Honami

Listen

(I'm glad my committee meeting ended sooner than I expected. I can take my time eating my lunch now.)

Honami

Listen

Oh...

Ichika

Listen

Oh, Honami. Are you on your way back from the Cleanup Committee?

Honami

Listen

Yes. Are you just coming back from your student council meeting?

Ichika

Listen

I am.

Ichika

Listen

I'm guessing you haven't had your lunch yet either... Would you like to join me?

Honami

Listen

Sure. Where would you like to go?

Ichika

Listen

Well, there's actually something I'd like to talk about so... How about over there?

Honami

Listen

Oh, okay. Let's go.

Honami

Listen

(Does this mean she wants to talk about...?)

School SEKAI

Honami

Listen

Excuse us.

MEIKO

Listen

Ichika? Honami too?
You're here awfully early.

Ichika

Listen

Oh, we're not actually here to practice. We just came to have lunch and talk a little.

MEIKO

I see. I can move to a different classroom if you'd like...

Ichika

Listen

No, that's okay. Conversely, would you mind joining us?

Ichika

Listen

It's about Saki and Shiho... I was wondering if I could get your advice...

Honami

Listen

I knew it. You were worried about them too...

Ichika

Listen

A little bit...

Ichika

Listen

After we all left the other day, Honami, you tried chasing after Shiho, right?

Ichika

Listen

Were you able to talk much?

Honami

Listen

I was...

Shiho

Listen

She's...

Shiho

Listen

She's doing that because of me...

Shiho

Listen

Creating our own song, practicing for our show and trying to go pro... It's all making her do this...

Shiho

Listen

My dream's forcing her to push herself too hard...

Ichika

Listen

I didn't know Shiho was feeling that way about all this...

Honami

Listen

Me neither, but I immediately replied by saying that she's misunderstanding what Saki's doing.

Honami

Listen

After that, I suggested that we just watch over and place our faith in her...

Ichika

Listen

I see...

MEIKO

Listen

And we'd expect nothing less from you, Honami. Nicely done!

Honami

Listen

B-But... I just told her what was on my mind...

Ichika

Listen

You didn't do just that. What you said made me feel better too.

Ichika

Listen

I was actually thinking about talking to Shiho myself too.

Ichika

Listen

(This is a rare sight. Saki never falls asleep during class...)

Student's Voice

It's such a pain going back and forth between our classroom and the AV room. Can't we just do everything in one place...?

Ichika

Listen

(Oh, it's class A. Maybe they're switching classrooms...?)

Ichika

Listen

(Shiho...?)

Ichika

Listen

(Was she checking up on Saki...? But why...?)

Honami

Listen

I see...

MEIKO

And that's why you were also concerned about Shiho.

Ichika

Listen

Yes, exactly. It felt like Shiho was acting really strange after that during practice here too...

Ichika

Listen

But I never got a chance to sit down and chat with her because of work.

Ichika

Listen

So thank you for talking to her, Honami...

Honami

Listen

You're welcome.

Ichika

Listen

And I guess it's all up to Saki now...

Honami

Listen

I suppose so. But isn't there anything we can do to help with her songwriting...?

Honami

Listen

I get the feeling that she genuinely believes she has to do this all on her own.

Ichika

Listen

Right. If only there were something we could do for her...

MEIKO

Listen

Alright, girls, time to settle down♪

MEIKO

I understand how you feel, but you even said so yourself, Honami. Watch over and place our faith in her.

MEIKO

Listen

If you really mean that, you need to believe in each other more!

Honami

Listen

Oh...

Ichika

Listen

She's right. We need to start by trusting her and believing that she'll get through this.

Honami

Listen

Okay...!

Honami

Listen

(They're right. I'm sure Saki will be just fine...)
