Later in the week, Lana, Michi and Naoki visit Kaede to look at the lyric’s progress, there they find Kaede and Yuen arguing over something really petty, they stop immediately in their presence and when Yuen realizes what the three are doing, she immediately offers her assistance, joining the group.

About a week later, after watching the trio’s practices with Yuen, Kaede realizes that she truly does enjoy writing lyrics and wants to continue. The four believe that she joined because she was finally pestered enough.
