Rooftop Harmony After Sunset

You

The wind keeps throwing off our timing. We've been at this for three hours.

Kanon

And Kanata's still not here. How are we supposed to practice the harmony without our alto?

Emma

Then let's try the bridge section again. Just the three of us.

Yohane

Actually, I might have found a shortcut to perfect this performance.

Yohane

(The forbidden track from the old school archives... they'll never know.)

You

Wait, is that the original score from the storage room? Those are off-limits!

Yohane

Listen to this melody. It's from the first school idol group that performed here... thirty years ago.

Kanon

(That song... the one that caused the school to ban idol activities for a decade.)

Emma

The wind! The sheets are flying everywhere!

You

(The final page... it's going over the edge!)

You

(The sheet... it's floating. The music... it's playing itself.)

Yohane

That's... that's impossible. The first idol group... they all graduated decades ago.

Emma

She's... she's looking at you, Yoshiko. Why is she reaching for you?

Yohane

(My grandmother... she looks exactly like the photos. But she died before I was born.)

Kanon

Yoshiko! Don't look at her eyes! The song—it's the same one that—

Yohane

(I understand now. The song isn't cursed... it's unfinished. She needs us to complete it.)

You

(The sheet... it's turning into light. Into music. Into her final message.)

Kanon

The song... it's not in the archives because it was never finished. They banned it because the original group disappeared before the performance.

Yohane

(Grandmother's voice... it's inside me now. The complete song. But at what cost?)
