Character icon
Kanade

(Thank goodness she stopped crying for now...)

2
Character icon
Kanade

(Still... Is she lost...?

More importantly, how did she get here...?)

3
Character icon
Kanade

Um, so... Where did you come from?

4
Character icon
Girl

I don't know...

5
Character icon
Girl

I was taking a nap...

But when I woke up, I saw that my plushie was gone and started looking for her...

6
Character icon
Kanade

I see...

7
Character icon
Girl

*Nod*

8
Character icon
Kanade

(I still don't understand how she got here, but I should try to get her home as soon as possible...)

9
Character icon
Kanade

(But... How do I actually do that...?)

10
Character icon
Kanade

(Would I be able to take her back by listening to Untitled...?

No, what if she wounds up somewhere unsafe instead...?)

11
Character icon
Girl

*Sob*

12
Character icon
Girl

Bunny... Where'd you go...?

13
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

14
Character icon
Kanade

(Right. She said that she lost her plushie. I should help her find it.)

15
Character icon
Kanade

Um, about your plushie...

Do you know where it might've gone?

16
Character icon
Girl

I don't know...

17
Character icon
Kanade

Okay...

18
Character icon
Kanade

So, um...

19
Character icon
Kanade

Does this place not scare you at all...?

20
Character icon
Girl

Yeah... This place felt scary at first...

21
Character icon
Girl

But that music helped me feel better...

22
Character icon
Kanade

Huh? Music?

23
Character icon
Girl

Yeah, the music that's playing right now...

24
Character icon
Girl

It feels so warm and cozy...

25
Character icon
Kanade

...!

26
Character icon
Kanade

I see...

27
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

So, did you also hear it when you first woke up?

28
Character icon
Girl

Yeah. It was louder then.

29
Character icon
Kanade

(If it was louder, then somewhere closer to the source may be where she woke up...)

30
Character icon
Kanade

(Which means her plushie may also be waiting for us there.)

31
Character icon
Kanade

Have you tried looking over there yet?

32
Character icon
Girl

No, not yet.

33
Character icon
Kanade

Then, shall we...?

34
Character icon
Girl

Okay...

???
35
Character icon
Kanade

This is...

36
Character icon
Girl

...!

37
Character icon
Kanade

This lake's beautiful. It's crystal clear...

But I'm not hearing any songs... Huh?

38
Character icon
Girl

...

39
Character icon
Kanade

Is something wrong?

40
Character icon
Girl

This place is scary...

41
Character icon
Kanade

Wait, scary? Why's that...?

42
Character icon
Girl

I don't know, but...

43
Character icon
Kanade

I see...

Then, let's try going over that way.

44
Character icon
Kanade

Oh, also... I'll try seeing if your plushie is somewhere around here. Give me one moment.

45
Character icon
Girl

Okay...

46
Character icon
Kanade

I'm not seeing her plushie anywhere...

47
Character icon
Kanade

(Maybe this isn't the right place...

What if it's closer towards the lake...?)

48
Character icon
Kanade

(Also, she can hear my song coming from the lake. Could there be a music player or something down there...?)

49
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

50
Character icon
Kanade

(What if her plushie fell into the lake...?)

51
Character icon
Kanade

...!

What was that...?

52
Character icon
Girl

Are you okay...?

53
Character icon
Kanade

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm going to keep looking for a little bit longer.

54
Character icon
Kanade

(Going in doesn't seem safe...

But I may also find a clue...)

55
Character icon
Kanade

(I'm not finding anything...)

56
Character icon
Kanade

(But what I just saw...

If that was her plushie...)

57
Character icon
Kanade

Just a little bit... Oh no...!

58
Character icon
Girl

No, don't fall in!

59
Character icon
Kanade

S-Sorry.

But I feel like I'm really close.

60
Character icon
Girl

Really...?

61
Character icon
Kanade

Huh...? Where'd that shadow I just saw go...?

62
Character icon
Kanade

That's strange. I could've sworn it was just...

63
Character icon
Girl

It's okay...

64
Character icon
Kanade

Huh...?

65
Character icon
Girl

I don't want you to get hurt because of me...

66
Character icon
Kanade

No, I'm fine.

I did slip a little just now, but I'll be more careful...

67
Character icon
Girl

No, you can stop.

68
Character icon
Girl

If she really is in that lake, then there's no point in you looking. I'm probably never gonna get her back...

69
Character icon
Girl

We're never gonna find her.

70
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

71
Character icon
Kanade

Don't say that...

72
Character icon
Kanade

I'm sure she's here somewhere.

73
Character icon
Kanade

There may be a way for us to look inside the lake. Even if she's not here, she could be somewhere else.

74
Character icon
Girl

But...

75
Character icon
Kanade

Don't worry. We'll find her.

76
Character icon
Girl

What...?

77
Character icon
Kanade

We still don't know where she might be... And I know finding her won't be easy.

78
Character icon
Kanade

But that doesn't mean we can give up.

79
Character icon
Kanade

If she's in the lake, then we'll find a way to save her.

80
Character icon
Kanade

So, let's come up with a plan.

81
Character icon
Girl

A plan...?

82
Character icon
Girl

Okay...!

83
Character icon
Girl

Thank you for everything you've done.

84
Character icon
Kanade

What...?

85
Character icon
???

Kanade... Kanade...

86
Character icon
Kanade

Huh...?

87
Character icon
Kanade

Wait, I'm back in my room...?

88
Character icon
Kanade

(But how...?

Was that all a dream...?)

89
Character icon
Mafuyu

Kanade, is something wrong...?

90
Character icon
Kanade

Oh, no... I think I fell asleep just now is all.

91
Character icon
Kanade

Were you working?

92
Character icon
Mafuyu

No, I just woke up.

I'll finish those lyrics now.

93
Character icon
Kanade

Okay, then I'll also continue working.

Would you mind letting me know when you're finished?

94
Character icon
Mafuyu

*Nod*

95
Character icon
Mafuyu

...——♪

96
Character icon
Kanade

...!

97
Character icon
Kanade

(This is the song I just heard in my dream...)

98
Character icon
Kanade

Mafuyu, that song...

99
Character icon
Mafuyu

Huh...?

100
Character icon
Mafuyu

Oh, was I singing just now...?

101
Character icon
Kanade

Y-Yes...

But why...?

102
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

103
Character icon
Mafuyu

I'm not sure, but I thought I just heard it in my dream just now...

104
Character icon
Kanade

What...?

105
Character icon
Mafuyu

I was lost in a place that I'd never been, and I was looking for something. I also felt very scared...

106
Character icon
Mafuyu

And then I heard this song playing.

107
Character icon
Mafuyu

That made me feel a little better...

108
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

109
Character icon
Girl

Yeah, the music that's playing right now...

110
Character icon
Girl

It feels so warm and cozy...

111
Character icon
Kanade

(Come to think of it, that little girl kind of looked like Mafuyu...)

112
Character icon
Kanade

(What if...?)

113
Character icon
Kanade

Mafuyu, do you remember what it was that you were looking for in your dream...?

114
Character icon
Mafuyu

I don't...

115
Character icon
Kanade

Okay...

116
Character icon
Mafuyu

Why do you ask?

117
Character icon
Kanade

Oh, sorry. It's just that I happened to have a similar dream.

118
Character icon
Kanade

I was helping a little girl look for her plushie...

119
Character icon
Mafuyu

Really...?

120
Character icon
Kanade

Yes. How strange is that...?

121
Character icon
Kanade

(That may've been just a dream.)

122
Character icon
Kanade

(But if both Mafuyu and that girl felt that they needed to hear my song...)

123
Character icon
Kanade

(Then, I have to keep composing...)

124
Character icon
Kanade

In order to save Mafuyu.
