(Now that I'm hearing them together, these lyrics don't really work with this melody. Maybe I should go with something more straightforward...)

<I am! I've got a feeling that the part during the chorus is gonna look even better if we added a cut where she extends her hand out!>
Ena
<Extend her hand out...?
With the current composition, that means I'm gonna have to draw all of that in.>

<I'm finished fixing my lyrics.>
Mizuki
<Once Enanan's done making that hand asset we talked about, I'll try putting a cut together based on these lyrics!>
Mizuki
<So, now that the lyrics are done, I should be able to finish all my touch-ups today if I really try. We could conceivably be finished by tomorrow.>
Kanade
<Yes, if we record the vocals today and edit everything tomorrow, I'd say it'll be ready for upload by that evening.>
Ena
<Then, tomorrow's all about cleaning it up. I'm almost done too, so I'll try doing what I can again tomorrow.>

Mafuyu's Mother
Still, I feel terrible about asking you to meet with me so suddenly. I know parent-teacher conferences don't take place for some time.
Mafuyu's Mother
But my daughter's been behaving so oddly at home lately. It's really quite worrisome...
Teacher
Ah, I see.
It's normal for a parent to be concerned about their child, so I understand.

Normal as far as I can tell...
She's been fulfilling her responsibilities as a class representative as always, and is adored by all her peers. I couldn't ask for a better student.

Mafuyu's Mother
Was there anything else? I would appreciate anything you could share with me, even if it's minor...
Teacher
Hmm... Well...
Teacher
Actually...
She did make quite a few mistakes on her finals. It was strange to see...

Teacher
To be fair, we all have our bad days, so I'm sure it's no cause for concern.
Teacher
It's just... She hardly ever makes careless mistakes like that, so–
Teacher
Huh? Yes, I handed them back the other day... I assumed she'd already told you.

Mafuyu's Mother
Yes, I agree. She's always working very hard, so I'll remind her that she needs to take breaks on occasion...
Mafuyu's Mother
(She hid how she did on her finals from me and didn't show up for cram school...)

(If this keeps up, she's going to lose focus and not do as well as she needs to on her entrance exams...)
