deeply.
Kanade
(She is her mother...
Because of that, I was sure she'd be able to show a degree of warmth or kindness...)

Initially, I was under the impression that you came here to meet with me to explain how you wished for Mafuyu to give up music because you were worried about her...
Kanade
Everything you've said... Everything I've heard from you... Even though you are in fact Mafuyu's mother...
Mafuyu's Mother
I was hoping that you'd understand if you truly did care about Mafuyu... But I suppose I was wrong as well...
Mafuyu's Mother
Thank you for meeting with me today, Ms. Yoisaki. I'm glad we had this chance to talk...
Mafuyu's Mother
Also, this may feel like unwanted solicitation... But try not to do anything that you'll regret in the future, Ms. Yoisaki.

(At the same time, Mafuyu still believes in her... Because she desperately wants to...)

(All I can do for her right now is keep composing and be ready to welcome her back at any time...)
