Kanata Ep. 38: Harder than It Seems
Kanata is concerned after hearing from a girl who's having trouble with insomnia. She wants to help, but can she?
Player
Kanata, did you talk to the girl with insomnia?
Kanata
Yeah, I did.
Player
So when are you going to go let her lay her head on your lap? Maybe I could come with you too?
Kanata
Well…
Kanata
It turns out she lives pretty far away.
Player
How far away?
Kanata
Like, across the sea far away…
Player
Ah, I see. It's not like you can just get up and go there.
Kanata
So I recommended some soothing music and scented oils to her to help for now. I'll look further into the subject while she tries those out and then get back to her.
Kanata
Which means I'll be taking a break from club activities for today and heading to the library.

Player
Kanata, over here!
Kanata
Hiya.
Ayumu
You're researching insomnia, right?
Kanata
That's right. I suppose the president told you?
Kasumi
Just now. It's hard to believe someone could have that kind of problem after seeing your sleepytime live stream…
Ayumu
Have you found a way to fix it?
Kanata
Hmmm…
Kanata
I checked out a bunch of books from the library and tried reading about insomnia, but the more I read, the more I come to think that there's nothing that I can do to help…
Kanata
They have specialist clinics for dealing with insomnia. That's how hard it is to fix.
Player
I see…
Kanata
It may be beyond me to help this girl who reached out…
Kasumi
B-But, I had some suuuper restful sleep after watching your sleepytime stream!
Ayumu
Me too! Listening to your story just put me at ease and off to sleep.
Player
You should listen to them. It was the same story for me. Hearing your voice had me suddenly drifting off. It was like I never had any trouble sleeping.

| Player So don't say there's nothing you can do to help. Kanata Oh… Thank you, all of you. My motivation's coming back. |
| Option 2: “There are things you can do that others can't.” |
| Player I know there are things you can do that others can't. Kanata Maybe you're right… Then I'll just have to do my best. |
Kanata
That's it. I'm going to help her get over this insomnia by doing what only I can do!
Player
That's the spirit!
