<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.)
