The two girls sat in a spacious room, with large ceiling to floor windows on the right and left sides. The evening light fell on the piano where Kaede sat, singing lightly as she practiced a new song. Miu was sitting on a couch nearby, watching her friend mesmerized and unknowingly smiling and blushing. Her heart sank inside and Iruma was afraid to take a breath.

Realizing what she had done, she abruptly pulled away from her friend and hurriedly apologized to her.
