Well, everyone in my squad's in it but to be honest... the real amazin' one is Ruka. She's one of the singers, who wrote that song.

'Suppose so. We've just been in the band fer a couple'a months...

...Ruka did. She used ta be a famous rockstar in a band, actually. She's also our squad leader.

[There's a wistful smile.]

I miss all of 'em.

They'd prob'ly like it here, but... I don't think they'd wanna stay here.

Pretty much. Fer me... there's people I wanna protect, too.

Yeah, I'm sure of it too. But fer now... I'm glad this works. It ain't the same havin' just me play the songs.

Yeah. I cain't say that I'm 'specially a music gal, but... it's fun ta listen ta some good music.

Festivals, huh... I've been ta one recently, but we don't usually get ta do a buncha celebratin'.

Yep, pretty much. I know there're people in the domes who'll still celebrate some things like summer festivals and obon, but fer us in the Seraph squad... festivals ain't really a thing.

Not really.

[Megumi just completely shrugs her shoulders at the thought. It isn't as if they don't have things that are happy outside of the band, even if she does make her world seem grim sometimes.]

Ruka just wanted ta have a band. That's all.

[It's so simple......]

Yeah. Everyone on my squad's interestin' in their own way, though. But fer now, I just gotta deal with I've been dealt.
