*Sigh*

Oh, I must've left without turning the program off... I'm back, Miku...

...

Our first show sort of went the same way, but no one responding positively was definitely something new...

(Not only that...)

A song that resonates with people...

(Maybe that crowd would've responded better if I'd chosen more relatable language for the lyrics.)

(No that wasn't the only issue.
I wish I could've helped Saki more with the music...)

...

——♪ ——♪

(I was so happy when you sang for the very first time...)

I'm sorry that I can't produce better music for you.

Hm...?

(When did I fall asleep...?
What time is it...?)

Oh, a message from Shiho...

<I'd like for us to do a debrief tomorrow concerning today's show.>

<Please think of areas where we need improvement, what we can do moving forward and such.>

Areas where we need improvement...
Oh...

<Thank you, Shiho.
I'll make sure to think of some things.>

Honami's already replied.
I should do the same.

<Sorry about the late reply.
I'll think on this as well.>

<OK!>

<Let's do our best!>

Hang on...
Saki hasn't responded yet...

(She's usually the first to respond to these kinds of messages too.)

(She might be feeling really down because of what happened during the show and what Saku said...)

<Sorry! I was doing a solo debrief and totally lost track of the time!>

Oh, it's Saki...!

<A solo debrief?>

<It's just like how it sounds!
I was doing a debrief all on my own!>

<Like why we couldn't reach the crowd and stuff.>

<Right. If don't find the answer to that, we'll just end up in the same situation...>

<Yeah, exactly!>

<But nothing's made me go, “Eureka!” yet, so I'm gonna keep trying to come up with ideas!>

...

(I was worried that Saki would've been hit the hardest by what happened today...)

But she's so strong.

I should also try coming up with some ideas. I need to think about what went wrong and what could've gone better.

Alright...

<Thanks, Saki.>

<Huh? Did I do something worth being thanked for?>

<That's a secret.>
