An's Father

Listen

Ah, Akito, you're here pretty early today.
2

Akito

Listen

I figured no other customers would be here right after you opened...
3

An's Father

Listen

Which probably means that you wanted to talk to me...
4

Akito

Listen

Yes, um... If it's alright with you...
5

An's Father

Listen

A kid like you doesn't need to put on a face for me. Anyway, come on in.
6

Akito

Listen

Thank you.
7

An's Father

Listen

Alright, here's your usual coffee.

Akito

Listen

Thank you very much.
9

An's Father

Listen

So, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about...?
10

Akito

Listen

There's something I needed to ask you...
11

Akito

Listen

After we battled against Tono and lost that one time, I came here to apologize...
12

Akito

Listen

For not taking your advice and trying to do everything on my own.
13

An's Father

Listen

Yeah, I remember.
14

Akito

Listen

Do you also remember what you said to me...?
15

An's Father

Listen

I do...

16

An's Father

Listen

RAD WEEKEND, huh...?
17

An's Father

Listen

Goals and ideals are things that can give people purpose, but also mislead them.
18

An's Father

Listen

A lot of people end up seeing the past, their own pasts especially, through rose-colored glasses.
19

An's Father

Listen

Without even realizing it, we all sort of exaggerate the truth and detach ourselves from reality.
20

Akito

Listen

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
21

An's Father

Listen

I'm sure you'll understand in time...
22

An's Father

Listen

For now, just make sure to cherish your friends. They seemed very worried about you over what happened.
23

Akito

Listen

We know the truth behind RAD WEEKEND now...
24

Akito

Listen

So, if possible, I'd like it if you could tell me what you meant that time...
25

An's Father

Listen

Right...
26

An's Father

Listen

Though, I have a feeling you already know the answer to that question.
27

Akito

Listen

I mean...
28

An's Father

Listen

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be unforthcoming or anything...
29

An's Father

Listen

A part of me knew you'd return to ask me about what I said someday. So, please feel free to speak your mind.
30

Akito

Listen

Then...
31

Akito

Listen

When you said how goals and ideals can mislead people, were you actually talking about Nagi and RAD WEEKEND?
32

An's Father

Listen

Yes...
33

An's Father

Listen

What you youngsters saw and what's become a part of the fabric of this town... They're the same thing, but also not.
34

An's Father

Listen

Unless you know the secret behind that event, and understand all the emotions we felt... You and your team won't be able to surpass it.
35

An's Father

Listen

We knew that, but we still decided to pass the torch on to the next generation.
36

An's Father

Listen

There's a huge gap between those who know the truth and those who don't.
37

An's Father

Listen

I think a part of Taiga was really bothered by how things became so distorted.
38

An's Father

Listen

So, as much as I don't like how he went about things, I believe that was his way of telling you all the truth...
39

Akito

Listen

Then, you were worried about RAD WEEKEND being called such a legendary event because...
40

An's Father

Listen

Nagi's passing, our choices, our ruse...
None of that is anything to be glorified.
41

Akito

Listen

I have a much better understanding now...
42

Akito

Listen

Thank you for telling me all this, Ken.
43

An's Father

Listen

Sounds like you got the answer you were looking for.
44

Akito

Listen

I did.
45

Akito

Listen

(When he told me to cherish my friends that time, he probably wasn't just giving me advice. He was also probably talking about Nagi...)
46

Akito

Listen

(The only way we're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND is as a team.)
47

Akito

Listen

(I don't care how impossible it's gonna be. We're gonna do it.)
