"Yeah, you don't have to take whatever I end up with. It's your song and we fixed the issues with it. It's ready. I can step in on the support vocals no problem. If you keep it as is, I think don't make it a duet. It'd be fine. Boring. People will do covers of it as a duet and they'll be fine. It's stronger with a single voice. The sentiment is too strong, and if you just split it, traditional duet, it weakens it. Still boring either way, but it's a good song. I'll do echoes on the chorus, that's all it needs." Satoru shrugs, dismissing this as a done deal. "I'll write the experimental version tonight. Should take me an hour or two. It'll be an interesting exercise for me even if it ends up scrapped. Maybe I'll release it as a cover in a few years."

She waves a hand to dismiss that, a fun project that she assumes Suguru won't want. Moving on to the next item she wants to discuss. "Are you comfortable with your part in Infinity or did you want to workshop that at all?"

It's the biggest challenge item she'd tossed at Suguru out of the arrangements she'd sent over, and she's curious to see how Suguru will rise to it. Infinity is one of Satoru's big hits, but it's also one of her brightest, poppiest songs, the furthest from Suguru's style, and Satoru had given her a huge chunk of it for a duet. If Suguru leans too far into doing it Satoru's way, it'll weaken her part of the song and her personal brand. If she rebels too hard against the sound, it'll break the song.

Satoru gives her a smirk, inviting Suguru to ask for help.
