I attended a tea ceremony with my acquaintances, Togetsu Rei and Kasuga Haruna. We chatted a lot during this time, and we were also enjoying some traditional Japanese tea and some traditional sweets. We had a perfect time.
Rei: "Umm, if I may ask, are both of you free next Sunday?"
Haruna: "I'm sorry, but I have another plan that day."
Yukiko: "I'm free. What's wrong, Rei?"
Rei then took out four tickets to a doll exhibition.
Rei: "Would you mind accepting these?" she said as she gave me those tickets.
Yukiko: "Are you sure?"
Rei: "Yes. I was supposed to come with my family next Sunday, but there was a sudden change of plan, and I don't want the tickets to go to waste."
Yukiko: "I see..." I said with a smile and closed eyes as I received the tickets.
Yukiko: "I'll gladly accept it then. Thank you, Rei."
Haruna: "A doll exhibition? That would be interesting to see. I do hope I can go there with Miyu-san and the other."
My face became unconsciously sour when I heard her name, and Kasuga-san realized that.
Haruna: "Nakamura-san... Please don't give that face when I mention her..."
Yukiko: "Ah, my apologies, you know it's just... Nevermind..."
Yukiko: *thought* ("Gahh, damn it... I can't believe I just let my personal feelings get ahead of me just now, I need to keep my cool.")
I managed to regain the fun atmosphere. We had a good time chatting and sharing our recent experiences.

I had a voice call session with Nightcord. We discussed a lot of things including our new song and how will we do our next performance, and I decided to bring up about the tickets for a doll exhibition I got from Rei.
Yukiko: "Hey, guys, are you free next Sunday?"
Hina: "I'm free, I don't have anything to do that day."
Sakura: "I have cram school that day... Nah, I just skip it."
Hikari: "I'm also free, need anything from us?"
Yukiko: "Well, I got four tickets for a doll exhibition next Sunday. And I was wondering, do you guys want to go there with me?"
Hina: "Oh, a doll exhibition? That sounds interesting!"
Hikari: "Sure, I'm in. We might get new inspiration for our song."
Sakura: "Me too, I might get a new inspiration for my new art."
