Umiri

Then I will handle the schedule from here.

Sakiko

Please do.

Umiri

...

Umiri

Come to think of it, tomorrow is a day off.

Sakiko

Yes, it is. It feels like it has been quite some time.

Umiri

Things have been busy lately. What will you be doing, Togawa-san?

Sakiko

What do you mean...?

Umiri

I mean tomorrow. Do you have any plans?

Sakiko

Nothing in particular... Were you inviting me somewhere?

Umiri

No, not exactly.

Umiri

I was just wondering what you do on your days off.

Sakiko

Tomorrow... I plan to work on composing.

Sakiko

Right now, all of my time belongs to Ave Mujica. There is no real line between on and off for me.

Umiri

I see. Do you have anything like a hobby?

Sakiko

Not particularly...

Umiri

I see.

Sakiko

Yes.

Umiri

...

Sakiko

...?

Sakiko

(Was that... not what Umiri wanted to talk about?)

Sakiko

What about you, Umiri? Do you have any plans?

Umiri

Tomorrow? Nothing in particular. Just the usual.

Sakiko

What does "the usual" mean?

Umiri

Exactly what it sounds like. I wake up, eat, and go to bed at the same times as always.

Umiri

I manage my daily routine with apps and timers. It is efficient for practice and schoolwork. That does not change whether I am working or not.

Umiri

In the sense that I do not really have a concept of days off, we might be similar, Togawa-san.

Sakiko

I see... Then, do you have any hobbies?

Umiri

Not particularly.

Umiri

...

Sakiko

...

Sakiko

(The conversation stopped again...)

Sakiko

(Was that not the right question either...?)

Umiri

Oh... I do like looking at audio equipment.

Umiri

It still has to do with the band, so I am not sure I would call it a hobby.

Sakiko

No, I think that is wonderful.

Sakiko

It could also mean that you devote all of your time to music... That is one way to look at it.

Umiri

Contributing to the band is a given.

Sakiko

I knew I was right to reach out to you.

Sakiko

It is reassuring to have you with us.

Umiri

...? Thank you.

Sakiko

(That should settle things for now... I suppose.)

Umiri

Um... Togawa-san. Is something going on?

Sakiko

...?

Umiri

It just seems unusual for you to praise me by going that far. Did something good happen?

Sakiko

...

Sakiko

(So she was not looking for anything in particular...?)

Sakiko

No, it is nothing. Let us both have a good day off.

Umiri

Huh? Yes.
