Taki

Why isn't she coming?

Soyo

You told her we had rehearsal every day. Should we start practice?

Anon

We're doing the version you sent this morning, right?

Taki

I'll rethink the arrangement.

Anon

What!?

Soyo

What do we do about rehearsing?

Taki

...

Tomori

...

Taki

*Sigh*...

Sakiko

Is something wrong?

Taki

...

Sakiko

Oh. You were struggling with this phrase here. Then, will this work?

Taki

...

Anon

Sorry! We got held up doing class duty.

Taki

I wish you'd just tell us if you'll be here or not.

Anon

What?

Rāna

? I came.

Soyo

Hmm... If you told us beforehand, I think that'd really help~

Taki

Stray cat, lend me your phone.

Rāna

Here.

Taki

I added you to the group chat, so make sure you come. And you can't be late either.

Rāna

...

Taki

Tomori, let's start rehearsal.

Anon

Um... Rikki...

Taki

What?

Anon

Which sheet music?

Taki

Yesterday's.

Anon

Huh~ I still can't play it...

Taki

Until you can play it, you'll practice alone.

Soyo

Since we've all gathered, let's play together.

Taki

Let's start rehearsal.

Anon

...

Rāna

I'm satisfied.

Taki

Hey! We're not done yet. Why are you trying to go home?

Rāna

?

Taki

The performance still hasn't come together at all.

Rāna

That's true.

Soyo

Rāna-chan's performance is probably fine, you don't have to worry, don't you think?

Taki

And you? Are you really practicing?

Taki

You're worse than you used to be.

Soyo

Really? But I'm working hard~

Taki

If we don't all play together, then we aren't a band!

Taki

And Anon, you're absolutely terrible! Double your practice!

Anon

Ugh...

Taki

And... Hm? Where's stray cat?

Tomori

Um, she left just now...

Taki

Huh!?

Soyo

She really is like a cat~

Taki

*Sigh*... We didn't even manage a decent rehearsal...

Taki

Do we do it without the stray cat? Or...

Taki

There's no guarantee she will even show up for the live. And if I keep changing the arrangement, a beginner like Anon won't be able to keep up...

Sakiko

I will write music worthy of Tomori's lyrics.

Sakiko

Please, tell me anything you think of. This is my duty as the music's composer!

Taki

Why am I remembering this now...?

Sakiko

What is the meaning of this? She came again today!

Mutsumi

Soyo is in a band right now. And she's invited me to join.

Sakiko

Is she doing this to spite me...?

Sakiko

*Sigh*... This means that the more I attempt to avoid her, the more she will chase after me.

Sakiko

It appears it's necessary for me to speak with her.

Mutsumi

Will you come to Tsukinomori?

Sakiko

...!! How could I possibly—

Sakiko

...

Mutsumi

I think you could probably meet with her on the day of the live show.

Sakiko

When is it?

Anon

Ugh... I messed up...

Taki

What? She's not here?

Tomori

Maybe she's not coming to practice today either...

Taki

Unbelievable...

Soyo

She might just be late like she was last time.

Taki

...

Anon

Oh, I failed again...

Taki

Right there! That's wrong! When will you ever be able to play it properly!?

Anon

Please don't yell at me.

Taki

What?

Anon

Every time we practice, the arrangement changes and I have to relearn the song... Even when I try to play, I only get ignored or criticized!

Anon

Just try to think of others a little!

Taki

You don't know what I'm going through...!

Soyo

Both of you, calm down!

Soyo

I understand your anxious feelings. Taki-chan, you're working harder than any of us.

Taki

Stop it. Don't do that...

Soyo

I'm sorry for leaving everything to you all the time.

Tomori

I, um... Me too, if there's anything I can do...

Soyo

Is there anything we can help with? If we work together, we can do it, right?

Taki

Does this mean you don't think you can depend on me?

Soyo・Tomori

What...?

Soyo

I never said that—

Taki

I just can't do it like Sakiko can!!

Tomori・Anon

...!?

Soyo

Taki-chan...

Taki
