God damn it... How long does one student have to spend inside a school?!

Shiro was right, it's starting to get cold out here.

Oh?

Jackpot.

AKI: "We meet again, Setsuna Yuki."

NANA: "Huh? What are you doing here?"

AKI: "You've been avoiding us lately, and you won't let us see you in the Student Council room. I've camped here for hours waiting for you, because I knew sooner or later you would come through here."

NANA: "Can I just leave? It's been a long day..."

AKI: "Not yet. Let's have a proper talk. Right here, right now. We are going to talk this out."

NANA: "Very well, I'm listening.

AKI: "I just met up with everyone from μ's and Aqours. Everyone is worried sick about you."

NANA: "I know. I've recieved all of their phone calls."

AKI: "None of us want you to quit being a school idol, Setsuna."

NANA: "Don't call me that..."

AKI: "Why not? There's nobody around here, it's just you and me!"

NANA: "..."

AKI: "We don't want you to quit, but we also understand that you need to give it your all for the Student Council presidential election. If that's the case, then we will help you put your efforts into both."

NANA: "That's the problem, Akihiko! Everybody helps me so generously. That's exactly why I figured I had to quit the club."

AKI: "What is that supposed to mean?"

NANA: "I told you. Now is the time for everyone to work together as one in preparation for the School Idol Festival. I can't make them do anything unnecessary."

AKI: "It's not unnecessary!"

NANA: "But you and the others forgot to send messages about our gatherings and about the songs for the mini live show, right? Because you were helping me..."

AKI: "Slips of the mind. We'll just be more careful!"

NANA: "They might have been little slip-ups this time, but you don't know what might happen next time. It'll be too late to act once something has happened."

AKI: "Setsuna..."

NANA: "I said don't call me that."

AKI: "Why not?"

NANA: "Setsuna isn't here anymore."

AKI: "?!"

NANA: "..."

AKI: "So...you're just going to resort to sacrificing yourself? Don't you realize that if we all work hard together, then we can beat Shioriko and..."

NANA: "That's always what this campaign has been about for you isn't it?! Beating Shioriko! It's not about supporting me, it's about fulfilling some bitter childhood rivalry you have!"

AKI: "I am supporting you! I've done nothing but support you! This isn't about Shioriko... This is about the School Idol Club! The rivalry between me and Shioriko still stands, but that plays only a minor part in all of this! I won't let you lose, but I won't let you sacrifice yourself like this!"

NANA: *Sigh* "Some things, Akihiko, cannot be achieved by working in half measures. Winning against Mifune is no easy task. Similarly, reviving the School Idol Festival is no easy task either.
Which is why I want you to focus solely on bringing the School Idol Festival back, nit half-heartedly, but wholeheartedly."

AKI: "There's no point in having the School Idol Festival without you! Without Setsuna, it'd just be..."

NANA: "So...you're just going to give up? Is that the extent of your love for school idols?"

AKI: "Excuse me?"

NANA: "You're going to let yourself get caught up in politics rather than lead the entire school idol world?
That doesn't make you a school idol supporter. That makes you nothing more than a politician."

AKI: "How...dare you!"

NANA: "So, you're angry. Are you just going to call me a bitch just like you called Shioriko?"

AKI: "Th-That's..."

NANA: "Then please, respect my choice of method. I will retain the Student Council presidency no matter what, and I will protect the club.
This is the path I have chosen to bring back the School Idol Festival!"

AKI: "This isn't your path at all! You're just following the path that Shioriko is forcing you to follow! This contradicts your entire agenda!"

NANA: "So now it's MY agenda? I thought you said that it was OUR agenda. But now you hold no power over me, you can't do anything. This will be MY victory over Mifune, not yours."

AKI: "Where was that confidence when you were stuttering all over the place during the debate?!"

NANA: *GASP*

AKI: "And now you're acting all high and mighty! You talk a big game, but who says that you can actually get the job done?!"

NANA: "YOU SAID THAT!"

AKI: "Th...Th-That's..."

NANA: "You don't practice what you preach!"

AKI: "Neither do you! Telling everyone to follow their passions and sacrificing your own like some martyr!"

NANA: "If I could stray from this path I would. But you don't know what I have to endure..."

AKI: "Then fight for what you believe in! Don't you see that this sacrifice isn't noble, it's just pathetic!"

NANA: "Then why don't you run for president if you think that you can do better!"

AKI: "BECAUSE I'M NOT A FUCKING POLITICIAN!"

NANA: "..."

AKI: "Of all people in this world, I thought you were the one who related to that most of all..."

NANA: "..." *Sniff*

AKI: "I'm sorry, for the vulgar language, Setsuna..."

NANA: "Setsuna's dead... That's the end of this conversation. It's late now, so you should also hurry on home and rest."

AKI: "...Fine."
