I want to know more about the worlds that everyone left behind.

Like what countries there are, what they look like, what's different from here. It's such a waste of opportunity not to learn about other worlds, you know? As long as I'm going to be stuck here, I'd like to stretch my imagination and learn something new.

I, for one, just came from Japan. Yokohama City, to be exact. I wouldn't be surprised if more of you are from Yokohama... Oh~ But imagine if we're all from alternate Yokohama Cities. That would be interesting as well.

Anyway~. Tell me about your homes, please. And where are my manners? My name is Lucy Montgomery. A pleasure.

I... I knew that. [She means 'thank you.']

That's really sweet. So in a way, the band is kind of like your thanks for the guitar, huh? You must really love music.

[restringing]

I do. And my band.

[This would be so much easier to express through text, where he'd have the luxury of taking ample time to think every word through before responding. But given that it's video, he simply stares wide-eyed at the screen, trying to decide how to best express what he wants to say.]

It's... a gift from someone who I can't ever see again. But because of that... I met Uenoyama-kun, and learned to express myself through music. It's important to me.

[depthsofdespair]

[She can tell that he's trying to express some very important feelings. Giving him some time, warming her smile to be encouraging... Then sighing.]

To be honest, I'm really jealous. I never had anyone important to me and never got any gifts. Everything I have, I had to get for myself. I don't even have any hobbies to be passionate about.

You're really lucky.

[restringing]

[That smile alone sets him somewhat at ease, though his expression doesn't actually change. Jealous... In a way, that's a familiar feeling.]

Mmn... I didn't have a hobby before music. And I always had the same small friend group until I met Uenoyama-kun.

But I think... You shouldn't give up yet. On finding someone important.

[He isn't saying it outright, but they're friends too, aren't they?]

[depthsofdespair]

[You've activated her tsun trap card! Or was the trap activated on Lucy? Because she just thought about Atsushi, about working at that Cafe to be near him, and about the Cafe owners who are teaching her to brew coffee and make tea.

Two hobbies, albeit not to the level of dedication as Mafuyu's guitar, found because of important people.

How disgustingly lovely.]

Well. I won't need anyone's help with a hobby. And when I find out, I'll be sure to show it off to you. As a 'thank you' for the live show invitation.

[restringing]

[Didn't she say like three seconds ago that she doesn't have a hobby--]

Mm. I want to hear about it when you do.

[Tsundere or not, Lucy seems better at expressing her feelings than Mafuyu, so he has faith she'll find both friends and a hobby.]

And I'll introduce you to the other members too.
