Oh, it's already this late...

Hehe. We did spend a lot of time going through all the lyrics Ichi came up with♪

True...

And you gave me some nice suggestions, so I'll take it from here and do what I can.

...

Are you sure about this, Ichika?

If you feel stuck, you can tell us, okay?

I am. Thanks. Anyway, I'll be...

Oh, I almost forgot.

Honami, here...

Oh, is this...?

It's that list of flowers you asked me to put together the other day. They should all be in bloom now, so I'm sure they'll make for great gifts.

Oh, thank you so much!

I know you're trying to focus on writing those lyrics.

No, actually, it gave me a chance to take a breather.

Hm? What's this? A list of flowers?

You know how I've been doing some work as a housekeeper?

Although I'm not required to or anything, for this one place, I've been bringing over flowers from time to time.

Then I was asked to make it a part of my work order.

So they asked you to make it official and you needed some help with that?

I didn't know that!

Hehe. It'd been a while since I last looked up what sort of meaning each flower holds, so it was pretty fun.

I may even be able to use them in our lyrics...

Oh, that'd be nice! Your love of flowers is bound to give you some good ideas for a song♪

Speaking of which, I should get home and work on my lyrics.

Thanks for staying back so late with me. See you all tomorrow.

Okay, see you tomorrow!

Ichika's doing her best, but it's clear that she's having a tough time with this.

Right...

To be fair, I stumbled around in the dark for a while until you and Rin gave me hints I needed, Shiho.

(That's right. Saki went through quite a lot while writing this song for us.)

(My mind knows that but...)

Isn't there anything we can do for Ichika...?

Oh...

(Maybe Ms. Yoisaki knows...)

(She's a composer in her own right and has a dedicated lyricist in her group. She might be able to answer my question.)

(I can ask her and...)

...

Honami? Is something wrong...?

Oh, it's nothing. I was just trying to think up some ideas.

Yeah...

Hmm...

How can we help Ichi get through this?

...

(But I'm still only supposed to go to her house for work.)

(We've grown much closer, but it's probably not very professional to take my personal problems into her home...)

(Right, that would be incredibly rude of me, so I should avoid doing that to her!)

(I should come up with a way to help Ichika on my own!)

Hm?

Did you come up with something, Hona?

Huh?

You looked like you were ready to do something just now.

I... I was...?

Well, I didn't exactly come up with a good idea or anything, but...

I've decided that I need to find something that I personally can do to help.

Right. Instead of crying over spilled milk, we should think about what we can do about it.

Alright, I'm gonna do that too!

(Okay! I'll start by listening to some music and learning more about how lyrics are written.)
