I wouldn't mind running like that again...
*Gasp*
Shiho...!
But we don't have time to individually practice playing our instruments. Moving forward, we're gonna need to play as much as we can as a band and push each other to do better.
Try to keep up with me, okay?
Okay!
(Thank you for believing in us, Shiho!
We promise to do everything we can to keep up with you!)
Nice work, everyone.
N-Nice work...
It's pretty late now.
We should probably clean everything up as quickly as possible.
Right.
We'll help.
Thank you, Miku, Luka.
Okay... I should also help clean up...
(Trying to keep up with Shiho is just so hard...)
(We got to finally practice as a band today, but we never really got in sync...)
(No, this was just our first day...!
We still have two weeks! We have to figure out a way!)
(Oh, that reminds me...)
For us to reach your level, Shiho, we'll probably have to spend less time eating and sleeping in order to practice.
Even so...
I want to make that happen before our show.
You make it sound so simple...
But that's easier said than done.
Until now, we've been practicing with everything we have without cutting any corners.
But to ask you to do even more...
What if one of you collapses from exhaustion before our show...?
I don't care.
I'd rather have that happen than regret not practicing as hard as I could've.
(Th-That's right...
I went as far as saying that I don't care if I collapse...)
Shiho, I bundled up all of the cables.
Thanks, Len.
I can handle the rest.
...
Shiho, I'll lend you a hand once I'm done cleaning up here!
Thanks, but that's okay.
I'm actually just about to finish.
O-Okay...
Um, then... Wanna talk about what could've gone better during practice today?
...
What's with all the tip-toeing?
Can't you just say what you want to ask?
Oh... Um...
Remember what I said during our last practice? About how I didn't care if I collapsed...?
But I know that it'd be really, really bad if I actually did collapse from exhaustion!
Y-Yes, I cut back on sleeping and eating so that I could practice instead.
I even asked to have my shifts reduced at work and to take days off from club activities in order to focus on our band!
So, I kinda wasn't joking when I said that I didn't care if I collapsed from exhaustion...!!
Don't worry. I know.
Based on all of your expressions that time, I could tell that you guys were being serious, Saki.
...!
Not only that, when you were writing your new song, you managed to complete it after taking a really hard look at yourself, right?
There's no doubting your commitment at this point, Saki.
Sh-Shiho...!!
So, I'm hoping that you'll get through this... Let's put on the best show Leo/need's ever done.
Yeah...
Yeah...!!
I'll do whatever it takes!
Even if the Earth gets destroyed!
Huh? I sorta doubt that you'll be able to if the Earth gets destroyed.
No, I'll still do it♪
Wait, huh?
Why are you hugging me?
Hehe.
(Just watch, Shiho.
I'll show you that I can get through this!)
