As soon as Suguru shuts up and starts playing, Satoru's attention focuses. She sits forward, legs crossed, and asks a couple of questions in between sections, making Suguru replay a couple of bars, mind already working on it like a problem to be solved.
"No, that's wrong." Satoru grabs for the guitar without asking, expecting that Suguru will just let her take it. Her eyes unfocus while she plucks a couple of riffs on the guitar, testing note patterns in an order that only makes sense within her head, then plays through the melody again for that section with an adjustment. Stops midway, tests another couple of notes, then starts again from the beginning of the section. Satisfied with the adjustment, she jerks her chin toward Suguru without looking up at her, a wordless cue for Suguru to sing this time.
Satoru defaults to a keyboard when she writes and if she plays onstage, but she can pick up just about any instrument with competence, and she's used to guitars. (Especially Suguru's guitars.) Her fingers pluck the strings easily, providing the adjusted accompaniment. "No, go up there," she corrects, interrupting, sings the line to demonstrate what she has in mind. Plays it again as Suguru echoes her suggestion, again as Suguru tries a couple different variations on it until one rings true and Satoru nods, starting the section again from the beginning, then starting the song from the beginning. "It needs to be mirrored through," she says, adjusting the couple of spots that her mind has already flagged as the right places for the modified strain. Once Suguru properly understands the additional suggested edits, Satoru hands the guitar back to her so they can start actually working on Satoru's role in the song.
