" 4'33" " by John Cage.

Hazuki was sitting at Chitose's piano. She played some chords, and counted to herself. "One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four..."

Mutsuki walked up. "Have you seen Chitose?" she asked Hazuki.

"Three, two, three four, no, two, three, four," Hazuki said.

Mutsuki raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

"Practicing," Hazuki said. "When songs have long instrumental breaks, I count the measures until I sing again."

"Oh," Mutsuki said. "Sorry to interrupt, dear."

After Mutsuki walked away, Chitose popped up out of the piano. "Thanks, Hazuki. You 'saved' me from studying."

Hazuki winked. "I know when not to 'sing'."
