Oh... Kanade, they're here...

I know you're both busy and were just about to get started, but thanks for meeting me here.

Nah, it's all good! I just sat down a second ago so it's not like I was really doing anything.

Same here.

And Mafuyu said she'll be running late, right...?

Yes. She said she has to get ready for cram school.

So what are we doing? Listening to another song?

Yes. There's something I'd like you to listen to. Would that be alright, Rin?

Fine.

You feel pretty good about it...?

I do.

I'm not sure if it'll strike a chord with Mafuyu but... Oh...

Mafuyu...

Is it true that you made a new demo...?

Yes.

More than that, it's basically a full song.

Would you like to listen to it...?

Yes, that's why I'm here.

You could say that a little nicer, you know? She went through the trouble of making this for you...

I didn't mean to be rude.

I'm saying the way you naturally talk is rude!

I see.

Ugh... You...!

Okay, okay! Relax!

Let's just settle down and listen to Kanade's song!

Right, here it goes.

(How's Mafuyu reacting...?)

Oh...

(This one didn't work either...)

It finished...

Yeah, we know, we listened to it too.

Don't you have anything else to say?

Anything else...?

I'm not sure how to describe it...

But I liked it, I think...

Huh...?

Mafuyu smiled...?!

...?

Why do you all look so surprised?

Wait, you have no idea what you just did?

You smiled, Mafuyu! It's because of Kanade's song!

I am...?

What made you smile?

Was it the chorus?

I don't know...

I don't know but...

It felt... Warm...

Mafuyu...

Now I understand.

What?

That is what you all want to feel.

I see...

I finally get it, dad.

<I'm logging off now.>

<Me too. Good night, you two.>

<See ya! Night, Yuki, Enanan!>

<Whoa, it's pretty late.

I'm gonna head off in a bit too.>

<Okay.>

<Thanks again, Amia...>

<I was able to compose that song because you helped me open my eyes.>

<I opened your eyes...? Haha. You're exaggerating way too much, K.>

<But that's good...>

<I'm glad that I was able to help.>

(I opened her eyes, huh...?)

(For the longest time, I had such a cynical view of the world and just assumed that none of it mattered...)

(But if Kanade's saying that I was actually able to help her, I guess the things I've done up to this point weren't a complete waste.)

(She's such an incredible human being too...)

(Not only does she have to take care of her dad, she keeps making all these songs even though she's dealing with so many other things.)

(She works tirelessly to try and save people.)

Giving up has probably never crossed her mind...

Will I be able to change if I do that too?

But still...

Kanade's really something else.

She's the reason the old me and the current me have been able to keep going.

Alright, I need to try a little harder too. I don't have a big goal or anything yet...

But I can start by making a music video that fits this song perfectly!
