<K, I tweaked that thing from earlier.

What do you think of this version?>

<This is much better...

Let's go with it.>

<Yay! I'm glad I asked you for feedback.>

<Then why don't we call it a night?

We've been working for so long...>

<Okay. I'm going to log off.>

<Alright. I'm staying up a bit longer to work, so you can ping me if you need anything.>

<Oh! Guys, before you go...>

<What is it?>

<Are you all busy tomorrow? Because if not, I thought we could meet up and...>

<No thanks.>

<Whaaat? Why, Ena?!>

<Because it's cold. I don't want to leave my cozy house.>

<Same here...

My body just stops moving when it's cold.>

<Aww, seriously...?!

What about you, Yuki?>

<Cram school for the holidays.

I may even be late logging in here.>

<Yikes, that's pretty rough to have classes while everyone else is on vacation...>

<If you have nothing to do, Mizuki, why don't you just stay at home?>

<Didn't you say you're going to a gig or a show for New Year's Eve...?>

<Oh, the anime song countdown event?

Unfortunately, I couldn't get tickets...>

<It wasn't that popular last year but they got some famous singers lined up this year, so tickets sold out fast.>

<I got tickets the last two years, so I thought I was good to go but...>

<Then just stay home like I said. Don't get desperate and try to organize something on the fly.>

<I know but... My parents left for the holidays to visit my sis living overseas...>

<So I have to cook my own dinner and stuff. It's too much of a bother, so I want to go out to eat.>

<Which is why I thought it'd be nice to go out with you guys...>

<Pity that's not going to happen...>

<Are you seriously going to refuse my invite? Don't you want to go hang out together?!>

<Nope.>

<Sorry, Mizuki...>

<Well, I tried...>

<I'm logging off now.

See you later tonight.>

<Laters...>

(Well, I failed to get anyone. Is there really no one who can hang out with me tomorrow?)

(I guess everybody's already got plans.

But N25 seemed like my best bet...)

Sigh...

So, did you decide what you're gonna get?

Oh, this cake looks sooo cute.

I'm getting this one!

(Sigh... Look at all the happy people having a good time here...)

(Man, if only I managed to get a ticket for that show, I'd be having a good time today too...)

Hey, so what are you doing tonight?

I'm going to a New Year's Eve party with friends, and staying over at a friend's house.

Aww, that sounds nice!

You're gonna have a blast!

(A New Year's Eve party, huh. I wish I was going to one...)

(As much as I'd like to party with N25, Mafuyu's parents seem super strict, while Ena and Kanade don't want to go out at all...)

(Hold on a minute. There's a solution to that...!)

<Guys! Listen up!

I've got this amazing idea!>

<Ugh, not another one. And can you stop shouting into your mic?>

<Hahaha. Sorry.>

<Oh, you're all here already...?>

<I thought you were going to be late today because of cram school, Yuki?>

<I was but classes ended early.>

<Perfect timing! I was just about to reveal my super exciting idea!>

<Idea...?>

<Yup! Let's have a New Year's Eve Countdown Party!>
