So... Tired...

You want to practice tomorrow too, right? It might be good to call it day.

Sure... I'm exhausted...

Okay, good work today.
You showed real improvement. I think it was worth the effort.

Really?! You mean that?!

I do. I'm sure Rin will want to sing with you now.

I sure hope so...!
Alright, I've gotta keep this up!

But for now, wanna head back to MEIKO's place? I'm parched...

Mind going ahead without me, Len...?

Huh? Sure, but where are you gonna go?

There's something I should probably take care of now.

Kohane, what are you doing here...?

Aren't you supposed to be practicing with Uncle Taiga today?

Yeah, I was with him all morning...!

But we didn't work on singing today.

What?

Instead of singing, he told me to take another look at this city, and we spent some time walking around...

Around here...?

Yeah. I wasn't really sure what he wanted me to see, but it was really fun!

Hehe. It even reminded me of when I first wandered into Vivid Street.

I remember being so scared at first, but you helped me realize that I was wrong, An. And I'm really happy that you did...

Really...?

And then I heard you singing.

I'm still amazed by how cool your voice is! It still makes my heart race every time!

...!

Hehe. You know it...!

I want to keep practicing, and learn how to be cool and sing like you, An.

Like me? But you're already super cool, Kohane! Enough to make my heart race!

Y-You think so...?
Hehe. Thanks, An.

Yes, I know so. You're super cool, really amazing and always shine on stage...

Um, Kohane...

If...
Just if...

If we end up being far away from each other, what would you do?

What?

If we actually manage to surpass RAD WEEKEND...

I mean, way in the future, if we end up becoming world famous like Uncle Taiga and really make it, but end up apart from each other...

An, does this mean you're going somewhere...?

N-No, I'm not going anywhere now! I'm just asking, “What if?”

O-Okay... Well...
When you become world famous...?

Even then, I'd still want to sing with you.

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do, An. I'm pretty sure that I'd want to keep singing with you.

Oh, but that probably won't be easy either since I'd have to keep finding ways to get better...!

Still, I want to keep singing with you...

And I'm gonna keep doing my best.

Kohane...

Thank you so much...!

Y-You're welcome...?
Is everything okay, An...?

Everything's perfect!
Sorry for dropping such a weird question on you like that!

Really...?
Hehe. Then I'm glad.

Oh, Kohane, since we're here...
Wanna sing something together?

What?

We had our first practice together here, right?

So I kinda feel like singing with you now.

Oh, you're right...!
Hehe. You really surprised me by just immediately singing that time too.

Okay, An, let's sing, together!

Yeah, together!

♪ ————!

(It's just the two of us. I can hear Kohane's voice so clearly...)

(Every time I hear her sing, she makes my heart pound and think that something amazing's about to start.)

(I absolutely love it. I genuinely love the way she sings...)

(Keep moving forward.)

(I might have to deal with this kind of uncertainty again, but...)

(For now, I just gotta keep going!)
