Classmate A
What's the point in discussing things when some people lack any motivation anyways?
Classmate B
How about we vote again? I'm sure most of us just want to get this over with already.
Classmates
Yeah, just pick something already...
Classmate A
Huh?
Classmate B
Um...
Honami
(I'm so scared... I can't stop thinking about how everyone will turn on me after this.)

Honami
Because what's personally important to you may not be that important to someone else.
Honami
The more we talk, the more arguments there will be. Some may be left unhappy and frustrated.
Honami
I still hope that we can discuss this seriously and find a way to participate in the recital that will personally satisfy each of you.
Honami
I'd like you all to listen to those who may not share your views and think about what you can say and do to accommodate them.
Honami
I'll be doing everything to help this process along.
So please, give me your support too.
So please, give me your support too.
Classmate A

Classmate B

Classmate B
Well, if you say it like that, I guess compromising isn't out of the question.

Emu
I wanna see all of you with big smiles on your faces♪ So let's talk about how to make this fun for everyone!
Classmate A
Yeah, you're right...
I do want us all to have fun too.
I do want us all to have fun too.
Classmates
And we shouldn't sour the mood in class just over a song.
Classmates
Yeah, if we're gonna do this, I'd rather do it properly!
Classmate A
But a difficult song definitely means we'll have to spend more time practicing, right?
Honami
They said that our class already has some good singers, so if we appoint them as section leaders, we'll be able to practice more efficiently.
Classmate A
Ah, okay. And that should shorten the time we need for practice.
Classmates
How about we record our practice sessions so everyone can listen to them?
Classmates
What about those who are too busy to go to every practice?
Honami
Emu helped me find out when everyone in class is free after school and it looks like we can put together a suitable schedule.
Classmates
Oh, so that's what that survey was for...!
Classmates
I don't know though... Is everyone really gonna be able to stick to that schedule?
Honami
It will be hard for some to come to practice every day, which is why I want to make it okay to go just a few times each week.
Classmate B
Okay... That doesn't seem so bad then.
Honami
It's a little difficult, but let's go with Smile Tomorrow Too as our song. And I'll be adjusting the practice schedule for everyone, if that's okay?
Classmate A
Same.
Classmate B
Okay.
Classmate A
And... I'm sorry for accusing you of not being motivated. I know cram school's really tough too...
Classmate B
And I'm sorry too for being such a wet blanket. I was frustrated because my grades slipped a little.
