You're doing great, Hona!
You've been staying in rhythm on your bass drum while even hitting all the backbeats!
Great!
Nice work! You sounded amazing just now, Hona! You've come so far in just two weeks!
Thank you, Rin.
I've been recording myself during these training sessions to do a before and after comparison... And I was amazed to hear how different I sound now.
This means I should do okay tomorrow when we all play together, right...?
Yeah...!
You just gotta keep this up and keep building confidence in yourself!
I agree. Thank you, Rin.
Oh, come in!
Um... Is now a good time?
KAITO?
Hm? What's up?
Aren't you assigned to Shih today?
I am, but Shiho finished practicing a little while ago...
I was wondering how you were doing since you ran late today...
Oh...
Hehe. Rin told me before we started practicing about how she first went to see Shiho by mistake.
Haha...
B-But it all worked out because Hona's such a great student!
Okay. As long as you're okay with it, Honami...
Not a problem!
Alright, that's good to hear...
And you finally get to play as a band tomorrow. Good luck...
Thank you very much.
I'll do my best to show how far I've come!
*Sigh*
Another exhausting day...
...
But we finally get to play as a band tomorrow...
And I'm sure the others have made significant improvements.
It's been so long since we last played together too. Not once since we started doing these training sessions...
I hope it goes okay...
...
(Shiho's gotten a lot better too.)
(Am I going to be able to keep up with her...? Will I be the foundation that supports our band...?)
(That's all going to become clear tomorrow...)
If I can't...
(We might not be able to get our song to resonate with Saku or that live house's audience...)
(Not only that...)
The promise I made with Ichika and Saki might...
Saki, Honami...
Shiho honestly believes that we possess the ability to prove Saku wrong and get our music to resonate with everyone at that live house.
So, let's do our best... Let's give it everything we have.
Ichika...
I know that we've all been doing our best until now to put on good performances...
But we're going to have to do even more this time.
We'll need to do absolutely everything in our power so that Shiho will be able to play without holding back!
...!
Let's do absolutely everything we possibly can during these next two weeks to give Shiho a chance to play at her very best!!
Leo/need! Here we...!
Go!!
...
(We may also have to show Shiho just how committed we are tomorrow.)
Oh no... My hands are starting to shake...
...
It's okay... Just calm down...
I understand how you all feel.
But we've gotta do this.
...!
Yes, she's right...
(We have to do this...
No matter what.)
...
We'll be fine. I'm sure of it.
So...
I'm gonna do my best tomorrow!
