Ahem, a very good morning, students.

You've all made it to today's closing ceremony through consistent diligence. However, over the break you must remember to keep safe, and...

*Yawn*

Hey, Mizuki!

Try and be a little more subtle!

C'mon, don't the principal's speeches make you sleepy when they drag on like this?

I get what you mean, but still...

Anyway, don't you feel a little sentimental knowing that it's our last day as first-years?

Hm... I guess I do?

*Sigh*

You don't at all, do you?

...and so, as part of your ongoing intellectual and physical development, I'd now like you all to take this opportunity to cast your minds back on the past year's events.

Oh...

(The past year...)

(I guess a lot did happen...)

(I was looking for a partner for so long. Someone to surpass RAD WEEKEND with...)

(I couldn't find anyone, but...)

(I found the best partner I could ask for. Someone who makes my heart race...)

(I met Miku and the others... I had some conflict with Toya and Akito at first, but then they became my amazing teammates.)

(And...)

(Now I know about Nagi's dream for us.)

(We're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND. I've never believed it so strongly.)

(And so... I'm going to keep moving forward with the others...!)

Phew, we're all done!

It's a nice bonus to finish school at lunchtime.

Hahaha, I know what you mean.

But... I guess we'll never come back to this classroom again.

Oh, you're right.

When you put it like that, it's a little sad.

But, put it this way!

That's only true because you escaped being held back a year!

H-Hey! You don't need to bring that up.

Hahaha! Still...

Thank you, An.

Hmm?

It was fun being your classmate!

We might be in different classes next year, so I figured I'd say it now.

Oh...

I had fun too! But you know...

Even if we aren't classmates next year, nothing's going to change. You'll still be my friend.

I'm looking forward to being your friend in second year, Mizuki!

Oh... Yeah.

I'm looking forward to it too, An!

Oh, by the way. Do you wanna get lunch after this?

I know it's last minute, but I suggested to Rui and the others that we have a little after-party to celebrate getting through the supplementary classes.

I know you're super busy, but if you're gonna eat lunch anyway...

Oh... I'm not sure...

I'd love to join you, but I have practice...

Actually, no. I'll go with you.

Oh, are you sure it's okay?

Yeah. I might leave partway through to go to practice, so as long as that's fine!

Woohoo!

That's totally fine♪

We agreed to meet at the gate, so let's head there together when you're ready!

Okay!

See you, An, Akiyama!

Don't be strangers when we're second-years, okay?

Okay! See you two!

Where are Rui and the others...? Oh, there they are, in front of the gate!

I think we're last. Let's hurry up.

Oh... Okay!

Oh...

(The breeze...and the smell of the leaves...)

(The seasons keep on changing...)

(I'm going into a new school year with all sorts of challenges...)

(But I'll be okay. I'm surrounded by my friends.)

(Friends who chase dreams with me. And—)

Hey, An!

You coming or what?

(And friends here at school.)

(I'm gonna keep them close...)

(And never stop pursuing my goals.)

Coming!
