There, all done.

I'm glad we have good weather for our trip.

[Fade in/out.]

Morning.

Good morning, Nico. Sorry, were we supposed to meet up here?

The forecast said it might rain. I'm glad it's sunny instead.

Y-Yeah, me too. But seriously, did we plan to meet here and I just forgot?

Relax, you didn't forget anything. We're just running into each other on the way. That happens all the time, right?

Maybe, but our routes don't intersect anywhere today. So you must have come here on purpose. That's what I'm asking about.

Ack. Am I busted?

You're just easy to see through.

Hey—are you trying to call me predictable?!

Well? What if I am?

No, it's just…

I was thinking about everything again, and I felt like maybe I'd done something bad to you.

What?

So I, y'know… I wanted to apologize before we set off on the trip. Or whatever!

That's what this was about? I don't really get it, but… What was it you were worried about?

Well… This whole thing started because we talked about shaking things up a bit so that you'd feel less stuck with your songwriting, right?

But then we ended up making you do so much stuff, like arranging the vacation house for us, and it's like we stole all the time you should've spent on the song…

And you're only just saying this now?

Yeah, I know it's late to bring it up. But I'm…sorry.

It's disconcerting to see you be this sincere about something.

Anyway, all of you came together to think of ways to help me re-energize myself. There's no need to apologize. I'm really grateful to you and the others.

So…thanks.

We'd better hurry or we're gonna be late. Shall we?

C'mon, Nico!

*Chuckle* Yeah. I promise to help you get all the refreshing you need on this trip. And then I bet you'll come up with an amazing melody.

Oh, I forgot to mention it, but…I actually finished the song already.

Whaaat?!

Making plans for the trip and shopping with everyone must have helped me get a refreshed mindset.

So let's enjoy the hillside as much as we possibly can, Nico!
