"Mmm. They seems... familiar, somehow."

"...What do you mean?"

"It's like- I know the melody, even though the words are strange."

Her brow furrows. "I've listened to this so many times, I don't think I could say if I've heard it somewhere else... Her music just sounds like – home. I think... I remember her interview in SEVENTEEN talked about where she got her inspiration from, something about a dream she had? But I'd need to check my issue to be sure what she said." Ami shakes her head. 

"Home... is a good word for it."

"Do you think there's something unusual going on?"

"It doesn't feel bad, I don't think."

Hmmm... "We should show all this to Luna. She might know something." Then, a bit more light heartedly: "We could watch the musical for our investigation, too."

"Definitely. It might contain vital clues. We should be thorough."

"Maybe even try to meet Aino Kinsei herself."

"A bold move."

"But it might be necessary. There's a signing at the debut, or even a backstage tour..."

"Sounds like we should look into buying tickets."

"I've been saving up my allowance... Actually getting tickets might be harder, though. They're expected to sell out."

"I can ask my mom."

"It might be our best option."

"I can do that tonight."

"Thanks. And we should get you a copy of the album before you head home, too, so Luna can listen."

"Good idea, that will also help explain my interest."

Excited grin! "I'll pack my Aino Kinsei articles tomorrow, too, we can go through them at the library together."

"All right."

"It's a date."

oh shit it is takarazuka revue is like real for serious date activities aaaaaaaaaa

Hopefully she's not blushing too much as she coughs and says only a little too quickly "If we're going to stop at a music store we should get moving soon."

"Alright... So long as you let me know tomorrow what you thought of the rest of the album." She starts packing up.

"I will compile a numbered list."
