Oh, this one looks really pretty!
Yes, it is.
I'm reminded of the streets in Hamburg.
Did your dad also do a concert there?
Yes, a number of times.
However, this feels more downtown than the streets I walked on then.
Wow, really?
Oh!
Look at all the flyers on the walls!
They're so fun and colorful.
Yes, they are.
Their designs are interesting and... Hm?
...!
This is...!
What's that?
It's a flyer for Gurney flap...
G-Gurney...?
Oh, that's the name of Tono and Soma's team...
Really! I didn't know that!
But what's their flyer doing here in SEKAI...?
(On closer inspection, it seems only their team name is written here.)
(There's no information regarding when or where it is, or who else is performing. Not only that, it's starting to fall off.)
(What if this means...?)
Is something wrong, Toya?
“What if Tono isn't coming back...?”
“What if Soma stops making new songs for him...?”
This may be a product of those thoughts.
Oh...
It's true that anxieties like that could also manifest themselves here...
Yes...
(When I visited Soma in the hospital after Tono disappeared...)
(Those thoughts ran through my head.)
(I was worried that I'd never see Tono sing Soma's songs again.)
(At the same time...)
I still believe...
In Tono. In Soma.
Toya...
A little while back, KAITO, you told me that we share some similarities with Soma and Tono...
You said you saw similarities in how he cares about his partner very much and seems very serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND.
Yes, I remember saying that.
That day, Tono...
So, Arata, let me ask you this. Who are you really singing for?
You're not trying to make Soma's dreams come true. You can't face the pain of having lost him, so you're just clinging to his dreams.
Am I wrong...?
...!
After Taiga said that...Tono disappeared.
But I've been thinking about that.
Yes, Tono may be singing because he can't face that pain.
But... I'm certain there's more to it than just that. There must be.
He cares about the dream that Soma shared with him more deeply than anything.
Just as Akito shared his dream with me, which I now care deeply about.
Just watching the two of them talking made that...painfully clear.
Toya...
So, I'm going to complete the task Ken gave me and tell Tono and the others about it.
In order to get them to return.
I see...
Yes, this is wonderful! I'm starting to get all fired up!
Not only that, this flyer specifically appeared in SEKAI.
I have a feeling that it doesn't come from a place of worry. I think it comes from your desire to surpass RAD WEEKEND with Tono and the others.
Yes, I see.
Thank you for saying that, KAITO.
Hm...?
Huh? Is something the matter?
No, it's just... I noticed that there's a strange flyer posted on the wall behind you, KAITO...
A strange flyer?
Huh...? No, this is...something else.
Huh?
It's sheet music!
Sheet music...?
