Anon
(Tomori-chan's been down since morning...)
Anon
(It seemed like she hadn't let go of the band yet...)
Anon
(Maybe I'll go check on her at the astronomy club.)
Sakiko
Have you found any band members?
Anon
Ah... yes.
Nagasaki... Nagasaki Soyo-chan.

Tomori-chan, about yesterday...
Anon
H-Hey.
There's no need to be so surprised...
Tomori
No, it's nothing... Ah!
Anon
You dropped your notebook...

(This is the lyrics she showed me before, "Haruhikage"...)

Tomori-chan...
If there's something you're thinking about, saying it out loud is the best thing to do.

Student A
Another girl from Tsukinomori.
Didn't someone from there come here the other day, too?
Soyo
It's been a while.
Soyo
Wait...!
Please, I want to talk!
Sakiko
I have no business with you.
Soyo
I've been looking for you all this time!
Soyo
Why... did you change schools?
Soyo
Was it because of CRYCHIC?
Sakiko
It had nothing to do with that.
Now, please don't involve yourself with me any further!
Soyo
Saki-chan...!
Soyo
...? Anon-chan...?
Anon
Soyo-san, where are you? Can you come to RiNG?

RiNG - Café

Anon
Come on, hurry up!
Taki
Hey!? I'm working right now...
Anon
But if we don't work this out,
Tomori-chan won't ever be able to be in a band!
Anon
Okay, talk it out!
Hey, Soyo-san, you sit down, too.
Soyo
Hold on a minute...
Anon-chan, did you bring Tomori-chan here for us?
Anon
Yeah, you should really talk it through.
Soyo
I see.
Thank you, Anon-chan.
Soyo
And Tomori-chan, thank you for coming too.
I also wanted to continue yesterday's conversation.
Soyo
You asked why CRYCHIC broke up, didn't you?
Soyo
After that day, you stopped coming to rehearsals, too.
And, little by little, we stopped being able to get everyone together.
Taki
It's Sakiko's fault.
She's the one who said she was quitting out of nowhere.
Soyo
I think... she had her reasons for that.
Taki
What reasons?
Soyo
I don't know, but...
Tomori
It's because...
I couldn't sing well at our live show...
Tomori
That's why Saki-chan stopped coming.
Anon
Why would you think that?
That song, "Haruhikage," is super good.
Taki
Outsiders can keep their mouths shut.
Taki
Yes, we all know that already.
Soyo
Tomori-chan, so that's what you've been thinking.
Thank you for telling us.
Soyo
But you know, I don't want you to blame yourself any more...
Soyo
After all, it wasn't anyone's fault.
I don't want you to start hating bands!
Soyo
Taki-chan, you feel the same, don't you?
Soyo
Taki-chan was
waiting for you to come to rehearsals, Tomori-chan.
Tomori
You aren't angry at me?
Taki
I could never be angry with you!
For me... it wasn't the fight,
it was the fact that you stopped coming that hit hardest...
Tomori
I knew it. It's my fault...
Soyo
No, it isn't.
After all, Taki-chan really loves you, Tomori-chan.
Soyo
Hey,
you think we can start over again?
Soyo
With the band.
Me and Tomori-chan and Taki-chan.
Soyo
We misunderstood each other and missed our chance to connect. But now, we finally understand.
And yet, it's just too sad if we end up going our separate ways like this...
Soyo
Let's try it again, together!
Soyo
That's right...!
And this time, we'll be sure to talk things out!
Soyo
If we do that, I'm sure we'll be all right...
Anon
Um... What about me?
Tomori
Yeah.
You too, Anon-chan. Let's do it...
Soyo
Our whole lives...?
Tomori
Yeah... I just don't want to go through that again...
Losing the band...
Taki
I swear. If it's with you, Tomori-chan, I wouldn't mind doing it all my life.
Soyo
I swear, too.
Anon
H-H-Hang on!
Our whole lives!? She's talking about our whole lives!
Anon
Do you know the average lifespan?
They say that when we're old ladies,
we'll probably be living into our nineties, you know?
Anon
And you never know what's going to happen in life...
Are you going to play drums even when you're a grandma?
Anon
Huh... Ah, um...
My whole life... A lifetime, huh...?
???
...!
Soyo
It's all right. You don't have to force yourself...
Anon
O-Okay, I get it, I get it!
We'll start with short-term goals... Why don't we start with a week?
Anon
Then, a month!
Anon
Then, what about until we do a live performance?
Anon
I don't know about spending a lifetime on this,
but to start with, let's try to do a live performance!
All of us together! Okay?
Tomori
Then, staying until our first live performance is non-negotiable.
Anon
*Sigh*... You really are super serious about every little thing...
Oh, I'm just kidding! I'll work really hard!
Taki
A lifetime is a lifetime, you know?
You sure you want that girl in the band?
???
Lifetime...
???
What an interesting woman.

Classmate A
Morning~
Did something good happen?
Anon
What? No, nothing happened.
Anon
Ah, Tomori-chan, morning!
Hey, what should we do about rehearsals? Our band rehearsals!
Classmates
Band!?
Classmate A
Tomori-chan, you're in a band?
Classmate B
We didn't think you were interested.
Classmate C
So you actually like it?
Anon
(Huh...? What about me...?)
Classmate A
Tomori-chan, can you play an instrument?

Taki
(I can be in a band with Tomori again...)
Umiri
You're in high spirits.
Taki
...!? Umiri...
I'm not.
Umiri
Really?
I didn't know that nailing your air drums
first thing in the morning was part of your routine.
Taki
Umiri, what bands are you with today?
Umiri
"Notoria," "Jasmine＆Husky,"
"DISRUPTION."
Taki
Even if you tell me the band names, I'm not gonna know them.
Umiri
You're the one who asked.
Taki-san, will you be working?
Taki
Day off.
But I'm still going to RiNG.
Umiri
Did you find new band members?
Taki
That's not it.
Umiri
Then, your band is getting back together? That's great.

Soyo
So, with both Taki-chan and Tomori-chan,
we are going to play in a band again.
Soyo
Yup.
And I found Saki-chan, too.
Soyo
Saki-chan was at Haneoka.
Soyo
Once everyone's gathered, I'll ask you over too, Mutsumi-chan.
Just wait a little, okay?
Soyo
Hehe, finally, I think we've taken a step forward.
