Tomoe: Mm, so bright... (What a sunset. It reminds me of middle school, when the five of us would sit up on the roof watching it together. Even when we're apart like this, I'm still thinking of the others. I guess when you spend as much time together as we have... I should probably apologize. To Himari, to Sonic, to Moca... and to Ran. Himari: Tomoe! Tomoe! Tomoe hears a noise as Himari was running towards her. Tomoe: Himari! Himari hugs Tomoe! Himari: Tomoe! Tomoe! Tomoe: I'm sorry for leaving. Himari: It's okay. Sonic walks next to them as he smiles. Tomoe: Sonic. Sonic: Hey, Tomoe. You feel better now? Tomoe: Yeah. I'm... sorry about what happened. Sonic: Come on, you don't need to apologize. As long as you were coming back, that's good enough for me. Tomoe: Thank you. Sonic: Hehe. Sonic turns around as he looks at the hospital. Sonic: I'm glad she's resting well. Himari: Ooo, is that love I heard? Sonic: Wha?! No, no! Himari: Really? Sonic: I-I... Tomoe: Hahaha! Sonic, Himari, Tomoe: Hahaha! Sonic was thinking about where Ran and Moca are. Sonic: Wait a minute...? Tomoe: What is it? Sonic: I think I know where they are. Himari: Really?! Sonic: Yeah. I'll fine them. Sonic runs off.
In the school's roof: Moca: If I know Ran, she'll definitely be up here... And there she is. But... what do I say? "What a nice sunset," or something? No, that's so stupid... Ran: Moca? Moca: Ahh, you found me. I applaud your keen senses, my dear. Ran: What are you talking about? Come over here. Moca: Okay, I will.
Moca gets next to Ran in the sunset. Moca: I haven't been up here in so long. All my middle school memories are of stuff that happened up here... We came almost every day after we formed the band. It really does have the best view, huh. Hey, Ran, do you remember that sunset after our middle school festival performance? Ran: Yeah. Moca: That school festival was our debut show, huh. I remember it perfectly. Ran: It was so different to rehearsals. There was our sound, and then the sound of the crowd, all mixed in together... It was like the song had come alive... Sonic: (Hmm? There they are.) Sonic then trips as Ran and Moca turned around seeing Sonic on the floor. Sonic: Hey there. Ran, Moca: Sonic... Sonic: *Whistles* What a view! So this is where the five of you girls go to every time. Moca: It really is. Ran: Yeah. Sonic: Anyway, Ran, you were saying something? Ran: Oh, yeah. I never imagined it would be like that... I know it sounds cheesy, but it made me realize that's what a real "live" show should be... Moca: I think we all felt something after that show. We all sat here crying together, watching the sun set. Hii-chan shouting "I'll never forget this moment!" and stuff. I guess we were all kids back then. Sonic: Looks like it. You all must've been having a great time with each other. Ran: Never forget this moment, huh... I never forgot it either. That show, that sunset... Wven everyone's faces, all crying together. Moca: You can go ahead and forget my crying face. Ran: Definitely not. Moca: Didn't think so. Sonic: Haha.

Ran: I hope we can wall watch the sunset again together some day... Moca: Ran... Ran: Do you think we will? Moca: Yeah. I do. Sonic: Of course you all will. Ran: ... I want to stay with this band. I don't want to give up. Moca: ..... Ran: Hearing Tomoe say all those things made me realize. I have been running away... from my dad, from flower arranging... even from the band. And Sonic... Sonic: Hmm? Ran: I'm sorry. Sonic: Sorry for what? Ran: Huh? Sonic: You said you don't want to give up the band, right? Then you don't need to apologize. Ran: Sonic... Sonic: Hehe. Ran: I didn't want to hear it, so I just ran away... I guess Tomoe really hit a nerve with me. She's sharp, I'll give her that. I should apologize to her. To Himari and Tsugu, too. And to my dad as well. Sonic: I should too. Ran: Huh? Sonic: I probably got mad at your dad for forcing you to do stuff so... will you give him a message telling him that I'm sorry? Ran: Yeah, sure. Moca: Yeah. Sonic: Hmm... I should go now. Moca: You're leaving? Sonic: Yeah. I need to go to bed. I'm tired from all of this. Ran: Okay, then. Moca: See ya. Ran: See you. Sonic: Bye. Ran: And Sonic... Sonic: Huh? Ran: Thank you. Sonic put a thumbs up as he runs off to Tsugumi's house. Ran: It's so easy saying all of this to you, Moca. Why can't I say it to other people, too? Moca: Maybe you don't think of me as a person? Ran: Haha, maybe you're right. Moca: Wow, now that's mean. Ran: I'm just kidding... Thanks, Moca. You know... for always being there. Moca: Being there... Ran: Moca? Moca: Ahh, I cant deal with your praise. You'll make me blush. Ran: I'll make sure never to praise or even thank you again, then. Moca: Now hold on a minute. I feed on compliments, you know. Ran: I know, I know. Let's go and visit Tsugu tomorrow. I think I'd like to talk to her, too. Moca: Yeah. Good idea. Ran: It's a date, then. Moca: The sun looks so big tonight... Don't they say a big, orange sunset means clear skies the next day? I guess tomorrow's gonna be sunny then... I think it'll be a good day, Ran. Ran: Yeah.
The next day in Tsugumi's house:
Sonic was sleeping until he hears a alarm. Sonic: Huh? It's morning already? Sonic gets up as he takes a shower and brushes his teeth. Sonic: Today is a big day. I need to get some snacks for Tsugumi until she recovers. Sonic runs out of the house and goes to a convenience store. Lisa: Good morning? Sonic: Oh, hey. Lisa: I'll just act like I didn't notice. Sonic brought some snacks and puts it in the center. Sonic gives the girl a ring. Lisa: A ring? Sonic: Yep. It has money in it for about a million. Lisa: (A million?!) Lisa puts the snacks in the bag as Sonic carries it. Lisa: Have a good day. Sonic: You too. Lisa: That was weird. Sonic: Now that's done, time to head to the hospital.
In the hospital: Sonic goes in as he talks with the nurse. Nurse: There are people there in the room. Sonic: Oh, okay. Thanks. Sonic walks to the room. Sonic: Alright, I bought some snacks for- Sonic looks as she sees Tsugumi looking at him, while Tomoe and Himari were there. Sonic: Tsu-Tsugumi? Tsugumi: Sonic-chan. You're here. Sonic gasps as he drops the snacks on the floor. Sonic: Tsugumi...
