“Things might seem hard now, but things will be much better since you have a fun future ahead of you”... Yeah, this is what I was looking for...!

Even after I worked in how lonely I felt back then and how I'm trying to say, “It's gonna be okay,” to my old self...
Saki
*Sigh*
Maybe I just don't have what it takes to write a song that resonates with that crowd...

I have to keep going. I have to keep trying. I have to write a song that really hits home with them...

Oh, I might try some next time.
She even said that she'd bring something different over.

That reminds me. It's been a while since Saki and the girls did that show. How do you think it went...?
Len
Maybe there's nothing to talk about because it went well? I also wanna hear more about Saki's new song, so maybe we can ask them later about all that.

Yeah...
I don't understand why I can't make my ideas a reality even though I know exactly what I want to do...

Saki
So, I'm trying to write a song that tells people who are feeling lonely that things will be okay... I'm also trying to write it in a way that reaches the old me.

You don't have to tell us if you feel uncomfortable. It's not like we're here to interrogate you or anything.
Saki
No, it's not that I feel uncomfortable...!
It's just... It's not exactly a happy story, you know?
It's just... It's not exactly a happy story, you know?
Saki
It's about when I was in the hospital and felt really lonely because I couldn't see anyone...
Len
If you have such a clear picture in your mind, I figure you'd be able to let your feelings flow forth and write a really good song...
Len
Since we're on the topic, Saki, mind letting us hear your song? Maybe we can pick up some clues from it...
Len
Your story about when you were in the hospital was full of all these details, but your song seemed to be missing something...

Len
This is just my guess...
But you might want to open up more about what you felt, maybe?
But you might want to open up more about what you felt, maybe?
Len
Yeah. I'm wondering if you're not able to really express yourself because you haven't quite found the right answer yet.
Saki
I hated getting tested because it always hurt so much, and I felt really jealous when I saw those girls around my age having fun talking...

By doing so, you might be able to figure out a way to write a song that really resonates with the people you were talking about.
