Kanade...
Hm? Yes?
You've stopped eating.
Are you done?
Oh, sorry. No, I was just thinking. I'll eat.
...
Thanks for dinner.
Should I make some tea?
Oh... No, I'll pass.
I'd like to get right back to work.
That reminds me...
There's something I'd like to ask you regarding N25, if that's alright.
<Oh, hey! We've already started working.>
<You know, that message from K took us both by surprise. What's all this “I want to work alone for a while” stuff?>
<That's...>
I'd like to work alone for a while so I can focus more on what I'm doing.
So, I know this is asking a lot of you, but would it be possible for you to work in the bedroom?
Oh, and please feel free to eat and take baths whenever you like. You don't have to mind me.
<It sounds like she won't be logging into Nightcord for a little while, either.>
<So let me know if you need something from K. I'll tell her myself.>
<Roger.>
<K must be really motivated about completing this song, huh?>
<Yeah. Let's do what we can on our end so she can work in peace.>
<Sounds good! Then, let's all do our best♪>
<Okay.>
<Yeah!>
...
<You two are oddly quiet today.>
<Hey, what's that supposed to mean? You're making it sound like we're really obnoxious normally.>
<You are.>
<Excuse me?>
<Alright, settle down, you two.>
<To tell you the truth, I was also thinking that something didn't feel right. Maybe that's why we weren't talking as much as we usually do?>
<Yeah, it isn't exactly business as usual.
Maybe because it's just the three of us right now...>
<But this isn't the first time that we've been down to just three.>
<For example, whenever I've been busy or that time I went on the school trip, the three of you kept on working.>
<Now that you mention it, I've also been gone a few times...>
<Haha. Me too...>
<Still, when you really think about it, it's pretty rare for K to be the one who's not around, you know?>
<Yeah, I guess...
The only time I can think of was when Yuki wanted to stay in SEKAI. K volunteered to write lyrics and mix songs all by herself.>
<Hmm... I can't think of any other examples. How about you, Yuki?>
<I can't either...>
<K has been composing songs this entire time to fulfill the promise she made to me...>
<And she seems particularly interested in completing this song. I can't wait to hear what it's like.>
<I'm sure she's going to produce something really good.>
<I agree...>
<Anyway, I'm gonna mute myself and get back to work. Let me know if anything comes up.>
<I'll do the same. Oh, but I'm always happy to chat about stuff♪>
<Okay, talk to you two later.>
