UNNAMED RECORDING 1:

"Did I say that right? Operation Get Muichiro to Fall in Love with Me will not fail. I won't allow it.

Or... just... don't answer. That's fine. Yeah, that's good. I can always interpret my own work. But it's kinda weird how you're asking me ro record this stuff? Is it for some sort of series or something?... Am I in a K-Drama? Or am I a secret voice actor? Or are you just a bunch of stalkers? I don't mind, really. But, if this does end up getting published somewhere, can I be like a cool side character? Please don't make me the hopelessly in love best friend. I would be humiliated. Who's this about? Kanao? Aoi? Nezuko?

Ack! Oh... it's you! Muichiro, right? Did you get called here too? To record? I'll get out of your way then."

(silence.)

"... She was the one who lent me a pencil."

UNNAMED RECORDING 2:

"I don't know if I feel comfortable saying everything that I think about Y/N. I mean... she's smart I guess. I've overheard how she talks to her friends. She's funny. I've seen her KNYGram, she's very pretty. Wait, you're not publishing this too, right?

Who's this even going to? What's the point of this? Did you only want to hear about the bet? Y'know, I have to go to the rollerskating rink with friends tomorrow. Am I supposed to tell you about that too?"

"Oh, hey!... Oh, Muichiro. Hi!... Haha... I'll just... wait outside."

"Dammit. I really needed to ask her something."

UNNAMED RECORDING 3:

"Let me insert the music disc, please! I promise it's a good song!"

"Zenitsu, for the last time. You're not allowed to play CPR here."

"Stop acting like you're so high-and-mighty just because you have Y/N!"

"For the last time, we're just friends for now."

"For now?! Mhm. Uhuh..."

"Zenitsu, if you don't get that damn disc away from the...!"

UNNAMED RECORDING 4:

"I'm kinda surprised that they brought me here so randomly. Is this where Muichiro is always going?"

"Jokes on you, I actually recorded something. You're just showing screenshots of chats or whatever..."

"Zenitsu, what did you record?"

"Oh, Tanjiro. Sweet, naive Tanjiro..."

UNNAMED RECORDING 5:

"This is so dumb. Y/N isn't even here either."

"Y/N usually comes here frequently after school. Maybe you'll catch her then, Genya?"

"I'm not even recording anything. This sucks ass."

"It's okay! Your input is still needed, probably."

"Thanks... Tanjiro..."

UNNAMED RECORDING 6:

"I... don't wanna be here... I feel sick. Muichiro hasn't been talking to me and I've been a mess! Is that what you wanna hear?! What's this shit even for anyway?! I'm gonna vomit all over this fancy recording equipment!

(faint sobbing)

Muichiro left me for Mae...

I can hear footsteps. That's probably him. Fuck this shit, I'm out."

UNNAMED RECORDING 7:

"I saw the email. Stop hinting at explicit shit. Something tells me lots of westerners are gonna be seeing this, and they're gonna call you people a bunch of pedos. Would you like that? Huh? Y/N and I barely did anything. We kissed. That's all. Gosh, is it so evil to share a bed with a friend?!

Oh, hey Y/N."

"Hey, Mui!"

"You're here to record too?"

"Yeah, I have to record a new thing that they requested. Something about a prologue?"

"Huh. Weird. They asked me to record that too."

"Huh. Weird... Wanna grab a bite afterwards?"

"Yeah."

UNNAMED RECORDING 8:

"Is this recording? Hello?"

"Mui, of course that isn't recording. The button isn't beeping."

"Damn. Weren't we supposed to do the next part of that weird series?"

"I have no clue. Wait, it's a series?"

"Sounds like one. The system is kinda buggy though. It wouldn't take any of the music discs I've been putting in. The one fun part of the system..."

"Me neither! Gosh, they really need to update their system. Do you know who else has been coming here to record?"

"Well, one time I saw Zenitsu come in... It was really short though."

"Maybe this is for like a school thing? Do you think Ms. Kanroji is behind it?"

"I wouldn't be surprised. A lot of the recordings I had to do were based on our relationship."

"That's because we're the best. Do you wanna come over for dinner?"

"Makomo has been dying to see you. She really liked when you came over last time and braided her hair. My place?"

"If you insist. Can we stop by at the convenience store though?"

"Oh shit, who the fuck is that?!"

"Y/N, get behind me!"

UNNAMED RECORDING 9:

"Mui, you're bleeding!"

"Just a scratch. I'll be fine. Who was that?"

"I don't know... they were wearing a mask. Were they supposed to come here? Please, let me take care of you. Why would you carelessly jump in front of me like that?!"

"Woah, careful with that medical tape. I didn't wanna see your pretty face get hurt."

"Just so yours could?"

"I would never forgive myself if I let anything happen to you. Not after that whole party incident."

"Again, I forgive you. I think we should get the hell out of here before they come back. Let's just go out to eat at that udon stall, okay?"

"Okay... I'll pay."

"No, I'm paying."

"I'm paying, and that's final."

"Mui, you can't keep paying for me... Did you just lick my hand?!"

"I'm paying."
