Hello, KAITO.

Oh, Ichika...

You're here earlier than usual.

Yes, I don't have school today and I was hoping that I could chat with you some before practice.

With me...?

Yes, it's about our show...

As glad as I am that we got through it, I'm worried about how powerless I felt that day.

Be it how I performed or how our song turned out, I want to get better.

I see...

I want to keep practicing so that we can touch people's hearts someday with our music.

So would it be okay if I keep asking you for help from time to time?

Yes, of course. If you're okay with me that is...

Thank you so much...!

There's no need to thank me that much...

But...

Those words really helped me move forward.

They did? Then, I'm glad...

Me too.

You're all so amazing.

Huh?

Whenever we feel lost or hit a wall, you're all there to encourage and cheer us up, right? I don't know what we'd do without you guys.

I mean, we're just doing our job...

No, that's not the whole story.

You and the others have this uncanny ability to express how you feel exactly the way you want to, you know?

The rest of us aren't able to do that yet, which is why I think you're all so incredible.

...

I actually think you girls are the truly incredible ones...

Huh...?

Happiness, fun, sadness, pain, hopes and dreams...

Your music includes this wide palette of emotions, which makes it so we can become whatever we want to be.

You too have an uncanny ability to put how you feel into words, Ichika.

You should be very proud of that.

Oh...

I should?

Is it really okay for me to be proud of that?

I think so.

Plus...

You've finally managed to open that door. Are you really not going to walk through it?

That door... To our dream...

I want to go pro...

I want to go pro with Shiho, Saki and Honami. I want us to go pro as Leo/need...

KAITO...

I'll go through it, and I'm not gonna stop there!

Me too.

(You girls are really something else.)

(Someday...)

(I'll be there singing with you.)
