CHIKA: "Here's some tea and mikan oranges for you."

SHIZUKU: "Thank you very much, I'm sorry to drop in on you all so suddenly this evening."

CHIKA: "Don't worry, you're always welcome!"

RIKO: "You must've had a very important reason to talk to us all alone in secret like this."

SHIZUKU: "Yes. Again, I'm sorry to impose, but I've come here because there is something I'd like to ask all the members of Aqours."

MARI: "What is it? The suspense is making my heart pound."

DIA: "We will be glad to help if there's anything we can do for you."

YOSHIKO: "It is a fallen angel's duty to guide her little demons when they've lost their way. Don't be shy."

HANAMARU: "Yoshiko wants you to quickly tell us because she's beside herself with worry, zura."

YOSHIKO: "Don't call me Yoshiko! I'm Yohane! YO-HA-NE!"

RUBY: "What is it that you wanna ask us, Shizuku? We'll answer any questions we have the answers to!"

SHIZUKU: "Thank you all so very much. So, umm, my question is...what kind of school idols did you all want to become when you first started out?"

YOU: "What kind? Hmm, did I even have any particular goal? I don't think I did."

SHIZUKU: "Huh? Nothing?!"

YOU: "We only tried it in the first place because Chika asked us to join her! Oh, but we all have our own personal goals now, of course."

SHIZUKU: "Well then, since you recruited everyone, what about you, Chika?"

CHIKA: "Me? It was μ's for me! I saw one of their live shows and wanted us to shine brightly, just like them."

SHIZUKU: "Does that mean you started out by mimicking μ's?"

CHIKA: "Nah, it wasn't like that. You can't be like μ's, even if you mimic them."

SHIZUKU: "But you still want to be like μ's, right? So, don't you model yourselves after them?"

CHIKA: "Be like μ's? You're talking about, like, admiring them, right?
Wait, but it's different somehow. Wait, what? Eh? Ehhhhhh?!"

KANAN: "Settle down. Shizuku's the one with the issue, remember?"

CHIKA: "Oh, sorry!"

SHIZUKU: "It's all right."

CHIKA: "But yeah, μ's is amazing! They shine so sparkling bright! I totally admire them!
But I think μ's shine the way they do is because it's the nine of them performing. It wouldn't be the same if even one of them was replaced.
That's why I wanna find a shine unique to us, I want to find what makes us Aqours!"

SHIZUKU: "A shine?"

YOU: "Yeah, that's it. I originally became a school idol because I wanted to help Chika out, but now I wanna shine, too.
Actually...that's how everyone in Aqours feels!"

DIA: "I couldn't have said it better myself."

SHIZUKU: "Is that so? This has been some really valuable insight. Thank you all very much."

CHIKA: "No prob. Hope we managed to help a little."

SHIZUKU: "Oh, absolutely. This has all been very useful. Now that I've heard what Aqours thinks, I'm ready to ponder this further on my own!"
