Huff... Huff...
Kanade, are you okay...?
You look exhausted. It has been a while since we last went out for a walk.
No, I'm okay...
I can keep going for a bit longer.
Alright. Then, let's keep going. Our goal's just up ahead.
*Nod*
Phew...
I'm tired, but that felt good.
*Nod*
I might fall asleep after I get home and take a shower.
Me too. Now if only the vending machine at the park wasn't sold out of sports drinks.
Still, Kanade, I thought you did great. You had to take a lot fewer breaks compared to before.
You did your best to match my pace that time. I felt a little bad about that actually...
No, don't be sorry.
I'm just happy that you invited me.
But what made you want to go for a walk? Are your shoulders bothering you again?
No, it just felt like too much time had passed since our last walk.
(Also...)
Hey, look! There's a vending machine! Mind if I go see if they have any sports drinks...?
In that case, I'll go with you.
I'll get one for you while I'm at it, so you just rest. There should be a park just around the corner.
Are you sure...?
Well, if you don't mind.
Of course. I'll be right back!
Oh...
Oh...
Umm...
Uhh...
Hello.
Long time no see.
Oh...
Let's try that again...
Okay...
L-Long time no see, Yoisaki.
It's nice to see you too, Kusanagi.
So... What were you doing just now?
Nothing yet...
I'm here to...
Sorry for making you wait, Kusanagi.
Huh? Kanade...?
Oh, Hoshino...
We made plans to practice singing together here today.
I see...
Would you like to listen to us for a bit, Kanade?
I'd love to hear what you think...
Oh, um... Please, if you don't mind!
(I told Ena that I'd wait here, so I guess I can stay until she gets here...)
Yes, okay.
Great! Then, we just need a second to get ready.
Okay, here we go.

(They're harmonizing really well...)
(I can feel my mind and body being enveloped by this gentle warmth...)
They're all looking forward to making their dreams come true by overcoming any obstacles that come their way.
Seeing that made me want to do the same and try just as hard.
(It's like she said.
Everyone's doing their best each day.)
(Thank you for giving me another boost of encouragement, Hoshino, Kusanagi.)
