Hmm?

What's my computer doing?

Looks like a music file.

Who sent it to me?

Huh?! Why did the screen just flash?!

Where...am I?

...

Who are you?

I'm Miku.

Miku, as in...Hatsune Miku?

So this was how Mafuyu and this SEKAI's version of me met for the first time...

(She doesn't know who the real her is, and desperately wants to find out...)

(But that's much easier said than done...)

(At this point in time, Mafuyu has no idea what her true feelings are.)

(Simultaneously, this SEKAI's me wasn't really sure how she was going to help her.)

(But still...)

Miku.

Mafuyu, you're here...

*Nod*

I thought writing a song would help me discover my true feelings, but I'm still having trouble...

I see...

This SEKAI really is empty.

But I understand why...

Because it's based on my feelings...

...

Do you think I'll ever know...?

Don't worry.

I'll help you find the real you.

Okay...

Um, Miku...?

Yes?

Can I stay here for a little while longer...?

Of course.

This is your SEKAI after all, Mafuyu.

Thank you...

(That's right...)

(This SEKAI ends up becoming a very important place for Mafuyu.)

(Naturally, for this version of me as well...)

<I listened to your mix of that song, Yuki. Thank you for doing that.>

Oh...

<Thank you, K.

What did you think...?>

<It was much deeper than I was expecting. I thought I was being tossed into this dark and quiet chasm of despair.>

<But I also felt like I was searching for the light. That was really well done...>

<Hehe. That was present in the demo you made, K. All I did was add a few more sounds on top of that...>

<Still, I believe you've helped make it a lot better. So, Yuki, thank you.>

<You're welcome...>

(I felt something while listening to this song too, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for...)

(But someday...)

(Someday, I'll find...)

I really appreciate you always helping me, Asahina, but I feel bad about making you do this during your lunch break.

No, this is nothing.

You needed me to carry these papers over to the classroom, yes?

Yes, that would be incredibly helpful!

Also, if you have time...

I heard from your teacher that you've decided to become a class representative, Mafuyu. Is that true?

Yes, it is...

Everyone said that I should take the job.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

Be sure to do your very best, okay?

But try not to be too helpful either, since those receiving your assistance won't be able to grow as individuals.

Hehe. I'll be careful.

Thanks for the warning, Mom.

Are you feeling okay, Mafuyu...?

Miku...

I'm okay... I think...

But I'm so tired...

I've looked and looked, but still haven't found any answers...

This void inside of me just keeps growing and growing.

Now... I just want to disappear...

Mafuyu...

But your true feelings...

My true feelings...?

If I can't find them after searching this much...

Then I can't help but wonder if they exist at all...

B-But...

I'm done.

More to the point, Miku...

I just want to stay in this SEKAI forever.

Oh...

...

...

I want to help Mafuyu find her true feelings...

But that won't happen at this rate...

What do I do...?

Oh...

This song...

It's the one by that person Mafuyu's been working with...

This SEKAI is completely empty, with the exception of this song...

Then...

The person who made this song might be able to help find the real Mafuyu.

I think I'll go see her...

For Mafuyu's sake...

Thank you.

For trying so hard all by yourself in this empty SEKAI, just for her.

For doing your best to keep her feelings safe.

...?

I know you can...

I can't do anything to help...

But I'll always be watching over you.

Now and forever.

Oh...

What happened...?

Just now... I felt all this warmth...
