    with dissolve

    n "We made a bet to see whose name you’d say first. I’m not sure we would have if we knew it was going to result in one of us dying, but hey. A bet’s a bet."
    s "What an exciting and productive use of your time. I completely understand why you came directly to my office after school now and not to...whichever room the light music club practices in."
    r "Noriko and I are taking the day off. No practice for us, Sensei."
    n "Well...it’s less “taking the day off” and more “giving Otoha some time alone with Sana.”"
    r "Non-sexual time, of course. I made sure to check. You never know what kind of tricks Sana might be hiding up her sleeves."
    s "And why exactly does Otoha need time alone with Sana?"
    n "Sana’s still really weak when it comes to drums and Otoha has a fair bit of experience, so we’re dedicating today to some one-on-one training."
    r "But mostly because we’d probably just get in the way and Otoha needs to focus when she’s doing stuff like that."
    r "Also, it’s not {i}really{/i} one-on-one since Chika is there..but still."
    s "Interesting that Chika stayed behind if the two of you decided to abstain. Seems like she’s a lot closer to you two than either of them."

    scene rikacomesearly5
    with dissolve

    r "We’re really only “abstaining” because we’ve already been yelled at once- the {i}last{/i} time Otoha tried to help Sana."
    r "Us being here is what’s safest for everyone right now."
    n "Just hope Chika doesn’t wind up getting on her nerves. I’m not sure how Otoha feels about someone just looming in the background, but that would make {i}me{/i} feel weird as hell if I was the one tutoring."

    scene rikacomesearly6
    with dissolve

    r "Chika will be totally fine. She’s good at reading people. "
    r "Well...not good enough to realize when someone she’s close to has a crush on her. But, hey. Same. "
    s "I’d be worried about Sana if anything. She doesn’t exactly shine in social situations. Let alone social situations with girls she hasn’t spoken to much."

    o "Sana, chill. It’s fine to play a little slower when you’re just starting out. "
    o "Just focus on keeping a steady rhythm going and add speed once you’re more comfortable with how everything feels. "
    o "If you keep trying to act like Travis Barker, you’re gonna burn yourself out and never want to play again."
    sa "Travis...who?..."
    o "Just...some guy who plays too fast. Don’t worry about it. "
    o "Fact is, you’re really not bad. A lot better than I expected you to be at least. It’s clear you’ve got some understanding of music and, in time, I’m sure you’ll be solid."

    c "I obviously can’t speak for Sana, but I can’t bring myself to get excited hearing “click...click...click” over and over."
    o "Well, it’s a good thing you’re not the one playing then."

    o "Rin is? No way. She’s been gung-ho about getting me to meet you and your partner for months now. "

    scene rikacomesearly19

    s "Stop trying to convert me, Noriko. I get enough of that out of Yasu."
    n "There’s a difference between conversion and education, Sensei. "
    n "All I’m doing is providing information that {i}you{/i} can use to make your {i}own{/i} decision. I’d never judge you for having a different opinion than me."
    s "That’s weird because your sister judges me for having literally any opinion at all."
    n "Yeah, that’s just her archetype. I’m the exact opposite. I would {i}never{/i} be mean to you because I’m worried it would impede the amount of time I am able to spend in your presence."
    s "Stop liking me so much. It’s scary."
    n "Never."

    scene rikacomesearly22

    scene rikacomesearly26
    with dissolve

    n "Probably. But you can take solace in knowing that I’d kick myself for it while rubbing one out later."
    n "But, undying desire to be with you under only the most perfect of circumstances aside, what do you wanna talk about now that we’re alone?"
    n "Halloween’s coming up. You going to dress up this year?"
    s "Do I really look like the type of person to dress up for Halloween?"
    n "You look like the type of person {i}I{/i} want to dress up for Halloween."
    s "I’m a little more interested in what you’ll be wearing. Going to raid your sister’s closet and then beg for me to finger you again?"

    scene rikacomesearly27

    n "Hey, that’s mean. I was going through some shit back then. Granted, I’m going through some shit right now as well. But I was going through shit back then too."

    scene rikacomesearly28

    n "But no. I’m hoping to make it through the entire holiday this year without trying to force something to happen between us. Which allows me to perfectly segue into the reason for all of that- my darling sister."
    s "What about her?"
    n "How are things with you two?"
    s "What do you mean?"
    n "You know exactly what I mean. I want to know if you guys are in love again yet. "
    s "I’m sure Niki will waste no time at all in telling you if we are."
    n "She already talks about you all the time. The only side I don’t fully understand is yours. "
    n "Are you, like...waiting for something? Because I could have sworn her letters would have been the nail in your coffin."
    s "I don’t want to talk about this with you, Noriko."
    n "Is it because I’m around the same age she was when she used to give you blowjobs under the blanket on our living room couch?"
    s "It’s because the only relationship I want to talk about with you is the one that {i}we{/i} have."
    s "Not the one I have with some other Nakayama who apparently used to give me blowjobs under the blanket on your living room couch."
    n "Sounds like they were pretty bad blowjobs if you can’t even remember. I promise to work a little harder and make mine memorable once I’m done with all of this self-sacrificing."
    s "Uh-huh. And when will that be?"
    n "Sometime after Halloween, hopefully."

    ri "Anyway, I’m still unemployed technically, but I know my way around instruments. "
