<Are we all back now?>

<I'm here, K.>

<Same. I'm ready to start working whenever.>

<But is there anything we can do?>

<Oh, right.

The next song will be the one based on what Yuki told us about her family in SEKAI earlier, yeah?>

<Then, what should we do while we wait for K?>

<I have other demos ready, so I'd appreciate it if you could all start working on those.>

<Let's see... Oh, here they are.

I'll send them over now.>

<Cool♪>

<Still, K, I can't wait to hear how your song captures the warm memories Yuki has of her family.>

<Same. Still, warmth...

You could tackle that from a lot of different angles.>

<True...>

<Yeah. Feelings and stuff are one thing, but plenty of physical objects are also warm♪>

<Physical objects...?>

<For example, the sense of relaxation that overcomes you when you dip into a warm bath.>

<I guess that also goes for those heated eyemasks that help with eye fatigue. I really like how warm and cozy they feel.>

<It's like being gently wrapped in a blanket, you know?>

<Gently wrapped in a blanket...>

<Can either of you come up with examples of when you feel that kind of warmth, K, Yuki?>

<Me? I'm not sure...>

<Does this have anything to do with composing?>

<Aww, c'mon. We did just upload a new song today. Why not relax a bit by having a chat?>

<I mean, this could lead to your next great idea♪>

<When do I feel that sort of warmth...>

<I suppose when we're having a meal together, or drinking tea...>

<Which involves physically warm food or drinks, yes.>

<In that case, what sort of warmth do you feel?>

<What sort of warmth...?

When you phrase it that way, I don't really know...>

<I'm not sure either.>

<Then, let's put it to the test!>

<We're back with our tea.>

<Me too. I also fixed myself a cup.>

<Wait, why you two?>

<Why not? Maybe I just wanted to feel included.>

<Still, we did just pour these cups.

They're hot more than warm, you know?>

<Yes. Why don't we wait until they're just the right temperature?>

<Oh, that reminds me. Do you two know what “just the right temperature” is?>

<Wait, what do you mean?>

<Yuki told me the other day.

Let's see... For warm drinks, the range is between sixty and seventy-degrees Celsius. For cold drinks, it's between five and eleven, yes?>

<That's right. Apparently, those are the temperatures in which we think those drinks are the most delicious.>

<Whoa, really?! Also, what led to you two talking about something like that?>

<How did we end up on that subject...?>

<I think we were originally talking about how consuming things which are too hot or too cold isn't good for your digestive system...>

<They should be the right temperature now, yes?>

<I think so. Why don't we try taking a sip?>

<Wait, before you do, why don't you try feeling how warm your cup is first?>

<Okay, I'll try that.>

<How is it?>

<It's fairly warm...>

<And...?>

<That's all...>

<Then, I'll try feeling my cup...>

<Yeah, me too! Ow! Oww!

Mine's still piping hot...>

<You're kidding, right? It's been a while since we poured our tea.>

<It's still super hot. That's the truth.>

<You were right, Yuki. Mine's still fairly warm too.>

<Anyway, I'll try taking a sip now.>

<Okay...>

*Blow*

<Still hot...!>

<What was that, Amia...?

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?>

<No, I'm not! This really is molten hot!>

<Seriously...? Anyway, Yuki, K, what are your thoughts?>

<It's just the right temperature.>

<Yes, and I can feel the warmth coursing through my body...>

<I'd say this is more soothing than gentle.>

(Still, Mizuki was right. Taking a break was a good idea.)

<And this is delicious.>
