(Yeah, I should probably have these transitions before the chorus occur at a better tempo...)
Mizuki
(Alright, if I rearrange these cuts and throw in some wipes, they should look pretty different from before.)

Mizuki
Awesome! The first draft of my storyboard's all finished! Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself♪
Mizuki
(Using Ena's rough draft to put together a storyboard was definitely the right way to go! I should be able to make this video as dynamic as the song like I hoped.)
Mizuki
(After her mom took away her synthesizer, she had to take a break from arranging music and start focusing more on just writing lyrics...)
Mizuki
(At the same time, Mafuyu stayed with us the entire time when we all went to PXL, so I guess she feels bad about disappointing her mom...)

I've finished writing the lyrics, so I'll send them over now.>

<I like it...
You've brought this song's theme to life while throwing in some nice personal touches, Amia.>

<Also, credit where credit's due, the visual imagery in Enanan's rough draft was really amazing and made my job a lot easier...>
Ena
<But if we're gonna go with this structure, I want the part before the chorus to pack a bigger punch!>
Mizuki
<A bigger punch...? Hmm... I thought spins and wipes on one image would work here...>
Mizuki
<However, Enanan, you might be right. It might be easier to get K and Yuki's message across by going with your idea. So, what do you two think...?>
Kanade
<But if you two believe that it can be made better, then I'd like for us to make those changes.>
Mafuyu
<However... I'll have my hands full with cram school starting next week, so I want to do as much as I can right now.>

Mafuyu
<The night of that practice exam, after I told her that I couldn't take it because I wasn't feeling well, she asked that I refrain from staying up so late to study.>
Kanade
<I agree. It even helped me come up with song ideas, so I think it was worth the trip.>
Ena
<Yeah. Okay, to be fair, I wasn't sure what was gonna happen after a certain someone showed up looking sick to her stomach... But it turned out to be really fun, so I hope we get to go again.>
Ena
<She took away your synthesizer already, so if she finds out that you're still doing music-related stuff...>

It's okay to reduce the amount of time you spend on here.>

<Um...
Isn't that the first time Yuki herself said, “I feel the most at ease when I'm working here”...?>

Her saying such a thing may be an ominous sign considering what's been going on with her...>

(I guess it's now safe to say that we're providing a space where Mafuyu feels comfortable...)
Ena
<Oh, we should probably get back to work soon... Amia, can we have a quick chat about that part before the chorus?>

Ena
<Okay, let's run with that!
If you'll take what we just discussed and make those changes to the storyboard...>

Mizuki
<Sure thing! And you'd be doing me a huge favor if you could start working on the illustrations for the non-chorus parts!>
Mizuki
<This song sorta had the same theme as that one, so I decided to do a little self-homage! But I didn't think anyone would notice since it was so subtle...>
Ena
<I mean, how long have we known each other now? Lately, I feel like I've been getting a more intuitive sense of what you want to express.>

<Uh, no!
It's just... I'm happy to hear that you actually pay close attention to the videos I make, Enanan♪>

<Morning, Mizuki! I'm going to work now! I made some seafood curry for lunch, so please make sure to have some!>
Mizuki's Mother
<Oh, your sister sent you a package.
I'll leave it down in the living room.>
