Phew...

(Mizuki helped remind me about a lot of things today.)

Kanade

(I'm still not sure what kind of song will save Mafuyu, but that's okay...)

4
Character icon
Kanade

I just have to keep trying.

No matter how long it takes.

A few hours later
5
Character icon
Kanade

No, this won't work...

6
Character icon
Kanade

It feels like I've taken a step closer, but some things are still missing...

7
Character icon
Kanade

It needs to be softer and gentler...

8
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

9
Character icon
Kanade

My music box...

10
Character icon
Kanade

Right, like this...

11
Character icon
Kanade

(It's so gentle and warm, like I'm being wrapped in a blanket. Dad's songs have these qualities.)

12
Character icon
Kanade

(Qualities that my songs don't have...)

13
Character icon
Kanade

(But what am I missing? How did dad capture these feelings so well...?)

14
Character icon
Kanade

(When he made this song, he was...)

15
Character icon
Kanade's Father

As long as my music makes you and your mother smile, I'll be more than happy.

16
Character icon
Kanade

As long as it made us smile even a little bit...

17
Character icon
Kanade

(Dad sang that song because he wanted mom and me to smile...)

18
Character icon
Kanade

(So what's my goal?

What do I want for Mafuyu?)

19
Character icon
Kanade

(I... I just don't want her to disappear...)

20
Character icon
Kanade

(No, that's just a personal desire. I want her to stay so that I don't get hurt...)

21
Character icon
Kanade

(What do I want her to feel? What do I want her to do?)

22
Character icon
Kanade

(I want her to be her the way she wants to be... I think...)

23
Character icon
Kanade

(But I don't know who that Mafuyu is. What's going to happen when she does find the “real” her?)

24
Character icon
Kanade

*Sigh*...

25
Character icon
Kanade

I really wasn't thinking about Mafuyu's best interests, was I...?

26
Character icon
Kanade

I'll be stuck in a loop at this rate...

27
Character icon
Luka

What is it that you want people to see or realize by hearing this?

28
Character icon
Kanade

What do I want people to realize...?

29
Character icon
Kanade

What do I want Mafuyu to realize...?

30
Character icon
Kanade's Mother

Your father's music always finds a way to make me smile.

31
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

32
Character icon
Kanade

(It's that.)

33
Character icon
Kanade

(I'm not sure I can put it into words but...)

34
Character icon
Kanade

(I want her to be able to feel a lot of different emotions like mom did back then...)

35
Character icon
Kanade

I want her to smile...

36
Character icon
Kanade

Done...

37
Character icon
Kanade

This seems completely different from anything I made before...

38
Character icon
Kanade

(What kind of expression will Mafuyu have on her face after listening to this?)

39
Character icon
Kanade

(I'm a little nervous...)

40
Character icon
Kanade

No...

41
Character icon
Kanade

I want all of them to listen to it.

42
Character icon
Kanade

<Hello? Are you all here?>
