As you all eventually step into the forest. But before you get very far, a flash of light flares and a memory plays for everyone, once more.

Mafuyu stands surrounded by the three friends, and a a fourth girl. They've clearly said something, and Mafuyu glares darkly-

"... You're all so selfish. Getting jealous, sympathizing with me, trying to save me when I didn't ask for help. Just stop. Haven't you done enough? I want to disappear. That is my only true feeling."

Kanade frowns, but tries again- "Even if that's true, I still want to save you."

Mafuyu is quiet, before suddenly the damn bursts and her voice breaks.

"I can't take this any more! I'm tired of believing there's still a chance I can find what I'm looking for. It would have been easier to believe I never could from the very beginning. So...that's why... I don't want to believe I can be saved anymore! I'm tired! I look and I look and I look and I look! But I just can't find it... Then when I look again, it's just not right and I get depressed... What am I even supposed to do?!"

"I'll keep composing. Even if this song isn't able to save you, I'll keep composing until I find the one that does. I'll keep composing...until you can find yourself."

... It fades.
