Wakaba's Home - Mutsumi's Room

MortisHey, look. I just wanted to protect Mutsumi-chan.

SoyoI need to go to school.

MortisNo! I don't want you to go! Please, wake Mutsumi-chan up! I only have Soyo-chan to rely on!

SoyoLet me make it clear, I wasn't that close to Mutsumi-chan.

MortisThat's not true at all. I know everything. Because I've seen it all.

SoyoEh?

MortisSoyo-chan really loved CRYCHIC, didn't you? Mutsumi-chan felt the same.

Soyo...

MortisSakiko-chan was so mean! Mutsumi-chan didn't want to ruin the band, but Sakiko-chan always ends up destroying it.

SoyoSaki-chan did?

MortisShe only cares about herself and always ruins the mood. Even Mutsumi-chan couldn't handle her anymore, so I stepped in instead.

MortisThen she insisted I play guitar. She said it doesn't count as a band if I don't.

MortisThat's why I want to wake Mutsumi-chan up to have her play the guitar. Then the band will go back to normal, right?

Soyo...

Mortis...

MortisThe phone...

SoyoEh?

MortisI need to call!

MortisHello? Is this the doctor? Hello? Can you hear me?

Soyo(This can't go on. But what should I do...?)

AnonSoyorin, are you okay? Can you come tomorrow?

Anon

Soyo...

MortisHello? Can you hear me? Is this the doctor? Hello? Hello?

SoyoYes, how can I help you?

MortisOh, is this the doctor? Um... I actually want to take away Mutsumi-chan's band and guitar.

MortisBecause she looks like she's in pain. But if I do that, Mutsumi-chan will be sad.

SoyoThen, how about playing guitar together with everyone?

SoyoI think experiencing new things would be good for Mutsumi-chan.

SoyoMeeting others, listening to performances... I'll go with you too, okay?

Mortis...

AnonIt's been three days. She hasn't even looked at her messages. It's worrying. This is definitely one of those times. Soyorin is depressed all by herself again.

Tomori...

Taki*Sigh*... She always sinks so deep when she's down.

AnonTrue~ In that case, we'll have to go to her place. Or to catch her at the school—

RānaShe's here.

AnonHuh?

AnonSoyorin!

TomoriMutsumi-chan...?

Mortis...

AnonWhy, why? Why are you with Mutsumi-chan? Amazing—so cute! Nice to meet you!

Mortis...

TakiMutsumi...?

RānaShe's sleeping.

Mortis!

RānaThere are two people.

SoyoCan you see them, Rāna-chan?

RānaThere are two people.

MortisCan you see Mutsumi-chan?

RānaI gotta go. Bye-bye.

MortisHuh? Wait!

TakiMutsumi, wait.

AnonShe's gone... Wait, what do you mean she's sleeping?

SoyoShe said her name is Mortis-chan.

AnonEh? Mortis... Wait, what's going on?

SoyoMutsumi-chan is currently asleep inside her body.

TakiHuh? Explain from the beginning.

The Next Morning

Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy - Vending Machine

UmiriWhat's this about?

TakiDo you all know about that matter?

UmiriWhat matter?

TakiMutsumi. Of course... Is it true she has a split personality?

UmiriYeah... Of course, because she was the trigger for Ave Mujica's disbandment.

UmiriEveryone agreed that with Wakaba-san in that state, we couldn't stay in the band anymore.

UmiriBut I had a feeling it would fall apart sooner or later.

Taki...

UmiriWell, I see. It's been a month, and nothing has changed.

TakiWhat are you saying?

UmiriHuh?

TakiUmiri, were you really part of Mujica?

UmiriWhat do you mean?

TakiNothing. That's all.

Umiri...

UmiriWhat is she trying to say?

After School

RiNG Cafeteria

Rāna*Munch*...

MortisHehe... Is the matcha parfait delicious?

TakiShe made friends with that stray cat.

SoyoEven though I stayed with her for three days and nights...

AnonWhat should we do? We can't just leave her alone.

Tomori...

TakiIt seems like the Mujica members gave up on her.

AnonWhat's going on!? Who told you that?

TakiThat person.

AnonHuh? Timoris?

RānaPlaying guitar.

MortisWow... it's tattered.

Rāna—♪

MortisWow...!

MutsumiSinging.

RānaHm.

Mortis...! Mutsumi-chan?

Everyone?

MortisMutsumi-chan woke up!

MortisMutsumi-chan! That's great! I thought you were really dead.

Mutsumi...

MortisMutsumi-chan?

Mutsumi!

MortisMutsumi-chan, you have been sleeping all this time. Even after consulting with the doctor, you wouldn't wake up. It's been so tough for me.

MutsumiAh...

MortisBut now, Mutsumi-chan, you can just play the guitar, the band will be back to normal, right?

MutsumiHuh? What happened?

MutsumiUntil now, what—

MortisMutsumi-chan is already dead. Ah, I got it wrong. It's more like she's asleep, as if dead.

MortisThat's why I hate Sakiko-chan.

SakikoI want Mutsumi back...

MutsumiSaki...

MortisIt's okay. I'll protect you from any harm. So Mutsumi-chan can just focus on playing the guitar.

MutsumiWhy would you say that?

MortisEh?

MutsumiYou said to leave everything to you. That's too much.

MutsumiSaki... where's Saki?

Mortis...!

MutsumiMortis? Let me see Saki.

MortisNo!

Everyone!?

MortisMutsumi-chan, you don't understand anything!

TakiWhat's going on?

AnonShe's gone. She just mentioned Mutsumi-chan...

SoyoWait, Mortis-chan.

MutsumiPlease, let me see Saki. I want to talk to Saki.

MortisI said no, didn't I!? Saki this, Saki that, I hate Mutsumi-chan—

MortisLike this! Don't you remember how deeply Sakiko-chan hurt you!?

MutsumiIt's not like that.

MortisShe pushed you to the point of breaking when you were fragile!

MutsumiI didn't want to see Saki with that face...

MortisThat's why I'm going to take your place—

SoyoMutsumi...!

MutsumiWhy did you destroy it...

MortisEven if you want to see her, Sakiko-chan doesn't feel the same way!

MutsumiBecause CRYCHIC fell apart, so this time, I want to do my best.

Passerby AEh, is that Mutsumi-chan from Ave Mujica over there?

Passerby BIt's true! Is it some kind of filming? Where's the camera?

MortisBut she hasn't come to see you even once!

MutsumiBut Saki... only has Mujica left.

MortisShe hasn't reflected on anything, and she hasn't changed! If you go to see her, you'll just get hurt again!

MortisPlease, just listen to me!

MutsumiI want to... see Saki.

Passerby CHey, let's take a picture too!

Passerby DThis performance is amazing~!

Tomori...

Soyo!

SoyoNo photos, please! No photos, please!

Mutsumi...

SoyoIt's okay... It's okay!
