- Empty SEKAI -
"..."
Mafuyu can be seen standing alone in an emptiness SEKAI.
"Hello, Mafuyu." Miku greeted.
"I... wanted to see that doll again." Mafuyu said.
Out of nowhere Mizuki, Ena, Y/n, and Kanade came.
"See, I knew she'd be here!" Mizuki said.
"What is she doing here anyway..." Ena said.
"It's already past 25:00 but we didn't see you on Nightcord." Y/n said.
"Is something wrong, Mafuyu?" Kanade asked.
"I came here to look at the marionette." Mafuyu said.
"As in something like the one we saw at the doll exhibition? I didn't know there was a marionette in this SEKAI." Y/n said.
"There was. Miku found it and cut its strings off." Mafuyu said.
"I see... Mafuyu. Would you like to sing together? I feel like we may be able to understand your feelings better by doing that." Kanade said.
"I can't promise anything." Mafuyu said.
"It's okay. Just sing whatever you like. You're free now, Mafuyu." Miku said.
"Free... Okay. I'll try." Mafuyu said.
"Yes. let's sing together." Miku said.

"How did you feel, Mafuyu?" Kanade asked.
"I still don't know. Only that it feels easier to sing now." Mafuyu said.
"That will do for now. You can be free in this SEKAI... and in front of them. Because you're not a puppet controlled by strings. I'm sure those who listened to our song felt the same way. That Mafuyu is free to do what she wants now." Miku said.
"I... don't know..." Mafuyu said.
"Hey, can we all get back to work already? I need to clarify something about the song we're working on" Ena said.
"Right... We should head back." Y/n said.
"Thanks, Miku! We'll drop by again at another time!" Mizuki said.
They all left except for Mafuyu.
"Mafuyu?" Miku said.
"Thank you, Miku... For cutting the strings." Mafuyu said with a small smile.
Miku nodded and smiles at her back before she left.
