Too long the Red Team have endured the exams. The past weeks made them too focused on studying and practicing magic spells. Finally, after countless nights of reviewing, hours spent on studying and days writing down notes, the Red Team are victorious as they gained their desired scores. Even Akko managed to surprise everyone that she gained acceptable scores. They now find themselves in their dorm room, relaxing and resting.

Akko: Finally! The exams are done! I don't think I can last a day studying again!

Lotte: (Sighs) Atleast we get a two week off to rest.

Sucy: But I'm surprise Akko got passing scores...

Akko: Hey, I can study you know!

Lotte: (Giggles) Really, you did well Akko. I'm proud of you.

Akko: (Smiles) Thanks, Lotte!

Sucy: Say, you guys wanna listen to the radio again?

Akko: Sure thing! It's been so long since we've listen to it.

Lotte: I'll go pick a song for us. Hopefully, it's more lighthearted than the last one.

As the finnish girl turns on the speaker, she scrolls down onto the hologram, looking for a song to listen to.

Sucy: You know, I'm surprised that Eleanor didn't tell the professors about the speaker we have here.

Akko: Well she did kept her word so we have nothing to worry about!

Sucy: Right... hey Lotte, you found one yet?

Lotte: I did! It's titled House of Memories.

Akko: (Confused) Eh? House of Memories? That sounds ominous.

Sucy: And its sure doesn't sound like a happy song.

Lotte: But I'm kinda curious about it right now. We should listen to it.

Akko: Then what are we waiting for? Play it!

Lotte: Here goes...

The music starts in a somber yet somewhat upbeat music.

Sucy: Yup, this isn't a happy song...

Akko: Aww... don't ruin the mood!

Speaker: If you're a lover, you should know,
The lonely moments just get lonelier.
The longer you're in love,
Than if you were alone.
Memories turn into daydreams,
Become a taboo.

Lotte: (Surprised) Eh? That's a bit sad.

Akko: Is this a break-up song?

Speaker: I don't want to be afraid,
The deeper that I go.
It takes my breath away,
Soft hearts electric souls.
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes
Is this taboo?

Akko: Okay, now I'm feeling a bit sad about it.

Sucy: But I like this one...

Lotte: I wonder what it means...

Speaker: Baby we built this house,
On memories.
Take my picture now,
Shake it till you see it.
And when your fantasies,
Become your legacy.
Promise me a place,
In your house of memories.

Akko: Oh god... I think it's a relationship that's over...

Lotte: (Surprised) Wait, really?

Sucy: She's right, the lyrics always mention about being lonely after an end of a relationship because it hurts more now your lover is gone. Whether they left him or they tragically died...

Lotte: (Saddened) That's... heartbreaking...

Speaker: I think of you from time to time,
More than I thought I would.
You were just too kind,
And I was too young to know.
That's all that really matters,
I was a fool...

Akko: (Saddened) Why do I feel like I'm about to cry...

Lotte: (Hugs Akko) It's alright, Akko...

Speaker: Baby we built this house,
On memories.
Take my picture now,
Shake it till you see it.
And when your fantasies,
Become your legacy.
Promise me a place,
In your house of memories.

Sucy: Hmm... whoever the singer is, he knows how to make somber songs like this...

Akko: And why does it had to be so damn good?! It's so sad yet I can't help myself listen to it more!

Lotte: Akko, it let's the singer express more freely. You know how I sing for the spirits, right?

Akko: Yeah, I know...

Speaker: Those thoughts of past lovers,
They'll always haunt me.
I wish I could believe,
You'd never wrong me.
Then will you remember,
Me in the same way.
As I remember you...

Akko: (More saddened) Of course seeing other people in relationships hurt the most! It's just putting salt on an open wound!

Sucy: It hurts and makes you feel envious because you can't have that same feeling anymore...

Speaker: Baby we built this house,
On memories.
Take my picture now,
Shake it till you see it.
And when your fantasies,
Become your legacy.
Promise me a place...

Baby we built this house,
On memories.
Take my picture now,
Shake it till you see it.
And when your fantasies,
Become your legacy.
Promise me a place,
In your house of memories.

Lotte: (Saddened) I feel bad for the singer, he sounds like he's going to a rough time in his life...

Akko: (Saddened) I hope he gets help and becomes better soon...

Sucy: You know it's not that easy, right?

Akko: I know, but still! I just hope he gets well soon...

Speaker: In your house of memories.

Promise me a place...

The song finally ends.

Lotte: Wow, that was so... gut wrenching yet so beautiful...

Akko: Yeah, I know it's sad but I like it. very much...

Sucy: And the message stating that we build a house full of those memories is sweet I guess...

Akko: Eh?

Sucy: (Sighs) Figuratively, not literally...

Akko: Oh! I get it now, thanks Sucy!

Sucy: Whatever...

Lotte: (Chuckling) You two never change, do you?

Akko: Never ever!

Sucy: Same here...
