Light Academy Dormitory, room 2006
At the time when she wrote it, she didn't think she would one day be able to use it. After all, she wasn't a songwriter; she can't write songs even if she wants to be able to express her feelings more directly. But after spending time with Ari-chan, Yumeko found herself immediately rushing to the room back in the dorm and locking herself up.
This time around she…will do it. She can't compose music. But she's able to express her feelings in words. Even someone clumsy like her is able to do this much.

"Oh welcome back Mistress Lila--"
Lila shuts the door on the steward's face and immediately went to her desk, she rummages through some drawers and empties them until she found out. Her composing notebook from last year. Usually, she doesn't change composing notebooks so quickly. However last year a lot happened, and all the pages filled up quick. However, in the middle, there was a song she was not able to finish writing.
Since parting ways with Kiryu, it has been difficult for her to write anything, and she understands why. The main essence of her songs has always been love and the strong ties she has with other people. But ever since she came here, her mind has only been focused on Haruka. She has to help Haruka; she can't leave his side.
However, there's something equally as important to her. There's something that has always unsettled her, regarding Haruka and Yumeko's relationship, while she hasn't voiced it out up until now and just played the fool. After spending time with the girl, Lila understands it. There's a deep sadness in everyone's hearts even those with such bright lights around them. She wants to, be able to change that darkness. To make it brighter.

Asking her isn't going to be easy. However, Yumeko confidentially clutched the pink file carrying the papers. Alright, she can do this! If she's lucky, Ari-chan won't be with Haruka. Yumeko shook her head, no no, even if they are together. She has to say it. After walking for a few minutes Yumeko eventually found her, and indeed her friend was with Haruka. He had her backed against the window, and was kissing her.
"Nnmmgh..mnnngh...say Haruka...um..were in the middle of the hallway... "
"Where were you..last night?"
. . . Eh? Ari-chan didn't go back to Haruka's, wait no, she can ask about that later.
"E-excuse me Ari-chan."
Haruka heard her but continued.
That guy…
"Ari-chan, I want to sing this song with you!!"
She summoned all her courage and said it in one go.
Expecting to be turned down, she was surprised when the blue hair girl left Haruka's side. Appears in front of her and grabs hold of her hands. "Me too!"
"Eh?"
Her friend takes out a folder. "I wrote some music! And Yumeko-chan you wrote lyrics right?"
"Ah…"
Ehhhh? She's bewildered.
"Let's sing together!"
Oh. The two of them do look the same.

To those watching by, it looked like he was completely unreasonable. But to Lila, it's not like that. He knew that because she ran back over and hugged him, it surprised him. Since he's always been the one to take the initiative, "T-then I'll get going.."
"..Wait."
At that, the girly shyly averts her gaze but remained still. Haruka grabbed hold of her hand and brushes his lips against her neck, muttering only words that she would be able to hear.
"...En, I understand. Thank you."
................
"Hey hey, I heard about that girl pairing up with Kanehera. I'm surprised you're letting her."
"I don't give her commands."
"But aren't you her manager?"
".."
"And, normally you would make sure these girls never go near Kanehera Yumeko again."
Haruka exhales deeply, "I don't have all day.."
"What an impatient man, but …."Seira walked over now only in her undergarments as she climbed on top of him, "Everyone knows that girl is different…"
Which one?
Haruka almost asked.

When Lila returned to the practice room, she saw that the blonde hair girl had fallen asleep. She walked over to the blonde and put her jacket around her. Lila proceeded to clear up the girl's surroundings when she caught a glimpse of the girl's pink notebook wide open. Seeing her notes around the score sheets she gave her, Lila blinks and smiled softly. This person may be even more stubborn than her.
Since coming here, her singing is different; she's been having a hard time being able to breathe. It feels like the darkness is crushing her; it's turning against her. Something she always saw as beautiful. But when she is with Yumeko-chan, she can breathe slightly better.

They barely had time to practice; this move was risky and yet despite all the risks, here she is. It's been a while since she last stood on stage with someone. It felt foreign and almost uncomfortable.
However…
"Ari-chan, let's do our best!"
"Yes."
Being beside this person helps calm her down.

"Shall we make things sparkle☆
Shall we make things exciting☆
Shall we make things we love☆
I wake up in the morning as the Earths spins around
Like it did yesterday and will do today and tomorrow
The second hand on the clock also turns around
Which is a moment that even God didn't know..."
