I've finished cleaning up the counter. I'll be heading out after I've mopped down the floor.
Manager
Ah, good. Thank you.
Nice work.
Nice work.
Shiho
(I managed to get a hold of that bassist who's usually here and they even said that they'll see who'd be interested, so that should be a few more tickets...)
Manager
By the way, Hinomori, how are ticket sales going? It's your first time, so it can't be easy.
Shiho
Oh, um...
I've been selling them by myself because the others in my band are a little busy right now.

Manager
What? All by yourself?
Manager
I see...
Manager
But I'm sure you've come to realize that it's harder than it looks. Selling all thirty won't be easy.
Shiho
But we've decided to have a new song ready for our next show, so I want them to have time to practice playing it.
Shiho
Which is how I arrived at selling these tickets on my own. I believe it's what is best for my band.
Manager
If you say so, Hinomori.
I can't stop you...
I can't stop you...
Manager
But I'd like for you to at least keep this in mind...
Manager
Bands that make one person carry most of the load usually don't last very long.

Manager
I understand that you have a lot on your plate right now, but if this keeps happening, nothing good is going to come out of it.
Manager
It'll probably also start affecting your music.
Manager
I like Leo/need. I like your band's music. I want to keep supporting you and seeing your band grow.
Manager
I know that it's none of my business, but I sincerely believe that you should talk to your friends about this. One person shouldn't have to do all this on their own.

Yes, it took much longer than expected, but I think it's become something really special...
Shiho
Yeah, we're gonna have to play things by ear while we make any adjustments we think are going to be necessary.

Ichika
Hehe. I understand how she feels. I had a lot of fun playing that song together with everyone too.
Ichika
But some things did give me a bit of trouble, so I'll need to keep an eye on those parts...
Shiho
Then, why don't we focus on that for next time and try going through it together afterward...?

(Which leaves the leadup to the chorus...
The last time we played this, it really felt like my and Saki's sounds weren't meshing well.)

(Maybe I should tone down my drumming to let the synth shine through more since this is such a happy song.)

Oh, I wonder what was on Shiho's mind today. I could've sworn that she was trying to tell us something...

(I couldn't find Shiho at her class or the cafeteria. It looks like she hasn't even read my messages. Where could she be having lunch?)

Y-Yes...!
I was hoping to check in with you about what we'll be doing for practice next week...

We'll be going through our new song on Sunday, so we're all gonna need to brush up on any parts that were giving us trouble until then.
