(Thank goodness our new song's done.)

(The lyrics Ichika came up with are so amazing too...)

(Starting tomorrow, we need to learn to play this song while getting ready for our next show.)

(But before that can happen...)

Ichika, I know it's already pretty late, but please make sure to get to bed sooner rather than later tonight.

Huh?

Yeah, she's right!
Since you said pulled an all-nighter.

I was having so much fun working on our song that I'd completely forgotten.

Thanks, Honami.
I really appreciate it.

At the same time, I've been wondering this whole time since we met in SEKAI... How did you know I stayed up all night?

Yeah, good question... It's one thing to be running early, but I couldn't tell that she pulled an all-nighter.

About that...

I think it has to do with me helping out over at Ms. Yoisaki's house...

Huh? Yoisaki?

Yes. She has a habit of staying up all night to work on her music.

She seems to take naps in between... But I can sort of tell whether or not she's actually gotten any real sleep because she seems... Different, I suppose...?

Hmm... Different, huh...?

Whoa, Hona, does that mean you can sense people's auras?!

Alright, settle down. You know there's no way she can.

Hehe.

In any case, you were behaving a little differently compared to usual, so I started wondering if you had pulled an all-nighter.

I see.

It just means Honami is just that good at looking after us.

No, that's not true.
I can still do better.

But I really appreciate the fact that you're able to notice even the subtlest of changes.

Once I get home, Honami, I promise to have dinner, take a bath and go straight to bed tonight.

Thank you! Please get in a good night's rest.

(I need to get home and start working on our schedule leading up to the show.)

(We don't have as much time as we usually do to practice, so this may be a close one.)

(And I may need to ask Ichika and the others to cut back on shifts and such...)

(Still...)

(I'm sure we all want Hanano and her brother to hear our song.)

(We became scattered for a while...
So we sort of understand what it's like to be away from those we care about most.)

(Also, I want to do everything I can for those two since they're calling themselves Leo/need fans.)

(So, I want our song to reach them.
I want our show to touch their hearts...!)

(Which means we'll need a good practice schedule that can help us put on the best performance possible.)

(Well, that's easy to say...
But fatigue's going to build up each day.)

Hmm...

(Putting together a good schedule's one thing, but isn't there anything else I can do to help...?)

I know...!

(Yes! There is something I can do!)

Okay, I'll start working on it when I get home!
