Feelings That Were Buried

Side Story 1


Live House
MC: Give it up for tonight's headliner! Vivid BAD SQUAD!!
Akito: You guys can keep going, right?!
An: Because we're about to blow the roof off this place! Here we go! Try to keep up, alright?!
Kohane & Toya: ——! ————! ———~~~!
An & Akito: ——! ————! ———!
Everyone: ♪————————!!


Kamiyama Street
Kohane: Phew... I'm glad we were able to sing really well...
Toya: Me too. I feel like we're singing the parts where we split into pairs and when we're all together much better now.
An: Yeah, I thought so too! It's gotta be because we're all on the same wavelength!
Akito: This might've been a case of actually talking about what we were imagining leading to real results in terms of singing.
Toya: I agree. I definitely think we've taken another step forward as a team.
An: We have Kohane to thank for absorbing everything Uncle Taiga taught her too!
Kohane: Hehe. I'm glad I could help you guys.
Toya: (Help us... As a team...)
Luka: <Hehe. I think you're selling yourself too short.>
Luka: <I believe everyone possesses some sort of “unique talent”.>
Toya: (Isn't there anything I can do for us as a team...?)
The next day
Toya's Room
Toya: (Practice today doesn't start until this afternoon. I can work on some things on my own until...)
Toya: A message...? From Azusawa?
Kohane: <Sorry to bother you before practice. There's something I'd like to ask you.>
Toya: Ask me...?
Kohane: <Taiga asked me to listen to some classical music to practice seeing different things from a variety of perspectives.>
Kohane: <I tried looking up some works by Beethoven and Debussy.>
Kohane: <But I was wondering if you had any other suggestions.>
Toya: I see...
Kohane: <Again, I'm sorry. Initially, I was hesitant about asking you this kind of question...>
Kohane: <But Shinonome said that you wouldn't have a problem with it.>
Toya: ...
Akito: I understand...
Akito: But what you did is different, Toya. You chose to get back into music again...
Akito: You really gotta love music to do that, right?
Toya: <I appreciate your concern. Akito was right to tell you that. I'll send over a list of composers and suitable works.>


Kohane: <I didn't realize there were so many. Thank you so much! Can I show An and Shinonome what you just sent me?>
Toya: <Of course. It may be good for us to all listen to some of them.>
Kohane: <Good idea! I'll post a message to our group chat!>
Toya: I'm glad I could help...
Toya: (But...)
Toya: (That's the extent of my knowledge... Classical music...)
Toya: (I know I need to do more if I ever hope to contribute in a more meaningful way...)
Toya: But I...
Street SEKAI
Toya: ...
Toya: (I need to get my head back in the right place before practice...)
Miku: Hm? Toya? Practice isn't until much later, right?
Toya: Oh, um... I just...
Miku: ...
Miku: Is there something you'd like to talk about?
Toya: Yes, there is... Would you mind listening for a bit...?


Miku: A way to make better use of your knowledge and experience with classical music for the sake of your team, huh...?
Toya: Yes...
Toya: I never had a chance to participate in school events or even play with my friends much for that matter.
Toya: As a result, I've experienced so much less in life compared to the others...
Toya: Classical music is the only area in which I've clearly experienced more than them.
Miku: ...
Toya: That's all I really have. So, I want to make better use of what I know...
Toya: However, I ran away from classical music...
Toya: So I have no right speaking about it...
Miku: But what do you want to do about that, Toya...?
Toya: Huh...?
Miku: Don't give me that. You're doing that thing again.
Miku: Right and wrong are just words. Have you asked yourself what you want to do?
Toya: ...
Toya: But...
Toya: (What do I want to do...?)
Toya: I...
Toya: ...! Did something flash just now...?
Miku: Oh, look at that... It's a fragment of a feeling.
Toya: A fragment of a feeling? Is that what this ball of light is?
Miku: Yes. SEKAI are born out of feelings, so similar feelings can sometimes manifest themselves within SEKAI like this.
Toya: Just a fragment...?
Miku: Yes. It's just that. Not enough to become a full-fledged SEKAI, so it'll return to being just light in a moment.
Miku: (But it flashed just now... Did that happen because Toya went near it...?)
Toya: A fragment of a feeling, huh? This place really never ceases to surprise me.
Miku: It's just that sort of place.
Miku: Anyway, Toya... Would you like to take a closer look at this fragment?
Toya: Huh? Wait, wouldn't that be rude to the owner of this feeling...?
Miku: But it's going to disappear without anyone examining it if you don't.
Miku: Which is why I think it'd be good for us to see what happens in place of its owner. What do you say?
Toya: I see... It would be sad to see it go without anyone actually examining it.
Miku: Try touching it, Toya.
Toya: Okay.
Toya: ...!

Side Story 2


 ???
Toya: This place looks like a mess...
Miku: Yeah, it does... Wait! Toya, stop!
Miku: Phew... There's a hole there so watch out.
Toya: Oh, good eye. Thank you...
Miku: You're welcome. Still...
Miku: This is supposed to be that fragment's SEKAI...
Toya: But this place looks like it's falling apart. It almost hurts just looking at it.
Miku: I feel the same way...
Miku: I'm sorry. Fragments of feelings aren't usually supposed to be dangerous in any way...
Miku: But this floor doesn't look safe. It may not be wise to go any further.
Toya: I see...
Toya: (But I have a feeling there's something up ahead...)
Toya: (I can't describe it... But it's like it wants to be found...)
Toya: ...
Toya: Sorry, Miku. I can't help but wonder. I'm going to take a quick look.
Miku: T-Toya?!


Toya: Oh...
Miku: Are those...? A piano and a violin?
Toya: Yes, I believe so.
Toya: (It's covered in dust, but it doesn't look broken in any way. It might still be playable if I clean it up a little.)
Miku: ...
Miku: The piano and violin still mean a lot to you, right, Toya...?
Toya: Huh?
Miku: You seem relieved that the piano and violin didn't fall through the floor. Am I right in saying that?
Toya: Oh...
Toya: That may be the case...
Miku: What do you mean by that? You need to learn to embrace your feelings more.
Miku: Right and wrong are just words. Have you asked yourself what you want to do?
Toya: Yes, you're right...
Toya: I apologize. I was under the impression that I'd been doing just that lately thanks to everyone around me.
Toya: But I seem to get confused when it comes to classical music.
Toya: Or rather... I'm avoiding it subconsciously because a part of me doesn't want to think about it.
Miku: Avoiding it...? Why's that?
Toya: Because things were easier back then if I did that...
Toya's Father: No. Again.
Little Toya: I'm sorry...
Toya's Father: Again.
Little Toya: But my fingers...
Toya's Father: No. Again. Until you get it right.
Little Toya: Okay...


Toya: I used to admire the way my dad plays the piano...
Toya: He has this way of taking all of the music theory he knows and combining it with everything he's experienced to produce this magnificent sound that perfectly reflects a composer's thought process...
Toya: There was a time when I dreamed of being able to do the same thing someday.
Toya: I wanted to practice and work hard to meet my parents' expectations.
Miku: But I [sic] had to suffer for it and was never allowed to say what was on my mind...
Miku: I see... I have a better understanding of why you were putting your feelings at arm's length.
Miku: Admitting that as being true would've caused your motivation to crumble to pieces, so it was easier to just never think about it...
Toya: In retrospect, that may be what I was doing...
Toya: Ultimately, I wasn't able to keep fooling myself and ran away from classical music.
Miku: ...
Miku: I wouldn't say that you “ran away”.
Miku: I understand that you wanted to make your parents proud but couldn't meet their expectations...
Miku: But isn't it about time you let all that go and forgive yourself?
Toya: What...?
Miku: To be fair, your partner being such a stoic person might not have helped...
Miku: But I'm hoping that you'll take this opportunity to see yourself in a more positive light.
Toya: More positive...?
Miku: For example, as opposed to saying, “Classical music is all I have...”
Miku: You could say, “I will always have classical music.”
Toya: ...!
Miku: I'd even go as far as adding, “I like classical music and respect my dad very much.” Especially since you've already faced up to him and your feelings.
Miku: I really don't think it needs to be more difficult than that.
Toya: I...
Miku: Let me ask you this again, Toya.
Miku: The piano and violin still mean a lot to you, right, Toya...?
Toya: I...
Toya: Yes...
Toya: The piano and violin are both...
Toya: Oh...
Miku: We're back. How do you feel, Toya?
Toya: Thank you. I'm okay.
Toya: But...
Toya: Did we have to leave that piano and violin all alone there?
Miku: Hmm... It's a SEKAI born from a fragment of a feeling, so it'll be up to that feeling...
Miku: What do you hope will happen to them, Toya?
Toya: What do I hope...?
Toya: I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking that far ahead.
Miku: Hehe. Then, that may be a good place for you to start.
Toya: Yes, you may be right.
Toya: Thank you, Miku. You've opened my eyes quite a bit.
Miku: You're welcome, but I'm also glad that I got to know you a little better.
Miku: Oh, you still have some time until practice. How about we stop by MEIKO's place for a quick break?
Toya: Yes, let's.
