Now that you're helping μ's, you decide to talk to their song writer, Maki.

Maki tells you she doesn't feel like she needs your help. Even still, she doesn't seem to want to reject you.

Although awkward, Maki tells you kindly that she'd like to get along better with you. You meet coincidentally in the music room, and…

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 tells you that you have a knack for writing music. You feel so inspired by Maki's kind words, and by μ's' music in general.

Maki welcomed you with open arms, saying she could make a new μ's with you. This change of heart appears during the filming of her self-introduction movie, as well.

Maki can't stop thinking about you and seems hesitant. It's like she can't give you a straight answer, even about solo live show ideas.

Maki says that there's no point in performing a solo show if it's no different from a regular live show. The two of you go to ask the Nijigasaki girls for their insight as soloists, but Maki seems more fixated on something else.

Maki ponders the purpose of a live show all for herself. The answer gradually becomes clear to her.

Maki wants to show everyone a good time at her solo live show. What does “having a good time” mean to her fans?

Maki wants to share the gift of a happy moment together with her audience during her solo live show. On behalf of her fans, you suggest what you think people want to see during her performance. Maki puts her trust in you and goes up on stage…

Maki's solo live show is a huge success, but she appears to look a little down. The next day, you find Maki in the clubroom carefully reading through a magazine.

Maki still looks down in the dumps while looking for a part-time job. She was desperately trying her best to keep you from buying a bag when Rin and Hanayo show up with matching pen cases!

Maki still seems gloomy after seeing Rin and Hanayo's matching pen cases. You then happen to spot her in the shopping mall.

Maki has successfully finished her tenure at her first part-time job and heads for the shopping mall with you in tow. What is it that she wants?

After Maki's solo live show, the two of you are closer than ever. She's about to get started on songwriting for BiBi's sub-unit live show, but something's on her mind.

Maki wants to study school idols in more depth. Mari and Ai come along to assist her in her studies.

Maki received a paper fan from Mari to use to cheer on school idols. Maki refuses to use it, claiming that it's too embarrassing.

Maki has realized that she loves school idols much more than she thought. Hearing her say that she might be able to cheer on familiar idols, you urge her to cheer for Eli and Nico.

Maki has made a fan to cheer BiBi on. The fan is not just there to support Eli and Nico, but to support herself as well!

With the success of her sub-unit live show, Maki gains a deeper appreciation for school idols with each passing day. However, she seems troubled when she catches wind of something Honoka and Chika are planning.

Honoka and Chika are planning a new event. Maki watches in yearning as the two of them spread excitement and get other people around them involved. You suggest to Maki that she plan her own event, but how does she take it?

Maki has declared that she absolutely has what it takes to host an event or two, but as much as she'd like to do so, she has yet to figure out what her focus should be. She sets out to find that certain special spark.

Looking for something she could do by herself, Maki decides to hold a piano trial class event. She starts her journey down a path she could never have taken alone.

The time has come for the event that Maki has longed to create on her own. Preparations went well for her piano class, and on the day of the event, she gets plenty of helping hands!

Maki learned the importance of taking the first step on her own, and her piano class turned out great. But now she wants to try something new…

You try offering Maki your help when she expresses interest in challenging herself to try something new outside of her piano class, but she declines. You have no choice but to head home alone.
