Sigh... We spent so much time chatting, I didn't get to sing at all. We really don't have the time to do that.

Oh, that reminds me...

I think my parents also have some recordings of me practicing, and my theater troupe's events too.

Mom!

Can I ask you something?

This should be the right one...

I just have to skip forward a bit...

Hehe. That wasn't good at all.

I was completely out of tune.

But that really takes me back...

Rui and I used to practice in that park a lot.

(I was having so much fun back then...)

(I'd even go to the library or to Rui's house and have an adult read screenplays to me...)

(Everything changed after just that one mistake...)

...

Would you like to fly into the sky with me?

Huh?

Oh, I guess I pressed the play button again... I'd better stop it.

Don't be afraid. Believe in yourself!

...

(My acting and singing were so bad, but why does it feel so uplifting...?)

(It looks like I was having so much fun too...)

(I looked so happy and was singing my heart out... I can't seem to look away...)

(Wait... Is that it?)

(Having fun while performing...? Just singing my heart out is the difference?)

(I wasn't afraid of making mistakes back then. I just enjoyed getting in character and losing myself while singing.)

(But... It's not like that anymore.)

(That one failure is always on my mind, and now I'm worried about beating her. I can't just blindly enjoy acting.)

(No matter how well I sing, it's not coming from my heart and can't be much fun to listen to...)

Then the answer is simple... I have to enjoy what I'm doing.

The best thing for this show is for me to have as much fun as possible!

I'm going to cast a special spell on you.

Thank you...

Mom!

I'm going to practice singing now. I hope you don't mind the noise.

Wait, now? It's very late so try to keep it down.

The neighbors might complain...

Well, not the Kamishiros, but you know...

Hehe. I'll try to keep it down.
