Ah, sorry for spacing out. It's just that I think I know the person who let you have the CD for you to buy, Hoshino-san.

(I copied most of that song, but changed the parts that I thought needed changing...)

At this rate, I won't be able to resonate with Mafuyu's heart... I have to... keep writing...

Huh? Yuki...? I hardly ever see you at this time. Don't you usually still have cram school during days off?

Ena: (But I can't help but wonder if a part of her was trying to break free of all that. I mean, she went through the trouble of making her own version of Kanade's song...)

❄️: Let’s get to work. 🎼: Yuki? You’re on quite early today.

❄️: I'll be fine here. My house is just close by. 🎼: You sure you'll be okay? ❄️: Yeah. I feel better enough to walk home properly. 🎼: ...Alright, I understand. Be careful on your way home.

🎼: Sorry about that, Yuki... Anyway, where were we? ❄️: I don't mind... But you forgot to mute yourself, K. 🎼: Huh? Oh, again, I'm sorry... But to be fair, she usually calls to see how I'm doing. ❄️: It's okay, K. You don't need to apologize.

Cheerful Carnival Team Name: Team "I'm Sure It's In Here Somewhere"

(...Maybe the answer to what Kanade's song made me feel lies in my memories from back then...?)

Someone left a comment for my video...? Who could it be...? Wait, is this...?

Yuki? Sure. Good to see you.

But if Kanade hadn’t told me to write it, I probably wouldn’t.

...I don’t know what other people might think of how you’re changing, but… If you’re feeling less discomfort towards yourself, then that means change is definitely occurring, I think. I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out whether it’s good or bad from here on out.

…She listened to it.

❄️: I'll take you to the nearest electronics store. You're looking for an air purifier, right? 🎼: Yeah. I clean my room, but it still feels like the air is always filled with dust.

Mizuki: (They're both still carrying some of that pain, but they're also looking for ways to move forward... It's like they're trying to show each other the way down this long, dark path.)

❄️: ...More importantly, Kanade. Is the image for the song coming along? 🎼: ...Not yet. 🎼: I got some ideas coming along but when it comes to turning it into a song...

Also, you should open your window from time to time since air purifiers are only capable of so much.

I gave it a go myself, and it was pretty interesting. So, do you wanna try?

That person I was trying to help that I told you about... I invited her to join me. Because of that, I feel like I understand her struggles and what's on her mind better now.

❄️: I didn't notice the other day, but you keep so many things in here... 🎼: Yes, I do. I hope we find your ID...

I listened to that artist everyone was talking about the other day, but I don't see what's so great. There's something off about the lyrics.

🎼: I mean, that's because I... ❄️: ...Is it about your dad? 🎼: Yeah. For my dad's sake too, I have to keep composing "songs that are capable of saving someone."

(I want K to stay healthy because I want her to keep her promise...?)

🥧: Um, about the person you wanted to help before, can I ask what happened afterwards? 🎼: Sure. Let's see... to put it simply, not much has changed... 🎼: But recently, the song I made seems to have resonated with her a little bit.

❄️: Kanade? Is something wrong? 🎼: I was searching for you. You always log in at around this time, but you weren’t there. ❄️: So it’s already that late.

That’s why, I ask you, please save her. By your side, she will soon appear, Kanade. "That girl" will…

🎼: Sorry I'm a little late, but let's start with today's work. ❄️: Ah... K, can I ask you something first? 🎼: Sure, what is it? ❄️: Have you eaten properly? 🎼: Yeah I just had my dinner... why do you ask? ❄️: All right, then. 🎼: Huh...?

❄️: But then, why a movie? 🎼: Why, you ask… Because a song in the movie was written by a famous music director, and I saw people on the internet saying that it was really good.

Maybe with this person, I'll be able to do more...

Until I can find myself, you have to keep making songs! That's...!!

Mafuyu's response to Kanade: ...I'll be waiting for you.

Just like that time when Mafuyu smiled while listening to my song, I want to be able to compose music that can reach even more people.

(What if Yuki also thinks that she’s similar to that marionette, just like Miku said. Then... !)

🎼: I'm the only one that could hear it...?! Th-that, don't tell me it's the real one... ❄️: The reason we can't hear it, isn't it because the sound is a little quiet?

Yeah. Now we're just waiting for Mafuyu.

...I want her to smile.

🎼: …Yuki. If you’re there, say something. ❄️: —I’m here. 🎼: I see. That’s good.

Thank you, Yuki. I’ll look over them.

It felt like you were just answering Amia’s question when you were talking about the sports carnival… but it also felt like you were telling us about that junior simply because you yourself wanted to do so.

I was wondering if Kanade's living an irregular life since she might be too absorbed in her songwriting. But with Mochizuki-san here, I guess she should be fine.

🎼: Mafuyu, are you alright? Can you hear me? ❄️: ...Kana.. de...?

Luka: But Kanade helped to show you the way. With her own "feelings"

🎼: Mafuyu. ❄️: Oh, Kanade...

Still, K, I think you should make better use of your room.

Oh, but Mafuyu might not be able to eat these in her current state. How can I make them easier to eat...?

(Ah… K’s already logged in.)

Hey. Yuki. This song. You made it… didn’t you.

🎼: Um... sorry, but I just need a quick break... 🎨: Huh? Are you alright, Kanade?! ❄️: Maybe you should work on your stamina. 🎼: Ugh...
