The rooftop is washed in a dying orange light. Yuzu sits with his guitar silent, the strings untouched. Nino's apology hangs between them. He offers a thin, resigned smile—'I already knew.' The wind takes her murmured response. 'We should keep making music,' she suggests. He nods, feeling a quiet break inside him. Days pass. In the dim studio, you lowers yourself onto the couch beside him, the old weight still in the air. 'Stop thinking about her,' you say, not unkindly. 'Play.' He looks at you, startled, then down at the lyric pages you've placed in his lap. His voice is soft, tentative. 'Only if you sing with me.' From the ache, something new begins.
