[...she always forgets how heavy this song is when you know what's going on behind the scenes. Or when you're applying it to yourself. But it's fun to hit the couple of high notes, and the couple of tone changes. Hmm... how much does she want to stand out? Eh, may as well live a little, it's a party! So she doesn't bother to keep her volume down as she finishes out the last chorus:]

♫ Let the clouds heal me of the stings
Gently wipe the sorrow off my liiiife... ♫

[......she missed this. She missed this a lot and she needs to drag Junna and maybe Hibiki out to karaoke every once in a while. Not that Junna wouldn't probably enjoy it anyway, and Hibiki would probably go in a heartbeat, but. As her voice fades into the empty space and she gently throws the last line in, she's just happy to be happy.]

♫ I dream... ♫

[Lisa lets out a breath, grinning, particularly at Sam who seems genuinely entertained.]

Hey, it means plenty, Sam. You knew me before, when I was a wreck that didn't really know what to do with herself, so hearing I really am improving is a big deal and I'm glad to hear it. Thank you.
