Honami
(I tried figuring out what I want to aspire to, but things started making less and less sense the more I thought about it...)
Ichika
I figured if something's bothering you, it'd probably be that. You seemed sort of out of it yesterday too... Again, are you sure you're okay?
Honami
Yes, I'm fine...
But I am getting a little anxious about not being able to find the right answer.

Our music brought them together and allowed them to be with someone important to them.
So, how amazing would it be if we could do that for more people...?

Thinking about the things that make you happy, things you like or what you want to do might make the answer you're looking for easier to find.

Saki
My plan was to make things more fun and energetic by featuring a bunch of different instruments...
Saki
Heh heh heh. So, I decided to make a new arrangement of the song I wrote for when we battled against Saku.
Saki
We're probably gonna do more shows moving forward since we're pros now, but everyone's gonna get tired of us really fast if we keep playing the same songs over and over again.
Saki
But it also isn't easy for us to churn out new songs. So, I thought it'd be fun to have new arrangements of old songs we could play too!
Saki
And I ran into these two right after I hopped over to SEKAI, so I decided to ask them to help me.
Honami
But it seemed like something was giving you a lot of trouble. Can you tell me what...?
Saki
I was thinking we could make things more fun and energetic by featuring a bunch of different instruments...
Rin
No, that'd make it feel like a completely different song! The calm and gentle vibe is what makes this song so great!
Honami
Come to think of it, Saki, this song was about understanding a person's loneliness, right?
Saki
I get what you're saying, Rin!
But since we're going through the trouble of coming up with a new arrangement for it, I want to try something really out there so it's new for everyone listening...

Honami
What if you started by thinking about how you want people to feel after listening to this arrangement? Would that work...?
Honami
What kinds of feelings are going into it, and what the audience is going to feel when they hear it...
KAITO
This may be a new arrangement for an old song, but it's still important to take the usual things into consideration. That should help you come up with the right theme for it.
KAITO
Rin's right in saying that you may want to go with something more mellow, but I also see why you'd want to feature a variety of instruments, Saki...
KAITO
That being said, you should first think about the feelings which revolve around this song.
KAITO
So, why not start by deciding what you want them to feel now compared to before? How have these feelings changed or evolved...? That should make things easier.
Saki
That's it...! I won't just try to understand what they're going through! I'll try to encourage them and pull them forward! I want it to be that kind of song...!

Saki
Yeah! Thanks for helping me, you guys! This is probably gonna turn out really well now!
Honami
But your brain must be tired.
I bought some cookies for us, so why don't we have them together a little later?

Saki
On top of the advice you just gave me, you also brought cookies...?! You really are too good for us, Hona!
