Catarina entered the dining room later than usual.

"G'morning,"she greeted while rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning,Rin-chan."

"Good morning,angel."Opening her sleepy eyes, she found the idol who went on a training camp.

"Eiichi,when did you return?"

"An hour ago."

She took her seat across Eiji, who was beside his brother.

She questioned,"Where are the others?"

"They left early.Somehow,they all had jobs early today,"Eiji replied.

She let out an 'oh' while spreading butter on her toast. A bulb went off in her head,as if remembering something.

"Oh,Eiichi,the song was amazing."

"It's thanks to your wonderful song."

"Thanks.The lyrics were powerful too. Not to mention,your voices were mesmerizing. Both you and Otoya sounded amazing. I couldn't stop listening to it last night."

"So,that explains why you were later than usual.You were listening to Nii-san's song till late."Eiji pointed out.

Catarina sheepishly laughed."I couldn't help it.There was something about the song that attached me to it. I felt myself sucked it no matter how many times I listened."

"This is Nii-san's song after all.I liked it too."Eiji smiled.

"I'm glad you two liked it."Eiichi let out his usual chuckle.

"But Eiichi,"The female started before Eiji got up to wash his plates."when I heard the song, I felt a tinge of... loneliness.Like something painful. The lyrics bore that feeling too even if the meaning was to always move forward. . .I think that's what made this song soul shaking."

He widened his eyes for a mere second before chuckling."You're right, angel."

They didn't have time to discuss more about this topic since the brothers had a talk show to attend.She went with them.

Catarina put on her earphones and played 'Next Door'. She looked out the car window,immersed in her thoughts.

Eiichi's voice is really beautiful here. More than any other times I've heard. Otoya's too.This song is different from his usual cheerful songs.But his voice blends perfectly here.

The blonde had mailed a copy of this song to Haruka after Haruka asked for it when Catarina told her about the successful completion of the duet project. Did Otoya not tell her? The recording was earlier than planned but she should've heard about it after the redhead returned. Something about this was bothering Catarina.
Or maybe Otoya went straight to work.

Catarina took out her earphones after the song ended.I should think about HEAVENS' song now.

The female was sitting behind the brothers, who were also talking about the elder's duet project.

"Good.He's the best."

"It's rare for you to take such a liking to someone."

"The trembling of my soul is still running through my entire body."

Eiji and Catarina smiled at his excitement.

Trembling of the soul. . .I want to write another song that will satisfy him like that.Catarina mentally pumped herself to write a soul shaking song for HEAVENS that'll make them happy like this.
