    Summary

    It had only been a few days, but she could still remember her parents vividly trying so hard to appeal to her. Her mother…she tried to suppress her emotions to make her child so happy. Was Mafuyu so pitiful that mother put more distress on herself to make Mafuyu happy?

    ----

    OR: After the events of 'And so, the clock hands started ticking,' Mafuyu finds herself in Kanade's home once again, overwhelmed with the aftershocks of her relapse of the 'good girl' facade.

    Summary

    As Mafuyu mends her relationship with her mother and builds a life beyond Nightcord, Kanade is left in the silent, stagnant wake of her own perceived obsolescence.

    Consumed by a guilt that twists her altruism into something monstrously selfish, she confronts the hollow core of her identity: without someone to save, who is she?

    In a moment of profound despair, she seeks the ultimate silence, suicide.

    But instead of an end, she awakens in an endless white void, face-to-face with a patient, faceless entity.

    Death itself.

    And Death gives a verdict: her journey is not yet over.

    (kanade character study; kanade and death chitchat, and both go through kanade's memories together)
    (ch7 is the canonical ending and ch8 is the alternative ending, also contains art!)

    Summary

    Don’t fall asleep.

    That’s all Kanade can think right now. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep.

    Unfortunately for Kanade’s brain (or maybe it’s fortunately?), that’s all her body seems to want to do. She hasn’t felt this comfortable in years.

    Summary

    The sea is restless. Not violent, but waiting. As if something is about to emerge from the depths.

    After her mother's death and her father's collapse, Kanade learned to exist in the spaces between. Between hospital visits, between compositions, between the slow hours of 3 AM and the gray light of dawn. She told herself she was healing. She told herself she had found purpose in saving Mafuyu, family in the empty SEKAI, and gentleness in the way she now visits her mother's grave without pain twisting her face.

    She was lying.

    Tonight, she stops doing so.


    a psychological character study of kanade, depicting kanade's slow descent to disappearing

    A PREQUEL TO of notes and noise.
