Rāna

Cool.

Rāna

I'll play guitar.

Ririko

Ah, Rāna-chan.
Welcome. Here to play guitar again today?

Rāna

Yeah.

Ririko

Everything's all set up, so you can start playing right away.
I'll be in the back, so just call me if you need anything.

Rāna

Okay.

Rāna

Hehe.

Acquaintance Guitarist

Oh~ that's so cool!
You finally got your own guitar.

Rāna

Yes. I got it from my grandma.

Acquaintance Guitarist

Wow, I can tell that guitar's got some years on it.
Rāna-chan, maybe you'll play in a band here someday?

Rāna

Band...

Acquaintance Guitarist

Thank you~!

Rāna

I'll play in a band.

Owner

Is that so?

Owner

Rāna! What about school?

Rāna

Don't care.

Owner

No, you can't do that. Go on, even if you're late.

Rāna

Not going.

Owner

Did something happen at school?
You haven't been going at all lately.

Rāna

School doesn't matter.
I'm going to play in a band here.

Owner

Playing guitar isn't everything.
You need to meet all kinds of people and see all kinds of places too.

Rāna

I'm going to play guitar here forever.

Owner

Don't go throwing around words like "forever" so lightly.

Owner

Sure, maybe you're pretty good at guitar.
But there's so much more you can put into it.
Without any of that, your guitar won't reach anyone.

Rāna

It's okay if no one hears it.

Owner

Don't you want to be in a band?
Then what's the point if you don't even want your bandmates to hear your guitar?

Rāna

Neither my guitar nor my feelings reach anyone.
Only grandma.

Owner

Ririko

Hey, I heard from your grandma.
Since SPACE closed, you haven't been playing guitar.

Ririko

You can't be in a band like that.

Rāna

...

Ririko

Rāna-chan, do you hate guitar?

Rāna

It's boring.

Ririko

Because you've seen more amazing bands than anyone else, Rāna-chan.

Ririko

But you're not gonna find a band if you don't put yourself out there.
You gotta show people what makes your guitar yours.

Ririko

You know Owner's catchphrase, right?
"Did you give it your all?"

Ririko

When you're that absorbed in something you love,
enough to pull everyone around you in, that feeling is bound to get through.

Ririko

And I think your guitar has that power, Rāna-chan.

Ririko

We do open mics here.
Come by whenever you want, and play however you want.

Ririko

Why not let girls looking for bandmates hear what your guitar sounds like?

Rāna

Owner

That place isn't where you belong.

Owner

It's just a stop along the way.

Owner

A place to belong is something you build with other people.
You need to go find those people yourself.

Rāna

Satisfied.

Ririko

Hehe, your guitar really is great, Rāna-chan.
Wait, huh?

Tomori

Um...

Taki

Stray cat, why are you playing guitar here?
Everyone's already gathered in the studio.

Rāna

I'm going now.

Taki

That's not the point... Oh, never mind!
Sorry, Ririko-san. I'll take this stray cat with me.

Ririko

Ahaha, have fun.

Taki

Why does this happen every single time...

Rāna

Riri-chan...

Ririko

...? What's wrong?

Rāna

I found my place.
