[ Anxiety is something Yuri is very familiar with, so it's strange when she feels it when she doesn't feel anxious at all... until she realizes that it must be coming from Kazuki. She shakes her head no. ]

Not at all. Is that a guitar...?

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, it was in the locker with my other stuff. Weird what they let us all keep, isn't it? But I'm not mad about it.

[ just a little nervous about messing up in front of other people nbd ]

[applebough]

I hope it's comforting as a little piece of familiarity from your home. Could I sit and listen? If it isn't much trouble.

[teenrebellion]

It is. And it means I can keep practicing while we're here, so no worries about getting rusty.

And sure, I don't mind. I'd there a certain kind of music you like, or...?

[applebough]

I don't have much of a music taste, so I'm open to hearing all kinds. However, I'd like something that doesn't typically sound like a classical piano piece...

[teenrebellion]

Ah.

[ a flicker of disappointment there, but he perks right back up immediately. ]

Well, luckily for you, I don't really play classical. I'm more of a rock guy.

[applebough]

[ There is very evident confusion on her face. ]

I'm sorry, did you want to play classical music...?

[ that's what he was disappointed over, right?? despite how he just said that he doesn't play classical?? ]

[teenrebellion]

[ well now he's confused ]

No...? Like I said, classical music isn't my thing. It's not bad, just not my favorite.

[applebough]

[ Yuri honestly doesn't need emotionsharing to know if someone is disappointed by her... ]

But didn't you just feel disappointed?

[teenrebellion]

Oh. That's...

[ embarrassing... he probably shouldn't have let that slip. ]

It's just that I've been learning that most of you don't know much about music, so I don't really have anyone to talk to about that stuff. That's all.

[applebough]

[ he can be forgiven for being a normie

Yuri tries thinking hard. Hm... was there anyone who seemed to be into music here that Kazuki could talk to about music? ]

How about Rosamund? She seems musically inclined.

[teenrebellion]

Oh, yeah, I heard her singing the other day. She's not bad. I don't know if it's a priority for her, though - princesses have other stuff to worry about, don't they?

[applebough]

Don't we all?

[ Yuri tilts her head. Genuinely. Music can be a top priority for someone? Imagine the luxury. ]

I'm sure people are passionate about it regardless of priority...

[teenrebellion]

[ he has mixed feelings about that. ]

Depends on how you look at it. It's a big deal for me.

[applebough]

[ Yuri slightly tilts her head.

Do you want to elaborate, Kazuki? ]

[teenrebellion]

[ raises an eyebrow. ]

I'm a musician. Going to be a pro after I graduate.

[applebough]

Oh.

[ For some reason, she couldn't understand it earlier. ]

That's nice... to be passionate about something that you want to invest in. Has it been something you wanted to do for a long time?

[teenrebellion]

Since I was twelve, so it's been a while.

...Don't you have anything you're passionate about?

[applebough]

... No.

[ Gloomy. ]

I had to give up on anything that seemed like a luxury.

[teenrebellion]

[ ...oh. wow, that's depressing. ]

But why?

[applebough]

[ How should she explain this... she's thinking about this so hard. Luckily, it's not spilling out to be freely broadcasted. ]

I could barely make the ends meet for myself, so I didn't really have the time or money. Now that I suddenly have a lot of time, I sometimes feel at a loss of what to do.

[teenrebellion]

Ah.

[ he's trying to rein it in, but there's sympathy in emotionshare. ]

Sorry, I didn't mean to dredge up something like that. [ ... ] But it does give you the chance to figure out what you'd want to do, doesn't it? Even if it's just for two months.

[applebough]

It's fine. After all, I don't plan on returning.

[ This is probably the most she's ever sounded confident and so sure. ]

[teenrebellion]

Are you just going to stay on the ship, then?

[applebough]

Most likely, but I don't know what the future holds. The senior members said that I could stay past the 8 weeks if I wanted.
