Setsuna. You're gonna burn a hole right through me if you stare at me like that.

S-Sorry!

*Giggle* Is my sax practice really that interesting to you?

Yes! I mean, just look how good you've become.

And you even practice a lot in your dorm.

Thanks for the kind words, but I've still got a long way to go.

So you're still not satisfied… Your ambition really is incredible, Karin.

I'm pretty competitive by nature, but you do realize it's your fault that my competitive spirit is getting even stronger, right?

What?! My fault?!

Actually, that's not what I really meant. I should be thanking you.

When I see you, it makes me want to try harder. So the truth is, I'm glad that you get to see me like this.

That's a good thing, right?

It sure is. It's great that we have a relationship where we can build each other up.

*Giggle* You've got that right!

Hey, Karin. It's a long way from finished, but I have an idea of how I want the song to sound. Can you give it a listen for me?

Really?! You should've said something earlier! I want to hear it right this instant.

[Fade in/out.]

What do you think?

It's perfectly in line with the feel of the movie. Will I be playing sax in the intro?

If possible, yes. I was hoping that I could make some use of all the effort you've been putting in.

Wow! That's great! I'd like to hear that too.

I wasn't planning to wriggle out of it, but now I guess I have no choice, huh?

If you want me to play on it that much, then I have a request for you as well.

You do?

I'd like you to stick around during my practice until I'm satisfied.

If you and Setsuna are with me, I'll be able to give it my all.

Then let's get to it!
