(I told Shiho that I want to see what I'm capable of, but songwriting's turning out to be so hard...)

Tsukasa
I came to ask if you had already tried any of the fruit jellies that were in the freezer.
Tsukasa
Oh, I know! The one you were looking for wasn't there! It's no wonder you seem so down, Saki!
Tsukasa
Take myself for example. I tried a grapefruit-flavored one just now even though I'm not exactly a fan of them...
Saki
Tsukasa, I'm in high school now! I'm not a little kid that gets all pouty over something like jellies anymore...!
Tsukasa
Then tell me, why do you seem so down? Remember, you can talk to your magnificent big brother about anything!
Saki
Lately, the girls and I have been talking about coming up with an original song for our band...
Saki
And even though I know how to play the piano, it feels like I haven't been able to fit it into our music at all.
Tsukasa
Also, being able to play the piano doesn't automatically mean you'll know how to write songs.
Saki
Oh, that reminds me! Didn't you and Toya used to play the piano together when we were kids?
Saki
I remember you wanting to see who could play it the most freely or something, and really banging away at the keys.
Tsukasa
Your description isn't doing it any justice. There was definitely a certain kind of melody or rhythm we were playing to...
Tsukasa
L-Look who's talking! Didn't you jump in right after that and cause an even bigger racket?!
Saki
No, I was just copying what you were doing! I wasn't fooling around like you were, Tsukasa!
Saki
But in the end, Toya just kept at it to try and make whatever musical mess we were making work.
Tsukasa
Looking back, I feel a little bad for him, but then again, we all seemed to be having a good time.
Saki
I am having so much fun playing and performing with everyone! I love every minute of it!

Saki
That's why... I know things won't go well in the beginning, but I want to do what I can.
Saki
So it is tough in that sense... But I feel like it's just something I have to deal with for now...
Tsukasa
We fail and put everyone's efforts to waste... And even when we propose to create something good, they don't feel the same...
Tsukasa
Or even when we haven't changed, our surroundings change and let ourselves get lonely...
Tsukasa
We become so obsessed with our own dreams and full of pride that we end up hurting the people close to us...
Tsukasa
Why are you apologizing? This is exactly the same as that tough hurdle you just mentioned.

Saki
I thought about it for a really long time and still felt that I want to be in a band with you!
Saki
Tsukasa, I'm heading back up to my room! I'm gonna write this song no matter what it takes!
