Isn't this place incredible?!
You can try out all the cosmetics you want for one hour with just one coin♪

Oh, it's just...
Now I sort of wish there was a place where you could freely try out musical instruments and equipment.

Yeah!
Most shops will let you if you ask the staff, but you only ever get to play for a few minutes.

Right.
However, I may just be uninformed. An instrument lounge like that may already exist...

<Exactly! They really saved the day since they had just the kinds of clothes I was hoping to use!>

<Hello, Yoisaki.
Oh, wait a second... Maybe “good evening” is more appropriate based on what time it is in Japan right now...>

Saki
<So, today, I'm hoping to get as much advice from her as possible on taking good pictures!>
Kohane
<Well, I suppose it's important to choose a good location and a plan for bringing your subject's charm to the surface.>
Kohane
<Also, since your project already has a specific theme attached to it... You may want to find a way to factor that in somehow.>
Kohane
<Yes. When I entered into this photography contest for Valentine's Day a while back...>

Great shoot to you as well, Tenma.
We ended up taking quite a few pictures. Did any immediately stand out to you...?

Saki
Yes, you looked so amazing in every outfit that I'm having trouble deciding which picture to use!

Saki
This is also your chance to let me know if you see any that you don't want me to use.

Take this picture for example.
I chose this outfit with the goal of drawing out your mysterious side.

And this one was supposed to capture the kindness you showed when you helped us with our songs for Shibu Schools Fest...
Saki
They all have elements of the radiance I see in you... So, I don't know why I'm feeling this way.
Kanade
(Tenma knows what she's trying to capture. If she still feels like there's something missing, then...)
Saki
You really did do an amazing job, Kanade! You looked cool, cute and super duper ridiculously gorgeous in every picture!
Kanade
(That feeling of what you're trying to capture being just barely out of your grasp...)
Kanade
(Why does that seem so familiar...?
I feel like I understand what she's going through.)

(I'll have a message or theme solidly in mind but struggle to express it properly...)
Kanade
(A process of trial and error will produce a few possible solutions, but none will seem right...)
Kanade
This is just my guess...
But I think you should trust your sense that something is missing.

Kanade
Because I'll find myself feeling the same way sometimes when I'm composing a song...
Kanade
So, I'm willing to continue helping you until you've taken a picture that captures what you feel is missing.
