Riko #662: Our Hearts, United

Player

Sorry I'm late.

Riko

Don't worry. I only just arrived as well.

Riko

Now then. Why don't we hurry and begin our piano four-hands practice?

Player

Okay!

[Fade in/out.]

Riko

…………

Player

Phew. We managed to play it properly…

Riko

Amazing! You've improved so much.

Player

You really think so?

Riko

Yes. Has something happened these past few days?

Player

Nothing's changed. Except that I've been practicing whenever I have time.

Riko

Really?

Player

Really. There's no other way to get good at piano, right?

Riko

That is also true. You've simply improved so much that I was taken aback.

Player

It makes me really happy to hear you say that.

Option 1: “It's thanks to your advice.”

Player

All of it is thanks to your advice, Riko.

Player

You taught me a bunch of things the other day, right? I made sure to work hard to make my body remember what you taught me.

Riko

They say that being true to yourself is the fastest road to improvement. But you've truly surprised me.

Riko

I'll be honest. I'm almost envious.

Player

What are you saying? I'm still no match for you, Riko.

Riko

Being able to say things like that is also one of your admirable points.

Option 2: “It's because you praise me that I can try my best.”

Player

It's because you're always praising me that I feel like I can keep trying my best, Riko.

Riko

I only praise you because you're truly trying your best.

Riko

Take today. To improve this much in such a short time would normally be impossible.

Player

Look! You're praising me again. That's why I feel like I have to try harder and harder.

Player

Playing piano with you is so fun, Riko.

Player

Hey. Can we try and play it again?

Riko

*Giggle* I was thinking the same thing.

Riko

If we synchronize then I feel like we'll be able to understand each other even better.

Player

Okay. Let's start from the top.

Riko

Yes. Let's begin!
