(The lyrics are coming along well. But our new song is the one that Kanade made specifically for Ena...)

(A cloudy sky with rays of light shining barely through while a girl looking up...)

(There's Ena's artwork too, so I may want to make the lyrics match more closely with it...)

<Everyone, I'm back!>

<Welcome back, Enanan.>

<Hm? Just you, Yuki?>

<K's on mute until 25:00.

She said she wants to concentrate.>

<Okay... How about Amia?>

<Convenience store.>

<Alright. I guess it'll be a little quiet for a while.>

<But you're here.>

<What? I'm hardly obnoxious or anything. Especially as long as Amia doesn't bug me.>

<Really...?>

<Yes, really! And as long as you don't say anything weird.>

<Now, I'll go back to working quietly.>

<Okay.>

(Oh... I should've asked her about her art...)

...

Hm?

(An image file? It's from Ena...?)

<Yuki, are you free now?>

<Is this about that image?>

<Yeah. I wanted you to see my rough draft.>

<You showed your lyrics to K yesterday, right? I was hoping to draw something more reflective of what you wrote. Is that okay...?>

<One moment. I'll take a look.>

(A girl's hunched over on the ground while it's raining...)

<There isn't much else other than the overall design, so I can't say much...>

(Oh, the way I said that might make her mad...)

<Ah, okay... I'll try to develop the subject matter a little more then...>

<You're not mad...?>

<If I got mad at every word you said, I'd end up pulling all my hair out.>

<Oh, okay...>

<Yuki...?>

<Is there something you want to ask? It sounds like you've at least reached the point of being able to so...>

<Then...>

<Yes...?>

<This is just what I thought I've been seeing, but why do you get mad so much, Enanan?>

<Because I'm proud of my work and what I do.>

<If you worked genuinely hard on something and though it was good but are told it wasn't, you'd be mad too, right?>

<I see...>

<But I want to hear what others think in this case, so I'm prepared to receive some criticism.>

<Does that mean you want to improve your art despite any negative feedback or thoughts?>

<Yes.>

<Okay...>

<You really love art, don't you?>

<Of course I do! I wouldn't be able to keep drawing like this if I didn't!>

<...>

<I still don't really understand that. But the ability to cling to one thing so tightly...>

<Cling...? Can't you say that in a way that doesn't make me sound desperate?>

<But that's how I saw it.>

<You're so...>

<I don't have anything that makes me passionate or heated like you, Enanan.>

<I don't even know what the real me wants to actually do with herself.>

<I know. I get that...>

<But there's a big difference between not having anything and not knowing, right?>

<There is...?>

<Anyways, I need to get back to work.>

<Enanan...? Oh, maybe she's muted...>

...

(The difference between not having anything and not knowing...)

(So I should try to learn more then...?)

That may be difficult for me...
