School SEKAI
Saki
Alright, we should get going!
Rin
Okay! Thanks for telling us all about the talk you had with your label☆
Saki
You're super welcome!
Ichika
Anyway, see you later.
Rin
*Sigh*
They're so awesome!
They're so awesome!
Miku
They really are.
And they're at the point of putting a marketing strategy together...

MEIKO
I've had this realization a few times already, but... They truly have gone pro.
Luka
Yes, there's something very moving about it.
Len
Still, Mr. Shindo really threw them a tough question. What is their music gonna be about?
Luka
That is a tough one...
Shiho and Honami seemed rather uncertain...
Shiho and Honami seemed rather uncertain...
Miku
The four of them came this far driven by the desire to move people's hearts through their performances.
Miku
But I'm sure they each have their own hopes as well.
MEIKO
Ichika and Saki have already given their answers. But I'm sure Shiho and Honami also will in time.
MEIKO
I mean, they've already thought through so many tough questions on the way to where they are.
KAITO
Right...
I'm also sure that they'll find the answers they're looking for.

Len
Me too. So, we just gotta keep believing in them!
Rin
Hmm...
KAITO
What's wrong, Rin...?
Rin
Oh, um...
So...
So...
Shiho
Sorry for causing you two so much trouble.
Shiho
I'll try giving it some thought when I get home.
Honami
Me too...
It may take me some time, but I promise to come up with a satisfactory answer for when we next meet with Mr. Shindo.

Rin
I believe in them.
I really do. But...
I really do. But...
Rin
I can't help but wonder if I can do anything to help them...
MEIKO
Help them?
Rin
Yeah. Like you guys said, finding the answers they're looking for isn't gonna be easy.
Rin
But if they overthink things, they might stress themselves out...!
Rin
So, I wanna know if there's anything I can do to help, even if it's just talking with them.
Len
I get what you're saying, Rin...
If talking about it will help, then I wanna bounce ideas off them.
If talking about it will help, then I wanna bounce ideas off them.
Len
But most people need time to themselves when thinking about these sorts of questions, no?
Rin
Yeah, I know!
Rin
But...! But I'm getting so antsy!
Rin
I don't wanna not help when there actually could be something I can do for them...!
MEIKO
Okay, then...
Why don't we go take a peek at how they're doing?

Rin
Wait, are you sure...?
MEIKO
A quick look should be fine as long as we don't interrupt.
MEIKO
I'm also curious to see how they're doing, so I might go give Honami a visit...
MEIKO
So, Rin, you go see Shiho.
Rin
...! Okay, I'll do that!
You can leave Shih to me!
You can leave Shih to me!
Luka
I do understand how Rin feels.
We can believe all we want, but it's perfectly normal to feel some degree of anxiety.

Miku
Yeah... If they are having trouble, please help them.
MEIKO
Of course! Hear that, Rin?
Rin
Yup!
