Part 1

School SEKAI
1
Luka
(Oh, is somebody playing the guitar?)
2
Luka
(But Ichika left to work on her lyrics, and the other girls are already gone.)
3
Luka
(Does that mean...?)
4
Luka
Ah, Miku, I suspected it was you.
5
Miku
Hi, Luka.
Wait, why did you suspect me?
6
Luka
I came here to see who was playing the guitar since Ichika and the others had left already.
7
Luka
Lo and behold... Hehe. Looks like I was right. Are you trying to come up with more ideas for their song?
8
Miku
Yeah. The girls and I managed to come up with some good ones, so I decided to write them down while they were still fresh.
9
Luka
(But she's been here all by herself since they left...?)
10
Luka
I would've helped if you just asked.
11
Miku
No, that's okay. I was really just writing down anything that came to mind.
12
Luka
Oh, really?
13
Luka
(But it's so clear that she's been putting a lot of thought into this based on how many ideas she's written down.)
14
Luka
You seem very invested in this one, Miku.
15
Miku
Huh? Again, I was just writing down anything that came to mind...
16
Luka
Hehe. You say that, but your actions tell a different story, no?
17
Miku
*Sigh*
18
Luka
Why do you seem so inspired?
19
Miku
About that...
20
Miku
Ichika saying that she started listening to songs sung by me when she was little made me so happy.
21
Luka
Oh, that's right. The girls mentioned that while talking about what they did during elementary school.
22
Miku
Yes.
23
Miku
And those siblings that Ichika told us about...
24
Miku
The girls are trying to do what they can for them, so I began wondering if I could also help them somehow.
25
Luka
I feel the same way.
26
Luka
We can't just sit back and wait to see what happens. I mean, they care about each other so much but have to live apart...
27
Miku
Exactly.
28
Miku
To tell you the truth... Ichika came here all by herself right after the girls discovered their true feelings.
29
Luka
By herself?
30
Miku
Yes. She seemed concerned, so we decided to have a session together and chat for a bit...
31
Ichika
I guess I must have been worried.
32
Ichika
I was afraid. I'm really happy to be talking with everyone like we used to, but I think I got scared imagining everything falling apart again.
33
Ichika
I'm sorry, Miku. I shouldn't be saying things like this right after you just helped us remember how much we all wanted to be together again.
34
Miku
There's nothing to be sorry about.
35
Miku
It's only natural to be worried about losing something so precious to you.
36
Ichika
Yeah, I guess you're probably right.
37
Luka
I see...
38
Luka
I don't blame her... I mean, her biggest wish actually came true.
39
Luka
As elated as she was, a part of her feared that she'd lose them again someday.
40
Miku
Right...
41
Miku
The more memories you make with someone, the harder it becomes to say goodbye to them.
42
Miku
Ichika experienced that firsthand, so she feels compelled to try and empathize with her fans. To tell that brother and sister through song.
43
Luka
Yes.
44
Luka
She'll be okay, Miku...
I'm sure they'll hear Ichika's message loud and clear.
45
Luka
And she's probably working on the lyrics for that right now.
46
Miku
Yeah, true...
47
Miku
I have a feeling she's going to write something really special.
48
Luka
Oh, what a coincidence. So do I.
49
Miku
Alright, since Ichika's probably hard at work, I'll try coming up with more ideas.
50
Luka
Hehe. I'll join you for a bit.
51
Miku
You will? Thank you.
