<I guess that's it for today.

Why don't we head back to SEKAI?>

<Okay. That was fun.>

<Night, Miku, Luka...>

Oh, Miku and Luka are back...

Rin, MEIKO, we're back.

You two going to see the others is pretty rare.

To be fair, Luka made me go.

Hehe. I couldn't help myself.

...

But you're glad you went, right?

Yes. It was nice hearing their stories.

What stories?

About the things that happened before we were here, or this SEKAI for that matter.

I see...

Why don't you tell them more, Miku?

Um, okay. So...

So that's how Kanade and Mafuyu first met...

Yes.

Initially, this SEKAI had nothing in it.

No people either.

But there was Kanade's song.

Which means her song had that much of an effect on Mafuyu.

Yes, but only Kanade's song...

As a result, she began making her own music out of wanting to know exactly why.

But to be fair, she started out by making a different arrangement of one of Kanade's old songs.

Nonetheless, she was in so much pain and had no idea what to do, but she felt compelled to do anything she could about it...

Both Kanade and Mafuyu were apparently dealing with quite a bit back then...

But they seem better now.

I agree. They're still carrying some of that pain, but that's not the whole story.

Mafuyu isn't alone anymore.

Although they each carry a different kind of pain, the others are there for her now.

See? Isn't it nice to actually do something for a change instead of just waiting around?

Yes.

Luka...

Hey, I didn't specifically say that a certain someone should change their ways.

Here we go again...

Don't you two ever get sick of doing this?

Um...

Luka, you did startle me quite a bit by taking me over there the way you did, but I'm glad I went.

So... Thank you.

You're very welcome.
