Ryo: Nayuta’s shut himself away in his room again today. I hope he’s okay.

Miyuki: Hasn’t he been in there for a week? It’s been a while since I’ve last seen him.

Reon: He's never done a theme like this before. Maybe he’s having trouble with it after all?

Kenta: Don’t worry about it too much. Nayuta shutting himself away in his room to write songs isn’t a new thing.

Reon: You're right, but…

Kenta: All we can do is have faith in him and keep waiting. Now, if you have time for chitter chatter, then you have time for practice.

Miyuki: It’s been two weeks now...is he really okay? What if he’s collapsed in there...?

Reon: Sometimes I hear the sound of the piano, so it seems like he’s still alive at least.

(Door opening)

Ryo: Ah, Nayuta! I haven't seen you in a while.

Nayuta: ...Get me coffee.

Kenta: Have you finished it?

Nayuta: I would've told you if I had.

Kenta: It looks like you're having some troubles with it.

Nayuta: Shut up.

(Door slamming)

Miyuki: He's definitely in a bad mood...he seemed tense...

Ryo: It feels like he’s on edge.

Reon: What should we do about him?

Kenta: I'll deal with it. For now, I’ll go brew him a coffee.

Miyuki: Oi oi, why are you acting so casual about this? Aren’t you the one responsible for this in the first place?

Reon: The deadline is tomorrow right? Will it be done in time? We haven’t even heard a single lyric yet.

Kenta: It'll work out.

Ryo: Kenken is always so composed.

Miyuki: What’s with that confidence...

Kenta: I’m not particularly confident in myself.

I just believe in Nayuta’s ability, is all.

Kenta: I apologise for making you come all the way out here. You can leave the rest of the trivial matters to me.

Nayuta: ...

Kenta: No need to look so unhappy. The client likes your songs so much that they requested you directly..

Having met them at least once should leave a better impression, right?

Nayuta: ...Hmph.

Kenta: Even with today’s temporary song, the other party’s reaction wasn’t bad.

We don’t have much time until the recording. Polish it up and—

Nayuta: Don’t be stupid.

It’s still a demo.

(Nayuta walks away)

Kenta: ...Nayuta!

Good grief...I wonder if they’ll extend the deadline…

⋆　⋆　⋆

Nayuta: ...Damn this.

???: Hey now, Onii-san, what’s with the terribly depressing atmosphere?

Nayuta: ...Ah?
