AKI: "That's all for today! Good work, everyone!"

AYUMU: "Whew. Another day of intense practice. I am wiped out."

KARIN: "I'll say. Look at me, I'm drenched in sweat."

AKI: "Wipe yourselves down so you don't catch colds. You too, Kanata."

KANATA: "Oh, I'm gonna stay a little late today."

SETSUNA: "Again? You've been staying late after every practice lately. I like your enthusiasm, but it's dangerous to overwork yourself."

KANATA: "Thanks for worrying, but I'll be okay. I know my limits."

SETSUNA: "Do you, now? Well, if you're sure."

AKI: "I might stay back a little longer, too. Can I join you?"

KANATA: "Of course!"

...

AKI: "Setsuna's right to be concerned. You've been pushing your limits lately. Are you sure you're okay?"

KANATA: "Yup! I'm just so motivated, I have lots of energy to spare!"

AKI: "By the looks of it, I guess you and Haruka cleared the air."

KANATA: "Wow! You're psychic!"

AKI: "Nope, I don't believe in that stuff. And this isn't my perception talking either. You're an open book."

KANATA: "You know, this has been a huge surprise. When did Haruka become so grown up? We've always been inseparable, and I still never noticed."

AKI: "Do you miss your little sister being more...little?"

KANATA: "Hmm. Honestly, I miss it a bit. But Haruka's become very mature, and I should be proud of her.
Plus, she's reminded me that I need to grow up, too. If I don't learn to let her go, she'll never take me seriously."

AKI: "Kanata..."

KANATA: "Besides, I want to follow my own passions more and take my school idol career to the next level. That way, Haruka won't have to worrt about me anymore! Right?"

AKI: "Are things okay at home? You used to leave early because you had stuff to take care of."

KANATA: "Yeah. I used to leave early to make Haruka dinner, but now, we meal prep together on the weekends instead. I get to spend more time with her, so it's two birds with one stone!"

AKI: "Nice! That means I'll get to see you as a school idol even more. Tell me if there's anything I can do to help!"

KANATA: "Thanks. There's something I need you for right now, actually!"

AKI: "Lay it on me!"

KANATA: "I have an idea for my next song, but it's still kinda half-baked. I was hoping you'd help me brainstorm!"

AKI: "Sure, I'd love to! I'll help you as best I can!"

KANATA: "Thanks! So, the song is about my selfish side that only comes out when I'm on stage, where I forget about everything else and do whatever I want. Let's write it together!"
