(The practice today was a disaster too.)

Taki

(Stray cat was acting as usual... And Anon started saying unnecessary things in the middle...)

Taki

(Next practice, we must do it more properly...!)

Tomori

Ah...

Taki

Tomori?

Tomori

Ah, sorry, I might have bothered you...

Taki

No, you're not bothering me at all! What's up? Did you forget something?

Tomori

Ah... Yeah. The towel...

Tomori

It's here... Good.

Taki

Sorry, I didn't realize at all. If I'd known it was there, I would have messaged you.

Tomori

No...

Taki

...?

Tomori

Um... Taki-chan, you aren't going home...?

Taki

Ah, yeah. I asked Ririko-san to extend the studio time. Because I haven't practiced enough.

Tomori

Amazing...

Taki

Huh?

Tomori

Taki-chan... You're always working hard...

Taki

I-It's not a big deal. Working hard is only natural.

Taki

I just... want to support your singing, that's all...

Tomori

Um...?

Taki

Your singing has the power to move people's hearts... And to bring out that power... My skill just isn't enough...

Tomori

Taki-chan...

Taki

Ah... Sorry, I suddenly said things like this...

Tomori

No... It's me who's being supported...

Taki

Tomori...?

Tomori

Taki-chan, your drums... always give me courage...

Tomori

Your drums always push me forward, making me feel like no matter what happens, I'll be okay.

Tomori

So... I'm happy.

Taki

I see... I'm glad to hear that... Yeah.

Tomori

Oh, and... During the live show, when you spin your drumsticks, it's super fast... and cool.

Taki

Huh?

Tomori

How do you do that...?

Taki

How...? I'm literally just spinning them. Like this...

Tomori

A-Amazing...!

Taki

Oh, no, it's actually pretty easy. If you want, I could teach— Ah!

Taki

Ouch...!!!

Taki

(Hitting myself in the head with a drumstick is way too lame...!)

Tomori

T-Taki-chan! Are you all right...?

Taki

I-I'm fine... It often happens...!

Taki

(Oh no, I thought this was the chance to show Tomori something cool...!)
