Shiho

Listen

The end...
That's the story of my life in junior high.
2

Ichika

Listen

(She saw...)

Ichika

Listen

(Shiho was watching us the entire time from the rooftop...)

Ichika

(While we could do nothing for her...)

Shiho...
7

Shiho

Listen

Like I said before...
The point of me doing this wasn't to make you all feel this way.
8

Ichika

Listen

But...!
9

Ichika

Listen

It's proof that we didn't understand what you were going through back then...
10

Honami

Listen

If only we'd taken the time to actually sit down and talk with you, like we did with Saki...
11

Honami

Listen

You wouldn't have had to go through what you did...!
12

Saki

Listen

That's not true, Hona!
13

Saki

Listen

I was the one who did the least out of all of us...
14

Shiho

Listen

Again, don't beat yourselves up over this. The moral of my story is that...
15

KAITO

Listen

That you're glad you didn't give up, right...?
16

Ichika

Listen

Huh?
17

Shiho

Listen

Yeah...
18

Shiho

Listen

Back then, I just couldn't give up.

Shiho

Listen

I'd convinced myself that we couldn't really be friends anymore, but deep down, I was hoping that we could.
20

Shiho

Listen

As a result, I had to suffer for it.
I was so afraid that I'd end up creating more problems instead of solving them. However...
21

Shiho

Listen

I endured, and I was rewarded with Ichika and Saki getting our band back together. I'm here today because I didn't give up...
22

Shiho

Listen

So I'm really glad that I held on to my music, and more importantly, all of you...
23

Honami

Listen

Shiho...
24

KAITO

Listen

Hehe...
25

KAITO

Listen

I'm glad music... No, I'm glad you found a way back to your friends, Shiho.
26

Shiho

Listen

Thanks...
27

Saki

Listen

I'm super duper happy that we managed to get our band back together too, Shiho...!
28

Honami

Listen

Yes, so am I...!!
*Sob*
29

Ichika

Listen

S-Stop it, you two...
I'm getting all teary-eyed just listening.
30

Ichika

Listen

I-It's too hard for me not to...
*Sob*
31

Shiho

Listen

Hehe...
You should see what you all look like in the mirror.
32

Saki

Listen

I-It's your fault!!
33

Honami

Listen

Hehe.
34

Honami

Listen

Still, do you know what happened to your friend from the rooftop? Takagi, was it?
35

Shiho

Listen

Sadly, I don't...
We were really only friends when we were up there...
36

Shiho

Listen

She didn't tell me which class she was in either.
37

Ichika

Listen

I see...
38

Saki

Listen

We should thank her if we do ever run into her! After all, she's the one who told you not to give up, right?
39

Ichika

Listen

I agree.
Do you think she's still playing her guitar...?
40

Shiho

Listen

Who knows?
She might've moved on to something else by now.
41

Ichika

Listen

That's true too...
42

Miku

Listen

But you two became connected through music, so I'm sure you're still tied together somehow...
43

Shiho

Listen

We're tied together through music...?
44

Miku

Listen

Yes, I'm sure of it.
45

Shiho

Listen

Hehe. You could be right.
Thanks, Miku.
46

Shiho

Listen

I hope we run into each other again someday.

Saki

Listen

Whew!
I'm stuffed!
48

Ichika

Listen

Your story sort of had the effect of turning this entire day into an afterparty, Shiho.
49

Shiho

Listen

In place of discussing what to do for our next show. But I guess that can wait until tomorrow.
50

Honami

Listen

Right. You can leave the scheduling to me!
51

Shiho

Listen

Hehe. Thanks.

Ichika

Listen

Hm...?
Is somebody doing a street performance?
53

Saki

Listen

Yeah, I hear it too!
I think it's a girl singing!
54

Honami

Listen

While playing an acoustic guitar.
55

Shiho

Listen

An acoustic...?
56

Shiho

Listen

Oh...
57

Shiho

Listen

It's...
