Before Band Practice

YunoAll right... Everything's set.

AraleStaaaaare...

Yuno...

AraleStaaaaaaaaare...

YunoWhat is it...?

AraleTh-The thing is... I've kind of... sort of... been wanting to ask you something for a while~

YunoAsk me what?

AraleIt's about "Night of the Seagulls."

YunoYou mean "Night of the Seagulls," the theme song from "Nobishimo Chronicles"?

AraleExactly! It's the theme song to that legendary freeware game, and an absolute masterpiece by Yuno-san-chan!

YunoYou're way too close.

AraleThe way it ties so perfectly into the story and the world absolutely blew me away as a fan!

AraleAnd every musical choice reveals little glimpses of what the characters are feeling! You couldn't pull that off without truly understanding the game!

AraleWhat shook me most was the middle of the song! It captures that sudden, devastating turn when the party is torn apart so perfectly...

YunoDidn't you have something you wanted to ask?

AraleAh! S-S-S-Sorry! I got carried away...!

AraleI-I was just wonder-wondering how that masterpiece came to be~

YunoWhen I made that song...

AraleOnly whatever you're comfortable sharing!

YunoHmm...

YunoWhen I made "Night of the Seagulls," I'd only just started taking on work like that.

AraleWait, really?

YunoYeah. So it was pretty rough. I didn't have much experience yet.

Arale...

YunoI figured I could at least make up for my lack of skill by learning the game inside and out.

YunoI imagined what kind of music would play in that world, almost like I was traveling alongside the characters.

YunoI didn't want to miss a thing, so I unlocked every ending and collected every CG.

YunoAnd after that...

AraleUgh...

YunoWait... are you crying?

AraleYou make unlocking every route and collecting every CG sound like it was nothing...

AraleYour love for the game runs deeper than the Mariana Trench~~!

YunoI mean... it was my job. I had to do at least that much...

AraleEven so! That doesn't make it any less amazing!!

AraleThank you for bringing that song into the world... Ngh... I truly can't thank you enough...!!

Yuno(I don't think I did anything that amazing, though.)

Yuno(Still... if it means this much to her...)

YunoThanks...
