Oh...

Hello, Mafuyu.

Are you by yourself today?

Yes. I wanted to pass time before 25:00.

Okay.

Do you want to play cat's cradle together?

Not interested.

Oh. That's too bad. It's fun.

...

Do you mind if I sing?

No?

You mind?

No, I don't mind at all.

(It's the first time Mafuyu has ever asked to sing...)

...

(These feelings...what are they?)

(Uneasiness, happiness, and sadness...)

(Are these Mafuyu's feelings?)

Haa...

I've never heard that song before.

Yes, we made it just recently.

Oh, okay. With what feelings?

Feelings...

I don't know.

...

I just turned the feelings of disgust I felt when I saw the marionette into lyrics, that's all.

Then Kanade composed a song for it.

Okay.

Kanade found you again, then.

Huh?

She turned the feelings you weren't aware of into a song for you.

I guess...

I wouldn't have thought about writing the lyrics myself if she hadn't asked me to.

Yeah.

...

Doesn't that just make it so that I'm only doing what Kanade's telling me to, this time?

That means the lyrics I wrote...they don't represent my true feelings?

I don't think so.

...

She may have given you the idea.

But those feelings you put into the lyrics that you wrote were definitely your own.

My own...feelings.

That...would be nice.

That would be really nice.
