<Huh...? From my very first arrangement?>

<Yes. After hearing it, all these different ideas started popping into my head.>

<It even drove me towards composing an entirely new song in just one day.>

<I had no idea...>

<Interesting...>

(So that's how they met...)

(A part of me knew that we were all the “same” when I first joined this group...)

(But they must've been dealing with an unbearable amount of pain this whole time.)

<Oh, however... I collapsed and lost consciousness before I could actually upload that song.>

(I knew it. There was no way she was living a healthy life back then... Hm?!)

<Luckily, the housekeepers that my grandma asked to come over saw that I was in trouble and...>

<Hold up! Time out!!>

<Hm? Is something wrong?>

<What isn't wrong with what you just said?!>

<Yeah, K, you said you collapsed and lost consciousness...!>

<Yes, I did.

By the time I woke up, I was in the hospital.>

<What do you mean, “Yes, I did”...?>

<I've been worried that you'd get sick one day eating nothing but instant noodles... But it has already happened.>

<No better than fasting, to be honest.>

<I've been more careful lately.

I know that instant noodles alone aren't enough, so I make sure to take vitamin drinks and eat nutrient-rich foods now.>

<On top of that, having a housekeeper clean and cook delicious food for me has been an enormous help.>

<That's right. You two had already met by then.>

<Yes, I initially met her while she was still just observing, but she was the one who discovered that I was in trouble...>

<That means she's the one who saved you, right?>

<Yes. My grandma even said that there must be some meaning in us meeting.>

<Hold on, Yuki, doesn't that girl go to your school?>

<Yes, she does.>

<Wait, really?>

<You don't remember?>

<Oh, now I remember...>

<That means you knew about Kanade's housekeeper too, right, Yuki?>

<Yes, but only because Hinomori was already acquainted with her.>

<But then, you finally met her through one of her bandmates!>

<That was also because Ms. Mochizuki suggested that we meet.>

<She's such a kind, thoughtful and gentle person.>

<I'm glad...

I'd like to meet her someday.>

<Because then, I'll be able to ask her in person!>

<Ask what?>

<Nothing other than, “Please, keep an eye on Kanade for us!”>

<Okay...?>

<Haha. Hey, let's be honest. K's eating right because of her.>

<Anyway, we've been on this tangent long enough. Tell us more about what happened after you two met, K, Yuki!>

<Yeah, what happened after you collapsed?!>

<Um... They ran tests to check for abnormalities, put me on an IV and sent me home afterward...>

<What?! That's it?!>

<Yes, and after I got home...>
