<Hey, K, Yuki.>

<Hello...>

<Did you eat already, Amia?>

<Yup, I'm all fueled up♪

How about you, K?>

<I literally just got back from having dinner.>

<That just leaves Enanan...>

<It's ten til 25:00, so I'm sure she'll be here in about five minutes.>

(Come to think of it, Ena's been logging in later and later recently...)

(What if she's...?)

<About Enanan...

She hasn't been logging in early at all lately.>

Huh...?

<Whoa, freaky...

I was just thinking the same thing.>

<And I was wondering if she's... Well...>

<If she's...?>

<Stuck drawing her illustration?>

<Yeah, that!>

<It's like she always logs into Nightcord right at 25:00 whenever she's really having trouble with an illustration, you know?>

<Yes, I see a correlation as well...>

<Oh, I had no idea...>

<And when she's really in a slump, she hardly ever speaks even when she's online.>

<She's probably telling herself to finish drawing faster somehow...>

<Oh, I think I know what you mean...>

<On the flip side, she'll talk nonstop whenever she's on a roll or feels good about what she's drawn.>

<In Enanan's case, a picture's only worth a thousand words only when she's able to draw the darn thing, right?>

<...?>

<...>

<Uh, swing and a miss...?

That joke sounded funnier in my head...>

<What joke?>

<How a picture's worth a thousand words.>

<But in Enanan's case, her ability to talk is dependent on whether or not she's drawn said picture...>

<U-Um, Yuki...

Can I die from embarrassment now that you've thoroughly dissected my joke?>

<I'm sorry, Amia.

It's my fault for not getting it.>

<No, don't worry about it.>

(I guess I can't really crack jokes like that without Ena and her reactions...)

<I-In any case, we've established that Enanan's mood varied depending on how her illustrations are going.>

<Wouldn't it be better for her to focus on her art instead of talking so much...?>

<Ngh...!

You're so right that it pains me to hear it...>

<...>

<Oh, it's already past 25:00.>

<You're right...>

(Where could Ena be...?)

<Sorry for running late!>

<Hey, Enanan!

Did school get out late today?>

<No, I was working offline and got so focused that I lost track of what time it was...>

<That's okay. I do the same thing from time to time.>

<Anyway, let's see how we're all doing...>

(Oh, Ena's already logged in...)

<Heya♪ What's up, everyone?>

<Hello...>

<Hi.

Wait, where's Enanan?>

<She said she wants to focus and put herself on mute until 25:00.>

<Okay...>

(She said yesterday that she's gonna have her draft ready by today, so does that mean everything's going okay for her?)

(But I'm still pretty worried...)

<Hello? Are we all here...?>

<Yes...>

<Hey, I'm here too.>

<Cool, we're all on time!>

<Alright, shall we get started?>

<Oh, can I have a minute before we do...?>

<I'm kinda stuck thinking about what to do with the rough draft for our next song. Mind taking a look at it?>

(I knew it...)

<Yeah, I'll take a look!>

(Times like these, it's easier for us to come up with ideas when we put our heads together.)
