[spiritoso]

I feel really lucky too, having so many people I can count on right now.

[ She smiles before glancing over at him and realizing he's crying. She stands up, walking over to him. ]

Ah, I didn't mean to make you cry!

[steadycourse]

[He rubs his eyes even more, but he just can't help it...]

I-it's not your fault! Well, it is, but in a good way! Ngh, I'm sorry Kaede...

[spiritoso]

You don't need to apologize, really!

[ She's not sure what to do though. ]

Should I play another song or something?

[steadycourse]

[He still feels bad for ruining the moment, but maybe playing another song will help right now! Plus...]

If you want to! I'd be happy to hear another song from you!

[Even if her talent belonged to her past self, it's still amazing-- and so is Kaede.]

[spiritoso]

Sure! I'd love to play something else for you!

[ And she moves into another song, a little more chaotic than the first one but still somewhat relaxing. ]

[steadycourse]

[As she starts playing a new song, Ishida rubs his eyes a couple more times, but he's starting to look better now at least. He's honestly entranced by the melody and how her hands are masterfully playing each key without any mistakes. So, is this truly what it means to be the SHSL of something...?

And he was a SHSL as well... so he could have a talent that's like this.

Even if he's still uncertain about the sort of person his past self was, it doesn't matter as long as he can use his talent for good. Maybe he'll have a talent that can make Kaede happy or inspire her, just like she's done for him.]

T-that was amazing as well, Kaede!

[spiritoso]

[ She turns around when she's done, giving him a slightly embarrassed smile. ]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked my playing enough to want another song.

[steadycourse]

[Ishida, in turn, only smiles encouragingly at her.]

Even if you didn't play well, I'd still listen! [Because then he can help her out in some way! Maybe at least... nonetheless!] But I'm wondering... are you going to join any clubs or play at events now because of your talent?

[spiritoso]

[ Her smile grows brighter at that! ]

I've thought about it. It'd be fun to play with other people, I think. But I'm a little nervous about performing... I've never done that before.

[steadycourse]

Playing in a group builds bonds! Learning how to synchronize together so that the music sounds correct... it's difficult, but rewarding I imagine!

[He doesn't plan on playing an instrument, but Ishida can still appreciate all of the hard work that goes into performances.]

If you're nervous... would it help if I attended your performances? I might not be able to play an instrument, but I can still be there for you, Kaede!

[spiritoso]

[ The offer surprises her a little, but it makes her happy. ]

I would like that a lot! I'll make sure to remind myself that you're there when I get nervous.

[steadycourse]

[A small flush begins to cover his cheeks. He's still not fully used to his presence actually being wanted outside of school and volunteer work, even though he's been with Kaede plenty of times now. Not to mention, the other students that came from their world...

Ngh, don't start crying again, Ishida!!]

I-I'm glad my presence is one of comfort and not anxiety! I-I'll even bring a sign to cheer you on!!

[spiritoso]

A sign might be hard for me to see, but I appreciate it!

[ She'll probably be so focused on the piano, she might not even think about it. Still... knowing he would do all of that to make her feel better warms her heart. ]

[steadycourse]

If there's anything you need, I'll bring it. Maybe a water bottle or your favorite snack at the very least!

[Maybe some flowers-- what is he thinking!! Would Kaede even want flowers from him? It's best if he brings something that would physically help!]

[spiritoso]

That would be great! You're really thoughtful, you know.

[ Which is no exaggeration! She thinks he really is. ]

[steadycourse]

[His face becomes flustered by that. H-he's not doing anything too extraordinary!! R-Really! Anyone would try their hardest to make Kaede smile.]

I-I'm your fellow officer! We should always do our best to support one another... that's the motto, hahaha...!

[Real smooth here.]

[spiritoso]

You're right!

Hey, I'll do the same thing if your talent is something like mine!

[steadycourse]

[Gosh, he's not surprised to hear that, but it's still comforting to know that Kaede is here for him as well. He just needs to figure out his talent! He has to try his hardest to find out, even if he remembers awful memories as well.

I-it's worth it...]

T-thank you! With your support, I know I'll be able handle it! I'll let you know when I remember what my talent actually is...

[spiritoso]

I bet it'll be something awesome!

[ It has to be!! ]

[steadycourse]

I hope so! A talent that can either help people or make them smile...

[Maybe he'll ask Naegi to help him with this. Or maybe Byakuya? He remembers Naegi telling him that he knows the titles of everyone in their class, so...]

[spiritoso]

That would be great!

[ That's the kind of talent she's here for! ]

Although, I think you do both already!

[steadycourse]

R-really? You think so?

[His face is turning red again. If there's one thing about Ishida, is that he'll never be able to control his face.]

Thank you-- I could say the same about you! You always make me smile!

[spiritoso]

[ That... makes her pause for a moment, embarrassed in a good way. ]

I'm glad I do! I'm happy to know I can make others happy too.

[steadycourse]

From the day we met, you've always been supportive and trying your hardest to make others happy! I know that the other people in the student leadership club would agree with me!

[Guess Ishida will make an impromptu speech about how much he admires her.]

In fact, I can ask everyone in our next club meeting!!

[spiritoso]

Ah, you really don't have to! That's a lot of effort!

[ The thought is also embarrassing, as much as it would be nice to hear everyone say... but she won't admit that. ]
