She just keeps getting better and better, while whatever I'm feeling keeps getting worse and worse.

I want to care for her more than anyone else... I want to be someone she can respect and be proud of...

Since you want to be someone she can “respect and be proud of”, An, you want her to like and be excited by the way you sing.
Akito
You're worried about not being able to do that if Kohane keeps improving at her current rate, right...?

An
As happy as I was about how awesome Kohane sang, a part of me felt so much anxiety over it...
An
What if Kohane becomes so good that I'm not able to hold a candle to her anymore...? That question flashed across my mind after her performance...

We're still just getting started, but yeah, this was an important first step for us.
An's Father
And I'm sure you'll do just fine if you keep at it. For now, have a seat and relax.

An
Nice to meet you too! I'm An Shiraishi! And we're all friends here so you don't have to be all formal with me.
An
So you finally found a good partner, huh? You did say that you've been wanting to form a team like Dad's...

Akito
Yeah, and no one our age comes close to her level. Some professional musicians have even begun keeping an eye on her...
Akito
Nope... She says she's looking for one and a bunch of people have already asked her...
Akito
(It'd be great if she can find someone she respects and respects her back, but that's easier said than done.)
Customer
Have you found a good partner yet, An?
An
We'll practice a bunch and do a lot of performances together, while maybe having a few fights along the way...
Akito
Which is why I think it's natural for you to be scared of her not being your partner anymore...
Akito
Based on what I know, I seriously doubt that's ever going to happen, but I can't say that possibility's zero...
Akito
That means you gotta keep climbing with her. You gotta practice and work hard to keep up with her.

Kohane
I managed to find Taiga hanging around Vivid Street after that and swapped contact info with him.
An
Good for you, Kohane!
But if he asks you to do anything weird, tell me right away! I'll set him straight if that happens!
