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...>

<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.>
