(Thank goodness she stopped crying for now...)
(Still... Is she lost...?
More importantly, how did she get here...?)
Um, so... Where did you come from?
I don't know...
I was taking a nap...
But when I woke up, I saw that my plushie was gone and started looking for her...
I see...
*Nod*
(I still don't understand how she got here, but I should try to get her home as soon as possible...)
(But... How do I actually do that...?)
(Would I be able to take her back by listening to Untitled...?
No, what if she wounds up somewhere unsafe instead...?)
*Sob*
Bunny... Where'd you go...?
Oh...
(Right. She said that she lost her plushie. I should help her find it.)
Um, about your plushie...
Do you know where it might've gone?
I don't know...
Okay...
So, um...
Does this place not scare you at all...?
Yeah... This place felt scary at first...
But that music helped me feel better...
Huh? Music?
Yeah, the music that's playing right now...
It feels so warm and cozy...
...!
I see...
Oh...
So, did you also hear it when you first woke up?
Yeah. It was louder then.
(If it was louder, then somewhere closer to the source may be where she woke up...)
(Which means her plushie may also be waiting for us there.)
Have you tried looking over there yet?
No, not yet.
Then, shall we...?
Okay...
This is...
...!
This lake's beautiful. It's crystal clear...
But I'm not hearing any songs... Huh?
...
Is something wrong?
This place is scary...
Wait, scary? Why's that...?
I don't know, but...
I see...
Then, let's try going over that way.
Oh, also... I'll try seeing if your plushie is somewhere around here. Give me one moment.
Okay...
I'm not seeing her plushie anywhere...
(Maybe this isn't the right place...
What if it's closer towards the lake...?)
(Also, she can hear my song coming from the lake. Could there be a music player or something down there...?)
Oh...
(What if her plushie fell into the lake...?)
...!
What was that...?
Are you okay...?
Yes, I'm okay.
I'm going to keep looking for a little bit longer.
(Going in doesn't seem safe...
But I may also find a clue...)
(I'm not finding anything...)
(But what I just saw...
If that was her plushie...)
Just a little bit... Oh no...!
No, don't fall in!
S-Sorry.
But I feel like I'm really close.
Really...?
Huh...? Where'd that shadow I just saw go...?
That's strange. I could've sworn it was just...
It's okay...
Huh...?
I don't want you to get hurt because of me...
No, I'm fine.
I did slip a little just now, but I'll be more careful...
No, you can stop.
If she really is in that lake, then there's no point in you looking. I'm probably never gonna get her back...
We're never gonna find her.
Oh...
Don't say that...
I'm sure she's here somewhere.
There may be a way for us to look inside the lake. Even if she's not here, she could be somewhere else.
But...
Don't worry. We'll find her.
What...?
We still don't know where she might be... And I know finding her won't be easy.
But that doesn't mean we can give up.
If she's in the lake, then we'll find a way to save her.
So, let's come up with a plan.
A plan...?
Okay...!
Thank you for everything you've done.
What...?
Kanade... Kanade...
Huh...?
Wait, I'm back in my room...?
(But how...?
Was that all a dream...?)
Kanade, is something wrong...?
Oh, no... I think I fell asleep just now is all.
Were you working?
No, I just woke up.
I'll finish those lyrics now.
Okay, then I'll also continue working.
Would you mind letting me know when you're finished?
*Nod*
...——♪
...!
(This is the song I just heard in my dream...)
Mafuyu, that song...
Huh...?
Oh, was I singing just now...?
Y-Yes...
But why...?
...
I'm not sure, but I thought I just heard it in my dream just now...
What...?
I was lost in a place that I'd never been, and I was looking for something. I also felt very scared...
And then I heard this song playing.
That made me feel a little better...
Oh...
Yeah, the music that's playing right now...
It feels so warm and cozy...
(Come to think of it, that little girl kind of looked like Mafuyu...)
(What if...?)
Mafuyu, do you remember what it was that you were looking for in your dream...?
I don't...
Okay...
Why do you ask?
Oh, sorry. It's just that I happened to have a similar dream.
I was helping a little girl look for her plushie...
Really...?
Yes. How strange is that...?
(That may've been just a dream.)
(But if both Mafuyu and that girl felt that they needed to hear my song...)
(Then, I have to keep composing...)
In order to save Mafuyu.
