Mafuyu's Room 
Mafuyu
And X=Y... Q.E.D...
Mafuyu
I'm finally done with homework for today...
Mafuyu
And it's almost 25:00... I need to log onto Nightcord.
*Notification*
Mafuyu
<Is anybody there?>
Mafuyu
No response... Looks like they're not even logged in.
Mafuyu
Oh, that's right... We're supposed to meet in SEKAI today.
Mafuyu
Kanade wanted to talk in person about the video and lyrics for our new song.
Mafuyu
(That song Kanade made...)
Mafuyu
I'm not sure how to describe it...
Mafuyu
But I liked it, I think...
Kanade
Huh...?
Mizuki
Mafuyu smiled...?!
Mafuyu
Why do you all look so surprised?
Ena
Wait, you have no idea what you just did?
Mizuki
You smiled, Mafuyu! It's because of Kanade's song!
Mafuyu
I did...?
Mafuyu
(That song...)
Mafuyu
(It started off like any other song, but something began welling up inside my chest as I kept listening.)
Mafuyu
(Yet it felt different somehow...)
Mafuyu
It felt... A little warm...
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
How did that happen?
Mafuyu
Why did that song make me feel that way?
Mafuyu
Why did I smile...?
Mafuyu
... I'm starting to get a headache...
Empty SEKAI 
Miku
Oh, Mizuki's here...
Kanade
Okay, that just leaves Mafuyu.
Luka
Hehe. This SEKAI's quietness had a nice charm to it, but it is nice to have visitors like this from time to time.
Mizuki
Sorry, am I late to the party?
Ena
Yeah, you are! Where were you? Do you know how long you kept us waiting?
Mizuki
Okay, I said I'm sorry. I found these really cute materials for our video and sort of lost track of time after I started playing around with them...
Mizuki
Also, where's Mafuyu?
Kanade
She should be here soon. She said that she just finished doing her homework.
Mizuki
Okay, sounds good. Time to hurry up and wait! What should we do in the meantime? How about a word game?
Ena
No way. We're not little kids, you know?
Mizuki
Aww, come on! Don't be like that...
Mafuyu
I'm here...
Mizuki
Hey, Mafuyu, there you are!
Mafuyu
Sorry for being late.
Kanade
No, it's okay. We knew that you were busy.
Rin
So what are you actually doing here today...? You mentioned something about having a discussion.
Kanade
Remember that song I composed the other day? I want to find a way to make it so it resonates with more people.
Kanade
I asked everyone to meet here today to talk about what I'd like this song to do before we gave it lyrics and made a video for it.
Miku
Resonate with more people...?
Ena
If we're gonna make that happen, I'll have to up my art game!
Mizuki
Yeah. It was clear to me how much effort you put into that song, Kanade.
Mizuki
I mean, it was so good! Like K's reached a whole new level!
Mizuki
Not only that, you made Mafuyu smile. Who would've guessed that would happen?
Ena
True... That honestly left me a little staggered.
Mizuki
I know, right? I can't wait to see what kind of lyrics you write for this song, Mafuyu!
Mizuki
Uh, Mafuyu...?
Mafuyu
...
Mizuki
Is something wrong...?
Mafuyu
No...
Ena
Are you sure? You seem more expressionless than usual...
Kanade
Did something happen...?
Mafuyu
...
Luka
Oh, I see...
Luka
She's found the key to the door that she's been searching for, but doesn't know where the keyhole is, maybe?
Kanade
The keyhole...? I don't understand...
Luka
It's difficult to explain, but I believe Mafuyu knows what I mean.
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
I just don't understand...
Kanade
Mafuyu...?
Mafuyu
I kept running circles in my head thinking about why your song made me smile, Kanade...
Mafuyu
Something welled up inside my chest that time. That's probably what made me smile.
Mafuyu
But I don't understand why that happened... I just don't know.
Ena
What do you mean why? You felt that way because Kanade's song really touched your heart, right...?
Mafuyu
It did...?
Mafuyu
But why was I so touched by it?
Mafuyu
No other song has made me feel this way so far. Why this song? Why did it feel so warm?
Ena
H-How am I supposed to know...?!
Kanade
But you want to know why you smiled...
Mizuki
You might not know now, but you might find the answer you're looking for if you give it a little time, right...?
Mizuki
But at the same time, you probably want to know why before you start writing your lyrics, huh?
Mafuyu
...
Miku
What do you think, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu
I...
Mafuyu
I want to find an answer...
Ena
Look, we get that... But how exactly do you plan on doing that?
Mafuyu
Well...
Kanade
Then, why don't we think about it together...?
Mafuyu
Together...?
Kanade
Yes. I too want to learn more about why you felt the way you did, Mafuyu.
Kanade
So let's find an answer together, okay...?
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
Okay. Sure.
Mafuyu
But how exactly do I...
Mafuyu
...
Miku
Mafuyu...?!
Kanade
Mafuyu, what's wrong?!
Mizuki
Uh oh, hold up...! Mafuyu, mind if I feel your forehead?
*Shuffling*
Mizuki
Whoa, you're burning up...!
Ena
Wait, you're running a fever?! Are you sure you're okay?!
Mafuyu
Yes. I'm just feeling a little lightheaded...
Ena
That hardly counts as being okay. Ugh, there really aren't any dull moments when it comes to you...
Kanade
Let's postpone this discussion until after Mafuyu's fever breaks...
Kanade
Please, go home and get some rest.
Mafuyu
Okay...
Mizuki
Alright, let's call it an evening, and make sure to get some good sleep in, Mafuyu.
Ena
Don't forget to stay warm and hydrated too.
Miku
Mafuyu...
Mafuyu
Thank you... I'm sure it's just a cold, so I should be all better soon.
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
(A fever. That explains why my head felt so heavy and foggy this morning...)
Mafuyu
(I should rest... But...)
Mafuyu
(I still want to know why that song made me smile... As soon as possible...)

See you tomorrow.
*Footsteps*
Mafuyu
Ugh...
Mafuyu
(My headache hasn't gotten any better.)
Mafuyu
(As much as I want to get ready for cram school tomorrow, it really might be best if I just rested today.)
Mafuyu
Go home, take some medicine and sleep...
Asahina Household - Living Room Mafuyu
I'm home.
Mafuyu
(Let's see. The medicine should be in the kitchen...)
???
And that time, Mafuyu just...
???
Really...? She did that...?
Mafuyu
...?
Mafuyu
Ah, it's just mom and dad talking...
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, Mafuyu, welcome home.
Mafuyu
Yes, hello... Oh, that's right. Dad didn't have work today.
Mafuyu
What are you two looking at? Is that an album...?
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. Look, Mafuyu. They're pictures of you when you were little.
Mafuyu's Father
Your mother suggested that we look at them after all this time and we ended up chatting for hours.
Mafuyu
Hehe. Really...? I feel a little embarrassed.
Mafuyu's Mother
Honey, look. This was when Mafuyu won a prize for that essay contest she entered in to during the first grade.
Mafuyu's Father
Yes, I still remember. And the one next to it is of her as the heroine of a play.
Mafuyu's Mother
I made this Snow White dress just for you after seeing how dreadfully dull that costume your classmate initially gave you was.
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu's Mother
Mafuyu?
Mafuyu
Uh, it's nothing... I didn't know that. Thank you, mom.
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. It was my pleasure. I mean, you were supposed to be the star of the show. It would've been a shame to see you wear such a thing.
Mafuyu's Father
And you'll be getting ready for entrance exams next year. How do you feel? Do you think you're ready?
Mafuyu's Mother
Since you're aiming for medical school, you'll need to be perfect across the board. If things aren't going well at cram school, just tell me and we can find a new one.
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
(Medical school...)
Mafuyu
I appreciate your support.
Mafuyu
I promise to do my best.
Mafuyu's Father
And we'll be expecting nothing short of great success.
*Footstetps*
Mafuyu's Room Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
(What is this...?)
Mafuyu
(Seeing those photos... It's making my chest hurt...)
Mafuyu
I should take this medicine and go to bed right away. Oh, I need to tell everyone that I can't make it today...
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
But I think I have time to listen to Kanade's song...
???
*Cough* M-Mommy...
???
Mafuyu...
???
Hurry, do that thing...
Mafuyu
Hm...?
Mafuyu
(Was I dreaming...? What was that I just saw...?)
Mafuyu
Oh, Kanade's song is still on... I must've fallen asleep while it was playing...
*Typing*
Mafuyu
(11:30 pm...)
Mafuyu
(My head feels much better after taking that medicine...)
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
(But that pain I felt when I saw those photos of me when I was little still bothers me...)
Mafuyu
(My chest definitely hurt... But it also reminded me of how I feel when I listen to Kanade's song.)
Mafuyu
(Mom and dad should be asleep now too, so maybe I can go look through that album.)
*Door Opening*
*Footsteps*
Mafuyu
(Okay, it should be in the back of this cupboard...)
*Rustling*
Mafuyu
Oh, here it is...
Mafuyu
(I think I was about five when these were taken...)
*Footsteps*
Mafuyu's Mother
Mafuyu? What are you doing up?
Mafuyu
...!
Mafuyu
M-Mom...?
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, you decided to look at that album too? Hehe. Did I make you want to reminisce a little more? Nostalgia does have a way of getting the better of us.
Mafuyu
Yes, I suppose so... I don't remember much from back then, so I wanted to see for myself...
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, but don't you have to get up early tomorrow?
Mafuyu's Mother
Sleep deprivation will take away from your studies. Not only will you not be able to focus during class, your grades may even begin to slip...
Mafuyu's Mother
Of course, you don't need me to tell you that.
Mafuyu
Yes, I'll head off to bed...
Mafuyu
Good night, mom. I'll take this up to my room and look at it tomorrow.
Mafuyu's Mother
Okay. Good night, Mafuyu.
*Footsteps*
Mafuyu
(*Sigh* I managed to get it up here...)

Empty SEKAI Mizuki
Huh? Mafuyu...? Did you say on Nightcord that you weren't feeling great today?
Mizuki
Shouldn't you be in bed right now?
Mafuyu
Yes, but I took some medicine and my fever's gotten much better.
Mafuyu
What are you two doing?
Rin
Mizuki got this new corsage and decided to put it on my skirt for some reason…
Mizuki
Hehe. Sorry, Rin. The second it caught my eye at the store, I was sure that it'd do with your outfit.
Mizuki
But hearing that you caught a cold was a pretty big shock. I mean, if it were Ena instead of you, I wouldn't be surprised considering her lifestyle...
Mafuyu
True…
Mizuki
Oh, did you want some alone time? Would it be better if I left...?
Mafuyu
No, you can stay.
Rin
Mizuki often comes here alone…
Mafuyu
Really? Why’s that?
Mizuki
Huh? Well, um…
Mizuki
It's nothing, really. This place lets me get away from everything, you know?
Mizuki
Whenever I need some time to think of when something's bothering me, I usually end up here...
Mafuyu
I see…
Mizuki
Anyway, whatcha got there? Looks like a really big book...
Mafuyu
It’s an album…
Mizuki
An album? Why?
Mafuyu
My mom and I were looking at some photos of me when I was little, and it made my chest hurt...
Mafuyu
And I have no idea as to why.
Mafuyu
I wouldn't have been able to think clearly at home either, so I came here...
Mizuki
Hmm... So seeing old pictures of yourself is what did this to you...?
Mafuyu
...
Mizuki
Then how about you show me what you were looking at...?!
Mafuyu
Huh?
Mizuki
Hey, remember what Kanade said? We're supposed to help each other out!
Mizuki
That album you have there might give us a hint as to why you felt what you did, right? Which is why we should see what you saw.
Rin
Does we include me…?
Mizuki
Of course it does! You wanna see too, right?
Rin
I am a little curious…
Mizuki
Great! So how about it, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu
Okay…
Mizuki
Awesome! Alright, Rin, let's start flipping through this thing!
Mizuki
Hey, it’s Mafuyu in her archery getup!
Mizuki
That looks so cool! Oh that's right, you did mention that you were in the archery club.
Rin
When’s this from?
Mafuyu
That was taken during a prefectural tournament. We took second place and I was the captain, I think...
Mizuki
What?! The captain?! And you got second?! Look at you, Miss Overachiever!
Mafuyu
It's nothing special, really. I was asked to substitute in as captain is all.
Mizuki
Asked to sub in...? No, Mafuyu, you definitely are special.
Mizuki
Look, it's Mafuyu when she was little! You look adorable!
Mafuyu
I do…?
Mizuki
Yeah! Your cheeks are all red in this picture too...
Mizuki
Hm…?
Mafuyu
What…?
Mizuki
The girl in this pic seems a lot different from the girl sitting next to me.
Rin
Different how?
Mizuki
Yeah. I mean, this little girl looks so happy while eating her birthday cake. Like turning five is the best thing ever.
Mizuki
It's different from your good girl persona, you know?
Mafuyu
It is…?
Rin
Do you know what Mizuki's talking about, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu
No... I've never thought about that before.
Rin
I don't understand either.
Mizuki
It’s hard to describe, but it’s like…
Mizuki
Maybe the Mafuyu back then was able to feel happy in a different way?
Mafuyu
Feel happy in a different way...?
Mafuyu
(Does that mean my past self holds the answer to why I feel the way I do when I listen to Kanade's song...?)
Mafuyu
Uh…!
Mizuki
M-Mafuyu, are you sure you're all right?!
Rin
You lost your balance again…
Mizuki
Yeah, just because you took some medicine doesn't mean you're completely cured...
Mafuyu
It's okay. I think I'm close to finding an answer...
Mizuki
But you don't have to rush like this. Why not go home and get some rest? We can try this again when you feel better!
Mafuyu
But…
Mizuki
You know what'll happen if you keep pushing yourself like this, right?
Mafuyu
Right…
Mizuki
Good. Now get some sleep. Come back when you’re all better, okay?
Mafuyu
Okay. Good night…
Rin
Mafuyu's like Kanade. She doesn't know when to stop...
Mizuki
Yeah…
Rin
Also, Mizuki, how did you make that connection when you saw that picture of Mafuyu when she was little...?
Mizuki
Oh, that…?
Mizuki
I'm pretty good at figuring out what someone's thinking just based on their expression.
Mizuki
Although, I've taken it a little too far in the past, so I try not to do it too much...
Rin
How do you take that too far?
Mizuki
Um, for example…
Mizuki
People don't always say what they mean because they want to hide something from others, right?
Mizuki
But it's easy for me to figure out what's underneath that façade by taking a closer look.
Mizuki
I've taken that too far before and alienated a lot of people...
Rin
I see…
Rin
You’ve been through a lot too, huh?
Mizuki
Huh?
Mizuki
Wait... Are you trying to be nice to me, Rin?
Rin
No, I have no idea what you're talking about. You just cramp my style when you act all mopey around me...
Mizuki
Haha! Really?
Mizuki
But thanks, Rin. I’m much better now compared to back then.
Mizuki
Still…
Mizuki
Some people aren't able to show their real selves to others, while some wander in the dark as they struggle to find their real selves.
Mizuki
I hope Mafuyu discovers her real self soon…
During A Busy Time

The next day Asahina Household - Living Room Mafuyu
Good morning, mom.
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, you're up early. Busy morning I'm guessing?
Mafuyu
Yes, I have some committee business to attend to.
Mafuyu's Mother
Ah, I see...
Mafuyu's Mother
Your peers seem to value you very much, but remember that it's perfectly okay to tell a teacher that you don't want to do something. I'd really rather have you focus on your studies.
Mafuyu
Yes, I know... I'll try asking them about adjusting my workload.
Mafuyu
Anyway, I need to get going. Also, I'll probably be home a little late tonight because of cram school.
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, that's right. Today's your first day of that new class.
Mafuyu's Mother
I'll also be running late tonight due to some neighborhood association business. I'm sorry but you'll have to prepare your own dinner.
Mafuyu
Okay, I understand. Would you like me to make some for you and leave it in the refrigerator for when you get back...?
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. Thank you. I appreciate the thought, but I suspect that we'll be going to dinner afterwards so that won't be necessary.
Mafuyu's Mother
Your father won't be home for some time as well, so please try to make do on your own for tonight.
Mafuyu
Okay. Have a nice day, mom. I'll be going now...
Mafuyu's Mother
Stay safe.
*Door Opening*
*Door Closing*
Miyamasuzaka Mafuyu
If I have even an hour, I should be able to handle everything I need to before our morning assembly...
Mafuyu
I didn't have time to yesterday, so after school, I need to read up on what's going to be covered at cram school today...
Mafuyu
Then I need to provide the teachers a practice schedule for the archery club's first years... Oh, I have a student council meeting and club activities too...
Mafuyu
Another busy day...
Mafuyu
Ugh, my head...
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Corridor Teacher
Thank you very much, Asahina. It's so kind of you to help me carry these things after asking you to handle that committee business.
Mafuyu
I'm happy to help... This would be far too much for one person to carry, even a teacher.
Teacher
Again, thank you. You really are so kind. I sort of don't know what else to say.
Mafuyu
Hehe. I'm sure anyone else would do the same.
Class 2-B Mafuyu
(That took longer than I was hoping...)
Mafuyu
(I don't have time to study this morning, so that'll have to wait until the latter part of lunch. Maybe during the break too...)
Mafuyu's classmate
Mafuyu, this first-year girl who says she's in the archery club is here to see you.
Mafuyu
Oh, okay. I'll be right there. Is something the matter...?
Junior Club Member
A-Asahina!
Junior Club Member
I was taking inventory of all our equipment just now and discovered that we're missing a bow...!
Mafuyu
One's missing? That can't be right. Did you make sure to check elsewhere...?
Junior Club Member
I did! I even counted several times just to make sure, but I kept falling short by one...
Mafuyu
I see...
Mafuyu
Someone may have taken it home to practice with and simply forgot to bring it back.
Mafuyu
I'll check the gym later to see if it's lost in storage somewhere. Would you mind telling the teachers in the meantime?
Junior Club Member
Yes, of course! Thank you so much!
*Door Closing*
Mafuyu

Mafuyu
There goes my lunch break...
After school Shibuya Park Mafuyu
Finally, club activities are done...
Mafuyu

Mafuyu
*Sigh*
Mafuyu
(And I think my headache is starting to get worse...)
Mafuyu
(I'm running late for cram school... But this bench... I could rest here for a...)
Mafuyu
Huh...?
Mafuyu
Everything's going blurry...
Mafuyu

*Thump*
Kanade
(Dad seemed like he was doing pretty well today.)
Kanade
(Maybe I'll bring some of his favorite snacks and have them with him next time since the doctor said that we could.)
Kanade
Hm...?
Kanade
That person lying down on that bench...
Kanade
Oh no...! M-Mafuyu!
*Footsteps*
Kanade
Mafuyu, what happened?! Are you okay...?!
Mafuyu

Kanade
Wait, that's right. You caught a cold and...!
Kanade
Mafuyu, can you hear me?
Mafuyu
Ka... Nade...?
Kanade
Your forehead's on fire...
Kanade
Mafuyu, can you tell me where you live? We need to let your parents know so that they can come and pick you up.
Mafuyu
My mom... She isn't... Home...
Kanade
I see...
Kanade
(What do I do...?)
Kanade
(There's no way she can give me directions in her current state... And I can't just leave her here...)
Mafuyu

Kanade
(Wait, my house is much closer...!)
Kanade
Mafuyu, can you stand?
Kanade
Here, sling your arm over my shoulder and try to hang on.

Hopefully, this will do for now. Just place it over her forehead and...

Apples. I should check the supermarket down the street...

Kanade
Okay, I managed to get some...
Kanade
But Mafuyu won't be able to eat these as is in her current state. How do I make it easier for her?

Oh, Mafuyu, you're awake?
Mafuyu
Kanade...?

You need to rest. Your fever hasn't broken yet.
Kanade
Also, I tried making some apple sauce for you. Would you like to try some...?
Mafuyu

Kanade
Good, looks like you can keep it down...
Kanade
But you're still sweating quite a bit. Your towel even feels warm now...

Hehe. Oh, honey. You being sick takes priority over all of that.
Mafuyu's Mother
Your job is to get as much rest as you can today, so that once you're all better, you'll be able to show us all that beautiful smile of yours.
Little Mafuyu
Okay...
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, that reminds me. Our neighbors gave us some apples. You may be sick, but I'm sure they'll still taste just as good.
Mafuyu's Mother
Would you like me to make some apple sauce for you, dear? Or just cut them into slices?
Little Mafuyu
Bunnies...
Mafuyu's Mother
Huh?
Little Mafuyu
Bunnies... Make them look like bunnies.
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. You really do love bunnies, don't you, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu's Mother
Just one moment, dear. There we are...
Little Mafuyu
Thank you...
Mafuyu's Mother
Can you sit up? You don't have to if you don't think you can.
Little Mafuyu
Maybe... I don't know...

Then why don't we do this...? Open up for the airplane...
Little Mafuyu
Ahh...

Mmm... They're yummy... Thank you, mommy.
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. You're very welcome.
Mafuyu's Mother
Now, mommy needs to go hoist the laundry on the patio, so try to get some sleep, okay, honey?
Little Mafuyu
Um... Mommy...?

Yes, dear?
Little Mafuyu

Of course, dear. Now, lie down for me, and take my hand...

No, I should be the one apologizing for bringing you here without asking. I wasn't sure what else to do...
Kanade
Oh, there are still some apples left. Would you like some...?
Mafuyu
Apples...?
Kanade
Huh? Y-Yes... I heard that it's good to eat apples when you catch a cold, so I made some apple sauce for you.
Kanade
I'm not sure if you remember, but you had some earlier. If you think your appetite's back, I can make some more.
Mafuyu
I see... Thank you, but I'm okay for now.
Kanade
Okay...
Mafuyu
(Kanade made apple sauce for me...? Is that why I saw that dream...?)
Mafuyu
(And...)
Kanade
Oh, Mafuyu, did you happen to bring any medicine with you? I can get you some water if you need to take it.
Mafuyu
Thank you... They should be in my bag, but they're the type that don't require any water.
Kanade
Okay, got it. If you need anything else, please feel free to ask.
Mafuyu
Anything else...?
Mafuyu
I'm not sure if it's something I need, but I would like to ask you something, Kanade.
Kanade
Hm? Yes?
Mafuyu
About that song you composed the other day...
Mafuyu
What did you feel as you wrote it?
Kanade
That song...?
Kanade
I thought about something that happened a long time ago... When I was with my mom and dad...
Mafuyu
Your mom and dad?
Kanade
Yes.
Kanade
I remembered how my dad said that he wanted to make me and my mom smile by playing this song he wrote for us.
Kanade
When we heard it... We couldn't help but smile and laugh.
Mafuyu
Smile and laugh...
Kanade
Yes, so...
Kanade
I want you to feel what I did. I want you to smile the way I did back then.
Mafuyu
...
Kanade
Mafuyu? Is something wrong?
Mafuyu
No, it's nothing... It's just...
Mafuyu
My chest... It feels warm again...
Kanade
I see...
Miyamasuzaka Mafuyu
Here should be fine. My house is just right there.
Kanade
Are you sure?
Mafuyu
Yes. I think I can at least make it that far now.
Kanade
Okay, that's good to hear... Please, get home safe.
Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
Bye, Kanade... See you on Nightcord.
*Footsteps*
Kanade
Okay. See you on Nightcord...

Mafuyu
(My fever's almost gone. And my headache.)
Mafuyu
(I should be all better by tomorrow.)
Mafuyu
(Thank you, Kanade...)
Kanade
I remembered how my dad said that he wanted to make me and my mom smile by playing this song he wrote for us.
Kanade
When we heard it... We couldn't help but smile and laugh.
Kanade
So...
Kanade
I want you to feel what I did. I want you to smile the way I did back then.
Mafuyu
(I felt that same warmth again...)
Mafuyu
(But I still don't know what it is or what it means...)
Mafuyu
(I should write this down. I don't want to forget this sensation.)
Mafuyu
(I feel like I need to. For my own sake...)
*Computer Starting*
Mafuyu
I'll play that song too...
Speaker
♪———...
Mafuyu
(It really is warm...)
Mafuyu
(But I can't find the right words to describe it. Why...?)
???
Such a good girl...
Mafuyu
Huh...?
Mafuyu
What was that...? Why did I just think that...?
Midnight 4:00 Mafuyu
...
Mafuyu
It's already 4:00...? Where did all that time go...?
Mafuyu
So many Nightcord notifications...
Kanade
<Yuki, did you manage to get home?>
Mizuki
<Hey, how you doing? Enanan won't shut up, so please try to send a reply if you see this! Oh, but you can ignore this if you're still asleep...>
Ena
<Yuki! K's worried sick about you! Say something, will you?!>
Mafuyu
She was worried about me...?
???
<Mafuyu...>
Mafuyu
Hm...? That voice...
*Hologram Appearing*
Mafuyu
Rin. What are you doing on my computer...?
Rin
<Everyone's waiting for you in SEKAI, but don't really know what to do with themselves right now...>
Rin
<I was getting a little sick of it, so I came here. They'll probably feel better once they know that you're okay.>
Mafuyu
Were you worried about me too, Rin...?
Rin
<What? No, like I said, I was just sick of seeing the others not knowing what to do...>
Rin
<Honestly, Miku should be one doing this. Not me.>
Rin
<But she kept saying that we should just let you rest and not disturb you if you happened to be in the middle of writing lyrics...>
Mafuyu
I see...
Rin
<But I'm guessing you're fine now...>
Mafuyu
Huh?
Rin
<It's written all over your face. I'll go tell the others.>
Mafuyu
My face...?
Mafuyu
(Oh, right... Kanade wanted me to smile.)
