Ah, excellent work.

We're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND and show you guys what things look like from on top of the world!

Akito
It's not just about having the skills to do it. We need to form strong connections not just between us, but also with the crowd. I thought I already understood that, but...
Akito
And we're standing here today because that night happened. That's as true as it's ever been.
An
We'll have to face those shortcomings... And think about what steps we can take, like Toya just said.
An
But I do know for sure that we need to tell them. About Nagi, about us and about our future.
Akito
If they hear about why RAD WEEKEND happened, then they might just be willing to come back around again.

Toya
I don't mean to spoil the moment...
But it's very difficult to regain lost confidence.

Toya
It was under fairly different circumstances, but I've been down that path. I sort of understand how they feel...
Akito
It's tough to find the will to stand back up and fight after you've convinced yourself there's no point...

I agree that it'll be hard for them to come back.
And... I don't think there's any guarantee that us talking to them will make that happen.

Akito
Alright, I'll try seeing if they'd be willing to sit down and talk with us somewhere.
Toya
To be honest, I doubt we're going to find the solution to this problem anytime soon either...
Akito
Yeah...
It's not something we can fix here and now, anyway. This is gonna take us a while to figure out.

Toya
If no method is presenting itself, we'll just need to also be thinking about this issue while we continue our practices.
Toya
Our first step should probably be to secure more time together. Would that be a problem for anyone?
Toya
That time can be used both for longer practices and for us to brainstorm our plans going forward.

Kohane
I'm really sorry.
I was asking my teacher about committee business and it ended up taking longer than expected.

Kohane
Oh, so...
I asked to see if there's some way for me to take care of my duties during lunch in order to give myself more time to practice.

The other hall monitors were happy to hear me out. Same goes for Toya and the library committee. I didn't think it would be this easy.
Akito
Normally, I'd have to put in my two weeks... But my manager's always been rooting for us. He even heard through the grapevine how we lost to Taiga...
Akito
So, after I told him that I wanted to focus on music more, he said, “Go get 'em! I believe in you!”
An
I mean, whenever I see him or any of the locals, all these emotions begin stirring up inside of me...

I mean, you never let it show at all...
You even said that she might come back someday...

You and the others were all just respecting her last wishes... Fine, I get that. Still...
An's Father
You're right.
Because we'd known each other since we were kids, I didn't want to disrespect her memory.

Also, as an artist, I wanted to see what the next generation she was talking about would be capable of.

Kohane
You contacted Tono and everyone the other day, right? Can you tell us what happened after that...?
An
Then, we'll just have to keep trying with Arata and the others as we go! For now, let's focus on practicing!
