Tomori"The world is so far away for me." "A solitary star just spins and spins."
Tomori"Even though I grew as much as I possibly could," "I wasn't able to become human." "Pools of spring sunlight—"?
Taki...
Rāna...
Taki...
Tomori...!
Tomori"But I still have to sing this song."
Tomori"I didn't want to hurt anyone." "I didn't want to let go of their hands."
Tomori"I'm sorry," "my dear ones." "The things I want to convey to you always get stuck in my throat, and never become voiced."
Tomori"At the very least, I want to leave this song behind!"
Mutsumi...
After the Live Show
RiNG - Emergency Stairs
TakiI thought that I was thinking of you, Tomori, but I wasn't really thinking at all. I'm sorry for bringing in Umiri without asking.
TakiYou said you hate bands, but you performed anyways... I couldn't understand what you were thinking at all...
TakiBut... after hearing your song, I do understand.
TomoriTaki-chan...
TomoriThank you... for coming.
TakiTomori...

AnonDon't shout! You'll scare me.
TomoriPlay guitar!!
Anon...!
TomoriAh... Anon-chan! Wait...!
TomoriHaa... Haa...!
AnonWhy are you chasing after me? You already have a guitarist, don't you?
TomoriYou said, "Let's do it together!" About the band! To me!
AnonIt's not like I actually wanted to do it...
TomoriThen why did you invite me?
AnonWhat does it matter?
TomoriAnon-chan!
Anon...
AnonIt was all to look good! I just wanted everyone to think I was amazing!
TomoriAnon-chan, you were struggling with all your might... So was Soyo-chan. So was I. Because we're all lost...
TomoriTogether... Let's be lost together.
Anon...
AnonOh, dear. This is all your fault, Tomori-chan.
Soyo...!
AnonSoyo-san, wait. I need to talk to you.
Soyo...
AnonSoyo-san!
SoyoDon't follow me.
AnonI'm gonna follow you until you listen to what I have to say!
AnonSoyo-san! Wait, what's with this apartment...!?
SoyoIt's my home. *Sigh*... Why don't you come in?
Nagasaki's Home - Living Room
AnonHuh~~~? The ceiling is so high! The sofa is huge!
AnonThis is like a super high-class hotel, and there's zero signs that anyone lives here at all... Do you live by yourself?
SoyoI live with my mother. I made some tea.
AnonOh, thanks. This aroma... This is what we both drank the first time we met.
SoyoI'm amazed that you can talk to me. You heard everything about why I joined the band, didn't you?
AnonI did. It made me angry, but it also made me think, "I guess Soyo-san is human, too."
SoyoWhat?
AnonYou're completely different from how you come across. You tell tons of lies. And there's a part of you that's sort of malicious, right?
SoyoAre you trying to pick a fight?
AnonI heard you're lost?
SoyoWhat?
AnonTomori-chan said so. So was Soyo-chan. So was I. We're all lost.
SoyoWhat does that mean?
AnonTomori-chan is waiting. Even if you say you don't need me, I'm still doing it.
SoyoEven though I know you started just to look good.
AnonThat's right. You and I started this band, right?
Soyo...
SoyoIn that case... I'll put an end to it for you.
