EMMA: *Sigh*

AKI: "Emma, you don't look so good. I noticed in practice... Are you worried about the show tomorrow?"

EMMA: "I can't hide anything from you. I'm a little worried, yeah. The songs are perfect and we practiced all the dance moves, but I feel like we're missing something."

AKI: "Yeah, maybe you're right."

EMMA: "Wh-What?!"

AKI: "You're not smiling enough! Come on, smile! Keep doing that and you'll have tons of courage!"

EMMA: "Haha! You're right, a good smile is important. Thanks!"

AKI: "Here, I'll show you something that'll make you even happier. Look!"

EMMA: "Are these...online posts?"

AKI: "Yeah, look!"

-------------------------------------------

-I'm exhausted from my club activities today, but I'll keep at it because I have Emma's healing performance to look forward to!

-If I finish up today, I'll be able to go to the show tomorrow! I can't wait for Emma to pat my head!

-I'm finally going to get the chance to meet Emma! And hear her voice! Oh, I wish it was tomorrow already.

-I wish I could manage someone like Emma! With my brilliance and her talent, we can change the world!

-------------------------------------------

AKI: "That brat of a girl agai- *ahem* Everyone can't wait to see you, Emma."

EMMA: "Wow... This...is amazing. This is what heals my soul."

AKI: "So give it your all tomorrow, okay?"

EMMA: "I will! Hey, hold on... Isn't this comment from that little boy?"

AKI: "Whoa, I think you're right!"

-------------------------------------------

-I like the way Emma sings. Good luck, Emma. I'm coming to see you with my big sister Hotaru, when she grows up, she wants to become an idol just like you. Someday, I want to manage her like that guy does for you. I can't wait to sing with you again.

-------------------------------------------

AKI: "It's him, right?"

EMMA: "Yeah! He told me his name was Hikaru Moroboshi."

AKI: "Looks like the name matches the one on here. Wow, it really looks like you're inspiring the school idols and managers of the future!"

EMMA: *Giggle* "I feel like I just got a jolt of power."

AKI: "One of the teachers said his family had moved suddenly and he didn't get a chance to say goodbye to his friends. I'm guessing his sister just left kindergarten too. I guess things were hard for him."

EMMA: "So that's what happened..."

AKI: "But since he sang with you that day, he seems to be doing better. Apparently, he has new friends to play with every day now. He's become confident."

EMMA: "I see... That's really good to hear."

AKI: "Your voice brings joy and heals people's souls, Emma. Have a little self-confidence!"

EMMA: "You're right! I can make a difference! I feel much better now."

AKI: "So let's wrap up today for-"

EMMA: "Hey, could you give some time for one song?"

AKI: "Huh?"

EMMA: "You've been working so hard to help me and everyone else out. So, I want to soothe you in return. Would you let me sing for you?"

AKI: "Of course! Thank you!"

Wow, I'm so lucky to be getting so many private live shows today!
