**[00:02] Soyo**
Why did you do "Haru Hikage"?!
**[00:05] Soyo**
You said we weren't going to.
**[00:08] Taki**
I never said that.
**[00:12] Soyo**
Saki-chan was crying.
**[00:14] Anon**
What? She was here?
**[00:17] Soyo**
Do you understand how hurt she is?
**[00:19] Taki**
What about it?
**[00:19] Soyo**
What?
**[00:20] Taki**
So what if she's crying?
**[00:22] Taki**
It's got nothing to do with us, right?
**[00:26] Soyo**
You're awful!
**[00:28] Anon**
Soyo-san!

The concert yesterday was amazing!
**[02:07] Mai**
Tomori-chan, you really were on vocals!

**[02:10] Eri**
It was like you were
someone I'd never met before!
**[02:11] Kanako**
I mean, you were just so cool!
**[02:13] Kanako**
Both Tomori-chan and Anon-chan were amazing!
**[02:17] Anon**
I could see all of you from the stage!
**[02:19] Mai; Eri; Kanako**
What? Really?
**[02:21] Mai**
I want us to hurry up and play live, too!
**[02:23] Eri**
I know, right?
**[02:24] Kanako**
For real.
**[02:25] Eri**
I'm itching to do it.
**[02:26] Mai**
It was so moving!
**[02:28] Anon**
Soyo-san is kind. She'll forgive us.
**[02:34] Anon**
I wonder why Sakiko-chan came.
**[02:45] Anon**
Did you know she was here at Haneoka?
**[02:50] Tomori**
In the class next door to us.
**[02:56] Anon**
Do you want to go see her?
**[02:58] Anon**
I can't stop thinking about it, either!
**[03:10] student A**
Sakiko-chan?
**[03:12] student A**
Who is that? Do you know her?
**[03:14] student B**
Maybe she's in a different class?
**[03:15] Anon**
What?
**[03:18] Anon**
I'm asking about Sakiko-chan.
You know? Sakiko-chan.
**[03:20] Anon**
She plays piano in the music room sometimes.
**[03:23] Anon**
She's super good at it!
**[03:25] student A**
Have you heard of her?
**[03:26] student B**
No.
**[03:27] Anon**
What? You don't know her?
**[03:28] student B**
Maybe she's in the jazz club?
**[03:31] Anon**
I don't think she plays jazz.
**[03:35] Anon**
Sakiko-chan!
**[03:38] student A**
Oh, did you mean Togawa-san?
**[03:40] student B**
So her first name is Sakiko?

Did you bomb your first live performance
**[03:53] Umiri**
and come running back,
tail between your legs?
**[03:56] Taki**
It was a huge success.
**[03:59] Umiri**
I see.
**[04:00] Umiri**
Then, here. To celebrate.

I seriously can't get
in touch with Soyo-san.
**[04:11] Anon**
Three days is getting a little...
**[04:13] [Messenger] text; top to bottom**
Don't be late
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
I should be there right on time!
Don't worry!
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
Soyo
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
I'm almost there.
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
Taki
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
I can see you, Soyo
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
Soyo
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
Rāna-chan, Taki-chan, I'm behind you
**[04:13] [Messenger] text**
What do we do today?
**[04:13] Anon**
Usually, she replies right away.
**[04:19] Anon**
We just need to talk to Soyo-san.
**[04:22] Anon**
I wonder if Ricky can get in touch with her.
**[04:31] Taki**
Just leave her alone.
**[04:32] Anon**
What?
**[04:32] Anon**
What are we gonna do
about our next performance and stuff?
**[04:35] Taki**
We'll perform again.
**[04:36] Anon**
What about Soyo-san?
**[04:39] Anon**
Are you listening?
**[04:40] Tomori**
What about Rāna-chan?
**[04:41] Anon**
Do you think she even looks at her phone?
**[04:45] Ririko**
If you're asking about Rāna-chan,
she was here yesterday!
**[04:47] Anon**
What?
**[04:47] Anon**
When does Rāna-chan
usually come here anyway?
**[04:51] Ririko**
I think it's just whenever she
feels like playing guitar.
**[04:53] Ririko**
For that other concert, she appeared
and disappeared whenever she wanted, right?
**[04:56] Anon**
The other concert?
**[04:58] customer**
Excuse me!
**[04:59] Ririko**
Coming!
**[05:05] Anon**
Hey!
**[05:06] Anon**
We haven't figured anything—
**[05:07] Taki**
She's the one who's angry.
**[05:09] Anon**
Ricky!
**[05:13] Anon**
Everyone just does whatever they want.
**[05:18] Tomori**
I want to apologize.
**[05:20] Anon**
What?
**[05:21] Tomori**
To Soyo-chan.
**[05:23] Tomori**
I don't know if apologizing
is the right thing to do,
**[05:27] Tomori**
but it's true that we hurt her.
**[05:32] Tomori**
Everyone's going
in different directions again.
**[05:38] tomori**
If things keep going like this, the band...
**[05:46] Anon**
Tomori-chan?
**[05:57] Anon**
Wait!
**[05:58] wind ensemble B**
That part is hard, isn't it?
**[06:00] wind ensemble A**
It really is.
**[06:02] wind ensemble B**
Right?
**[06:03] Tomori**
Excuse me.
**[06:04] Tomori**
Is Soyo Nagasaki-chan here?
**[06:06] Anon**
I'm sorry. We won't stay for long!
**[06:08] wind ensemble A**
Soyo-chan stayed home today.
**[06:10] Anon**
What?
**[06:10] wind ensemble B**
Her cold has lasted a long time now, right?
**[06:24] Anon**
I wonder if Soyo-san really has a cold.
**[06:33] Anon**
The station's this way. Where are you going?
**[06:43] Tomori**
Home.
**[06:46] Anon**
Tomori-chan, your place
is really close to Tsukinomori!
**[06:59] Anon**
Wow.
**[07:14] Tomori**
Something to drink.
**[07:18] Anon**
Milk? How nostalgic!
**[07:21] Anon**
Thank you!
**[07:30] Anon**
Could it be... Are all of these lyrics?
**[07:32] Anon**
Bugs?!
**[07:37] Tomori**
Kabuto beetle.
**[07:38] Anon**
Bugs are bugs.
**[07:41] Tomori**
Saki-chan is...
**[07:44] Tomori**
she's the one who brought me
to a bright place.
**[07:49] Tomori**
She brought everyone else, too.
**[07:53] Tomori**
When she started CRYCHIC...
**[07:56] Tomori**
it felt so very warm.
**[08:01] Tomori**
All of it...
**[08:04] Tomori**
was because Saki-chan was there...
**[08:07] Tomori**
and yet...
**[08:10] Tomori**
"Haru Hikage."
**[08:12] Tomori**
When I sang it... it hurt her.
**[08:19] [Messenger] text; top to bottom**
Could we at least meet so that I can apologize?
**[08:19] [Messenger] text**
I was surprised, too. I didn't know
things would turn out like that...
**[08:19] [Messenger] text; top; large**
Saki-chan
**[08:19] [Messenger] text**
If I'd known, I'd have stopped them.
We'd finished our set and then they
suddenly started playing it
**[08:19] [Messenger] text**
I'm sorry I couldn't stop them...
**[08:19] [Messenger] text**
Saki-chan, you're angry, aren't you...
**[08:19] [Messenger] text**
But I want you to believe me. We
really weren't supposed to play "Haru Hikage."
**[08:21] [Messenger] text**
I think it's natural to be angry
**[08:21] [Messenger] text**
We won't play it without permission anymore
**[08:22] [Messenger] text**
I'll make the other girls promise not to play it again
**[08:29] [Messenger] text**
So can't we just talk a little?
**[09:04] Sakiko**
I see you love stars as much as ever, Uika.
**[09:08] Uika**
Saki-chan!
**[09:12] Sakiko**
I'm sorry.
**[09:14] Sakiko**
I know I'm the one who invited you out,
but I have to get back soon.
**[09:16] Uika**
It's all right. I'm glad to see you,
even if it's not for very long.
**[09:21] Uika**
It's been about a year
since we've seen each other, right?
**[09:24] Uika**
Thanks for calling me.
**[09:25] Uika**
It came out of nowhere,
so I was surprised, but I was happy, too.
**[09:27] Sakiko**
It's nothing that requires thanks.
**[09:30] Uika**
When I look at the messages from you,
it always gives me courage.
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
Saki-chan, it's been a while. My debut's been confirmed!
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
Debut? Really?!
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
Yeah. I was told not to tell anyone
other than my family, but I just
had to tell you, Saki-chan
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
Congratulations
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
You're finally going to be the
pro that you've yearned so long
to be. As long as you stay your
positive self, no matter what,
you'll be just fine.
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
Part of me is anxious about
whether I'll be able to make it though.
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
There's no need to worry.
**[09:34] [Messenger] text**
Thanks. It's because you tell me
things like that that I can keep going,
Saki-chan
**[09:35] Uika**
The ones you sent when
my debut was confirmed...
**[09:37] Uika**
"You're finally going to be the pro
that you've yearned so long to be."
**[09:40] Uika**
That one always—
**[09:41] Sakiko**
You memorized it?
**[09:42] Uika**
I told you. I read them all the time.
**[09:47] Sakiko**
Is your work going well?
**[09:50] Uika**
It's going all right.
**[09:52] Uika**
What about you, Saki-chan?
You're in a band, right?
**[09:54] Sakiko**
What?
**[09:55] Uika**
Your concert last year was amazing.
**[09:58] Uika**
What was the name again? Cry...
**[10:02] Sakiko**
Please stop talking about that.
**[10:09] Uika**
Sorry.
**[10:11] Sakiko**
It's all right.
**[10:14] Sakiko**
Why did you want to come to this roof?
**[10:18] Uika**
Because it's close to the sky.
**[10:22] Sakiko**
We always looked up at the sky
together in the summer, didn't we?
**[10:26] Uika**
That was so much fun.
**[10:28] Uika**
When summer came, you
would come to the island.
**[10:54] Uika**
I never imagined that
I'd be able to be your friend.
**[10:59] Sakiko**
You invited me to go
bug hunting, didn't you?
**[11:02] Uika**
What? You invited me, Saki-chan.
**[11:04] Sakiko**
Did I?
**[11:05] Uika**
You did.
**[11:06] Uika**
And then a huge spider popped out
and you went, "Aaargh!"
**[11:10] Sakiko**
That was you, Uika!
**[11:16] Sakiko**
It feels so nostalgic.
**[11:34] Sakiko**
It's time for me to go.
**[11:39] Sakiko**
Uika,
**[11:40] Sakiko**
there is something I very much
wanted to discuss with you.

Soyo-chan!
**[12:23] student D**
Is your cold better?
**[12:24] Soyo**
Sorry for worrying you.
**[12:26] student**
I took notes for you while you were out.
**[12:28] Soyo**
Thank you!
**[12:29] student**
It's nothing.
**[12:30] student**
You're always letting me
see your notes, after all.
**[12:31] student**
Soyo-chan's notes are really—
**[12:37] club member A**
We finished early today.
**[12:40] club member B**
Everyone was playing really well!
**[12:41] Soyo**
We were all able to focus well.
**[12:43] club member A**
Maybe it was from rehearsing
our parts separately.
**[12:45] club member B**
It's all thanks to you, Soyo-chan.
**[12:46] Soyo**
It's not like that at all!
**[12:48] Soyo**
I think it's because everyone
practiced so hard at home.
**[12:52] club member B**
You think so?
**[12:54] club member A**
Compliment me, too!
**[12:55] Soyo**
You worked really hard
at this morning's practice!
**[13:05] Soyo**
I was so surprised the other day!
**[13:07] Soyo**
Suddenly seeing that you
and Saki-chan came to the concert...
**[13:10] Soyo**
Did you bring her there, Mutsumi-chan?
**[13:14] Soyo**
Since Saki-chan came with you,
**[13:17] Soyo**
do you think that means she's thinking
about us more positively?
**[13:21] Mutsumi**
It isn't that.
**[13:25] Soyo**
Mutsumi-chan, you really just say whatever
it is you're thinking, don't you?
**[13:29] Soyo**
It's all things you don't want me to do...
**[13:31] Soyo**
even though you won't
do anything I ask you to.
**[13:40] Soyo**
Mutsumi-chan, I want you to help me.
**[13:44] Soyo**
You know where Saki-chan lives, don't you?
**[13:48] Soyo**
Please.
**[13:52] Soyo**
It's your fault, Mutsumi-chan.
**[13:54] Soyo**

You have so many messages here!

Are you making sure to read them?
**[14:14] Rāna**
I read them.
**[14:16] Ririko**
If you read them in the Message Center,
they don't show they've been read.
**[14:19] Rāna**
"Show they've been read"?
**[14:20] Ririko**
Still, to think you'd join
a band, Rāna-chan.
**[14:24] Rāna**
There are interesting women there.
**[14:27] Ririko**
Don't say "women."
**[14:29] Ririko**
You mean "girls," right?
**[14:31] Rāna**
"Girls"?

She said she wants to "do the band."

If we don't hurry up,
Rāna-chan will disappear.
**[15:04] Anon**

**[15:06] Anon**
Thanks for texting!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[15:09] Anon**
Where's Soyo-san?
**[15:13] Anon**
Should we wait a little?
**[15:14] Taki**
It doesn't really matter, does it?
**[15:16] Anon**
We haven't played since the concert.
**[15:17] Anon**
If we start without Soyo-san,
she might not like it.
**[15:19] Anon**
It'd be better to wait
until everyone's here.
**[15:21] Taki**
If she wants to play, then she'll show up.
**[15:23] Anon**
That's not what I'm talking about.
**[15:29] Tomori**
Yes.
**[15:30] Tomori**
It'd be better if Soyo-chan were here, too.
**[15:35] Anon**
See? Tomori-chan agrees!
**[15:40] Tomori**
But... practicing is important, too.

I'm with Soyo and we're headed

**[17:13] Soyo**
Saki-chan!
**[17:15] Soyo**
Thank you for seeing me today.
**[17:21] Soyo**
Don't be angry with Mutsumi-chan.
**[17:23] Soyo**
I said I wanted to go to your house
and forced her to help me.
**[17:34] Soyo**
I'm sorry.
**[17:35] Soyo**
I just really needed to meet
with you and apologize.
**[17:48] Soyo**
We really weren't planning
to play "Haru Hikage"!
**[17:52] Soyo**
That day, we were only
going to play one song.
**[17:54] Soyo**
I didn't want to play it, either!
**[17:57] Soyo**
But then they started playing it,
and I had no choice.
**[18:05] Soyo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:07] Soyo**
We really hurt you, didn't we, Saki-chan?
**[18:10] Soyo**
I think it's natural
for you not to forgive us.
**[18:14] Soyo**
After all, we played a song that was so
precious to all of us without your permission!
**[18:20] Soyo**
I'm truly, deeply sorry.
**[18:23] Sakiko**
You act as though you're helping me,
but this is really all for you.
**[18:25] Soyo**
What?
**[18:25] Sakiko**
If this is about playing the song,
then please, feel free. Do as you like with it.
**[18:29] Soyo**
But "Haru Hikage" is CRYCHIC's special—
**[18:32] Sakiko**
Clinging so tightly
to all of this is quite unseemly.
**[18:36] Sakiko**
Why don't you just forget it already?
**[18:43] Soyo**
Why... Why would you say to forget it?
**[18:48] Soyo**
We were all such good friends, weren't we?
**[18:51] Soyo**
Every day was fun. We were all together.
**[18:55] Soyo**
It's just wrong for us all
to split up like this!
**[18:58] Soyo**
"When you're in a band, your fates are one."
**[19:01] Soyo**
You're the one who said that, Saki-chan.
**[19:04] Sakiko**
Fate...
**[19:07] Sakiko**
Then what is that other band?
**[19:10] Soyo**
You have it all wrong!
**[19:11] Sakiko**
What do I have wrong?
**[19:12] Sakiko**
Your words and actions
contradict each other.
**[19:16] Sakiko**
CRYCHIC has been destroyed.
**[19:18] Sakiko**
It will never be revived.
**[19:24] Soyo**
Why...
**[19:28] Soyo**
Please! I want to give CRYCHIC another go!
**[19:32] Soyo**
I want to go back to
when we all had so much fun!
**[19:35] Soyo**
Tomori-chan and Taki-chan want that, too.
**[19:38] Soyo**
I asked Mutsumi-chan to join the band,
and I planned to invite you, too, Saki-chan!
**[19:42] Sakiko**
Is that true?
**[19:45] Mutsumi**
I...
**[19:47] Soyo**
What?
**[19:59] Soyo**
Why...
**[20:01] Soyo**
Is it only me?
**[20:04] Soyo**
But, you were the one
who started CRYCHIC, Saki-chan.
**[20:08] Sakiko**
That's why I ended it with my own hands.
**[20:11] Soyo**
It hasn't ended!
**[20:13] Soyo**
I...
**[20:14] Soyo**
I've tried so hard all
this time for CRYCHIC!
**[20:18] Sakiko**
No one asked you to do that.
**[20:21] Sakiko**
This is my final word on this.
**[20:23] Sakiko**
This time, make sure that you
do not involve me any further.
**[20:33] Soyo**
Wait.
**[20:36] Soyo**
Please, don't go!
**[20:38] Soyo**
You have it wrong!
I really care about everyone!
**[20:43] Soyo**
I love them!
**[20:47] Soyo**
No!
**[20:48] Soyo**
Please!
**[20:50] Soyo**
Saki-chan, without you and the others I...
