That's this shelf all sorted. Next, I'll start working on my desk.

Haruka

(We've been so busy lately that I need to take every chance I get to clean my room.)

<Haruka!
I wanna ask you something about this dance routine I've been practicing...>

Haruka

Listen

Huh? Rin? Whoa...!

Rin

<Oh no!>
6

Haruka

Listen

O-Oww...
7

Rin

Listen

<H-Haruka?! Are you okay?! That was a pretty loud thud...>
8

Haruka

Listen

I-I'm okay...
I was cleaning up, and I sort of hit my head on the desk, that's all.
9

Rin

<What?! Is it because I surprised you?! I-I'm so sorry!>
10

Haruka

Listen

It's not your fault, Rin.
I was just careless.
11

Haruka

Listen

So, you said something about a dance routine?
12

Rin

<Oh, you don't have to help if you're still cleaning!>
13

Rin

Listen

<Also, good for you for cleaning your room!>
14

Rin

<Wait, those papers on your bed...>
15

Rin

Listen

<They all say “Audition Application” at the top... Oh, does that mean...>
16

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, they're my old resumes.
Just practice ones, though. I found them while cleaning.
17

Rin

<I knew it!
Can I take a closer look at them? Please!>
18

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. Sure.
I'll move them closer so you can see them better.
19

Rin

Listen

<Yay! Thanks, Haruka♪>

Rin

<Wow, your handwriting's amazing!
It's identical to the way you write now!>
21

Rin

<No, wait. Did you use to write a little bigger?>
22

Haruka

Listen

Haha. You got me...
23

Rin

Listen

<Oh, why's the part where you talk about yourself all covered in red ink...?>
24

Haruka

Listen

Ah, those are my mom's corrections.
25

Rin

<Really? Lemme see...
“Talk about just one thing you're best at, and one thing you want to do!”
“Answer the question first. Explain your reasoning after!”>
26

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. I remember her giving me other comments, too.
27

Haruka

Listen

(Still, these really take me back.)
28

Haruka

Listen

(I didn't know what I was supposed to write, but I knew for certain that I wanted to become an idol. And my mom was there to make corrections for me.)
29

Haruka

Listen

(I remember feeling so nervous after sending in my applications.)
30

Rin

Listen

<Oh, at the end, you wrote, “I want to become an idol who can spread hope to others”!>
31

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, that has always been what's driven me.

32

Little Haruka

Listen

She said that it's an idol's duty to spread hope to others and make them smile...
33

Little Haruka

Listen

I want to spread hope to others the way she does... I want to make lots and lots of people smile...
34

Little Haruka

Listen

I want to become an idol too...!
35

Haruka

Listen

(Ever since the day she gave me my dream.)
36

Rin

<Thanks for showing me these, Haruka!
Oh, what's this piece of paper?>
37

Haruka

Listen

Huh? Oh...
38

Haruka

Listen

This is a clipping of the interview that the producer of ASRUN did.
39

Rin

Listen

<Huh? Of ASRUN?>
40

Haruka

Listen

Yeah. I decided to apply to join ASRUN after reading this article.

41

Haruka

Listen

After seeing “idols are supposed to spread hope to others” in print.
42

Rin

<Wait, that means...>
43

Haruka

Listen

Yes.
His words matched up with my dream.
44

Haruka

Listen

That's why I became convinced that I could make it come true by joining his agency.
45

Haruka

Listen

(And I'm so glad I applied.)
46

Haruka

Listen

(I got to join ASRUN, make a lot of different dreams come true and spread hope to countless people.)
47

Haruka

Listen

(Unfortunately, things ended with us disbanding...)
48

Haruka

Listen

(But I've been able to take what I experienced with ASRUN and keep spreading hope to others.)
49

Haruka

Listen

(And I'm going to keep doing my best.)
50

Haruka

Listen

(So that we're able to spread hope to people all across Japan.)
