Huff... Huff...
If you're willing to give up after just that, then it's obviously not important enough.
But that's not the case, is it?
So quit lying to yourself.
...
I'm not lying to myself... I...!
I should go to bed...
Mom said that I need to stop staying up late to study...
She's doing everything she can to destroy who you really are. How can you even think about showing her any mercy?
Oh, come on. Open your eyes.
You know exactly what she's trying to do. But you just keep—
...!
No...!
(I just need to fall asleep. Then, I won't have to think about all this...)
(I don't want to think about all of this...)
(I just want it all to stop...)
...
(I can't fall asleep...)
(My head's spinning...
I feel sick...)
I dropped my phone...
Oh...
It's 25:00...
(But I'm not supposed to work on...)
Wait...
I can listen to something...
One of Kanade's... N25's songs...
...
(So warm...)
(Why do Kanade's songs all feel so...?)
(Oh, it ended...
I think I'll listen to it again...)
Huh...? This song...
(Is it the new demo Kanade sent over the other day...? I'd forgotten that I downloaded it to my phone to listen to later...)
...
(The melody... It's so beautiful and calming... The atmosphere it creates makes me want to...)
Huh...?
Why am I writing lyrics...?
No, I need to stop...
Mom said that I need to sleep...
I need to stop, but...
(I thought that pain was finally gone...)
(But it's starting to come back...)
The volume... I just need to raise it higher...
...
(Just for a little while longer...)
(I want to keep listening to Kanade's song...)
(I want to keep writing lyrics for her...)
...
(I should keep the lights turned off...
I can take notes on my phone for now...)
(How do I put this part into words...?)
