Mizuki

Listen

<Hey, K, Yuki.>
2

Mafuyu

Listen

<Hello...>
3

Kanade

Listen

<Did you eat already, Amia?>
4

Mizuki

Listen

<Yup, I'm all fueled up♪
How about you, K?>
5

Kanade

Listen

<I literally just got back from having dinner.>
6

Mafuyu

Listen

<That just leaves Enanan...>
7

Mizuki

Listen

<It's ten til 25:00, so I'm sure she'll be here in about five minutes.>
8

Mizuki

Listen

(Come to think of it, Ena's been logging in later and later recently...)
9

Mizuki

Listen

(What if she's...?)
10

Mafuyu

Listen

<About Enanan...
She hasn't been logging in early at all lately.>
11

Mizuki

Listen

Huh...?
12

Mizuki

Listen

<Whoa, freaky...
I was just thinking the same thing.>
13

Mizuki

Listen

<And I was wondering if she's... Well...>
14

Kanade

Listen

<If she's...?>
15

Mafuyu

Listen

<Stuck drawing her illustration?>
16

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, that!>
17

Mizuki

Listen

<It's like she always logs into Nightcord right at 25:00 whenever she's really having trouble with an illustration, you know?>
18

Mafuyu

Listen

<Yes, I see a correlation as well...>
19

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, I had no idea...>
20

Mizuki

Listen

<And when she's really in a slump, she hardly ever speaks even when she's online.>
21

Mizuki

Listen

<She's probably telling herself to finish drawing faster somehow...>
22

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, I think I know what you mean...>
23

Mizuki

Listen

<On the flip side, she'll talk nonstop whenever she's on a roll or feels good about what she's drawn.>
24

Mizuki

Listen

<In Enanan's case, a picture's only worth a thousand words only when she's able to draw the darn thing, right?>
25

Kanade

Listen

<...?>
26

Mafuyu

Listen

<...>
27

Mizuki

Listen

<Uh, swing and a miss...?
That joke sounded funnier in my head...>
28

Kanade

Listen

<What joke?>
29

Mafuyu

Listen

<How a picture's worth a thousand words.>
30

Mafuyu

Listen

<But in Enanan's case, her ability to talk is dependent on whether or not she's drawn said picture...>
31

Mizuki

Listen

<U-Um, Yuki...
Can I die from embarrassment now that you've thoroughly dissected my joke?>
32

Kanade

Listen

<I'm sorry, Amia.
It's my fault for not getting it.>
33

Mizuki

Listen

<No, don't worry about it.>
34

Mizuki

Listen

(I guess I can't really crack jokes like that without Ena and her reactions...)
35

Mizuki

Listen

<I-In any case, we've established that Enanan's mood varied depending on how her illustrations are going.>
36

Mafuyu

Listen

<Wouldn't it be better for her to focus on her art instead of talking so much...?>
37

Mizuki

Listen

<Ngh...!
You're so right that it pains me to hear it...>
38

Kanade

Listen

<...>
39

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, it's already past 25:00.>
40

Mizuki

Listen

<You're right...>
41

Mizuki

Listen

(Where could Ena be...?)

Ena

Listen

<Sorry for running late!>
43

Mizuki

Listen

<Hey, Enanan!
Did school get out late today?>
44

Ena

Listen

<No, I was working offline and got so focused that I lost track of what time it was...>
45

Kanade

Listen

<That's okay. I do the same thing from time to time.>
46

Kanade

Listen

<Anyway, let's see how we're all doing...>
The next day

Mizuki

Listen

(Oh, Ena's already logged in...)
48

Mizuki

Listen

<Heya♪ What's up, everyone?>
49

Mafuyu

Listen

<Hello...>
50

Mizuki

Listen

<Hi.
Wait, where's Enanan?>
51

Mafuyu

Listen

<She said she wants to focus and put herself on mute until 25:00.>
52

Mizuki

Listen

<Okay...>
53

Mizuki

Listen

(She said yesterday that she's gonna have her draft ready by today, so does that mean everything's going okay for her?)
54

Mizuki

Listen

(But I'm still pretty worried...)

Kanade

Listen

<Hello? Are we all here...?>
56

Mafuyu

Listen

<Yes...>
57

Ena

Listen

<Hey, I'm here too.>
58

Mizuki

Listen

<Cool, we're all on time!>
59

Kanade

Listen

<Alright, shall we get started?>
60

Ena

Listen

<Oh, can I have a minute before we do...?>
61

Ena

Listen

<I'm kinda stuck thinking about what to do with the rough draft for our next song. Mind taking a look at it?>
62

Mizuki

Listen

(I knew it...)
63

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, I'll take a look!>
64

Mizuki

Listen

(Times like these, it's easier for us to come up with ideas when we put our heads together.)
