[You'd think that, after nearly six months of professional exposure, Lisa would be getting used to Ai by now. But, alas, the sparkle is not to be denied. Then again, it's... not necessarily Ai herself that's got her on edge this time, not that Lisa's entirely processed that small difference herself.]
I'm definitely interested, yes. That battle... [A wave of emotions crosses her face, if briefly: the fear she'd initially felt, the determination to do her best anyway, and... the freedom she'd felt playing together with them. The last lingers a bit longer, a tender smile settling for a second, before her lips smooth into a more neutral expression, some of her nervousness subsiding.] I think that's the most comfortable I've felt in the Dream Sphere, since the day I Awakened, even if I was scared out of my mind for more than a little bit of it. Playing with everyone was more reassuring than I expected it would be. So I'm really excited for this. I, um, meant what I said in there, though - I'm no idol. I'm not really even a professional musician, or a vocalist. That could change, but for now I need to make sure you're not planning to form another B-Komachi on the other side and put us in the spotlight. I... [She hesitates.] -don't know if I can sign on for that. That's not me, not even in my dreams.
[Discomfort flickers in her entire bearing, as she squirms slightly in her chair. She wants this, more badly than she's wanted anything in months, if she's honest with herself. But she knows her limitations. She trusts Ai not to push her too far if she does sign on, but Lisa just... doesn't want to set herself up to get her heart broken again.]
