The sea breeze feels pretty great.

Seriously. With such amazing weather, it's the perfect day for a walk.

Sorry about forcing you to come out with me on a whim, You.

No way. I'm always ready to go on a walk along the beach with you.

In fact, y'know when you asked me if I was free today? My heart started racing. I was like, is she gonna confess that she likes me?!

Hey, what are you even saying? There's no reason that I'd do that.

*Giggle* I was just joking.

Anyway, was there any particular reason you wanted to see the ocean?

Not really.

Okay. If there's anything that you're worried about, though, I'm more than willing to listen.

It's nothing like that. I'm trying to work out the vision for our new song, that's all.

Remember how we all got locked up in Nijigasaki recently when it rained?

That experience gave me an idea. I thought that maybe I could write a song with a water motif, using things like rain and the ocean.

I see!

The ocean is a good fit. I feel mellowed out just from hearing the sound of the waves.

It's a perfect place to think things through.

It sure is! I love the ocean as well.

Write up a wonderful song, okay, Maki?

Thanks. I will. You'll be the first one to know once I finish it.
