AKI: "In two days your impressions of everyone are almost flawless, Shizuku."

SHIZUKU: "All I'm doing is copying everyone based on what I've observed."

AKI: "Sure, but you've gone way beyond mimicking how they talk. You've got their gestures and mannerisms down, too. I can really tell how closely you've been studying them!
You've even perfected your impersonation of Karin, even though you said it was impossible."

SHIZUKU: *Laugh* "Karin was really difficult to master, but overcoming the highest hurdle has made me realize something!"

AKI: "Really? Let's hear it!"

SHIZUKU: "After studying everyone in-depth and learning to impersonate them, I've reaffirmed that all I'm capable of is acting!
Or rather, acting is a core part of who I am. I love playing a role and getting into character.
I get to become someone else and experience what it's like to live their life. Every time I play a role, I'm reborn again. I've stuck with acting because it's fun for me.
That's why I'm going to continue acting."

AKI: "If you're capable of this much in two days, I'd love to see what you can do in two years! If this is the decision you've made, then it must be the right one."

SHIZUKU: "Thank you very much, Senpai! As a follow-up, I've come-up with this. Do you mind having a look at it?"

AKI: "Sure, what is it?"

SHIZUKU: "Here!"

AKI: "Wow, you've really filled up this page. It's like one of the pages in my notebook."

Thinking about it, my notebook is getting kinda full. But I don't think I need a new one yet.

SHIZUKU: "These are all character profiles."

AKI: "What do you mean?"

SHIZUKU: "I've always tried to play the part of the ideal school idol. But I think I failed that role as a complete character because I focused all my attention on how she should appear.
It only makes sense that that method wouldn't be enough for me to reach my goals.
I've done a lot of long, hard thinking about the kind of school idol I'm trying to be."

AKI: "So, what you're saying is that now you'll be playing the role of the school idol you wrote down in this notebook?"

SHIZUKU: "Yes. I want to grow to be more like here. She's finally started to come alive in my mind.
That's why I think I'll be able to express myself in the best way I can!"

Shizuku expressing herself in the best way she can... That's a pretty exciting thought.

SHIZUKU: "And once I have the perfect song for this character, that will be the last piece of the puzzle."

AKI: "You're right. However, I think one of your songs is just right for her."

SHIZUKU: "You think so?"

AKI: "At the School Idol Festival Main Stage qualification event, phew that's a mouthful... You performed the second song you wrote. 'Audrey'."

SHIZUKU: "Are you saying that this is the perfect song for my character?!"

AKI: "Of course."

SHIZUKU: "Originally, I was referencing the actress Audrey Hepburn... But if this is a song that's all about finding the school idol I want to become... Then I agree. It's the perfect choice!"

AKI: "Then it's settled!"

SHIZUKU: "Although, my choreography and the song itself could use some fine tuning. Would you help me with that, Senpai?"

AKI: "Definitely! We have time to do that today. However, tomorrow is the final day before the solo live show."

And let's make that last day count! I'm gonna focus my entire day on interacting with each member of the club.
