**[00:03] Gaku**
I can't keep living like this.
**[00:05] Gaku**
Let's set some rules.
**[00:07] Tenn**
I was going to say the same thing.
**[00:11] Ryu**
Like writing our names on our laundry?
**[00:14] Gaku**
That's the worst rule you could've suggested.
**[00:16] Tenn**
Not on my underwear, please.
**[00:21] Ryu**
Where are you going?
**[00:23] Tenn**
I'm going home and packing my things.
**[00:25] Ryu**
I see. Could you pick up some
milk on your way back?
**[00:30] Tenn**
Fine.
**[00:33] Gaku**
At least the concert went well.
**[00:36] Gaku**
I can't believe Tenn cried.
**[00:39] Ryu**
Tenn's not even 20 years old yet.
**[00:42] Ryu**
Of course it was hard on him.
**[00:44] Gaku**
You're right.
**[00:46] Gaku**
He was *so* cute when he cried, though!
**[00:50] Ryu**
Yeah, it was super endearing!
**[00:52] Gaku**
I think he should cry once a month.
**[00:54] Ryu**
I'd like another opportunity
to cheer him up!
**[00:57] Tenn**
I'll be back.
**[01:01] Gaku**
Crap. He's gonna kill us later.
**[01:05] Gaku**
Still, it's nice,
**[01:06] Gaku**
having friends you can love even after
seeing them embarrass themselves.
**[01:10] Ryu**
I feel the same. Every time we hit a rough
patch, I love you guys more and more.

**[02:57] Iori**
* Now that I understand how Nanase-san works,*
* I have to get him under my control.*
**[03:02] Iori**
* That said, what is it about*
* him that affects people?*
**[03:05] Iori**
*Is it his face?*
**[03:06] Riku**
Is something the matter, Iori?
**[03:08] Iori**
Could you try being angry?
**[03:10] Riku**
Huh?
**[03:11] Riku**
Hey, jerk!
**[03:12] Iori**
Now sad.
**[03:13] Riku**
Aw...
**[03:14] Iori**
Now happy.
**[03:15] Riku**
All right!
**[03:19] Riku**
So, what's this about?
**[03:21] Iori**
There's something I'd like
to discuss with you.
**[03:23] Riku**
Huh? What is it?
**[03:24] Iori**
After considering the future,
I'm thinking about quitting IDOLiSH7.
**[03:29] Riku**
What?
**[03:32] Iori**
*This is the face...!*
**[03:34] Riku**
Why? Have you found something
else you want to do?
**[03:38] Riku**
You're the one who said he
didn't want IDOLiSH7 to end.
**[03:41] Iori**
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
**[03:44] Riku**
Oh, really?
**[03:45] Riku**
Hey, that's not cool. You scared me.
**[03:49] Iori**
What am I supposed to do?
**[03:51] Riku**
Huh? Wait, it's true?
**[03:53] Iori**
*We could use this as a weapon.*
**[03:56] Iori**
* But something could also*
* topple the current balance.*
**[04:01] Iori**
* Supporting someone gives*
* people a sense of euphoria.*
**[04:04] Iori**
*However, if those who support Nanase-san*
**[04:06] Iori**
* and empathize with him begin*
* demanding something in return...*
**[04:11] Iori**
*The energy of the masses is incredible.*
**[04:14] Iori**
* He's too vulnerable to stress*
* to be able to handle it.*
**[04:16] Riku**
Hey, are you okay?
**[04:18] Iori**
I'm fine. In other words, I just
have to keep you happy.
**[04:22] Riku**
Huh?
**[04:23] Iori**
Please stay happy forever.
**[04:25] Iori**
No, I'll ensure you're constantly
in a happy environment.
**[04:29] Riku**
Iori, you care about me that much?
**[04:33] Iori**
Is there anything bothering you right now?
**[04:36] Riku**
Well... I'm worried about
Tenn-nii and TRIGGER.
**[04:41] Iori**
* That's right. Why did this have*
* to happen to them now?*
**[04:45] Riku**
It always gets edited out when
I talk about TRIGGER on TV.
**[04:50] Riku**
Even on live broadcasts,
they change the subject.
**[04:54] Riku**
I don't want to pretend like
TRIGGER never existed.
**[04:57] Riku**
I want to do something for TRIGGER!
**[04:59] Iori**
*This isn't good. He's making that face.*
**[05:02] Iori**
*Even I'm moved by it.*
**[05:04] Riku**
I need to find a way to fight back.
**[05:07] Riku**
Like you said you would for me, I want
to make Tenn-nii and TRIGGER happy.
**[05:13] Riku & Nagi**
*Riku-Nagish Radio*!
**[05:16] Riku**
Good evening. I'm Nanase Riku of IDOLiSH7.
**[05:19] Nagi**
Hello. I'm Rokuya Nagi.
**[05:22] Riku**
Our radio show begins today.
**[05:25] Riku**
What am I gonna do, Nagi? I'm so nervous!
**[05:27] Nagi**
Oh! Friends help each
other when we're in need.
**[05:30] Nagi**
Think of me as your personal ship made
of mud and leave everything to me.
**[05:34] Riku**
Thanks—Wait, a ship like that would sink.
**[05:38] Nagi**
Sorry.
***SIGN*** #Riku-NagishRadio
***SIGN*** Suzuka loves Rikkun!
***SIGN*** Nagi-kun and Rikkun make a great team!
***SIGN*** #Riku-NagishRadio
***SIGN*** Satomin @Mitsuki love
***SIGN*** It's an unexpected combo, but they're
so compatible #Riku-NagishRadio
***SIGN*** Minako wants to become Cocona-chan
***SIGN*** I can only hear their voices, but I can
imagine their movements when they're
talking lol
***SIGN*** #Riku-NagishRadio
**[05:43] Iori**
Their radio show is being received well.
**[05:45] Tsumugi**
Yes. It even trended on
Rabbitter while it was airing.
**[05:49] Iori**
Even though Nanase-san was
the one who got the offer,
**[05:51] Iori**
your idea to have to Rokuya-san join
him has pleasantly surprised people.
**[05:56] Tsumugi**
In contrast with MEZZO"'s show,
I thought it would feel novel.
**[06:00] Iori**
I see. Their show has been
doing well recently, too.
**[06:06] Sogo**
Our next song is "Melody
Blue" from Baby Beer.
**[06:09] Sogo**
It's a famous hardcore record.
**[06:11] Tamaki**
What's hardcore? Is that a kind of rock?
**[06:15] Sogo**
Yes, the most rock of all rock.
**[06:18] Tamaki**
And the alter-whatever you
mentioned the other day...
**[06:21] Sogo**
Alternative. Yes, that's a kind of rock, too.
**[06:24] Tamaki**
What's rock? Is it like people?
**[06:27] Sogo**
What?
**[06:28] Tamaki**
Like, Americans are hardcore, and
Japanese people are alternative?
**[06:33] Sogo**
You could describe it that way.
**[06:36] Sogo**
We're all human beings and
all genres of rock.
**[06:38] Tamaki**
Isn't that kind of vague?
Normally you're so nitpicky.
**[06:42] Sogo**
Everyone classifies genres differently.
**[06:44] Tamaki**
Then, what about hip-hop?
**[06:47] Sogo**
I think it's rooted in jazz, but some
people think it comes from rock.
**[06:51] Sogo**
Hip-hop is its own thing.
**[06:53] Tamaki**
Then salt and pepper and
soy sauce are rock, too.
**[06:58] Sogo**
No, because those are seasonings.
**[07:00] Tamaki**
You can't be serious.
Rock can't have everything!
**[07:03] Sogo**
Anyway, here's the next song.
**[07:05] Director**
Good work. You were great again today.
**[07:08] Tamaki**
What? But I didn't understand what
he was saying about rock at all.
**[07:12] Director**
That's fine. It was funny.
**[07:15] Director**
You guys have been doing great.
**[07:17] Director**
Keep it up.
**[07:19] Tamaki**
Okay.
**[07:20] Sogo**
Excuse us.
**[07:21] Tamaki**
Excuse us!
**[07:26] Tamaki**
He said we're doing great.
**[07:32] Sogo**
It's from Mitsuki-san.
***SIGN*** I'm looking forward to your cake.
I'm on my way home.
***SIGN*** I'm listening to your radio show!
"Salt and pepper are rock" is hilarious
***SIGN*** Are you guys done?

***SIGN*** TRIGGER Resumes Activity!
**[07:44] Tenn**
Good evening. We are TRIGGER.
**[07:46] All**
Good evening!
**[07:46] Gaku**
Thanks for coming to see us.
**[07:48] Ryu**
We can see your faces clearly.
**[07:51] All**
Gaku-san!
**[07:51] All**
Ryunosuke-san!
**[07:53] All**
Tenn-kun!
**[07:54] Woman B**
You think we'll get to see them if we wait?
**[07:56] Woman C**
Probably! I wanna give
them the letter I wrote!
**[07:59] Salaryman**
TRIGGER's performing at places
like this these days, huh?
**[08:01] Sushiya**
What a nuisance.
**[08:03] Salaryman**
Huh?
**[08:05] Mitsuki**
Welcome back.
**[08:10] Riku**
I'm exhausted.
**[08:12] Mitsuki**
You're back late.
**[08:14] Yamato**
You've been busy recently. Are you okay?
**[08:17] Riku**
Yeah. Seeing your faces makes
me feel relieved and relaxed.
**[08:23] Sogo**
It'd be nice to go on a trip
together once it's calmer.
**[08:25] Tamaki**
Should we go to Nagi's country to
see the northern lights in winter?
**[08:28] Nagi**
Oh! Northmeir is bitterly cold
in the middle of winter.
**[08:33] Nagi**
The nights are long, and the sun
is only up for a few hours.
**[08:37] Tamaki**
Is that still on Earth?
**[08:40] Riku**
Sounds like a tough place to live.
**[08:42] Nagi**
No problem.
**[08:44] Nagi**
No matter how hard it snows, you can
still have fun as long as you have music.
**[08:48] Nagi**
In ancient times, stories were songs in
Northmeir and the neighboring countries.
**[08:53] Riku**
Stories were songs...
**[08:55] Nagi**
People would wait for the bards
to arrive during winter.
**[08:59] Nagi**
They looked forward to hearing their myths.
**[09:02] Nagi**
And that hasn't changed.
**[09:05] Nagi**
Even when there's no sunlight and
they're trapped inside a white world,
**[09:09] Nagi**
people still enjoy songs and stories.
**[09:12] Riku**
I understand that.
**[09:13] Riku**
When things were tough,
Tenn-nii sang for me.
**[09:17] Riku**
There were lots of stories there,
**[09:20] Riku**
both in the songs themselves
and in our memories.
**[09:25] Yamato**
That's why everyone misses TRIGGER.
**[09:27] Yamato**
Momo-san missed Re:vale, too.
**[09:30] Yamato**
Because their stories are in their songs,
they miss not being able to hear them.
**[09:34] Mitsuki**
I wonder if our fan's stories
are in our songs, too.
**[09:39] Mitsuki**
If listening to our songs
brings back memories.
**[09:43] Mitsuki**
It'd be nice if we were
connected in that way.
**[09:46] Riku**
Tenn-nii once told me that it was our job
to sing even while the world was ending.
**[09:52] Riku**
At the time it sounded harsh, merciless,
and painful to me, but I get it now.
**[10:00] Riku**
If someone's joyful memories and
happy stories are in our songs,
**[10:06] Riku**
then we can play them back
by singing our songs.
**[10:11] Riku**
I want to keep singing for everyone,
**[10:14] Riku**
and make shooting stars fall
across the dark night sky.
**[10:18] Riku**
We can become stars or even rainbows.
***SIGN*** Your Ad Here
***SIGN*** We used to use the place TRIGGER performed at lolol
they're performing at places like that these days lol
must be desperate lmao
***SIGN*** Inaishi Hiyoko
***SIGN*** You seriously don't see TRIGGER anymore.
Did they retire or what?
***SIGN*** Miitan's Complaining Account
***SIGN*** TRIGGER fans these days have no standards...
***SIGN*** A crazy number of people were waiting to see them.
Apparently TRIGGER didn't really care and interacted
with fans blocking the street.
***SIGN*** Shun Tsukiyo @Attending both days!
**[10:33] Anesagi**
What? We're not allowed in?
**[10:36] Staff A**
We appreciate having a full house, but we
received complaints from the neighbors.
**[10:41] Staff B**
You guys should go someplace bigger.
**[10:44] Anesagi**
I see. I'm so sorry for the trouble we caused.
**[10:52] Anesagi**
I'll call you later. Good night.
**[10:55] Gaku**
Sure.
**[10:56] Ryu**
Good night.
**[11:00] Anesagi**
I need to take those boys
someplace they can shine.
***SIGN*** Re: Availability of halls this year
**[11:07] Anesagi**
It's available...?
**[11:11] Ryu**
Welcome.
**[11:12] Sogo**
Thank you for inviting us over.
**[11:13] Tamaki**
Here, this is for you.
**[11:15] Ryu**
Thanks.
**[11:16] Yamato**
Sorry for coming over on short notice.
**[11:19] Yamato**
We were curious to see how you're doing.
**[11:21] Gaku**
Nah, thanks for coming.
**[11:25] Mitsuki**
Sorry everyone couldn't make it.
**[11:27] Mitsuki**
So, how's living together?
**[11:29] Both**
Terrible.
**[11:31] Ryu**
There's endless arguments on the daily.
**[11:33] Gaku**
This guy calls the AC settings
weak, medium, and strong.
**[11:38] Tenn**
Doesn't everyone?
**[11:39] Sogo**
I prefer "low."
**[11:41] Sogo**
But Riku-kun says weak and strong, too.
**[11:44] Tenn**
Well, Gaku calls adding more hot
water to the bath "firing up the tub."
**[11:48] Mitsuki**
Are you setting it on fire?
**[11:49] Gaku**
Doesn't everyone say that?
**[11:51] Tamaki**
I do!
**[11:53] Both**
Heck yeah!
**[11:56] Yamato**
What? You're not allowed
into live music venues?
**[11:58] Ryu**
Yeah, but it's tough for us
to afford a bigger place.
**[12:03] Sogo**
How's the search for sponsors going?
**[12:05] Gaku**
Anesagi doesn't want to do it.
**[12:07] Gaku**
She says people would try
to tell us what to do.
**[12:09] Mitsuki**
What about a web show?
**[12:11] Mitsuki**
We gained fans that way.
**[12:13] Tenn**
We're uploading videos of our concerts,
but we're not hosting a talk show.
**[12:18] Tenn**
We can't do one without explaining
why we left our agency.
**[12:21] Tamaki**
Why *did* you guys do that, anyway?
**[12:24] Ryu**
It was a mutual decision after
talking it out with them.
**[12:27] Ryu**
But apparently, Tsukumo
put pressure on them.
**[12:29] Gaku**
Tsukumo wanted to make an
example out of Yaotome Productions
**[12:32] Gaku**
and TRIGGER in order to take
control of the industry.
**[12:35] Yamato**
So that's why everyone's so timid around
ŹOOĻ and Tsukumo's other clients.
**[12:40] Mitsuki**
It does seem like everyone's
gauging Tsukumo's emotions.
**[12:44] Mitsuki**
Momo-san said it's his influence
**[12:46] Mitsuki**
that makes everyone let him do what
he wants so nothing bad happens to them.
**[12:49] Yamato**
There's demand for an unrestrained
and rebellious group like ŹOOĻ.
**[12:55] Yamato**
I don't hate it, either.
**[12:57] Yamato**
What I'm scared of is them changing
people's impression of idols as a whole.
**[13:02] Yamato**
Eventually our image will
get infected by them, too.
**[13:07] Yamato**
That's why I want to see
the return of TRIGGER,
**[13:11] Yamato**
who had a good rep among adults, as well.
**[13:17] Tenn**
What is that?
**[13:18] Yamato**
I got this recently from
some old dude I know,
**[13:21] Yamato**
but didn't know what to do with it.
**[13:24] Ryu**
It's not money, is it?
**[13:25] Ryu**
We can't accept this!
**[13:27] Yamato**
You're looking to rent a big space, right?
**[13:29] Yamato**
It's not much, but you
can put it towards that.
**[13:31] Gaku**
You idiot, we've got savings!
**[13:34] Yamato**
Just take it, guys. I don't want it.
**[13:37] Sogo**
If you'd like, I could hold on to it for you.
**[13:41] Both**
What?
**[13:42] Sogo**
I may be able to make it grow.
**[13:45] Tamaki**
You can do that?
**[13:47] Tenn**
Are you offering to manage our assets?
**[13:49] Sogo**
I was made to practice
investing since grade school,
**[13:52] Sogo**
like seeing how much I could
make off a million yen.
**[13:54] Yamato**
What kind of parent gives a grade
school kid a million yen?
**[13:58] Ryu**
How much were you able to make?
**[13:59] Gaku**
Don't ask him that. He was a kid.
**[14:01] Sogo**
200 million.
***SIGN*** 200 Million
**[14:03] All**
200 million?!
**[14:04] Sogo**
I reached 500 million at one point,
**[14:06] Sogo**
but I misread the market
and lost 300 million.
**[14:09] Sogo**
That sort of thing happens
all the time, though.
**[14:12] Both**
No, it doesn't.
**[14:13] Tamaki**
How much does it cost for you
guys to perform in a big space?
**[14:17] Gaku**
Assuming we perform for three days,
it's 70 million excluding marketing costs.
**[14:21] Mitsuki**
You could build a house with that.
**[14:22] Gaku**
Yeah, you sure could.
**[14:24] Ryu**
We appreciate the thought, but
we can't impose on you like that.
**[14:27] Sogo**
I'm sorry. That was impertinent of me.
**[14:30] Ryu**
Actually, if you're offering your help,
**[14:34] Ryu**
I'd like to make
a different request.
**[14:36] Sogo**
What is it?
**[14:37] Ryu**
We did find one hall that's available.
**[14:40] Gaku**
Oh, right...
**[14:42] Sogo**
Where?
**[14:44] Ryu**
The FSC Hall in Kyoto.
**[14:48] Ryu**
They turned us down, though.
**[14:51] Ryu**
Since they were the sponsor and
associated enterprise of our show,
**[14:54] Ryu**
they said they didn't want to
be seen as TRIGGER's sponsor.
**[14:57] Yamato**
You think you could make it work
if So put in a good word for you?
**[15:02] Ryu**
It'd be nice if it worked out.
**[15:04] Ryu**
That's not what I'm really
trying to say, though.
**[15:08] Ryu**
Sogo-kun, I still think family
can reach an understanding.
**[15:12] Ryu**
Everything that's happened has made
me realize that all over again.
**[15:18] Ryu**
It's not that I want your help.
**[15:20] Ryu**
I just think it'd be nice if you could offer to
talk to your family without reservations
**[15:24] Ryu**
before offering to do what a bank could do,
**[15:29] Ryu**
even if this weren't about us.
**[15:31] Gaku**
Wait, why are you talking
to Osaka about this?
**[15:34] Ryu**
Oh, uh... Sorry.
**[15:37] Sogo**
It's fine. It's because my father is
the chairman of the FSC Group.
**[15:41] Gaku**
Wha—
**[15:43] Sogo**
I've been disowned and haven't
kept in touch, though.
**[15:49] Ryu**
Still, don't you actually want
to talk things out with him?
**[15:54] Ryu**
Don't you want your family's support?
**[15:56] Sogo**
I...
**[15:58] Tamaki**
Of course he doesn't!
**[16:01] Tamaki**
So-chan's family did terrible things to him!
**[16:04] Tamaki**
Why's he gotta talk to them?!
**[16:07] Ryu**
It's what's best for Sogo-kun—
**[16:09] Tamaki**
No, it's not!
**[16:11] Tamaki**
There's plenty of parents who
are terrible to their kids.
**[16:15] Tamaki**
You and other people don't get that,
**[16:17] Tamaki**
which is why you all say that crap about
how it's best for families to get along!
**[16:23] Tamaki**
How about you mind your own business?!
**[16:25] Tamaki**
Right, So-chan?
**[16:28] Sogo**
I've never properly faced
my parents until now.
**[16:34] Sogo**
I believed they'd never understand me
because of their constant rejection,
**[16:38] Sogo**
so maybe I never even tried
to reach an understanding.
**[16:41] Tamaki**
Are you serious?
**[16:43] Tamaki**
*They're* the ones who should
be doing all the work!
**[16:45] Gaku**
Calm down, Yotsuba. Why are you so mad?
**[16:48] Tamaki**
I'm *not* mad!
**[16:50] Ryu**
Do you not want Sogo-kun to
get along with his family?
**[16:54] Ryu**
Because then you'd be all alone?
**[16:58] Tamaki**
You asshole.
**[17:00] Yamato**
Knock it off, Tama!
**[17:01] Mitsuki**
Don't pick fights!
**[17:05] Tenn**
Yotsuba Tamaki.
**[17:06] Tamaki**
What?!
**[17:07] Tenn**
Let's go shopping. Come with me.
**[17:12] Tamaki**
Just so you know, it's not like that.
**[17:14] Tamaki**
I don't think it'd be unfair if just
So-chan got along with his family.
**[17:19] Tenn**
I know.
**[17:20] Tamaki**
It'd only make him sad.
That's why I told them.
**[17:24] Tamaki**
Even Aya left to stay with Kujo.
**[17:27] Tamaki**
People don't understand just
'cause you talk to them.
**[17:33] Tamaki**
Why'd you and Aya have to do it?
**[17:35] Tamaki**
Why did Sakura Haruki and
my mom leave? Just stay.
**[17:41] Tamaki**
She said saw me on TV and that I seemed well.
**[17:45] Tamaki**
Is she dumb or something?
**[17:46] Tamaki**
Just how lonely do you think I was?
**[17:49] Tenn**
I'm sorry.
**[17:50] Tamaki**
They're all idiots!
**[17:52] Tamaki**
Ryu-aniki and So-chan and Aya, too!
**[17:54] Tamaki**
And you suck for making Rikkun sad, too!
**[17:58] Tenn**
Sorry. I'm sorry.
**[18:02] Tamaki**
I don't want to be lonely anymore.
**[18:07] Tenn**
I'll end all of this.
**[18:09] Tenn**
I'll return Aya to you.
**[18:12] Tenn**
I promise.
**[18:14] Tenn**
I have to end his dream.
**[18:17] Tenn**
Can you hang on a little longer?
**[18:20] Tamaki**
A little longer?
**[18:22] Tenn**
Until next summer.
**[18:24] Tenn**
By then, I'll become Zero.
**[18:29] Tsumugi**
Good work, Riku-san.
**[18:32] Tsumugi**
You've been busy lately.
You're not tired, are you?
**[18:35] Riku**
I'm great. I've been wanting to work
more since seeing TRIGGER's concert.
**[18:43] Riku**
Toma-san.
**[18:45] Toma**
Riku...
**[18:48] Tsumugi**
I'm Takanashi, IDOLiSH7's manager.
**[18:51] Tsumugi**
Thank you for the other day.
**[18:54] Toma**
That was Tora's fault for hitting on you.
**[18:57] Riku**
He hit on you?! Were you okay?
**[18:59] Tsumugi**
Yes, Inumaru-san here helped me—
**[19:02] Ryo**
Toma!
**[19:05] Riku**
Is this guy...?
**[19:08] Ryo**
Well, well, well, if it isn't IDOLiSH7's center.
**[19:12] Ryo**
What's wrong? Why so guarded?
**[19:14] Riku**
I'm not.
**[19:15] Tsumugi**
Um, nice to meet you.
I'm Takanashi Productions—
**[19:19] Ryo**
Don't bother. You're in the way.
**[19:21] Ryo**
Nanase Riku, right? Haruka told me about you.
**[19:24] Ryo**
I hear Kujo Tenn allowed himself
to be bought by Kujo Takamasa
**[19:27] Ryo**
to cover your medical expenses?
**[19:30] Riku**
What?
**[19:32] Ryo**
And yet, you're still sick, even after your
brother so nobly sacrificed himself for you!
**[19:39] Ryo**
How's it feel to run around onstage
like everything's fine and dandy?
**[19:46] Ryo**
Are you getting the most out of your youth
because it's your life? That kinda thing?
**[19:50] Tsumugi**
Let's go. Excuse us, we have
another job to get to.
**[19:54] Riku**
Is that true?
**[19:56] Ryo**
You never even thought about it?
**[19:58] Ryo**
Obviously, a family makes sacrifices
when they have a sick child.
**[20:02] Ryo**
But you seem to be dancing
quite happily despite that.
**[20:06] Ryo**
How long are you gonna keep that up?
**[20:10] Ryo**
Well? Does that come as a shock?
**[20:13] Riku**
Did my parents know?
**[20:14] Ryo**
Who knows? How does it feel to be left out?
**[20:19] Riku**
My family always discusses
important matters without me.
**[20:23] Ryo**
You, too?
**[20:24] Riku**
What?
**[20:27] Tsumugi**
Let's go. I'm sorry. Please excuse us.
**[20:30] Ryo**
Hey, wait—
**[20:32] Toma**
Quit it. Don't talk about his illness.
**[20:35] Ryo**
Are you telling me what to do?
**[20:36] Toma**
You've done a lot for me,
**[20:38] Toma**
but I hate people who bully the weak.
**[20:41] Ryo**
You've got a loose tongue, don't you?
**[20:43] Ryo**
I'll yank it out and feed it to the dogs.
**[20:48] Ryo**
Aw, darn. He left.
**[20:52] Riku**
I always complained to Tenn-nii
and asked why he left.
**[20:57] Riku**
Maybe that's why my parents always
reprimanded me whenever I spoke ill of him.
**[21:03] Tsumugi**
Riku-san...
**[21:05] Riku**
I want to tell Tenn-nii a lifetime's
worth of thank yous and I'm sorrys.
**[21:09] Riku**
But I can't.
**[21:12] Riku**
Pretending I don't know is my
punishment for not noticing.
**[21:18] Tsumugi**
Are you feeling anxious
about continuing to work?
**[21:22] Riku**
No, I've steeled my resolve.
**[21:24] Riku**
I'm going to get Tenn-nii back.
**[21:27] Riku**
Tenn-nii and the time he didn't get to
spend with his family lies at my feet,
**[21:31] Riku**
and I've been dancing on top of that.
**[21:34] Riku**
But I'll keep dancing like my life
depends on it in order to save Tenn-nii.
**[21:39] Riku**
I won't allow the story of TRIGGER and
the people who loved TRIGGER to end.
**[21:44] Riku**
Thank you.
**[21:45] Riku**
From the start, you've always believed
in our potential and supported us.
**[21:50] Riku**
You said before that you wish
you were a man instead,
**[21:53] Riku**
but I really like you the way you are.
**[21:58] Tsumugi**
I'm glad you were the first idols
I was responsible for, too.
**[22:02] Tsumugi**
I'd like to keep watching IDOLiSH7's
story along with everyone else.
**[22:13] Haruka**
You don't see TRIGGER's name anymore.
**[22:17] Haruka**
Serves you right, Kujo.
**[22:19] Haruka**
You said I could surpass Zero.
**[22:22] Haruka**
You said you'd make me your son.
**[22:24] Haruka**
Jeez, that's loud. What are you doing?!
**[22:29] Ryo**
Watching them made me want to try it.
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:49] Sogo**
Do you have a minute?
**[23:50] Tamaki**
What is it?
**[23:53] Tamaki**
You don't have to knock every time.
**[23:57] Sogo**
I'm thinking about going back home.
