Hey, you two!
Our break's about to end!

Oh, it's Airi!
We'll be right there!

Alright, let's get back into focus and give it our best shot...!

Yes!

(I'm so glad Shizuku and I had a chance to talk. I have a much better idea of what to do now thanks to her.)

(All that's left is for me to just be myself!)

(But I might be a bit too excited right now. Maybe I should take a deep breath and...)

An!!

Hey, Kohane!
Sorry about running off like that. But I feel much better now!

Wait, really?

I learned what I was doing wrong after having a chat with Shizuku. From here on out, I'm gonna do my best to just be myself!

Thank goodness... That's so great...!

But I'm still a little worried about overthinking things, you know...?

Oh...

In that case, An...
Would you like to sing with me?

Huh?

The truth is, An, I believe singing is what really allows you to just be you!

The way you look so cool, have this incredible presence and sparkle as you sing is really, really awesome...!

So, I thought we could sing together...
What do you say...?

Okay!

(Kohane went through the trouble of coming up with this idea for me...)

Thanks, Kohane!
Alright, let's do it...!

♪——————!!

Oh wow...!

Whoa...! They're amazing...!

Kohane put on an incredible performance during the Fan Festival, but I had no idea that they could be this powerful when singing together...!!

...

♪——————!!

Hehe. An seems so happy.

This must be her in her most natural state.

It's just getting cloudier and cloudier... There's rain in the weather forecast too, so we probably don't have much time left to shoot under a blue sky...

Right...
I hope things turn out for the better somehow...

Ms. Kawasaki! Ms. Kinuya!
Sorry about the wait!

Oh?
An, you seem more...

I apologize for causing you so much trouble! But I feel much better now!

I should be able to show me at my best now!

An...

Understood...!
Then, let's have another go at the scene in front of the chapel!

Okay!

(We have to really mean it with our wishes...)

(Please make it so Shizuku, Haruka and the others can just be themselves as they move forward together...!)

(Please let An make her dreams come true alongside those she cares about so much...)

I don't believe it...!
They seem like completely different people now!

I know, right...?
An and Shizuku look so spectacular now...

Hehe. They're doing really great now!

Yes, they are...!

Okay, this is good...!
However, I think we can squeeze in one more scene now that An and Shizuku have hit their stride.

Alright, let's move back to the courtyard and...

Caw! Caw!

*Hiss*

Huh?
Were some crows cawing at a cat just now...?

Speaking of which, we came across a cat when we got here. Do you think they're fighting or something...?

Oh no...!

There's a cat stuck in the tree...!
It's so high up too...

Wait, that's Vivi!

What?!

What's she doing here...?
Hang on... Can she really not get down?

Yeah, looks so...!
Why'd she climb all the way up there?

Oh no... What if that's where she ran after the crows started coming after her?

What do we do...?
She's so shaky and startled that she might lose her footing...!

No, we can't let her fall!
Wait, Ms. Kawasaki, can we ask to borrow a ladder from the staff...?

Oh, good idea!
Let's ask and... Oh no!

Caw! Caw!

No...!
The crows are back...!

(We don't have time to go borrow a ladder and come back...!)

(If Vivi falls, she's gonna get hurt really bad... Or worse...)

(No, we absolutely can't let that happen!)

An, what are you going to do?!

Let's see if we can climb up the tree!

But your dress is going to make that very difficult. Why don't I give it a try?

Shizuku... Thank you so much!

Oh dear...
I can't climb it... I'm having too much trouble getting a good grip...

Yeah, it might be tough even if we did manage to borrow a ladder...

That just leaves us trying to catch her as she falls, but there's no telling exactly where she's gonna drop down...

Wait, I know...!
If I use my skirt like this...

Caw! Caw!

*Hiss*

Oh no! She's gonna fall...!!

...!

(Okay, from that branch, she'll probably fall somewhere around...)

Here!!

An...!
*Gasp*

Hey, you okay?!
Huh...?

Oww...

Meow...

*Gasp*
Thank goodness...!

Everyone, Vivi's safe!

Thank goodness...!
An, are you okay? Here, I'll help you up!

Thank you very much!
Hehe. You've been a total lifesaver today, Shizuku.

Thank goodness you're all okay...!

Hang on... You caught her with your skirt?!

Yes.
I thought it'd make a good cushion and... Oh no!

I got it all dirty... What do I do?
It doesn't look torn or anything, but jumping into the shrubs didn't do it any favors...

Thank goodness!
I'm so glad you and the cat are both okay, An!

Oh, Ms. Kawasaki, Ms. Kinuya...
I'm so sorry. I...

Oh no! The dress...!

I'm really sorry!
You worked so hard to make this dress too... I guess this means our shoot's...

Hehe. Emergencies happen and clothes can always be washed. I can mend and sew things back together, but that's not the case with our feline friend here.

She's right!
And regarding our shoot...

I just have to capture you as you are right now, An!

Huh? What do you mean...?

Oh, because we all worked together and did everything we could to save this cat...?

Saving the cat did this?

Yes. We became incredibly worried and all wished for her safety, no?

And now, we're all beyond relieved that she's back with us safe and sound...

This cat brought us all together and filled everyone with so much joy. Isn't this what Ms. Kawasaki was talking about?

Yeah, you're right...!
I didn't realize something like this could bring us all together...!

Meow.

Wait, Vivi, if you rub your head against me like that... Y-You're tickling me!

Hehe.
I believe this is her way of saying, “Thank you.”

I-I'm glad she's happy but...!
Haha... H-Hey, I said that tickles...!
