Location: GYROAXIA Share House

Nayuta: Oi, wake up.

Kenta: Ngh… sorry, it seems I dozed off for a moment…What’s wrong? Did you want more coffee?

Nayuta: The song is done.

Kenta: I see…

Nayuta: Listen.

Kenta: Of course.

(Nayuta plays the song for Kenta)

Kenta: I see...It’s a gentle melody that fits the theme of the commercial, yet the image of Gyro still remains.

Nayuta: Here are the lyrics.

Kenta: Could I listen to the song while I read these for a bit?

Nayuta: Do what you want. I’m gonna go get a coffee.

Kenta: …I see.

(“Family warmth” …even in the lyrics you can't deny its presence. At the depths of it…the composition is the same as his father’s song.

But in the heart of the lyrics and melody lay Nayuta's own feelings...

I understand. This…is a song to Nayuta’s father…)

Nayuta: How is it?

Kenta: It’s good, but I feel that much is obvious.

Nayuta, I can tell you put your own emotions into these lyrics.

That's what makes this Gyroaxia’s song. You did well, Nayuta.

Nayuta: Hmph…of course I did.

Kenta: I’ll handle it from here. We don’t have much time left before the recording.

You should rest a little. …You look unwell.

Nayuta: Shut up… who wouldn’t be tired…you can do…the rest…

(Nayuta faints)

Kenta: ...Oh dear.

Hm… it seems he’s hit his limit.

Location: Backstage

Miyuki: Isn't the crowd bigger than usual? Were they drawn in by that commercial?

Kenta: I believe so. The reaction was excellent after all.

Reon: I was concerned for the outcome at one point.

Ryo: Another good song was created on this planet. I was able to make people happy.

Nayuta: No… this isn’t enough.

Ryo: So greedy, Nayuta. v

Kenta: This is only preparation for being on an even bigger stage someday. Just wait a little longer, Nayuta.

Nayuta: I already know that.

Miyuki: Okay, well, isn’t it about time for the second half?

Reon: The new song is first up. I won't make a single mistake.

Nayuta: …Let’s go.

Nayuta: …I can't stand it.

His song…I can still hear it.

But that doesn't matter.

I’ll just drown it out...

...With my own song.
