P-Stay Dorm - Living Room

YomogiOh!

YomogiUuugh, I messed up at the same part again...! No matter how many times I try, I just can't get it right...

RaikaHey, I'm home~! Huh, just you, Yomogi?

YomogiWelcome home... Sorry, the only one here to welcome you is a wimpy little nobody like me...

RaikaOhh, you're extra mopey today. What's wrong?

YomogiW-Well...

RaikaOh? You were playing bass!

YomogiAh, I-I was just finishing up, so I'll put it away right now. I can't let you listen to something so awful...!

RaikaWait, wait! Let me hear it before you put it away!

YomogiNo, no, no! I can't let you hear iiit!!

YomogiI've never once managed to play it through without making a mistake, and my fingers hurt so much that I'm making even more mistakes...!

YomogiI'm a hopeless nobody with weak hands and an even weaker heart... I'll be the band's dead weight before I know it... Uuugh...

RaikaI see. Let me see your fingers.

YomogiEeeek!! You can't just touch me out of nowhere! It's bad for my heart!

RaikaOh, sorry. Are the pads of your fingers all soft and squishy?

YomogiHuh? Oh, yes. That's what hurts...

RaikaI know, it hurts, right~? Mine did too when I first started playing guitar.

YomogiYou too, Raika-san?

RaikaYeah, everybody goes through it! Bass strings are thicker, so it's even tougher for you, right?

RaikaWhen Granny and others taught me bass, the notes would go all bwoing~ if I didn't press the strings down right.

YomogiYes, exactly! Since it hurts, I can't press down properly either... I'm just so...

RaikaThat's amazing, Yomogi~! You've been working so hard!

YomogiHuh?

RaikaYou've only been playing bass for a little while, but you've gotten so good already! I was just thinking how amazing that is~

RaikaThat's because you've been working so hard, bit by bit, Yomogi!

YomogiDoes that mean... I'm playing okay, at least...?

RaikaYou are, you are! Your bass has so much soul, Yomogi. It's so cool!

RaikaI love your bass playing, Yomogi!

YomogiR-Raika-san...

RaikaSo no more moping! Let's keep building up the phrases you can play, one by one!

YomogiYes! I feel like I could even play that part I've messed up a million times now!!

RaikaOoh! Yomogi's "I can do it" energy is back!

RaikaYomogi, play the part you were practicing! Nail it!

YomogiAll right then! Yomogi Yakura, here I gooooo!!

YomogiNngh!!

YomogiOooow, that hurts!!

RaikaAh, right! You told me it hurt. I'm sorry!

YomogiT-The skin peeled off...!! Uuugh, it stings and tingles...!

RaikaThis is serious! We have to get you to the hospital!! Yomogi, get on my back. I'll give you a piggyback ride!

YomogiThe hospital!? For one little patch of skin!?

RaikaWe're Family, so I have to protect your precious fingers! Come on, piggyback!

YomogiNo trip to the hospital and no piggyback ride, pleeease!!
