"Well... I liked it." He says with no hesitation at all, giving Melody a smile when doing so. She hadn't asked for his opinion, and ultimately what he thinks of it doesn't really matter, but he still tells her all the same. Why? Perhaps as a simple reassurance.

"The things you sing don't have to be the things she wants, Mel. You can be true to yourself through your music, I'm sure of that. I hope you never give up on it, even if you do end up deciding to sing to no one but yourself."[break][break]

She doesn't have to be an idol for that much to be true, and as much as they stand at opposing sides, Mars finds himself truly hoping Melody can learn to be happy with her life.

The umbrella that had been his excuse to come here is still in his grasp, and when realizing this, Mars can't help but quietly, standing and setting down the beautiful piece that yesterday had been perfect accessory to complete Melody's attire. She has a lot to think about now, he knows that, and as much as he wants to help her, perhaps it would be better to let her organize her thoughts before they discuss all of this again.
