Azusa was filling in the application form for the new
club before going to bed.
She filled in each line while quietly reading every word
out loud.
"Name: Light Music Club…Supervisor: Yamanaka
Sawako-Sensei…Members: Azusa Nakano…Jun
Suzuki…Mio Akiyama…Yui Hirasawa…"
Her whispers trailed off as she wrote these last
names, realizing what she was doing.
After a few moments, she erased them.
"I'll leave the last few blank for now I guess."
Azusa leaned back in her chair and stretched her arms
and legs with a yawn. She opened and closed her fists
while rolling her head from side to side.
Her head began hurting again as it had for the past
several days.
She picked up a bottle of aspirin her mother had given
her. The pills were larger than the usual kind, but
mother said they would be strong enough to take the
headaches away.
After a drink of water to help swallow the capsule, she
returned to the form.
"Purpose: Write and perform...original music...for the
school faculty...and...students...at festivals...and
welcoming...ceremonies."
The night had been wearing on and her eyelids were
slowly closing. The soft glow from the lamp and the
warm air made her desk seem like the perfect place to
sleep and her arm the perfect pillow.
"Desired meeting place: Upstairs music room…
Estimated…budget…and…its…purpose…"
Before she could finish, the girl was sleeping soundly
with the pen still in hand.
