Okay, I'll play it now...

I thought your next song was going to be good after hearing the rough draft of it the other day, but you found a way to make it even better.

Thank you.

I did get stuck a few times, but I'm hoping this is enough for all of you to get started on everything else...

Yeah, I'll get to work on my rough draft once I get back.

I'd like to hear more about what this song's about...

Okay.

Oh, before I forget...

Mizuki, thank you for inviting me out to that cafe the other day.

What cafe...?

We decided to try going to a cafe to work as a little change of pace.

I see.

Yeah, and it was the first time we got to see how we all work! It felt like a totally new perspective.

But Kanade had trouble focusing because of everyone else that was there...

Right...

However, after I returned home and got back to work, I figured out the part I was stuck at, so I think it was worth the trip.

Really? You said before that you enjoyed it, but I feel a lot better knowing that it actually helped.

So...

What was it like to work on stuff at a cafe...?

You always work on a computer, right, Kanade? Did you take that with you?

Oh, no. I just took my notebook and wrote music in that.

Mafuyu worked on her phone and notepad...

Yes...

We brought tablets and worked using those...

Working on your music at a cafe. Hehe...

You're snickering. Is it that interesting...?

Oh? Don't you find it interesting, Rin?

You were the second to arrive here, so I was under the impression that you'd have a better feel for things than me.

A better feel? Of what...?

How things have been changing...?

Yes, precisely.

Knowing what they were like when you first arrived here, Rin, could you have seen them going to a cafe together to work on their music?

Hmm...

No, I guess not...

See?

One thing after another seems to have led to them understanding one another better and bringing about a more relaxed atmosphere.

I can't say if they realize this.

But their actions appear to be leading to change, and they're having fun in the process.

You think so? As for me...

I'm not really sure what's good or bad, or fun for that matter...

There's a possibility that the change they're experiencing doesn't lead to a happy ending.

Hehe. That's very thoughtful of you.

You're just not very nice, Luka.

Oh? It makes my heart ache when I see the others in pain.

Uh huh...

...

I don't know if this is related at all, but you seem to be changing as well.

Oh, me...?

Remember what you said when you first arrived here? About wanting to break the status quo?

Oh, that hasn't changed one bit.

However, I don't see the need to actively pursue that right now.

So, in essence, you've learned to heel...?

Then... Good girl, Luka.

Hehe. You two are so mean.

However...

Just watching what they do has been very interesting.

This place is like a gift that keeps on giving.
