Hm? What's a piano doing over there?

I believe it's a street piano.

Hey, Riko, would yo—

No.

Huh?! I wasn't even done asking!

I know you. You were about to ask me if I would go play something on it, weren't you?

Yeah, you got me there. But come on, please. I really want to watch you play!

It's sweet of you to say that, but I just don't know… All the street piano performers I've seen are so good…

Yeah, and you're great too! Besides, I love how you play the piano. It always makes me feel so nice and calm.

I'm sure there must be tons of people who can play well but have no idea yet.

That's why I want everyone else here to hear you too. Come on, give it a shot. Just play a few bars.

Goodness, I can't say no to such a passionate approach. Fine, I'll play just a little.

Oh, I know this song!

*Giggle* You once mentioned you liked it, no?

Yay, I'm glad you remembered!

Of course I did. I'll play your favorite song for you now. Please enjoy.

[Fade in/out.]

Ah… That was fun.

Great job! Bravo! My heart skipped a beat hearing you play.

And you attracted a whole crowd of other shoppers who stopped to listen. You're incredible!

Thank you. I'm a little bashful, but I'm glad everyone listened to me. *Giggle* Thanks again.

For what? I didn't do anything.

Well, I only played because you asked, no?

Had I been alone, I'm sure I would have been too shy and walked right on past.

But since you were here, I got to see how fun it is to play the piano in public. Thank you very much.

I should be the one thanking you. You did me a favor, after all. I'll never forget this performance!

*Giggle* Stop, you're making too much of it. Say, I want to hear you play the street piano too. I'll have to ask the next time we bump into one.
