So, you saw Nagi here?

Yeah. There was a crack in the wall, and then I started hearing someone singing. That was when I saw her. But I think it was just an illusion created by my feelings.

I totally froze up! I was so startled! Seriously, she's still causing all this trouble even when she's gone!

I thought if I brought my partner along, she'd show up again to meet you... But I guess it just doesn't work that way.

Honestly, Dad said she wanted to meet you! And here we are, and she's not here!

An...

No, don't give me that look!

I'm fine! Honest!

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm absolutely sure!

That time, she patted my head like she always used to and...

...she sang with me.

She did...?

Yeah.

(We didn't get a chance to actually talk... But, I think she understood what I wanted to tell her.)

So, I'm okay!

Okay...!

(Remember what I said, Aunt Nagi. I'm gonna catch up to you soon.)

(And...in order to make that happen...)

(I have to...)

(I don't want to put Kohane on a pedestal like I did that time.)

(I don't wanna sit by while she flies higher and higher... I don't wanna feel that pain anymore...)

(So, I have to face up to this.)

(I have to take a hard look at myself, face my problems, and Kohane...)

An? Is something wrong?

Huh? Oh...!

No, sorry! Nothing's wrong!

Thanks for coming along, Kohane!

I got the push I needed because you did.

Really?

Then, I'm glad I came.

Now, let's head back.

You were gonna practice on your own after this, right?

Yeah, I'm having Luka and MEIKO help me with something. Would you like to join us, An?

Are you sure?

Then, if you don't mind...!

Of course!

Oh, we're supposed to meet at MEIKO's—

Then, let's race to see who gets there first! Ready...? Go!

Wait, what...?!

An, that's not fair! You can't just give yourself a head start!

W-Wait for me!

Haha! Try to catch me, Kohane!

I-I'll try...
