[Souji is sitting in a tea room, stringing a key on a blue string. Once it's on there safely, he puts the string around his neck and tucks it under his shirt.

Then he picks up the device to address the network.]

Have many people been to the beach today?

The beach? Why?

[masukukunai]

Um... sure. It'll be a little hard to hear without an amp, so listen close.

[Yousuke sets the comm down on some kind of surface, pointed at the ceiling. What he plays is basically a somewhat simplified version of Blackbird by the Beatles. Occasionally he'll mumble the lyrics without thinking.]

[He's good at it because he's practiced it to death-- it's that one song he always falls back on when he's having a hard time and forgets that, yes, he actually likes this instrument.]

[Souji does listen close and he smiles a little.]

It was good.

[masukukunai]

[Yousuke picks the comm back up, smiling.]

Thanks man. It's one I've practiced a lot though.

[eatsyourscience]

I could tell.

[masukukunai]

Compared to this, a key seems kinda like a gip.

[eatsyourscience]

Not to me.

[masukukunai]

Can it do anything here?

[eatsyourscience]

No. [But that's not the point.]

[masukukunai]

[Yousuke doesn't quite understand how much it means to souji, since that was a part of their adventure that no one shared with him.]

Well, if it makes you happy.

[eatsyourscience]

[He just smiles a little.]

Do you want to learn to read music?

[masukukunai]

I haven't needed to, really. But I guess it could come in handy.

[eatsyourscience]

I can help you.

[masukukunai]

You know how?

[eatsyourscience]

I was in the band.

[masukukunai]

...I don't think that means anything in our band.
