*Sigh*

I can't sleep...

What time is it...? Whoa...

It's already one in the morning...?

...

(I actually sent that message...

I really told Kohane to meet me at Vivid Street at eight tomorrow morning.)

*Sigh*

(What am I doing? I haven't been able to stop looking at my messages...)

(I need to sleep since I have to get up early for tomorrow...)

To battle against Kohane...

I thought I was ready for it, but I feel so nervous.

Why am I this spineless...?

*Sigh*

And so unbelievably lame...

(But if I don't buck up, I won't actually be able to face Kohane tomorrow...)

(At times like these...)

I should listen to some music.

A song that'll pump me up...

I know...!

That's it...

I'll listen to the song Toya wrote!

Let's see... It should be somewhere around... Aha!

Yeah...

This really does give you a nice boost of encouragement.

(This song encompasses all of our thoughts and feelings...)

(All the hard work we've been putting in.)

(And where we want to go.)

(But I'm still scared of battling against Kohane. I'm afraid of showing her who I really am.)

(Every time she reaches a new level, I hesitate to congratulate her. I can never feel completely happy.)

(I've been so afraid of how high she's going to go...)

(But...)

(I thought practicing like crazy would help shake this feeling. I believed that was the only way...)

(That fear is what brought me to this point. I'm sitting here right now because of it.)

Thanks for bringing me this far.

But we won't be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND if I don't do this...

(I need to deal with these feelings and say goodbye to the lame, old me once and for all.)

(And...)

(I need to do the same...)

(I need to get over my fears and move forward!)

(I want to be able to look Kohane in the eye. And in order to do that...)

(I have to win against her!)
