Maki Ep. 4: Maki's Score
Talking while you both played piano has brought you closer together, and you relate to each other's reasons for playing. Maki just so happens to walk by while you're composing, and…
Maki
Oh? Isn't that…
Player
(This sounds like the same song as last time.)
Maki
Hey, are you listening?
Player
(The deeper you get into composing, the harder it gets.)
Maki
Hey! Try listening for once!
Player
Huh? Maki?
Maki
I've been calling you for a minute now! You're not ignoring me, are you?
Player
S-Sorry! I didn't notice at all.
Maki
So you must have been really focused. What were you studying?
Player
Oh, I wasn't studying. I was thinking about a new song.
Maki
You write music in the library?
Player
Yeah. (Is that weird?)
Maki
*Giggle* Even in a quiet room like this, your head is filled with music.
Maki
That seems like your style. I think it's great.
Player
Maki…
Player
A-Anyway! I was trying to think of a melody, but it sounds so much like another song I wrote. Now I'm stuck.
Maki
Did you write down the score already? Why don't we get a breath of fresh air to clear your mind?
[Fade in/out.]
Maki
*Hum*
Player
(She's humming the music I wrote.)
Player
(I don't know if I should be embarrassed or happy. It feels like I'm being judged.)
Maki
What's wrong with this? I think you're pretty good at writing music.
Player
You think I'm pretty good?! I'm so happy.
Player
Hearing you say that makes me feel a bit more confident.
Maki
Just a bit? That's all you got even though I went and complimented you?
Player
Maki…
| Option 1: “I'm just not sure what to think.” |
|---|
| Player I'm just not sure what to think. Maki You can't believe it? I wish you would trust me more. |
| Option 2: “You've recognized me as a song writer!” |
| Player You've recognized me as a song writer! Maki You make it sound like I didn't recognize you before. I always have, you know. |
Maki
You're more talented than you think. You should have more confidence in yourself.
Player
Thanks. Your encouragement makes me feel like I'll be able to write great songs!
Maki
I know, right? *Giggle*
Player
(Maki's music and words are just so inspiring. Thanks, Maki!)
