<It's good... The part Yuki arranged was very well done.>
<I agree♪
Feels like that part made K's composition even more appealing than usual?>
<You think so?>
<Well, it's pretty much Yuki's usual stuff, though?>
<Which means you think she's usually fantastic, right?>
<Hey, I said nothing of that sort. Having to go along with her was why we posted this new song late in the first place, so that was the least she could do for us.>
<Oh, Enanan, tough outside but soft inside, she is♪>
<Since there are no issues, I'll be logging off soon.>
<What? Already? It's earlier than you usually do, though.>
<I have a committee meeting before morning assembly tomorrow.>
<Okay. You should definitely turn in early today, then.>
<Good night, Yuki.>
<Night♪>
I have to get ready for bed...
Oh... My fish tank.
(It just draws me in for some reason.)
(There's nothing inside except aquatic plants and sand...)
(It's just like me. An empty vessel with nothing inside...)
(Or, at least, that's what I've always thought.
Until...)
Miku, that song...
How do you know that song?
Why?
I've known this song from the beginning.
I have been singing this song since this SEKAI was first created.
(Miku in the SEKAI born from my feelings knew this song from the start. Which means...)
Kanade's song was inside me.
(So, I'm not...am empty vessel after all? Besides...)
<Yuki, you said before that you can't feel or understand happiness and joy, but I have a different opinion.
<I think, you've probably just convinced yourself that you can't.>
<How else would you be able to write lyrics like these?>
(If Kanade is right, then I should be able to feel as well.)
(But then, why can I still not feel anything now?)
!!
Why am I...thinking of that doll again?
It makes me feel sick...
(It makes me feel sick, pain, and agony.)
(I don't need this.
If that's what feelings are like, then I should just do away with all of them—)
Oh, but...
Mafuyu, you're really pale! What happened?
You're not feeling well?
(She came running over almost immediately back then...)
(Hm?)
...
(The agony is slowly ebbing away?)
(This is...a strange feeling.)
(But it's similar.)
(It's similar to the sensations I feel when I meet with Miku in SEKAI and chat with her...)
...
(This doesn't feel painful or agonizing.
I should keep this feeling with me.)
(The way I kept Kanade's song that Miku sang...)
