Miku

Listen

Everyone! Are you all okay?!
2

Kohane

Listen

H-Huh...?
3

Akito

Listen

What happened...?
4

Len

Listen

*Gasp*
5

Luka

Listen

Thank goodness! You guys are finally back to normal!
6

Toya

Listen

What...happened to us?
7

KAITO

Listen

You were all completely unresponsive for quite some time.
8

MEIKO

Listen

Yes, it was as if your minds were somewhere else entirely...
9

MEIKO

Listen

We tried to get you all to snap out of it, but nothing we did seemed to work.
10

Kohane

Listen

...!
11

Miku

Listen

Can you tell us what you remember?
12

Akito

Listen

So...
I remember us talking about how there was something wrong with the tree in the plaza...
13

Toya

Listen

Yes, and we were discussing how we could remove all those black fragments.
14

An

Listen

Yeah! We were worried that it'd keep getting sicker...
15

An

Listen

Oh, hey! Look over there!
16

Kohane

Listen

Wow...!
17

Kohane

Listen

The tree's even bigger now...?
18

MEIKO

Listen

Yes. And those fragments have all changed color...

Len

Listen

They vanished...
20

KAITO

Listen

The tree just seemed to absorb all of them at once.
21

Luka

Listen

Oh, the leaves look so full of life now!
22

Kohane

Listen

Wh-What do you think happened...?
23

Miku

Listen

...
24

Miku

Listen

I think those black flecks were all fragments of feelings.
25

An

Listen

Huh?
26

Miku

Listen

Did you see something after you touched them?
27

Kohane

Listen

I think I was...dreaming.
28

Kohane

Listen

And it felt so real. But it was like a different reality...
29

Rin

Listen

Different? In what way?
30

Kohane

Listen

Umm... How should we explain it?
31

Toya

Listen

Well...
In my case...

32

Miku

Listen

I see.
33

Miku

Listen

So it was a dream about how your lives would've turned out if you'd all made different choices.
34

Rin

Listen

*Sob*
35

KAITO

Listen

What's wrong, Rin?
36

Rin

Listen

I feel kinda sad now.
37

Rin

Listen

Imagine if they all really became separated and never saw each other ever again...
38

Akito

Listen

It was all just a dream.
39

Toya

Listen

Right. Fortunately, we were somehow able to reunite with one another in the end.
40

Miku

Listen

Based on what you all just told us...
41

Miku

Listen

Your feelings may've created those black fragments.
42

An

Listen

Our feelings?
43

Miku

Listen

Yes. Pain, doubt, internal conflict...
Those are all just as much a part of your feelings.
44

Miku

Listen

They must've been lingering within SEKAI all this time. And they found their way onto the tree.
45

An

Listen

Oh, then... The tree became “sick” because of our feelings?
46

Kohane

Listen

It was all our fault...?
47

MEIKO

Listen

Like Miku just said, those negative emotions are all a part of who you are.
48

KAITO

Listen

Yes, and you all found a way to turn them into something beautiful in the end!
49

KAITO

Listen

Which means you all provided the tree with the nutrients it required to keep growing.
50

Toya

Listen

I see...
When you put it that way, I suppose it wasn't all bad.
51

Akito

Listen

Yeah.
52

Akito

Listen

I mean, it's normal to experience some pain while trying desperately to reach the top.
53

An

Listen

But... I'm kinda happy that happened, you know?
54

Kohane

Listen

You're happy...?
55

An

Listen

Yeah. I know that dream was full of not-so-nice things...
56

An

Listen

But we managed to overcome those hurdles and sing as a team again, remember?

57

An

Listen

So, doesn't that mean we'll be able to handle anything that comes our way?
58

Miku

Listen

Yes, I agree.
59

Miku

Listen

I believe that you'll be able to overcome any obstacles that you encounter and propel yourself to new heights.
60

Miku

Listen

And you'll likely grow a staggering amount with each passing challenge.
61

Akito

Listen

We're not gonna stop until we stand on top of the world.
62

Toya

Listen

Right. And we'll need to take on everything that comes our way if we want to make that happen.
63

An

Listen

I mean, we've already overcome a lot until now!
64

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, that's right!
65

Kohane

Listen

So, let's keep charging ahead... Together!
