???
Shiho
Whoa...
Shiho
It looks like a regular station platform, but things are clearly a bit off here and there...
KAITO
I was just as surprised when I saw this place for the first time...
Shiho
Do new areas appear in SEKAI like this often?
KAITO
No, I've never heard of this happening until now...
KAITO
But this SEKAI was born out of you girls' feelings, so they may have something to do with this place.
Shiho
Our feelings...?
Shiho
(But which feelings?)
Shiho
(Maybe something has changed now that we've actually gone pro.)
Shiho
(Like our expectations for the future, our worries or our idea of where we're headed...)
Shiho
(Where we're headed...
Come to think of it...)
Come to think of it...)
Shiho
Where do these tracks go?
They seem to extend towards that sky...
They seem to extend towards that sky...
KAITO
I have no idea...
KAITO
But...
KAITO
What if these tracks lead to where you girls want to go as a band?
Shiho
Where we want to go...?
KAITO
That sound...
Shiho
I think it's coming from the station's speakers. But why...?
KAITO
Music...? What song is this?
Shiho
Wait, this song...!
KAITO
Do you recognize it?
Shiho
Yes.
Shiho
It's the song that made me want to start pursuing music seriously.
Shiho
(Hearing this song was the beginning of it all.)
Shiho
(I've always been really stubborn and struggled to play well with others.)
Shiho
(But music showed me that it's okay to pursue my own path.)
Shiho
(That being said...)
Shiho
I guess it just means that I'm not cut out for playing in a band...
Shiho
(I can't go back now, and I have no way to move forward...)
Shiho
(This is all I can really do for the time being...)
Shiho
(Even when it came to music, I tried to act tough and tell myself I couldn't play with others.)
Shiho
(I felt a lot more comfortable on my own...)
Shiho
(And past me convinced herself that going pro meant going it alone.)
Shiho
(But now...)
Saki
I thought about it for a really long time and still felt that I want to be in a band with you!
Honami
That's why we all made the decision to come here and tell you exactly how we feel.
Ichika
I want to play music that can move people with you, Shiho...
Shiho
(We've been able to go pro because they were willing to make that commitment.)
Shiho
(And all we have to do now is keep moving forward.)
Shiho
(Down this path as pros...!)
Shiho
Huh?
The train's doors just opened...
The train's doors just opened...
Shiho
But why?
They were tightly shut a second ago.
They were tightly shut a second ago.
KAITO
I'm not sure...
KAITO
But could it mean something?
Shiho
What could it mean...?
Shiho
Does it want us to board...?
KAITO
Possibly...
KAITO
I'm starting to think that you and the others are supposed to board this train so that it can take you wherever these tracks lead.
Shiho
Where these tracks lead...?
Shiho
(Does that mean...?)
Shiho
(The future? Where we want to go as pros...?)
Shiho
(But...)
Shiho
I'm not getting on.
Shiho
Because this isn't just my dream anymore.
Shiho
So, I shouldn't jump ahead and board it alone...
Shiho
I want us to go together.
Shiho
(I really have no idea where we're going to end up.)
Shiho
(But I'm sure it'll be somewhere nice as long as we stick together...)
Shiho
Let's go back, KAITO...
Shiho
We're going to get in a solid practice together today.
KAITO
Okay...
I'll stay as long as you need me to.
I'll stay as long as you need me to.
