(That didn't work...
Just “K” is way too short. I'm not getting any good search results.)

(Some people left comments, but they're all just saying, “K's so amazing,” and, “What do you think K's like?”)

This is so awesome, if I do say so myself...! And I stayed faithful to the song's theme from start to finish...!
Mizuki
Using art without asking first... I get that some people get carried away and do it without thinking, but I still hate when people do that...
Mizuki
(I could just send the artist a message with the expectation in mind that they'll turn me down...)

So you discovered the music Kanade and Mafuyu had made, as well as Ena's art, during a time when you didn't want to go to school?

I got up at a normal time and felt pretty refreshed, so I decided to work on my illustration.
Ena
But I think I went a bit overboard. After a while, my body started feeling really tense, so I came over to take a quick break.
Mizuki
Yup. Well, to be fair, it wasn't about you specifically, but the time when we decided to join N25.
Mizuki
We were just at the part when I made a music video using your art without asking for your permission.
Ena
I mean, imagine being asked, “I apologize if this is sudden, but I made a music video using your art. I'd like to ask you for permission to upload it online,” completely out of the blue.
Luka
I'd like to hear more about what things were like back then for you, Ena. Along with how you discovered Kanade's music.
Mizuki
Oh, I don't know much about what happened before we started working together either...
