One of Napstablook’s racing snails has paused in her meanderings to “listen”. Snails have no sense of hearing, but this one is quite adept at interpreting vibrations (like cheering from crowds!) She’s curious about the feel of Shyren’s singing. -theyellowthundersnail

* The vibrations of Shyren’s song are erratic, some notes being jumbled together while others are completely off tune
* However, there is an underlying rhythm that is strong but very faint
* A clear sign that despite her flaws, Shyren continues to sing

The snail waves gently back and forth in time with Shyren’s song, like a slimy yellow metronome. It’s kinda cute.

* The song is suddenly cut short
* A heavy sigh escapes from the singer as she looks down at her lap, defeated
* “No, no, that won’t do … The bridge was completely off. Argh.” 

The snail stops swaying, and begins grazing on a bit of moss. She understands what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the pressure of an overattentive audience.

“Huh?”

* Out of the corner of her eye, Shyren noticed a little dot of yellow
* Shyren slipped closer and inspected the snail that was grazing about

“ … Cute~”

The snail paused and inspected her back, waving its tentacles. It looked like the snail was saying hello, or at least showed an interest in Shyren’s presence.
