Maki Ep. 3: A Piano for Two
Although awkward, Maki tells you kindly that she'd like to get along better with you. You meet coincidentally in the music room, and…
Player
(I'm so glad I can use the music room.)
Player
(I wonder if Maki plays the piano in here.)
[Fade in/out.]
Maki
Huh? Do I hear…
[Fade in/out.]
Maki
You…
Player
Whoa, Maki!
Maki
Were you playing the piano just now?
Player
Yeah. …Oh! I got permission from Eli. She said I could use it because no one else was.
Player
Sorry, I guess I should have asked you first.
Maki
You don't have to do that. I was just surprised because you were playing one of our songs.
Maki
Right, you also play piano, don't you?
Maki
Can I ask you something? Why do you play piano?
Player
Me? Well…
| Option 1: “Because it sounds so beautiful.” |
|---|
| Player Because it sounds so beautiful. Maki I see. I also love how the sound of it resounds in your heart. |
| Option 2: “I want people to hear my music.” |
| Player I want people to hear my music. Maki Yet here you are, playing all alone. Player Oh! Y-Yeah, you're right. (That's embarrassing.) Maki *Giggle* I'm kidding. It's only natural that sometimes you just want to play by yourself, just like sometimes you want an audience. |
Player
I'm not as good as you, but I like playing the piano.
Maki
I know how you feel. You seemed so happy playing just now.
Player
You compose all the music for ÎĽ's, right? Have you always composed music?
Maki
I wouldn't call it composing, but I used to write whatever little phrases came to mind.
Player
All the songs you write for ÎĽ's are amazing, so I'm sure you'll be a famous composer someday!
Maki
I doubt it.
Maki
I'm planning on going into the medical field.
Player
The medical field? Are you planning on becoming a doctor?
Maki
Yeah, that's the plan. Or my family's plan, anyways.
Player
I see. I didn't mean to touch on a sensitive subject.
Maki
I'm not dissatisfied with my future or anything, so it's no big deal. Don't worry about it.
Maki
Anyways, you still have some time, right? Let's play a song together.
Player
A duet? That makes me a little nervous.
Maki
Don't worry, I won't laugh if you mess up. Let's just have some fun.
Player
Thanks, Maki. Let's play!
