Ruri smiled. Gunther was willing to take the other part of the duet so, Ruri could only hope that their voices would meld well enough to sound good when they sung. She brought up the microphone to ready herself for the first line and took her position. With that, she let the first line go. "Now praying for your painful cry…" She paused to allow Gunther to do her line before letting her voice out again. "Fu- Ooh yeah…FLY!" There was actually a sense of harmony. Her clear and sharp voice created a beautiful contrast with Gunther's up until the last word of that line. Gunther's decision to shout the word 'fly' had caught Ruri off-guard. She felt her heart nearly jump out of her throat as she heard that and felt herself hiccuping on the proper crescendo of the note. It was quite overwhelming, albeit somewhat interesting to see. But she still had a song she wanted to sing. So, she would sing. Using the quick pause she had between the lines, she regained her bearings before starting the next line. "Even the thousands of millions of prayers." She paused to let Gunther sing the next line. One she sang to herself in her head. Even with the warm light. "Are a dark devilishness that is like a jail that swallows up everything." She strengthened her voice, much like Gunther had done. She refused to let herself be overshadowed and overwhelmed again. Like karma. "Like tripping." You aren't able to just throw away the experience from you. "And so, I become true to myself and run right through!" She matched Gunther's power. "Reach, Reach to the speeding PULSE of our connected hearts! Strongly, strongly, just gazing--" At the Sirus of the heart. She paused to allow Gunther's line to continue before pushing the final line and great declaration of the chorus. "I will overcome the darkness!" But something felt off. This was a duet. The power of the duet came both in the near-telepathic connection between the singers, the ability to understand the partner through song. There were points where the perfectly memorized internal voice singing the song and Gunther's own voice were off by half-seconds during switches. Though she was pushing to let herself out, she still felt a lack of the same from her partner whose name she did not even know. They were not connected enough, so the duet was still flawed, even if their voices were in harmony. She wanted to fix that. So, she turned to her partner during the instrumental break before she could hit her next line and started off, with a sharp and clear voice. "A noise that seems to tangle together…"
