The way you sang gave the rest of us so much energy! It's totally fine if you lie down, so try to recover some strength before it's you guys' turn!

No, I'm okay...!
I kind of want to watch everyone from backstage.

You know this all too well...

I don't like getting involved while not being able to fully commit myself. And there's one last thing that I need to do now.
Taiga
So, I'm going to get that out of the way and return to what I was doing.
An's Father
I see.

Kohane
Huff... Huff... Huff...
Akito
She seems the most exhausted out of all of us. But I guess she should be since she sang the most.
An
You did so awesome, Kohane...!
Kohane
Oh. Hehe. An...
Kohane
I did it...
And it's because you guys all said that you believed in me.
