...!

Like I thought, you're...Uni from the future?

Navi-chan...

A spacetime tremor?

So this is the effect of her using too much power!

No, you're too close to the player link unit!

No...! Both of you, get back!

Player-san... I'm sorry for getting you involved in all this.

This is the UHUNITHM of the future. A mere shadow of the rhythm game it once was.

This game is about to meet its end.

But before that, I must return Uni's body... I cannot let her future end in this place.

But there is no longer enough energy to send her back to UHUNITHM...

...?

You'll...generate a song with me?

But...I'm no longer the "Uni" you know. I've been remade, completely transformed into "Ixia."

I haven't changed? So you say...

Then, I'll show you everything that has happened so far.

A memory of UHUNITHM's prosperity, and what led to its demise—all of it.

This is one possible form that CHUNITHM could reach, too.

If you can accept such a future, one that you cannot bear to look at, one you want to avert your eyes from...

Show me that you can retrace it with your fingertips.

Can you still stand?

You are truly someone who hates to give up.

Analysis complete.

With UHUNITHM's remaining functionality, we should be able to send Uni back to your VERSE.

Well... How did it go?

The future is not always bright and beautiful. Rather, it may be cruel and senseless.

But you've faced it head-on and shown me your feelings toward this world.

I'm sure that someone like you can face what lies ahead...

Before long, UHUNITHM will cease functioning.

That communication unit seems to be at its limit, too...

I am reluctant to part with you, but this is goodbye...

What is this song...? It's not in any database.

This voice...Uni?

UHUNITHM's functionality is being restored?

That's right, Uni still believes in this world's future...

She won't let me give up yet, the stubborn girl.

Player-san, I'll try just a bit harder to believe in her—no, in my future.

Thank you.

Farewell, Player-san.

All riiight! That about wraps things up!

The rest is in your hands, Navi-chan!

...You know there's still 23% left to check?

Oh...no kidding. How about we save that for later...?

Well, as long as it's complete by the time this version of CHUNITHM finishes operating.

Oh yeah? Well we've got a ways to go, so it's fine! It wouldn't be good to hurry.

Yes, yes! Then let's take a break!

Oh, Player-san! Thanks for earlier!

...Hey, I heard from Navi-chan, about the future, and how there's gonna be a ton of struggles after I go back.

But, you know, I'm gonna try and believe in myself. 'Cause I was able to create that future for UHUNITHM, right? It's incredible! Don't I deserve some praise first?

Plus I'll get to meet you again in the future, right?

Ehehe, another thing to look forward to!

Hm? You're gonna be lonely when I'm gone? You will? Heheh, so it goes~

Okay, have this character data!

It matches CHUNITHM's format, so if you miss me that bad, go ahead and set it!

...This is the end, huh?

Hey, Player-san, keep on loving rhythm games. I'll keep on loving them too!

That's a promise until the next time we meet! Okay?
