[as you flip through, there's suddenly a messy stroke of really wet ink on the page of the journal, then the sound of someone picking it up and shaking it a little, making the ink run]

...Whoops. Maybe I shouldn't practice on the desk.

[and then he stupidly rubs it in hopes of getting it to dry faster, smearing ink all over the place]

Re--really?

[siebter]

Yeah! If you keep playing, you'll get even better, too!

[soccerwhisperer]

Maybe I should tell Aoi that so she'll let me join the music club instead.

[siebter]

You're not allowed to by yourself?

[soccerwhisperer]

Well... She's very protective of my health.

[siebter]

I don't think music is unhealthy! I bet it'd be fine!

[soccerwhisperer]

I hope so!

[siebter]

Me too! And you can play here whenever you want.

[soccerwhisperer]

I'll practice hard so I can get into the music club!

[siebter]

I bet you'll be really good at it!

[soccerwhisperer]

If I practice enough. Maybe I can be like the famous Shindou Takuto... He's a really good piano player in my school!

[siebter]

Yeah, maybe you can be! That'd be really neat, huh?

[soccerwhisperer]

Yeah, that would be.

[siebter]

You could be famous too!

[soccerwhisperer]

Hehe, I don't know about that!

[siebter]

Why not?

[soccerwhisperer]

Well... I don't really know! It just... doesn't feel right.

[siebter]

Hehe, that's okay. For now, you can just keep practicing!

[soccerwhisperer]

Yeah!

Do you know any more songs?

[siebter]

I don't know how easy they are, but I know other songs.

[soccerwhisperer]

I'd like to hear them!

[siebter]

[ The one he plays next is a bit slower. For reference. ]

[soccerwhisperer]

That was pretty... but also sounded a little sad.

[siebter]

I wrote it myself.

[soccerwhisperer]

Wow, really!? That's so cool!
