SoyoI remember feeling so lonely when my mom and dad got divorced.

SoyoI ended up living with my mom, but...

SoyoMy mom worked hard, and our family became very wealthy.

SoyoWe moved to a beautiful home, and my life changed significantly.

SoyoBut, as my mom got busier, she often didn't come home.

SoyoI was always alone in the beautiful home.

SoyoI enrolled at Tsukinomori because it was my mom's wish.

SoyoI think my mom had a longing for the prestigious Tsukinomori.

SoyoHowever, an unfamiliar rich girls' school is quite daunting to me...

SoyoIf someone needs me, maybe the loneliness will disappear.

SoyoThinking that way, I started cooking meals, doing laundry, and taking over household chores in place of my mom.

SoyoIn the wind instrument club, which I joined because my classmate invited me, I worked hard practicing the contrabass.

SoyoI've become someone my mom can rely on, and I've found my place at school too...

SoyoBut, the loneliness never faded.

SoyoSomewhere in my heart, I felt like this wasn't the place where I belonged.

SoyoI wondered if the loneliness would never fade away, until that moment...

SakikoSoyo Nagasaki-san? I am Sakiko Togawa from Class C.

SakikoThis is a bit abrupt, but do you have any interest in bands?

SoyoThe first time I met Saki-chan, was after the wind instrument club's performance at the Tsukinomori Music Festival.

SoyoShe called out to me, and I thought if she needed me... Then, I decided to join the band.

SoyoI didn't have any special feelings about the band, and I wasn't expecting anything, either...

SakikoOnce again, thank you all for coming today.

SakikoI have been greatly looking forward to meeting all of you!

SakikoStarting now, we are a band... We'll play music together and our destinies will become one!

SoyoI found myself being excited at Saki-chan's words.

SoyoIt was the first time in my life, that someone told me about destiny... Somehow, it felt a little ticklish. And it felt warm.

SoyoAfter that, it was always fun.

SakikoIf we send this video... it'll be our first live performance!

TakiWe haven't gotten the gig yet. And we have to practice more...

Soyo...

TomoriSoyo-chan...?

SoyoCreating account... Okay, it's done! Everyone, look over here!

Everyone...?

SakikoWhat was that...?

SoyoWell, since we decided on our band name, I thought we should start social media.

SoyoWhen the five of us were together, I never felt lonely.

SoyoGoing to karaoke, practicing in the studio, chatting at a café, standing on stage together... All of them became irreplaceable memories.

SoyoAnd yet...

SakikoI am quitting CRYCHIC.

TakiTomori was waiting for you!

Taki、Sakiko...! ...

SoyoWait...! Let's talk this out! After all, we've had so much fun getting to where we are... Mutsumi-chan, you think so too, don't you?

Mutsumi...

MutsumiI... I've never thought being in this band was fun, not even once.

SoyoWhat...?

SoyoThat... wasn't us disbanding. It isn't... over yet.

SoyoWe failed to connect with each other, that's all. We could still be friends again...

Nagasaki's Home - Soyo's Room

Soyo(Even after a year had passed, I still couldn't give up on CRYCHIC...)

Soyo(CRYCHIC can start over again... I'm certain that everyone wants that...)

SoyoI mean... we were all so...

SakikoAll you think about is yourself.

SoyoThat's not true... I... It was for all of us... All this time...

SoyoAll this time...

TakiThat stray cat, she called us all to come out with no warning, then left with no warning.

AnonAnd what did she mean by, "Want to do the band?"

TakiTalking about "interesting" and "boring." Whatever Tomori may do, it's none of her—

AnonHey, I'm asking you a question!

TakiWhat?

AnonLike I said, what did she mean by, "Want to do the band?"

TakiNo idea.

AnonRāna-chan aside, we really need to do something about Soyo-san...

TakiJust leave her alone.

AnonThat again? Hey, tell me where Soyo-san lives!

TakiWhat?

AnonNow that things are like this, all we can do is go there, right? We don't know when she'll go back to school again. And if she really does have a cold, then we'll be checking on her—

TakiNo idea.

AnonWhat? Is that even possible!?

Tomori...

TakiIf anyone did know, it'd be Mutsumi. But she's...

Anon?

TomoriIn our last band... she played guitar...

AnonOh...

Tomori...

TakiTomori?

TomoriSoyo-chan might not come anymore...

TomoriRāna-chan too... If I'm in the band, then they...

TomoriI... hurt Saki-chan, too... I hurt everyone...

TomoriMaybe... it was wrong for me to be in a band...

Anon、Taki...!

TakiThat's not true!

TakiReally. It isn't wrong for you to be in a band, Tomori.

TomoriBut, everyone's going in different directions again... If things keep going like this, the band...

TakiFine. I'll handle it. Tomori, you don't have to worry!

TomoriTaki-chan...

Taki...

Taki*Sigh*...

TakiBig sis. There's something I'd like to ask you...

Civic Hall

Wind Instrument Club Member AThe performance starts at two, right?

Wind Instrument Club Member BI'm so nervous...

SoyoRight? We should eat lunch now while we have the chance...

Soyo...

SoyoYou went to all the trouble of asking your older sister about today's regular performance?

Taki...

SoyoSo, what do you want?

TakiWhat are you going to do about the band?

SoyoNot my problem. It's got nothing to do with me anymore.

TakiWhat? You told Tomori, didn't you? You said you'd be in it your whole life... What happened to that promise?

Soyo"Promise"...? That was just a lie!

SoyoTaki-chan, that lie was just to keep you and Tomori-chan in the band.

Taki...!

SoyoIf we stayed on different paths, I thought it would cause problems for every one of CRYCHIC.

SoyoI wasn't expecting Anon-chan and Rāna-chan to join.

TakiBut you and Anon are...

SoyoShe was useful, so I was nice to her. But we don't need either of them in CRYCHIC, right?

Taki...! Are you serious...?

TakiYou were so desperate to keep the band going. You're telling me that was all a lie...?

Soyo...

TakiTomori! Agonized over how to keep the band going! She suffered so much!

TakiYou knew that, and you still betrayed her!?

SoyoThat's right.

TakiYou're horrible.

SoyoSo are you, Taki-chan.

TakiWhat...

SoyoTaki-chan... You're fine as long as you have Tomori-chan, right?

Taki...!

Taki...
