"You're going for the music, aren't you?" Suguru grins at her, rolling her eyes. It feels like old times. "Slow down. Get out of your head and feel it, don't try to analyze it. I'll send you a copy, but why don't we try an acapella version. Let me sing my portion, so it'll be awkward, but don't jump in yet."

They're in the green room, and other than the occasional aide coming in and setting something up, they're mostly alone. Suguru hums a few bars, then launches into the song, singing only her portion of the lyrics. When Satoru looks like she might try to sing, she lifts a finger to her lips.

She keeps her gaze on Satoru's face, watching to see if anything resonates. She puts in all the emotions she's felt about this song, including the new trepidation and the underlying insecurities that have come up because of this tour. It's the most intimate thing she's done, and when she's done, she looks away from Satoru, trying to hide the vulnerability on her face.
