(Maybe dad will be awake today.)

2
Character icon
Kanade

(But even if he is awake, which “dad” is he going to be...?)

3
Character icon
Kanade

(Here's to hoping for a real conversation...)

Mr. Yoisaki's hospital
4
Character icon
Kanade

Hello...

5
Character icon
Nurse

Oh, Kanade. Hello.

6
Character icon
Nurse

You came at a good time.

Your father's awake.

7
Character icon
Kanade

What? He is...?

8
Character icon
Nurse

However, it's difficult to say how much he can remember at the moment...

9
Character icon
Kanade

Thank you...

I'll try talking to him.

10
Character icon
Kanade

Good morning.

Or afternoon, I guess...

11
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Hm? Ah, good afternoon.

12
Character icon
Kanade

How are you doing?

13
Character icon
Kanade's Father

I, uh...

14
Character icon
Kanade's Father

I'm sorry. I'm not sure I got your name.

15
Character icon
Kanade's Father

I apologize for not remembering...

Apparently, stress from work caused my memory to become pretty jumbled.

16
Character icon
Kanade

I see...

17
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Again, I'm so sorry. After you came all this way to visit. I can't seem to remember anything about my family either...

18
Character icon
Kanade

Your family...?

19
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Yes.

We're actually about to become parents.

20
Character icon
Kanade's Father

My wife's in her second trimester and her belly's been growing so much...

21
Character icon
Kanade's Father

I know that I need to be by her side as much as possible, but look at me... How can I in this state...?

22
Character icon
Kanade

...

23
Character icon
Kanade

Please don't say that.

24
Character icon
Kanade

I know that you're a kind person who cares about his family very much, Mr. Yoisaki.

25
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Haha. Thank you.

Also, I didn't catch your name...

26
Character icon
Kanade

It's Kanade...

27
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Kanade? What a coincidence.

We're thinking about calling our baby that.

28
Character icon
Kanade's Father

My wife and I love music very much, so we're hoping that we'll be able to enjoy it together as a family...

29
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Look at me. I'm just rambling on about myself.

30
Character icon
Kanade

No, please, don't mind me...

31
Character icon
Kanade

I hope you get better soon.

Especially for your family's sake...

32
Character icon
Kanade's Father

Me too. Thank you very much.

33
Character icon
Nurse

He went back in time quite a ways today...

34
Character icon
Kanade

Yes, he did...

But I'm glad that I got to see him doing so well.

35
Character icon
Kanade

Anyways, I've dropped off his change of clothes, so if you'll excuse me...

36
Character icon
Nurse

Wait, Kanade...!

37
Character icon
Kanade

...

38
Character icon
Kanade

(I have no right to feel this sad...)

39
Character icon
Kanade

(I'm the one that did this to dad.)

40
Character icon
Kanade

(I don't have time to feel bad.

I have to keep composing.)

41
Character icon
Kanade

(I have to save Mafuyu. I have to save as many people as I can with my music.)

42
Character icon
Mizuki

(Hm...?)

43
Character icon
Mizuki

(Is that Kanade...?

Oh, maybe she's on her way home after visiting her dad.)

44
Character icon
Mizuki

(But I probably shouldn't butt in unannounced. Plus, we'll talk on Nightcord later, so I guess I don't need to go up to her now and...)

45
Character icon
Mizuki

Hang on... What? She's not using an umbrella!

46
Character icon
Mizuki

(She'll catch a cold if she doesn't...

She looks so sad too...

Could something have happened to her?)

47
Character icon
Mizuki

...

48
Character icon
Mizuki

Forget it...!

Hey, Kanade!

49
Character icon
Kanade

Mizuki...?

What are you doing here...?

50
Character icon
Mizuki

I'm on my way home from work.

More importantly, why are you walking around in the rain without an umbrella? You'll get sick, you know?

51
Character icon
Kanade

Oh, I was just thinking about something...

52
Character icon
Mizuki

You were?

53
Character icon
Mizuki

(Something definitely happened...)

54
Character icon
Mizuki

(She's really been pushing herself with that new song too. I can't just leave her like this...)

55
Character icon
Mizuki

(But...)

56
Character icon
Kanade

I have to finish that song...

57
Character icon
Mizuki

Huh?

58
Character icon
Kanade

It won't help Mafuyu at all at this rate. I have to keep working on it...

59
Character icon
Kanade

Sorry, I need to go home...

60
Character icon
Mizuki

Huh? Hey, hold on one sec!!

61
Character icon
Mizuki

There's a super cute cafe just around the corner here. Wanna check it out together, Kanade?

62
Character icon
Kanade

But I have to...

63
Character icon
Mizuki

It'll just be for a little bit!

A little break before you get back to that song!

64
Character icon
Kanade

Sure, but...

65
Character icon
Mizuki

Great!

Let's go!

66
Character icon
Kanade

Huh? But... M-Mizuki...?!
