Sorry for dropping by on your day off, Shioriko.

Oh, don't worry about that. I was the one who invited you, after all.

You mentioned you wanted to learn the choreography today, so I thought a room with a tatami mat floor might be best.

Thanks.

But I have to ask, what are you doing here?

*Laugh* I mean, I wanted to help you with your training, Karin.

Oh, you don't need to help me with this! This has nothing to do with being a school idol, after all.

Haven't I told you before? I'm a huge Karin fan, no matter what it is you're doing. That's why I'm here to watch you!

Geez…

Ahaha. Are you getting sick of me?

More like embarrassed, I'm sure.

Wha—?! N-No! I'm annoyed!

*Giggle* Your face is awfully red, Karin.

Don't you start teasing me too!

[Fade in/out.]

H-Hey, wait a second, Shioriko!

Very well. Let us take a five-minute break.

Five minutes?! I-If you say so…

While we're on our break, may I offer you some advice?

Karin, your posture is immaculate and you've already mastered the footwork. You must have your experience as a model to thank for that.

However, you must perform with your entire body, down to your fingertips. Neglecting those little details will overshadow the rest of your stellar performance.

I'm sure just telling you this won't help you understand, though. Here's the trick to it. Consider the nerves in the thumb and ring finger, and…

Hold on, let me write this down.

[Fade in/out.]

Wonderful job, Karin. You've learned everything so well that I have nothing left to teach you!

That was beautiful, Karin!

*Huff* *Puff* Thank you, both of you.

I'm tired, but I feel like I accomplished something. It's a nice feeling!
