KAITO
Hello! I'm here to have some coffee!
MEIKO
Welcome, KAITO.
Rin
Welcome!
KAITO
Oh, are you helping out today?
Rin
Yup. Miku and Luka are apparently out singing.
MEIKO
Rin, I'll prepare the coffee, so would you mind keeping KAITO company for me?
Rin
Okay!
KAITO
Your usual delicious brew, please.
MEIKO
Yes, I know.
Rin
Hey, did you see Kohane after that?
KAITO
Hm? After when?
Rin
When?! Remember how she asked us for advice regarding the track she's making?! She talked about how she based it off of An's song!
KAITO
Oh, since then?
I mean, it's only been a day or so since we last met.
I mean, it's only been a day or so since we last met.
KAITO
Haha. Also, she has to practice for that event, so visiting every day seems a bit difficult.
Rin
Hmm... Yeah, I guess so...
KAITO
But I'm sure she'll stop by to have us listen to her song once she's finished working on the beat, no?
KAITO
We should just relax and wait patiently.
There's no point in us getting antsy, or putting pressure on her by going over to ask how she's doing.

Rin
Yeah, I know...!
But I can't get it out of my head...
But I can't get it out of my head...
Rin
Aren't you the least bit curious, KAITO?
Don't you wanna know what kind of song she's writing?
Don't you wanna know what kind of song she's writing?
KAITO
Of course I am.
KAITO
I'm looking forward to hearing her song very much since she seems to have a clear idea of what she wants to do.
Rin
Then, why does it seem like you don't really care...?
KAITO
Hm? Because I'm imagining what it's going to be like?
Rin
I-Imagining what it's gonna be like?!
KAITO
Yes. We got to hear what sort of sounds she sampling, as well as her overall image for her song.
KAITO
I've been having fun imagining how Kohane's going to mix the ingredients she's gathered in her head and throwing in a few different beats. As a result, I've been able to come up with three possible patterns.
Rin
R-Really?!
Rin
But how do you know what she's thinking?! Did you memorize every sound that she's using for her song?!
KAITO
Yes, I made an effort to remember as much as I could while I listened.
Rin
...
KAITO
Rin, is something the matter...?
Rin
It's just... You're really amazing sometimes, KAITO.
KAITO
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
Rin
Because you remembered all those different sounds and came up with essentially three songs all in your head!
Rin
How's that not amazing?!
KAITO
Umm... Have you forgotten that I'm a DJ?
Rin
No, I haven't!
KAITO
Wait, you haven't?! And you're still this amazed?!
MEIKO
It's probably because she's never seen you take being a DJ seriously, no?
MEIKO
Anyway, here's your coffee.
I went with a slightly darker roast today.

KAITO
Oh, let's have a taste...
KAITO
Mmm...!
Such a bold and deep flavor. I can feel it.

KAITO
Wait, no...!
As delicious as this coffee is, more importantly...

KAITO
I have been taking being a DJ seriously lately.
Rin & MEIKO
What are you talking about?
No, you haven't.
No, you haven't.
MEIKO
At the very least, we sure haven't seen you doing so.
KAITO
Guh... Wait, ask Len!
I've been a good teacher! Honest!
I've been a good teacher! Honest!
MEIKO
Sure...
Rin
Hmm... Okay, so...
Coming up with songs in your head isn't really a big deal for you, KAITO?
Coming up with songs in your head isn't really a big deal for you, KAITO?
KAITO
To be fair, I'm just imagining them.
KAITO
It's fairly common for those ideas to not turn out the way I want when turning them into actual sound.
Rin
Okay...?
KAITO
Anyway, I stand by my original point.
We should wait patiently and give Kohane some time.

KAITO
Ahh... Another day and another cup of MEIKO's delicious coffee...
