The night
"Midnight Carousel" was released.
The atmosphere felt different
from when we watched it inside the studio.
Little by little,
something started to move.
Before we realized it,
everyone had naturally gathered in the same room again.
𧑠Hinata
"It still hasn't increased yet!?"
Only a few minutes after release,
Hinata-chan kept refreshing the page over and over.
𧑠Hinata
"Waitβ
there still aren't any comments either!?"
π©΅ Ruka
"Come on,
it was literally just released lol."
π Shizuku
"Ufufu,
I'm sure it'll happen soon."
Her gentle words
made the room relax a little.
π©΅ Ruka
Ruka-chan was happily staring at the thumbnail.
π©΅ Ruka
"Midnight really has a strong vibe."
The neon lights.
The ferris wheel.
The colors of the night.
The atmosphere of "Midnight Carousel"
had finally taken shape.
And I think
that made Ruka-chan really happy.
π©· Aine
Aine-chan kept reopening the page quietly.
π©· Aine
"β¦I hope it reaches someone."
She said it softly.
I thinkβ
more than the numbers themselves,
she cared about whether the song truly reached someone.
π§ Rei
Rei-chan stayed quiet the whole time.
Even while everyone else was talking,
she silently watched the screen.
Sometimes,
she pressed the refresh button again.
And thenβ
after a little while passed.
π§ Rei
"β¦It's increasing."
At her words,
everyone looked at the screen at once.
It really was
only a little.
But compared to the previous release,
the numbers were growing slightly faster.
𧑠Hinata
"WOOOOAHHH!!"
Only Hinata-chan reacted
like she was at a live concert.
That made everyone laugh a little.
Even though it was late at night.
Somehow,
the room felt brighter.
π Mashiro
Looking back nowβ
"Midnight Carousel"
was still a very small song that night.
But.
It had definitely started moving forward.
Beyond that refresh buttonβ
little by little,
MixPalette's world
was beginning to expand π
