That frown is pretty intense, Mia. What's wrong?

Nothing. It's no big deal.

…No, wait. Maybe I should talk to you about it.

I'm having a hard time writing this song.

What song?

Earlier you asked me if I was having writer's block, remember? It looks like you were right. Even though until now, I've been able to write multiple songs in one night.

So you're saying that you can't even write a single song?

No, I can get the song out on paper. I think it's pretty good too.

But then I think…could I, Mia Taylor, really perform this song on stage?

When I start thinking about that, I realize nothing I'm writing is good enough. I can't seem to hit on the right song.

Have you thought about what kind of song you want to write?

What kind of song? I want a song that's going to be the best song I've ever written in my career. Something that's sure to go viral.

I want it to be a song that will get me—I mean, get my voice recognized across the whole world.

I see. And what kind of school idol do you want to become, Mia?

I just…want to be recognized, you know? I don't really have this perfect picture of what kind of school idol I want to be.

If you don't have the perfect picture, how about singing something to help you figure it out? If you're worried about it, take the next step and see how it looks from there.

Oh, but I'm the one who wanted to watch you having fun while performing… Sorry, forget what I said.

Hey, did Rina tell you the reason that I haven't sung by myself for so long?

Huh? There was an actual reason behind it? Sorry, I never asked her about it in detail.

Well, I'd better tell you about it then. So…

[Fade in/out.]

Oh, so that's why.

I want to take up the challenge again as a member of the Taylor family. I want to give it another go. But to do that, I need the perfect song for my performance.

I see. I'm glad that you told me more about your relationship with music. If there's anything that I can do to help, please let me know.

I've come up with a lot of different styles for the practice schedule, so I'll show you the list. And then… Oh, I know.

If there are ever any days where I catch you frowning like that again, let's play some games together. Just watching me play made you laugh before, right?

Yeah, it was a ton of fun. I can't believe you didn't win a single round, Little Baby.

I still had fun all the same! Even though I wasn't very good at it, just playing the game got me excited.

…………

But…did you mean what you said earlier? About wanting to watch me perform?

Yeah, of course I did! I really want to watch your performance! I'll never ever forget how excited I was when I first watched you!

You looked like you were having so much fun…and you were just so free.

Hmm…
