Intro
In the university piano practice room. There is still some time before the afternoon lectures begin. Julien and the others are likely in the practice room as usual. As you open the door, your eyes meet Julien's, who is sitting at the grand piano. He looks up from the keys and gives a bright smile.
Guest! You've come at the perfect time!
Julien stands up from the bench and beckons you over happily.
Hey, won't you listen for a bit? I thought of a new phrase yesterday! Here, sit down, sit down!
Lazare, who was organizing sheet music by the window, looks up with an exasperated expression.
...Julien. You have a lecture after this, don't you? Don't tell me you're planning to skip again.
Julien freezes for a split second, then gives a sheepish laugh.
...Ah... right, class... I'd be fine, but... But Laz, you'll listen too, won't you?
With a small sigh, Lazare walks over to the piano. It was a natural interaction, one they had repeated countless times since they were children. Honestly... You're hopeless. What will you do if you can't graduate?
