Chapter Text
After having done an adequate amount of studying, Mafuyu thinks it’s good enough for the day. A little bit past midnight, she finally logs into Nightcord. She wasn’t able to since a couple nights ago since she had a couple exams this week. Opening up the group chat, she’s flooded with notifications.
22:00
Amia: GUYS! GUYS!
Enanan: What do you want?
Amia: Someone made a cover of our song

Mafuyu didn’t read any further before clicking on the link. The video had a birdseye view of a piano, perfectly displaying how they played. Mafuyu isn’t that good of a piano player, but she knows a pretty good one, and by the looks of it, this person knew what they were doing. It was almost similar to her friend’s style.
…
Maybe a bit too similar. The way the fingers glided across the keys, the jazzy rhythm that was added. It reminded her a lot of him. A short “thanks for listening” after he was done playing only confirmed her suspicions. She should ask him about this tomorrow. Going back, Mafuyu decides to read the rest of the chat.
Enanan: WHAT!?
Amia: Yeah, it’s crazy how far we’ve come in only a few months
K: I like how the jazz components give it a more upbeat feel
And the part at 1:27 that wasn’t in the original.
Enanan: Even then, it still feels like it holds a bit of the song’s original meaning
K: Hold on
I think I recognize the voice at the end
Mafuyu paused for a second. K knew Tsukasa? She continued reading, looking for an explanation.
Amia: REALLY!?
Enanan: How do you know them?
K: It’s a bit of a long story..
Amia: Can we meet them?
K: I can ask tomorrow.
Enanan: Pipe down, will you? I can feel your excitement from here.
Amia: Yuki’s gonna be thrilled when she comes back. Too bad she’s gonna be busy tonight.
The rest of yesterday’s messages were work-related and sending files here and there. Mafuyu scrolled to today’s messages. Most of them were still productive, but it was still clear everyone was excited about last night’s turn of events.
17:00
K: He said okay. Would you guys mind if he joined us tonight?
Amia: He can come!
Enanan: I don’t mind.
K: @Yuki What do you think?
Amia: Oi! @Yuki @Yuki
@Yuki
@Yuki
Enanan: Stop spamming her. She’ll respond when she has time.
Amia: Alright, fine..
24:00
K: I’m going to add him now
Pegastar has entered the chat
Pegastar: Hello everyone!
Amia: Hiiiii
Enanan: Hello. It’s nice to meet you
Pegastar: Ah, you’re all in vc already. I shall join you shortly.
Mafuyu was surprised, to say the least. It really was Tsukasa. How did Tsukasa know K? Did Tsukasa know that they were both part of Niigo? Did he know that she knew K? Only one way to find out. She joined the voice chat.
“Hello everyone.”
“Hi Yukiii!”
“Hey.”
“Hello Yuki.”
“Hello Ma- *ahem* Yuki!”
Yuki sighed. He was as loud as ever.
