chapter 1

time: 1:47am

k: mafuyu, what have you got so far for lyrics?

yuki: i'll just send what i have *sends the lyrics*

amia: wow these aren't bad! i can see this in the song for sure! this a totally new side of mafuyu.

yuki: what do you mean.?

amia: ehhhhh.. it's a bit too hard to describe, i'll try to explain it to you later alright?

enanan: ... *intense scribbling noises*

Ena was rushing her demo for the newest song, Kanade was done producing the music, Mafuyu was finishing up the lyrics and Mizuki was done with the storyboard for the music video, which left Ena behind them, trying to finish the demo. The only thing that was heard over Ena's microphone was intense scribbling, scrunching up papers, and quiet groans from Ena. Yet she worked incredibly hard and used up as much effort as possible, not much was achieved, and hearing how far everyone was regarding the group's newest song did not help with her struggles. It felt like every time her art didn't turn out the way she wanted, hundreds of sharp, pointy pencils were thrown at her back, hitting bullseye every single time. 

**mizuki pov:**

i was just listening to Kanade and Mafuyu talk about the new song and taking guesses as to when it might be released, then it clicked: Ena hasn't said a thing since this call started. at that point i didn't think much of it, it takes a while to draw and get things the way you want, but some things picked up by her microphone sounded more aggressive than usual. i wasn't sure whether i should ask or not, so i kept my mouth shut. i know she's having a hard time with her demo, so we all better just let her work, she will get frustrated the later she finishes. i don't think she would like me to say anything anyways. I wonder how much Ena has got done, but if what we can hear from her mic is all we can take a guess from, then i'd say she doesn't have much at the moment and she just wants to finish. All me, Kanade, and Mafuyu can do is hope that she doesn't struggle too much with trying to finish, and hope she can get it done soon. I think that Ena is gonna stay up long after the Nightcord meeting has finished, she knows it's bad for her and we all know how much it sucks to even stay up this late, so i hope she doesn't. 

** 3rd person pov**

**after some time**

time: 2:59am

amia: alright guys, i'm off! i got to get up early so i'm gonna need that beauty sleep.

k: i'm gonna leave too, i'm really tired and i can barely keep my eyes open.

mafuyu: i'm gonna leave as well, i think i hear my mom awake and i don't wanna get caught, the last time i wasn't allowed to get on for two weeks

everyone: bye

The brown haired girl left the call and turned off her bright screen. A desk light was turned on and the work was continued. All Ena could do was keep on working nonstop with no breaks. Hours had passed and Ena was still pushing herself to finish that demo. She kept on throwing out the art which in her eyes "wasn't good enough" into her overflowing bin, and the frustrated tears she had kept in for so long had finally started streaming from her eyes. "Damn it," she wanted to scream, but she would rather save herself a lecture from her father. Her eyes could barely stay open and she kept on dozing off. She had to keep everything that was even half decent so she could at least have the mindset to keep on going. Eventually, her mind could barely make out what she was doing, and the pencil in her hand stopped moving and Ena's head made a bang onto the desk. Her head missed the work she had given everything for. Every ounce of effort that was left in her had been drained, and her body could physically not stay up any longer and had forced her to shut down. She had pushed herself too hard.
