By now, Alex is well in his eighties. He has grown old. He walks with the support of a cane but regardless, he was always happy and still looked 20 years younger. His hair turned a slight hue of gray and slight wrinkles covered his body. Miku and the rest knew one day he would die. They were willing to accept this and never forget the man who changed them in many ways.
Soon enough, Alex felt that his last day was coming. He planned the perfect end.
In the morning of his final day, Miku would escort him around the city. Many buildings were removed and replaced with smaller ones or new parks. He enjoyed seeing Miku with her fans. They laughed and smiled through the whole day. When the sun was setting, Kaito prepared a big meal with every familiar face. It was a family feast.
"Kaito. I never got tired of your food. You really do make me smile." Alex said with a light chuckle. Kaito smiled too.
"Well I am going to miss you Alex. Well all of us." Kaito sat down.
"If it wasn't for you, I would be hiding in fear of heartbreak a bit longer. And never knew about how Meiko felt about me." Meiko bumped Kaito as if he did not do that part. But she continued the list.
"If it wasn't for you, I would still be afraid to face my fans and never sing again."
Neru, for the first time, put her cell phone away as tears built in her eyes.
"If it wasn't for you, I would still be afraid of humans like you."
Haku nodded with a smile.
"If it wasn't for you, I would still hide my feelings about Neru. And I would of lost the chance."
Rin and Len both said.
"If it wasn't for you, we would of lost each other for good!"
Teto had a mouth full of food but managed to say.
"It was because of you that I was able to be a vocaloid!"
Luka shook her head to Teto.
"Alex. It was you that made my life change. If I met just anyone, I would have been rude all the time. Plus, I got to meet my little Toeto." She patted Toeto's head.
Miku then turned Alex to look at her beside her.
"And if it wasn't you who opened my box, I would probably be even more depressed and unable to sing. You made me who I am and never will I forget you. Thank you for everything you have done for us, Alex." The family all thanked Alex at the same time, the meal nearly ending. Alex was taken by the impact he made, no matter how big. He slowly stood up with his cane.
"I am glad I am leaving with much work done. But there is one last thing that I want that will make my final moments the best In my life. Miku, come to my room..."
Miku knew it was time. She agreed to follow him to his room. He sat in the computer chair he used for years, easing himself in.
"Alex? What is it that I can do?" she held his left hand, her ring and his meeting each other.
Alex looked up slowly.
"I want you to play the first song I heard from you. Please play Sound one last time. And I wish to sing with you." Miku was touched. She already started to produce tears of joy, picking up her guitar again. She started to play the first part, the melody still strong and words ever so clear. It was as if you can see the very music notes in the air. A final song that both would sing.
'This seasons passes by, with the unrelenting noise of the crowd around me
Although it just goes on like this, everyday was becoming a little uneasy
I suddenly looked up at the sky, even which seems I'm going to lose sight of
If anyone could just hear, the melody that is only within myself
I close my eyes, amidst the pain of loneliness
Only the time passes, I run across the world
I remembered the time my speakers got tampered
It made the echo thick, and the melody strong
The wish that was always been here with me
will reach afar, until it finally reaches you
Being tormented by this uneasiness, even which I wanted to run away from
I just can't escape from it, and the time just passes by
I reject the strangers around me while pretending,
this is and unfamiliar place with a broken clock
The real sound that my aching heart has
are the childhood memories that I stumble upon
The speakers that were inside my heart
are clamoring, the voice from a long time ago
I remembered the time my speakers got tampered
It made the echo thick, and the melody strong
The wish that was always been here with me
will reach afar, until it finally reaches you'
Miku played the last notes with all her might! She wanted Alex to feel the joy she was left with. The song was slowly ending, Alex smiled with tears rolling down his cheeks and unable to stop.
"Miku. Thank you again for everything. I will never forget you and the others." His last words as he slowly closed his eyes. A small melody of sound escaped his lips before he was completely stiff. Miku checked his pulse. She kept the tears inside, for they were not needed. She threw her arms around Alex and kissed his forehead.
"Rest well dear. You deserve to be remembered... as my one and only conductor."
"Miku, this is the new director." David introduced a new, young maker. Miku shook his hand with much pride.
"Miku Miku! Nice to meet you!" she smiled. The new guy rubbed the back of his neck.
"Nice to meet you too. And you are more beautiful than on the internet!" he commented with a blush.
"Sorry. I am already taken." She showed the ring she never removed.
"Oh? By who?" he asked with curiosity.
Miku smiled with a warm glow. She placed her hands over her heart.
"I am taken by the man who changed many of our lives for the better. He loved me for who I was. He could of had any person, but he chose me over them. Alex Junio Hatsune."
