Chapter 6: My Answer Is...

I...

... I don't know...

Oh, and why's that?

I've tried thinking, but I really can't come up with an answer...

I don't know what Mafuyu and her mother are so afraid of...?

Hm...

I'm surprised. You really aren't reflecting on yourself at all, are you?

After all, you're the only one who can save her.

What...?

Kanade...

If, someday, you save Mafuyu just as you hope to...

And Mafuyu doesn't need you or your music anymore...what will you do?

... ...What...?

What... ...what do you mean...?

You still don't get it? Well--

That's enough!!

...I won't allow you to push her any further than this.

W-wait! Time out, time out!

Let's all just calm down, okay?

C'mon, you're even scaring Kanade...! Why don't we take a quick snack break and try to reset the mood, okay?

I don't want any.

C'mon! Don't be like that~!

Well, I'll have some if you're offering them.

Kanade...

...Oh, s-sorry... I was just kinda zoning out...

You don't have to overthink it, okay?

Let's just enjoy our snacks together~

...Okay.

I'll catch you later, then. I'm looking forward to your answer.

...Oh...

Luka, wait!

What are you trying to accomplish here?

All of these girls are doing their best to keep their footing!

I didn't mean anything by it.

It's just that...Kanade keeps refusing to reflect on her own actions.

Isn't it about time for her to realize? That she's dependent on Mafuyu, too.

...That's...

It's all right, I'm not going to do anything.

I'm just going to wait for her answer.

(I know there are times we need to intervene to push things forward...)

(But still... Now that it's come to this, I have to see it through to the end...)

(To wherever these girls arrive.)
