Riko | Umm... Okay, do you have a song request? As long as it's something I can play. 1 |
Player | You can play whatever you want. You don't even have to play a song. |
Riko | What do you mean? 2 + |
Player | You can just hit a single key, or slam both your hands down on the keyboard! Or just hit whatever keys you feel like. |
Player | Of course, play something with a melody if you want. A real song, or just improvisation. |
Player | I just want to hear you play the piano freely. |
Riko | Freely... 3 |
Riko | Whew. 5 |
Player | That was amazing, Riko! |
Riko | Y-You think so? I honestly just played whatever came to mind. 6 |
Riko | It felt so good, though, and now my heart feels clear. I can't believe I actually just let my hands play without thinking. 7 |
Riko | It was like back when I first started playing. 8 |
Player | What you played wasn't a song, right? |
Riko | Yeah. I tried to improvise, but it came out all garbled. Sorry. 9 + |
Player | Don't worry about it. It was relaxing, but proper, a little touch and go, and exciting. |
Riko | Whoa, that's a lot of emotions for one song. 10 + |
Player | It felt like it was perfect for Aqours. |
Riko | What... 11 |
Player | You said yourself that the music you write isn't just for yourself. It felt like you were kind of sad when you said that. |
Player | You might have thought something only you enjoy wasn't good enough, but it's like you've been putting cutting yourself out of the picture. |
Player | I think it's important to know the members who sing your song and about the place everyone lives, but... |
Player | But you're part of Aqours, too. You live in Uchiura, too. I think you can put more of your own feelings into the music. |
Riko | I... You might be right. I think that I was leaving myself out of all this. 13 |
Riko | I guess I just don't have that many memories here. I feel like an outsider. 14 |
Riko | That's why I wanted to understand this place and everyone in it so thoroughly. I thought I had to. 15 |
Player | But even if you've only been here a short time, a hundred years couldn't dampen those feelings. |
Riko | Yes. I'm a member of Aqours. My heart is with Uchiura. ...So that's what my teacher meant. 16 |
Riko | Thanks. I feel like a tremendous weight has come off my shoulders. 17 |
Player | No problem. I hope I didn't come off as pretentious or anything. I'm glad you feel better, though. |
Riko | I think I can finally write a satisfying song. I'm going to go right home and see what I come up with! 18 |
