*Sigh*

(I really wasn't expecting that to happen...

My hope was that coming here would help clear my head.)

Mafuyu...

(She actually told her mom that she didn't want to give up music.)

(But her mom's so...)

I'm finally meeting her tomorrow...

(There isn't much I can do for Mafuyu...)

(But I need to do my best to express what I felt and how Mafuyu feels to her.)

(Because if I don't, Mafuyu might...)

I should go to bed soon. I need as much rest as I can get for tomorrow...

...

Maybe I can work for a little bit...

(That might help calm my nerves.)

(No matter how much I fiddle with this bridge, I can't seem to get it right...)

(*Sigh*

I'm having trouble focusing...)

<Hey... Huh? K?>

<Whoa, you're right! K, I didn't know you were here.>

(Oh, it's already 25:00...)

<Hello, you two.>

<You're up pretty late.

Are you sure you don't need to sleep? You're meeting Yuki's mom tomorrow, right?>

<I am. I was planning on going to bed early, but I started feeling really anxious...>

<Yeah, I can see why...>

<Speaking of which, K...

What are you gonna wear tomorrow?>

<Good question... You're not going in your sweats, are you?>

<Um... I have this blouse I used to wear during junior high school. I was thinking about putting that on...>

<She probably won't take me very seriously if I went in my usual sweats.>

<Yeah... I've got a feeling that Mafuyu's mom is super picky about stuff like that.>

<Then, I'm glad I still have it.>

(The others have told me about their impressions of her... But I wonder what she's really like...)

<Um, K...?

Wanna work together for a bit?>

<We can talk while we do. That might help you relax.>

<Okay...

I'll keep working a bit longer.>

<Oh, Enanan.

There's this new asset I wanna add. Would you mind?>

<Huh? Here I thought we were done after this one I'm working on... What is it that you wanna add?>

<It's for the girl during the interlude...

I kinda want her to have a slightly different expression.>

(Okay, that's much better.

This bridge should do nicely...)

(This is so strange...)

(I was having so much trouble just a second ago, but I figured it out immediately after we began working together.)

(Also, this is really...)

<Yeah, it might be better if her expression was a little different here. So, what did specifically you have in mind...?>

<Awesome! You're the best, Enanan!

I'm sending over a reference pic now.>

<Enanan, Amia...

I need to log off soon.>

<Roger! Night, K!>

<Oh, K, before you do!>

<Let us know if anything happens tomorrow, okay? We'll be right over to help.>

<Yeah, I'll keep my phone on standby too.>

<Thank you both...>

<I promise to do my best for both of you too.>
