Oooh, how pretty…

It's like a giant carpet of autumn leaves. The way they reflect the sunset almost makes them look like they're on fire.

But there's a strange sense of melancholy too… There's something sad about how they look like they're about to burn away to nothing at any moment.

Ohh… That's what I've been missing. This is the autumn I've been searching for.

If I could just capture this brilliance in my sweets, I could definitely…

Kanata…

Kanata!

Kanata, wake up!

*Yawn* Where am I?

So you did fall asleep again. We've been trying to call you this whole time!

Oh, Eli. I'm sorry, I didn't even realize I was snoozing.

Eli! Did you find her?

Yeah! She's over here!

Good morning, Nico…

Morning was hours ago! Sheesh, I can't believe you napped in a place like this. You're hopeless!

Sorry for making you worry.

Where are the others?

Over there, waiting for you to come back. C'mon, let's go.

Okay.

[Fade in/out.]

I hope Kanata's all right.

Those three have been gone a while.

Look, they're back!

Sorry for the holdup!

Kanata, you're so late!

My bad. It took me a while to find what I was searching for.

But I actually found it! I found the autumn I wanted!

Really?

Yup! Now I just have to put it into my sweets. I'm so psyched to start working on it, I can hardly wait!

Hee hee. You're all fired up now, Kanata.

Well, we'd better get ready to start hiking back down.

You're right. The sun goes down early in the fall.
