Ugh... This isn't right either...

(Even though I told Shiho that, this might actually be too much for me...)

Heya♪

Rin!

Are you having a solo session, Sakki?
You're such a hard-working girl♪

Uh... Yeah!
I've been working on something and...

Oh, are you working on that original Leo/need song you were talking about?!

I am. But...

I've hit a block and was actually just thinking about going home...

What? You're leaving?

Yeah...

Wait, Sakki...!
Before you go, can I play something for you?!

You're gonna play something for me, Rin?

Sure, of course... But which instrument?

On your synth, silly!
Okay, here we go☆

R-Right!

♪——...

Wait, is Rin singing too...?

(Oh, is she improvising as she goes...?)

♪—————　♪——...

Hehe...

(But this melody's sort of all over the place, she did a really weird key change just now and her chord progression doesn't sound right either...)

(But at the same time, why?)

(It sounds so fun and exciting...!)

Hehehe. How was that, Sakki?!

You're amazing, Rin!
That was so much fun!

Really?! Yay!
I'm glad you liked it so much, Sakki♪

Um, Rin?
Did you write that yourself?

Huh? No, I didn't write anything.

What? But that song...

Haha. That was just something I wanted to try and sing along to!

Sing along...?

Wait, hang on...!
Can you at least tell me what was going through your mind while you were singing just now?

Hmm... Well... I wasn't really thinking about anything at all♪

What?!

You seemed a little down, Sakki...

So I decided to play this song to try and cheer you up.

You were trying to cheer me up...?

I'm not really sure how to describe it, but you can't make a song you're playing sparkle unless you really mean it.

Unless I mean it...?

(Oh, right...)

(It sounded like a mess, but it felt like fun because Rin genuinely wanted me to feel better.)

(But in my case...)

(I've been so focused on helping everyone out by coming up with a song that suits our band, so I'd forgotten about what I want it to convey...)

(What thoughts are going into this song...?)

(What do I want it to convey...?)

Is everything okay, Sakki?

Yeah...!
Thanks, Rin.

I'm still not exactly sure what kind of song it's gonna be, but I think I'm starting to get a better idea!

Really?! That's great!

You can do it, Sakki!
I know your song's gonna be really amazing♪

Thanks!!
