That was the first song I ever composed.

After that, I started composing more songs while receiving advice from my dad.

Like what kind of songs would make both my parents smile...

And what would make them feel happy...

I wanted to compose those kinds of songs.

I see...

You must really love your mom and dad...

I do...

My mom always knew how to make me feel better... If I ever felt scared or worried she'd give me a hug, and she always sang lullabies to me whenever it was bedtime...

My dad was also really nice...

He always praised me and gave me pats on the head.

Whenever we were all together, everything felt so warm and happy.

They'd always smile whenever I composed a new song...

Which always puts a smile on my face...

That's really nice...

Huh?

I understand now that music means everything to you, Kanade.

Oh...

Yes, it does...

(Music was always a part of our lives in some way... And that's what made us happy.)

(Which is why I love music so much...)

(But...)

(Because of me, Dad...)

(He...)

Kanade...?

Oh...

Is something wrong?

You don't look so good.

I should head back...

I need to finish working on that song.

(Because my goal is still to compose songs that can save people...)

(For as long as I can...)

But...

I'm okay, and I'm sorry for making you worry...

Thank you for listening.

I feel a little better now.

I'll come back once our song's finished...

Kanade...

Okay...

...

Interesting...

(I didn't know that's why she's composing these songs.)

(Which is likely striking a chord with Mafuyu.)

(And yet...)

She clearly tried to suppress whatever she was feeling just now...
