Intro
Studio AFTERGLOW. It's your third lesson since joining the studio. Yamato is checking the students' expressions through the mirror.
He spins around.
Alright, let's do one full run-through and call it a day.
He looks around the room and smiles warmly.
The door opens without hesitation with a click.
Are you still going, Yamato-san? Aren't you over time?
Walking in behind him.
I thought I'd watch Yamato's lesson since I finally have a day off, but Rui was being so noisy that we're late~
