AveMujica #Mujica Comeback Mutsumi Wakaba Mutsumi-chan #Mortis

Nyamu

Huh? Muuko?

Mortis

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

Mutsumi

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

Mortis

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

Mutsumi

But Saki... only has Mujica left...!

Nyamu

This is...

Sakiko

...

Togawa-san, good morning. Hey, have you seen this?

Mortis

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

Mutsumi

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

Sakiko

!

This is Mutsumi-chan... right?

And Saki refers to Togawa-san? Is that a solo performance of Ave Mujica's show?

Could Mujica be making a comeback? Was the disbandment part of the act? Amazing!

Sakiko

...

Ah, Togawa-san...!

Sakiko

Mutsumi...

Sakiko

Why...? Why aren't you on my side!?

Sakiko

Mujica is... This world is all I have left!

Mutsumi

...

Mortis

Every awakening brings rebirth. Only eternal death will bring no awakening.

Mortis

Let me weave a cradle for you. A lullaby wrapped in velvety darkness, like a coffin. Gently enclosing you—

Mortis

Guiding you into dreams unaware.

Sakiko

Mutsumi...?

Mortis

Goodnight. Sweet dreams.

Mortis

If Sakiko-chan keeps being like this, Mutsumi-chan might never be back.

Sakiko

It was me... I destroyed Mutsumi. If I wasn't here... Mutsumi could...

Sakiko

Mutsumi...

Tomori

Saki-chan...!

Anon

Are you okay? You look pale.

Sakiko

I'm fine...

Tomori

Ah, Mutsumi-chan...! Mutsumi-chan said... she wants to see you.

Sakiko

...

Sakiko

(Mutsumi wants... to see me...?)

Sakiko

(I have no such right. After all, I am the one who destroyed her.)

Anon

Is Mutsumi-chan really okay? Everyone's saying Mujica will come back—this could be bad.

Tomori

Mutsumi-chan said it was because CRYCHIC fell apart, so this time, she wants to do her best.

Tomori

She also said... Saki-chan, you only have Mujica left.

Sakiko

(Mutsumi had always been thinking of me... but...)

Sakiko

(There's nothing I can do now. I destroyed both Ave Mujica and CRYCHIC.)

Sakiko

I don't understand what you're talking about.

Tomori

...!

Anon

Eh?

Sakiko

CRYCHIC... Ave Mujica... I don't know anything like that.

Tomori

But Mutsumi-chan...

Sakiko

I also... don't know Mutsumi.

Sakiko

(No matter how much I struggle or resist, it turns into tragedy. I am exhausted.)

Sakiko

(I can't think of anything. I don't know anything. I just want to forget everything...)

Tomori

Ah...

Anon

...

Soyo

How's Mutsumi-chan?

Mortis

I threw a lot of bad things at her, then locked her away. All she keeps saying is that she wants to see Sakiko-chan.

Mortis

Even though Sakiko-chan will definitely hurt Mutsumi-chan again.

Soyo

...

Soyo

You know where Saki-chan lives, don't you?

Mortis

Eh...?

Soyo

I'll go and talk to Saki-chan. After hearing all this from Mortis-chan, I can't just stay silent anymore.

Mortis

...

Mutsumi

Why... Why did you tell her?

Mortis

No! You can't just come out like that!

Mutsumi

Stop Soyo. Don't let her go to Saki's house.

Mortis

Didn't I tell you that you're only allowed out while playing the guitar!? Leave the rest to me!

Mutsumi

I'm begging you...!

Mortis

SHUT UP!!

Mortis

Haa... Haa...! Why... am I even doing this...

Soyo

(Eh... Saki-chan's home...)

Soyo

(Here...?)

Soyo

(But the nameplate says Togawa... Is it true?)

Soyo

(Anyway, I've come this far...)

Sakiko...? You're back...?

Soyo

!?

Sakiko...?

Soyo

Haa... Haa...

Soyo

(Saki-chan... living in a place like that...!)

Soyo

(I guess something happened at her home... If I search it, I might find out...)

Soyo

Huh... 16.8 billion in debt? This is...!

Soyo

Saki-chan...

Taki

This stray cat...! Late again...

Soyo

Hey, can we talk before practice? It's about Saki-chan.

Soyo

Look at this.

Anon

16.8 billion? 16.8 billion!?

Taki

Stop repeating it. The Togawa Group—is that Sakiko's family?

Soyo

Look at the date.

Taki

Isn't that the day of CRYCHIC's live performance?

Tomori

...!

Soyo

She left the band because she probably had her own reasons.

Taki

No way.

Anon

So that's how it was, huh?

Taki

What do you mean by "that"?

Anon

I talked to Sakiko-chan... She said she doesn't know about CRYCHIC or Ave Mujica.

Soyo

What?

Anon

And about Mutsumi-chan... She also said she doesn't know Mutsumi.

Anon

But I can understand. The feeling of wanting to erase everything. Sakiko-chan must feel the same—

Soyo

Did Saki-chan really say that?

Anon

Eh?

Soyo

That she doesn't know CRYCHIC, Ave Mujica, or Mutsumi-chan?

Anon

Eh... Yeah... Yes.

Soyo

...!
