We have to tell Shiho...
Again, I appreciate the thought, but that's just not enough...
You have to be willing to put everything on the line to become a pro.
Can you say for sure that you'd be able to do that?
(All of us froze up when she asked us that...)
(But now I know. We know...)
I need to go...
Ichi, over here!
You're both early.
Hehe. You too, Ichika.
We still have plenty of time.
True, but I couldn't just sit around at home...
Haha. I know, right?!
I couldn't stay still and wait knowing that we have to tell Shiho how we feel.
Yeah.
(They're both smiling, but probably feel just as nervous as I do...)
(I suppose we should. We're about to unleash a flood of emotions in terms of how we truly feel on her...)
Are you both ready...?
You, Ichi...?
Yes.
We've kept her waiting long enough...
We have...
I hope she'll hear us out...
Y-Yeah, but...
What if she's already decided to leave Leo/need...?
Even then...
Huh?
We still have to tell her.
She needs to know how we feel.
Ichi...
Yeah! You're right!
Let's go find Shiho!
The show's up this way, right?
Yes! We should hurry!
(Shiho...!)
Sorry.
Can we table that idea for now?
I have a dream...
I want to go pro and play music that can touch people's hearts.
There's a part of me that was hoping we'd all be able to pursue that dream together...
But not all of you want to become professional musicians...
(Shiho's always been serious about that...)
(She's always wanted to play for people and find a way to touch their hearts, but...)
(I...!)
No, there's no way I can ever be that good. There are just so many great musicians out there too.
Yes. Even if it's not entirely possible for me to become one, I can at least help her get close to the level she wants to achieve.
(I never actually thought that I could. I kept admiring from afar without actually trying.)
(That mindset is what kept hurting Shiho...!)
(That lack of resolve kept her waiting...!)
(But...!)
Hey! That looks like the venue!
Okay!
(Now, I... No, we...!)
(We have to tell her how we feel now...!)
Please, Shiho, we beg you...!
Just wait a little longer...!
Give us a chance to tell you!
