Chapter 7: The Past Never Changes
変わらない過去こそが (Kawaranai kako koso ga)
変わらない過去こそが (Kawaranai kako koso ga)
Character appearances:
Toya
Why...
Toya's Father
Close your door properly. Your voice was leaking through.
Toya
...I'm sorry.
Toya's Father
...It's fine.
Toya's Father
...Your room's a mess, too. You should clean it up a bit.
Toya
...Yes...
Toya
(...Why is Dad in my room...?)
Toya
(Ever since I quit classical, Dad has hardly come in here.)
Toya
(So then, why now...?)
Toya
(...No.)
Toya
(This——might be my chance.)
Toya
...Dad.
Toya's Father
What is it?
Toya
I'd like to ask you once more.
Toya
Dad, please give me your opinion on my music.
Toya's Father
Has it improved at all since then?
Toya
...No. I've been through a lot of trial and error, but...
Toya's Father
Which means you've wasted all that time.
Toya
...Kh.
Toya
It wasn't wasted.
Toya
I thought through all sorts of possibilities, so I could do something about it. And just now...I figured out the reason it isn't going well.
Toya's Father
In that case, just think on that reason.
Toya's Father
...I have thought about it. But...I keep getting stuck...
Toya
That's why I want you to listen to it, Dad.
Toya
I can't think of any other way around it...
Toya's Father
How disappointing.
Toya's Father
You've just abandoned thinking for yourself.
Toya
...I haven't abandoned anything.
Toya
I——no matter what I have to do, I want to live up to my teammates' expectations...!
Toya
I'm sick of it... Of running away like I did back then...!
Toya
But even though I feel that way...there's this guilt that haunts me, blocking my path.
Toya
I keep thinking, "As someone who already ran from music once, I'm not worthy of carrying my teammates' determination"...!!
Toya's Father
...Toya...
Toya
Those feelings...that guilt, follows me everywhere.
Toya
No matter how many times I rewrite this song, I can't reach Ken-san and the others' music...!
Toya's Father
...Ken-san and the others?
Toya
...The people who created the event we intend to surpass.
Toya
Ken-san and the others learned that an important teammate of theirs was ill, and would soon pass away...so they gathered a team, wrote music, and held an event to honor her final wishes.
Toya
That music——those songs...were so unbelievably passionate that they pierced through our hearts.
Toya
...I have to create a song that can surpass that.
Toya
If I can't do that, our dream might just end here...!
Toya
That's why I'll take anything! Please give me your opinion! I need it, Dad——!
Toya's Father
...So that guilt haunts you, hm.
Toya's Father
Then it's no wonder I felt there was a lack of pride in your song.
Toya
...
Toya's Father
...Perhaps it's your perception that's the problem.
Toya
...Eh?
Toya's Father
You did run.
Toya's Father
That is the truth. And, you cannot change your past.
Toya's Father
But——
Toya's Father
It's not as if you don't have it.
Toya
...Have it...?
Toya's Father
That's correct.
Toya's Father
It's not as if you don't have a weapon that can compare to whoever Ken-san and the others are.
Toya
That's...you're overestimating me. Dad, you don't know Ken-san and the others——
Toya's Father
Even still, I don't think you'll be defeated by them.
Toya
...That's...what do you mean...?
Toya's Father
You dedicated yourself to it.
Toya's Father
The most precious time of your life, you dedicated to classical.
Toya's Father
——Twelve years.
Toya's Father
For twelve years, you lived alongside it.
Toya's Father
From morning to night, without any time to mess around or sleep.
Toya
Ah...
Flashback
End flashback
Toya
But, that was...
Toya's Father
I know. It may not have been the life you wished for.
Toya's Father
Because it wasn't an "ordinary" life, as you so scathingly informed me.
Toya's Father
But even so, in the past, you did dedicate your life to classical music.
Toya's Father
In earnest.
Toya
(My life...)
Toya
(That's right...it's true, I...)
Flashback

Toya's Father
Wrong. Once more.
Young Toya
I'm sorry...
Toya's Father
Again.
Young Toya
But, my fingers...
Toya's Father
That's no excuse. Once more. Until you can do it.
Young Toya
...Yes.
— Some time later —
Piano playing
Young Toya
...*sigh*...
Toya's Father
...You finally managed to do it.
Toya's Father
That concludes today's lesson. Let's go eat dinner.
Young Toya
Ah...but...
Toya's Father
What is it?
Young Toya
...I was able to play it to the end just now.
Young Toya
But, it wasn't the beautiful sound I was thinking of...so, um...
Young Toya
——Would you please let me play it one more time?
Toya's Father
...Go ahead.
End flashback
Toya
(In the midst of that life, I truly was——)
Toya
(I was facing my music head-on.)
Toya's Father
Despite that, why?
Toya's Father
Why is it that all you can do is focus on the fact that you ran, and disparage yourself so endlessly?
Toya
That's...
Flashback
Toya's Father
——So that's all you're capable of?
End flashback
Toya
...Because, I...
Toya
Because I betrayed...your expectations...
Toya's Father
...It's true that I expected much of you.
Toya's Father
And I thought, once, after hearing your performance, that you might someday be able to reach the essence of music.
Toya's Father
And when you chose to go down a different path...I certainly felt something akin to disappointment.
Toya
...
Toya's Father
But, was that truly all it was for you?
Toya's Father
The days you walked alongside classical, were they only comprised of suffering and betrayal?
Toya
That's...
Flashback

Piano note
Young Toya
Wah...!
End flashback
Toya
That's...
Toya's Father
To me——
Toya's Father
The days you dedicated to classical were beautiful, and something to be proud of.
Toya
...Eh...
Toya's Father
Those days, no matter how they may have ended, aren't something to look back on with despair.
Toya's Father
No, it's quite the opposite. Those days were——
Toya's Father
Something that only you can be proud of, that you'll never lose.
Toya
...!
Toya's Father
No matter what kind of lives they've led, no matter how much of their lives they've dedicated to music——you can stand up to them.
Toya's Father
That's the kind of past you have.
Toya's Father
...That's what I think.
Toya's Father
...I believe I've overstayed my welcome.
Toya's Father
——I'll be going now. Be sure to clean your room.
Toya
...
Toya
...Stand up to them...
Toya
I...
Toya
I can really...
Toya
(...All this time, I've thought.)
Toya
(My past——it was one I couldn't erase, because I betrayed their expectations and ran away.)
Toya
(But...)
Toya
(My past might be something I shouldn't be ashamed of.)
Toya
(——Regardless of whether it was morning or night, I was earnestly facing music head-on.)
Toya
(Even when I broke into high fevers or developed tendonitis, I played it over and over in my head.)
Toya
(There wasn't a day I didn't think of music. I can say that without hesitation; that's how much I thought about it.)
Toya
(I...ever since I was young, I've spent my life seriously facing music head-on.)
Toya
(...My past is something that will never change.)
Toya
(And if that past exists...I can stand up to them.)
Toya
Even against Ken-san and the others' determination——I can hold my own.
