Ena's Message
<I really appreciate the concern you've all shown for me, but like I said in SEKAI, I'm gonna keep trying.>

Mafuyu
Ena...

Mizuki's Message
<Yeah, you've got this. We believe in you, Ena!>
5
Kanade's Message
<Tomorrow probably won't be easy for you, so please, try to get some rest.>

Mafuyu

7
Mafuyu
<Try not to oversleep. Good night.>
8
Mafuyu
<Are you going to keep working, K?>
9
Kanade
<Yes, I'll stay.
The demo for the next song is almost done.>
10
Mizuki
<Alright...
If you're staying, K, I'll keep doing what I can on my end too.>
11
Mafuyu
<When do you think she'll finish her illustration...?>
12
Kanade
<I don't know...>
13
Kanade
<But we shouldn't release this song without a music video.>
14
Mafuyu
<Because having a music video makes it more accessible...?>
15
Kanade
<Yes. As we discussed before, how our songs are interpreted by others can vary wildly based on whether or not we release them with music videos.>
16
Kanade
<Right now, N25's music absolutely needs both Enanan's art and Amia's videos.>
17
Mizuki
<K...>
18
Kanade
<Not only that...
They've helped me quite a lot already.>
19
Mafuyu
<Huh?>
20
Mizuki
<What do you mean?>
21
Kanade
<There are still times when I'm not sure if the songs I compose include 100% of what I'm trying to express or convey...>
22
Mizuki
<Wait, really?>
23
Kanade
<Yes. It happens often with demos.
I usually end up asking myself, “This doesn't seem right. What am I missing?”>
24
Kanade
<That's usually when I take a look at Yuki's lyrics, your storyboards, Amia, or Enanan's art.>
25
Kanade
<When I do, that's when a lightbulb goes off in my head, and end up saying, “Oh, that's it...”>
26
Mafuyu
<What we do fills that void...?>
27
Kanade
<Yes, that's right.
Does that ever happen to you, Yuki?>
28
Mafuyu
<On occasion...>
29
Mizuki
<Now that you mention it, you made some changes at the last minute for our most recent song.>
30
Mafuyu
<I did. I made those changes after seeing the illustration for that song.>
31
Mafuyu
<But Enanan said, “Why'd you change that part? I actually kinda liked it.”>
32
Kanade
<Oh, that's right.>
33
Mizuki
<Yeah, seeing Enanan go on her tirade after that was pretty funny.>
34
Kanade
<She must've felt so conflicted.
She drew that illustration based on lyrics that she liked, but those lyrics ended up changing because of her.>
35
Mizuki
<I know, right? At the same time, those changes were for the better, so I heard some joy mixed in with her anger.>
36
Mafuyu
<Enanan was so hard to deal with that day.>
37
Mizuki
<Haha! I definitely don't recommend saying that to her face, Yuki.>
38
Mafuyu
<I won't. I know it'll just make things worse.>
39
Kanade
<...>
40
Kanade
<Still, this is why I think Enanan has more of an effect on us than she realizes...>
41
Mafuyu
<I agree...>
42
Mafuyu
<Our videos usually go up late because Enanan takes so much time with her illustrations.>
43
Mizuki
<Whoa, time out! Another big no-no!!>
44
Mafuyu
<I know.>
45
Kanade
<To her credit, Enanan's usually late because she always says, “I can still do a little better.”>
46
Mizuki
<Yeah, it's never because she's out slacking off or doing something else...>
47
Mizuki
<She just keeps trying and trying to make it as good as possible.>
48
Kanade
<Exactly. People like us have the option of thinking, “That's good,” or, “That'll do.”>
49
Kanade
<Chiefly because there's no real “right answer” in terms of what we do.>
50
Mafuyu
<No one knows the right answer.
You just have to keep going until you're satisfied.>
51
Kanade
<Right...>
52
Kanade
<But just waiting around doesn't feel right...>
53
Mafuyu
<I disagree. Don't you think we owe Enanan at least that...?>
54
Kanade
<Huh?>
55
Mafuyu
<No matter what happens, she always finds a way to create something that works for us in the end.>
56
Kanade
<Hehe. That's true too...>
57
Mizuki
<Yup♪ Nice one, Yuki!>
58
Mafuyu
<Is it? I was just talking about what's happened in the past.>
59
Mizuki
<Anyway, I'm gonna keep looking for materials that match Yuki's lyrics♪>
60
Kanade
<I'll keep working on the demo I had us all hear in SEKAI.>
61
Mafuyu
<I'll go back to working too.
Talk to you later.>
