This sort of attention can cause others to get ideas. Seriously, if I ever find the jerk that started this, they're in for some trouble!

Minori
I know you probably don't feel great right now after seeing all the horrible things those people said...
Minori
The truth is... There was a time when I had to deal with having a target on my back...
Minori
Once I knew that was possible, I was able to muster up the courage to move forward...!
Minori
I, as well as all those who support you, will be eagerly waiting for you to dazzle us with your song!

Hasegawa
<“I didn't want to hear it, but people started blasting it in class because it's popular or whatever. It's awful.”>
Hasegawa
<Lately, my body begins shivering uncontrollably whenever I sit at my desk and try to work on a song...>
Hasegawa
<I was just trying to spread hope with my song, but I ended up hurting these people...>

Haruka
That's not true. What you said about her supporters still being there for her must've gotten through to her...
Haruka
There was a time when I felt so “scared” that my body refused to do what it was told.
Haruka
However... That's also sort of why I don't really know what to say to her right now.

We'll be fine, Haruka!
I'm sure you'll be back on stage after you take a short break!

I get that you feel bad about this since you're the responsible type and all, but that's also why it might be good for you to relax more.
Manager
We'll be consulting with a specialist as well, so let's just try to get through this together.
Haruka
But even after hearing all those kinds words and seeing so many people about it, my legs wouldn't stop shaking.
Shizuku
We were able to give you a show, Haruka, so isn't there something we can give Hasegawa...?
Airi
I think what she needs most right now is some sort of proof that her song can “spread hope to others”.
MEIKO
Yes, it's become a question of how to free someone from the “fear” that's petrifying them...

I see. Her reflexes will force her to...
No, that's not what we're trying to accomplish here!

So... Luka tickled me this one time when I was feeling really nervous and it did wonders for me. I was thinking that we could try doing the same thing...

<I hope you enjoy our show tomorrow! I'm sure you'll find the venue fine, but I'll send over a map just in case!>
Haruka
(But is it okay for me to go have fun at a time like this? Right when Hasegawa's suffering so much...)

Rin
<No, don't apologize! You worry about me whenever I'm in a bad place, right, Haruka?>
Rin
<But you might not need it since you've got a good head on your shoulders. I mean, you're such a great singer and dancer...>
Haruka
So, Rin, what would you do?
She's going through the exact same thing I did, but I have no idea how to help her...

Rin
<That's why I'd temporarily set aside whatever's bothering me and cheer myself up by having lots of fun!>
Haruka
Hehe. You're right.
I'd forgotten how important that is. If things went on like this, I wouldn't have had the energy to help anyone.

That also reminds me of how my old groupmates used to say, “You worry too much because you're the responsible type.”
Rin
<But! If you still don't feel great after taking the time to relax and have lots of fun...>
Rin
<Miku and I are gonna tickle you silly!
So if that does happen, come over to SEKAI whenever you like♪>
