- Mafuyu's Room -

[Mafuyu]: <Turn what I'm feeling now into song lyrics?>

[Kanade]: <Yes, can you try that? I think those lyrics will help meto get closer to you, like the time you were posting as OWN.>

[Mafuyu]: <No, I can't do it.>

[Kanade]: <Why not? When you were posting as OWN—>

[Mafuyu]: <That was because the messy lump inside my heart forced it's way out by itself. I can't turn these feelings into lyrics consciously.>

[Kanade]: <Yuki...>

(What can I do if even Yuki doesn't understand herself? But Miku said...) Kanade thought.

Flashback

"Maybe it's because the doll reminded of herself." Miku said.

Present

(Oh, I get it. If that marionette did remind Yuki if herself, like Miku said...) Kanade thought

[Kanade]: <What about marionette, then?>

[Mafuyu]: <What?>

[Kanade]: <That marionette you saw at the doll exhibit made you feel sick, remember?and then you had a dream about becoming one. Could it be because you saw yourself in that marionette?>

[Mafuyu]: <!!>

[Kanade]: <So, Yuki. Try to remember what you saw in that marionette, and then turn that into lyrics.>

[Mafuyu]: <I can't...>

[Kanade]: <Understand your feelings may be the key I need to write a song that will save you. So, please...>

[Mafuyu]: <.... I don't know how this will trun out, but... fine.>

[Kanade]: <Okay!>

Later

"That doll... It made me feel sick because..." Mafuyu said then she remembered.

Mafuyu gasped silently

Mafuyu gasped silently.

"I don't know. But why don't I know? Why did it make me feel that way? This is going to just end up like the last time. But maybe..." Mafuyu said.

"Miku." Mafuyu called Miku.

"Hello, Mafuyu." Miku greeted.

"Hello." Mafuyu greeted back.

"Kanade visited a short while ago, too." Miku said.

"Kanade did?" Mafuyu said.

"Yes. She wanted to understand your feelings." Miku said.

"My feelings... It's not like she can do anything even if she did. I don't need something unpleasant, painful, and utterly useless." Mafuyu said.
