Her blue sapphire eyes stared at the paper in front of her. The left elbow propped on the low table while she rests her chin on her palm. Her right hand holding the mechanical pencil, tapping on the paper. She pinned her long brunette fringe to the side of her head, avoided it cover her sight. While her mouth hums the melody that she wrote down on the paper.

Suddenly, a water droplet fell on the paper in front of her. She lifted her head only to see a wet silver-haired and a pair of red ruby eyes is staring at her while hovering her figure from behind.

"S-Samatoki-san!" shocked Setsuna, immediately, cover and hide the paper in front of her. "S-since when you are home?" panics Setsuna.

"Hah?! I've returned long ago, did you not realized?" He raises his brows. There is a juice can in his right firm.

"Eh? Really? Sorry, I'm too occupied with my business..." reply Setsuna, scratching her neck. Then, she realized that Samatoki just came out from the bath as his hair still wet. That's mean, he had been home more than 30 minutes ago. She totally didn't noticed!

"Ah! Your hair is still wet, let me help you to dry it!" offer Setsuna. She gets up from her seat and runs towards her room.

"H-hey, you doesn't need to..." refuses Samatoki. However, a second later she came back to the living room with a hair dryer in her hand. At that moment, Samatoki know he need to give up.

Samatoki sighs as he took a seat at the kotetsu, they start to enter winter, so, it is indeed a bit chills. Setsuna start to dried his silver hair. He chug the juice in his hand. Honestly, he is kind of missed this moments. His little sister used to dried his hair before.

His red ruby eyes stared to the table, look at the music book that used by Setsuna a moment ago. Slowly, he gazed to the secondhand guitar that prop on the wall nearby. Setsuna bought it not long ago at the bundle market.

"Did you write a song?" asked Samatoki. Setsuna froze by his question.

"I-I am..." reply Setsuna, sheepishly. Although, she good with her musical skills, she tends to feel shy when people found out her hobby. She is totally bad at receiving complimentary especially from a stranger. That is because she doesn't know how to react. She just curious how bold she was to write songs during her days in high school.

"Heeh~ what kind of song did you usually write?" ask Samatoki.

"Um, depends, I write songs based on my feeling at the moments or experience in my life...or sometimes my wishes..." reply Setsuna.

"Oh, but if you asked my favorite genre, it's country, jazz and classical, but I do enjoys other genres," slowly, her shyness faded and she start to open up to share her interest.

"Do you play music instruments?"

"I am, since I was child, my parents introduced me with various music instruments, so...more likely, I able to play almost of them..."

"Hmm~ then, you know how to play piano?" Samatoki ask more, interested with her passion.

"I never got chance to play piano. But, I do plays keyboard, it's should be have almost same notes as keyboard..." Setsuna tilted her head. She remembered her high school music club only provided keyboard for them.

"Okay~ your hair is done~" cheers Setsuna once she already dried up Samatoki's hair.

"Then, what song did you write just now?" Setsuna widen her eyes, her cheeks suddenly turn into red.

"Umm, it's about my experience lately...that how I realized how unfair is this world..." Samatoki dumbstruck.

"Can you sing for me?"
