Ichika

Listen

We have to tell Shiho...

Sound Effect: Play

2

Shiho

Listen

Again, I appreciate the thought, but that's just not enough...
3

Shiho

Listen

You have to be willing to put everything on the line to become a pro.
4

Shiho

Listen

Can you say for sure that you'd be able to do that?
5

Ichika

Listen

(All of us froze up when she asked us that...)
6

Ichika

Listen

(But now I know. We know...)
7

Ichika

Listen

I need to go...
Scramble Crossing
8

Saki

Listen

Ichi, over here!
9

Ichika

Listen

You're both early.
10

Honami

Listen

Hehe. You too, Ichika.
We still have plenty of time.
11

Ichika

Listen

True, but I couldn't just sit around at home...
12

Saki

Listen

Haha. I know, right?!
13

Saki

Listen

I couldn't stay still and wait knowing that we have to tell Shiho how we feel.
14

Ichika

Listen

Yeah.
15

Ichika

Listen

(They're both smiling, but probably feel just as nervous as I do...)
16

Ichika

Listen

(I suppose we should. We're about to unleash a flood of emotions in terms of how we truly feel on her...)
17

Ichika

Listen

Are you both ready...?
18

Saki

Listen

You, Ichi...?
19

Ichika

Listen

Yes.
20

Ichika

Listen

We've kept her waiting long enough...
21

Honami

Listen

We have...
22

Honami

Listen

I hope she'll hear us out...
23

Saki

Listen

Y-Yeah, but...
What if she's already decided to leave Leo/need...?
24

Ichika

Listen

Even then...
25

Saki

Listen

Huh?
26

Ichika

Listen

We still have to tell her.
She needs to know how we feel.
27

Saki

Listen

Ichi...
28

Saki

Listen

Yeah! You're right!
29

Ichika

Listen

Let's go find Shiho!

Saki

Listen

The show's up this way, right?
31

Honami

Listen

Yes! We should hurry!

Sound Effect: Play

32

Ichika

Listen

(Shiho...!)

Sound Effect: Play

33

Shiho

Listen

Sorry.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

34

Shiho

Listen

Can we table that idea for now?
35

Shiho

Listen

I have a dream...
36

Shiho

Listen

I want to go pro and play music that can touch people's hearts.
37

Shiho

Listen

There's a part of me that was hoping we'd all be able to pursue that dream together...
38

Shiho

Listen

But not all of you want to become professional musicians...
39

Ichika

Listen

(Shiho's always been serious about that...)
40

Ichika

Listen

(She's always wanted to play for people and find a way to touch their hearts, but...)
41

Ichika

Listen

(I...!)
42

Ichika

Listen

No, there's no way I can ever be that good. There are just so many great musicians out there too.
43

Ichika

Listen

Yes. Even if it's not entirely possible for me to become one, I can at least help her get close to the level she wants to achieve.
44

Ichika

Listen

(I never actually thought that I could. I kept admiring from afar without actually trying.)
45

Ichika

Listen

(That mindset is what kept hurting Shiho...!)
46

Ichika

Listen

(That lack of resolve kept her waiting...!)
47

Ichika

Listen

(But...!)
48

Honami

Listen

Hey! That looks like the venue!
49

Ichika

Listen

Okay!
50

Ichika

Listen

(Now, I... No, we...!)
51

Ichika

Listen

(We have to tell her how we feel now...!)
52

Ichika

Listen

Please, Shiho, we beg you...!
Just wait a little longer...!
53

Ichika

Listen

Give us a chance to tell you!
