KASUMI: "Hey! Hey, come over here!"

AKI: "What's wrong? Did Setsuna change her mind and wants to stay with you?"

KASUMI: "NO!"

SHIZUKU: "There's something wrong with Rina..."

AKI: "What do you mean?"

KASUMI: "She's just staring off into space and won't respond when I talk to her."

AKI: "Doesn't the Rina-chan Board always make her look that way? Considering that it can't communicate eye movements."

SHIZUKU: "She hasn't been herself lately. We thought maybe you could get through to her."

AKI: "Alright. I'll see what I can do."

SHIZUKU, KASUMI: "Thank you!"

I swear if Ryu Kuroda has given her trouble again... It won't be pretty.

It is an idol manager's job to ensure their safety after all. I just guess a lot of them forgot about that part...

...

AKI: "Rina, can I talk to you for a minute?"

RINA: "Hmm..."

AKI: "Rina?"

RINA: "Hmm..."

AKI: "RINA!"

RINA: "Mm... Huh?"

AKI: "Sorry to come at you from out of nowhere with this, but do you have something on your mind? Kasumi and Shizuku have been worried about you."

RINA: "Something on my mind? Not really."

AKI: "Okay, but you're just kind of staring off into space. If there's nothing on your mind, then what is it?"

RINA: "I was just remembering something."

AKI: "R-Remembering? Remembering what?"

Please don't tell me it's what happened THAT day...

RINA: "I was thinking about how much fun my last solo event was. Even I felt a deep connection to everyone.
That was the first time I ever felt that.
Fun, happiness, love... It's amazing to share those feelings with people. I never had that before. And it was all thanks to you. Thank you Aki-Senpai. Rina-chan Board says, 'Bow'."

Phew! At least it was something good and not that bad thing.

AKI: "I didn't do anything, though. It was all you, Rina. I'm relieved you're not worried about something."

RINA: "Kasumi and Shizuku were worried about me because I looked upset? I'm fine."

AKI: "Even so, you know, whenever you're up on stage, you're sparkling. You're showing everyone out there how fun it is to be a school idol. So, what kind of performance do you want to do for the joint solo live show?"

RINA: "Next time...? I want to feel what I felt last time, but bigger. I want to feel more connected with everyone."

AKI: "Your connection with your fans is really important to you, huh? Alright, leave it to me! I'll help you write a new song that will connect everyone!"

RINA: "Really? Thank you! I can't wait! Rina-chan Board says, 'Yay! Yay! Hooray!'"
