*Sigh*

Nothing's been going well lately...

3
Character icon
An

(Especially during team practices when my mind gets so caught up in whatever this hazy feeling is...)

4
Character icon
An

(Seriously, what is this thing?)

5
Character icon
An

*Sigh*

6
Character icon
An

I don't know why I'm feeling this either, but I'm guessing what just happened has something to do with it...

Kohane

————! ——————!!

8
Character icon
Kohane

————! ————~~~!!

9
Character icon
An

(This is nothing like her usual self. Did she just figure out how to commit to herself...?)

10
Character icon
An

(I don't believe it. She changed that much in this little time...?)

11
Character icon
Kohane

——! ————!

12
Character icon
An

This is the real Kohane...

13
Character icon
An

(I'm glad Kohane's finally figured out how to have confidence in herself.)

14
Character icon
An

(And I helped her reach that point...)

15
Character icon
An

If you're still worried about what's gonna happen...

16
Character icon
An

Just listen to what I'm about to say.

17
Character icon
An

Let's believe in what An Shiraishi has to say, the girl who absolutely loves the way you, Kohane Azusawa, sing!

18
Character icon
An

I understand how it's hard for you to believe in yourself, but it's easy for you to believe what I'm saying, right?

19
Character icon
An

No matter what happens, I, An Shiraishi, will always believe in your ability to sing.

20
Character icon
Kohane

An...

21
Character icon
Kohane

I... I'll believe in you, An!

22
Character icon
An

(That's right.

I fulfilled my duties as her partner for once.)

23
Character icon
An

(I'm glad that I did and also really happy about Kohane being able to show in that event who she really is.)

24
Character icon
An

(But as amazing as STAY GOLDEN was, my mind's not really in a mood to celebrate.)

25
Character icon
An

*Sigh*

Why is that...?

26
Character icon
An

Times like these...

27
Character icon
An

(Haruka's the best person to ask about these things since she's gone through so much with her team... No, groupmates...)

28
Character icon
An

(But she's probably super busy right now.)

29
Character icon
An

Who else can I talk to...?

30
Character icon
An

(Mizuki's gone today too...

Come to think of it, Mizuki hasn't been to school in a while...)

31
Character icon
An

(But it'd be kinda bad to dump this on someone when they're actually eager to go to school for a change...)

32
Character icon
An

(So who else...?)

33
Character icon
An

(That leaves Dad, Akito or Toya...)

34
Character icon
An

(I did already talk to them once about helping Kohane have more confidence in herself.)

35
Character icon
An

(And there's also...)

36
Character icon
An

Hehe...

37
Character icon
An

I have more people to talk to than I realized.

38
Character icon
An

(I'll just try asking as many of them as I can about whatever it is that's bothering me.)

39
Character icon
An

(But I don't really know how to describe this to someone right now...)

40
Character icon
An

Okay, let's start with that...!

41
Character icon
An

(I'll try to learn a little more about this hazy feeling and figure out a way to describe it better.)

42
Character icon
An

(And I don't want to ruin all the progress Kohane's made since she really seems to believe in herself now.)

43
Character icon
An

Oh, I still have plenty of time...

I should go buy lunch while I can!
