Sorry for asking you to meet me on such short notice when we're not supposed to have practice.
Kohane
No, that's okay.
I've actually been waking up early to practice projecting my voice on our days off.

Really? You really do have an amazing work ethic. Even on days off, you're raring to sing.
Kohane
You said it was something important...
Shouldn't we talk at the cafe instead of on the street...?

I've mentioned this a few times before, but RAD WEEKEND attained its legendary status because of the emotion that went into it. Very strong emotion.
Ken
If you're serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND, then you'll need to get everyone around here involved.
Ken
If they hadn't wholeheartedly wanted to respect Nagi's last wishes and give her the send-off she wanted, then I doubt RAD WEEKEND would've become what it did.
Ken
They're not paying attention to what you're doing right now. Or rather, there's no way for them to at the moment.
Ken
Nagi's wish was for the next generation to carry on her dream. So, they do want you to go beyond her dream.
Ken
But they're also still holding on to the memory of her, even without realizing it... I mean, they can't really help it since her shadow looms so large over this place...

None of this makes any sense!
I thought everybody was on my side! We were all like family!

Only An can do this.
Like Nagi, she grew up here, and the locals have always treated her like she was family.

I actually had a chance to talk to them a little while back. A few of them came to me, including the owner of Crawl Green.

Really... We're sorry...
Owner of Crawl Green
We don't expect you to forgive us.
We don't deserve that. Not one of us.

Owner of Crawl Green
But, yes... We really are sorry.
Owner of Crawl Green
Right. We're sorry for ambushing you like this.
Owner of Crawl Green
Thank you for letting us talk to you, An.
