Saki

Listen

Alright, Hona. Wait here while we finish prepping
for the party. We'll be done in no time!
2

Saki

Listen

If you could keep her company, MEIKO♪
3

MEIKO

Listen

Of course. I'll keep her entertained.
4

MEIKO

Listen

Looks like we'll be able
to chat for a little longer.
5

Honami

Listen

Yes. But what else should we catch up on?
6

Honami

Listen

We've already talked about practice
and how excited we are for the party...
7

MEIKO

Listen

Then... How do you feel
about turning another year older?
8

Honami

Listen

How do I feel?
9

MEIKO

Listen

Yeah. I mean, isn't a birthday a sort of
milestone or time for new beginnings?
10

Honami

Listen

I suppose you're right. Hmm...
How do I feel right now...?
11

Honami

Listen

I feel like I've gotten stronger than before.
12

Honami

Listen

So I hope I can keep up this momentum
and hold my head high.
13

MEIKO

Listen

I like that! I think not only are you kind,
but you've gotten really cool too.
14

Honami

Listen

Hehe. It's encouraging to hear you say that.
15

MEIKO

Listen

By the way, what do you think
about your past self?
16

Honami

Listen

My past...self?
17

Honami

Listen

I think it really was cowardly to be
so scared about being disliked.
18

Honami

Listen

I didn't want to hurt others or get hurt myself...
19

Honami

Listen

Because of that, I was often at a standstill...
But, I don't want to resent who I was back then.
20

Honami

Listen

I know that I wouldn't be who I am today
if I had not gone through all of that.
21

Honami

Listen

Rather than regretting the past, I'd like
to think I've found a stronger way to be kind.
22

MEIKO

Listen

You truly have become such a cool person.
I hope you maintain that mindset.
23

MEIKO

Listen

And would you look at that. I think
all your well-wishers here would agree.
24

Honami

Listen

Huh? Oh, when did everyone...
25

Honami

Listen

Hello everyone. Sorry for not including
you all in the conversation.
26

MEIKO

Listen

Looks like they didn't mind.
27

Honami

Listen

That's a relief. But since everyone
has come all this way, shouldn't we—
28

Ichika

Listen

Sorry for the wait, Honami!
We've finished prepping for the party!
29

Honami

Listen

Oh, you're back!
30

Honami

Listen

I know! Hey everyone, could we all
play a little something?
31

Shiho

Listen

Wait, right now?
32

Honami

Listen

Yeah. I want to do something
for everyone who came.
33

Saki

Listen

Wow! There's so many people! Did you all
come to wish Hona a happy birthday?
34

Shiho

Listen

It's your birthday, and yet
you want to perform for everyone?
35

Honami

Listen

Is that okay...?
36

Shiho

Listen

Of course. Why wouldn't it be?
37

MEIKO

Listen

In that case, I think I'll join in too.
38

Honami

Listen

Yes, please do!
39

Honami

Listen

Everyone! I hope enjoy my performance.
40

Honami

Listen

Here we go.
Good Weather!
