Let's see... Where do I begin...?

I don't really know where to start.

There's just so much that I've thought, felt and experienced until now.

Yes, I understand.

So, why don't you start by telling me about what you felt when you decided to start singing...?

Oh, okay...!

That seems like a good starting point.

So, I decided to start singing after seeing An perform at Weekend Garage.

Phew... I think that's about everything.

It's amazing to see just how much happened after I decided to start singing.

Learning how to perform live in front of an audience was one thing, but I forgot how my parents were initially worried about my safety...

Yeah, I forgot about that too.

Didn't we invite them to an event in order to get them to see what street music is really about...?

Yeah, I wanted them to understand that there was nothing dangerous about what I was doing or where I was going.

Which is why I was so happy when my dad came to see us perform. Although, hearing him shout my name was a little embarrassing.

Yeah, and we all introduced ourselves to him afterwards. Remember what happened with Akito when we did?

Akito was so polite that her dad thought he was much older than the rest of us.

Yeah!

That was so funny.

Geez...

You guys don't need to remember stuff like that.

Hehe. Still, I'm really glad that my parents became more comfortable with what I was doing.

Yes, I was also a little worried, but it's good that everything worked out in the end.

That being said, Azusawa, your dad seems like a very kind person.

Huh? Y-You think so...?

Thanks.

He does show his kindness in a lot of ways. Like teaching me about photography and buying me cakes from the store.

But he does also worry a lot sometimes...

And he has every right to worry!

I mean, if I had a daughter as cute as you, I wouldn't want anything happening to her!

It's also proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You both seem nice and polite on the outside...

But you don't hold back when push comes to shove...!

What?

(I-I'm like him...?)

Are we really that alike...?

Huh?

No, I'm sorry! I take that back...!

What? No, I don't dislike the thought!

It just sort of makes a lot of different emotions stir inside of me...

But more than anything, I think I feel happy because I've always somewhat wanted to grow up to be like my dad...

Really?

Yeah. My dad always gets really excited whenever he talks about photography or Count Pearl... So excited that he forgets about everything else that's happening.

But I've always envied how he's so passionate about certain things.

I see...

So you've always admired the way he lives his life and looked up to him in that respect.

Yeah!

Hehe. You really have a great dad.

Actually, Kohane, you're also a lot like your mom...

What?

She is?

Yeah!

For one, you're both really cute!

When you showed me that picture of her the other day, I thought you were both just too adorable!

S-Stop it, An...

Still, my mom would really enjoy hearing you say that—

Hey, I thought we were here to talk about our feelings and stuff.

Oh.

Umm... Sorry, Aoyagi.

I'm guessing none of that really helps...

No, that's not true.

As I mentioned a little earlier, I want to do everything in my power to understand everyone's thoughts and feelings.

So, anything regarding your upbringing, your family and those around you are valuable pieces of information to me.

If possible, I'd like you to tell me more.

Okay...

Thanks, Aoyagi.

Then, I'll tell you more about my family.

Let's see... What haven't I mentioned?
