[ Briefly, she looks puzzled by the dip of his head, not familiar with the gesture... she just sort of, stands there like this 🧍‍♂️ in return, not holding out a hand, either. ]

You can call me "Lyric." I visited Shiawase earlier, but I must have missed you... Botan invited me.

[ And she gave them all a prezzie, so she'll have to look for the one she made for him, despite not knowing anything about him... don't mind as her eyes briefly flick to the door of her own room. ]

[memori3s]

Oh. Maybe I was asleep.

[ Honestly he spends a lot of time tucked away in his own room napping away.

Meanwhile, he pays no mind as she glances over at her room. ]

Are you friends with Botan?

[ He's not surprised to hear that she's already made some friends. Botan's a nice girl, if not a little prickly. ]

[tiebroken]

Um... I know her, we've talked a few times.

[ She's not sure she has reached the status of "friend," yet... the words are offered kindly, though — it's obvious her opinion of Botan is a positive one. ]

We're both singers, so we connected over that.

[memori3s]

[ Unlike Mizi, Minato's standards for "becoming friends" with someone is on the floor. Maybe even underground. ]

Yes, Botan's shown me some of her songs.

[ There's a newfound curiosity in the way he watches Mizi now. ]

Do you like music too...?

[tiebroken]

[ She gives a tentative nod, drawing a hand against her chest. ]

...I do.

[ That's still true... no matter the circumstances under which she learned about it. ]

Are you also a musician?

[memori3s]

[ Not professionally, and not seriously, but... ]

I know how to play little bit.

[ Knows how to play plenty, actually. Give him a violin or show him a piano, and he seems to lock right in with either instrument, as if they'd become an extension of his own body. ]

It's too bad the music room is locked.

[tiebroken]

Mm, it's too bad... but, you can make music anywhere if you try.

[ It doesn't need to be in a special room... access to instruments would be nice, of course, for those among them that can play. But singing together with others in the grass or just while relaxing is just as nice as being in an official practice room, she thinks. ]

If you want, you should come sing with me and the girls in Shiawase. Um, I've heard you're all pretty close...

[ So it should be a fine outing, right? She's the one that's the outsider. ]

[memori3s]

[ Singing... It's something he hasn't done with others, but he has done plenty of karaoke in his past. ]

...oh.

[ Now who's out there telling everyone all of Shiawase is buddy-buddy... ]

...I guess we are. Everyone's been nice so far.

[ He's never really thought about it, but they all do generally get along. ]

Is that not the case for Yakuyoke?

[tiebroken]

I don't know about how the others feel, but... [ a beat. ] Yeah. Everyone's nice so far.

[ She repeats the phrasing he'd used. ]

I don't know what counts as "close" for them, really, [ or even Shiawase, to be honest, ] But they're good people... everyone cares about protecting each other.

[memori3s]

[ Then that's what matters, isn't it? ]

That's good. In a place like this, it's best if everyone gets along.

[ Fending off the spooks is challenging enough. Conflict within one's classes only makes that task more difficult. ]
