In the front entrance: Tsugumi: I wonder how it's going in there... Himari: How long has she been talking now...? Is it too long? Maybe it didn't go so well after all... Moca: She's bawling her eyes out 'cause it all went so well. She'll come back out once she calms down. Himari: Don't tease the poor girl, Moca... Sonic: Don't worry, I'm sure she's fine. Ran comes out of the house. Tomoe: Ah, Ran! Ran: ..... Himari: Ran? Tsugumi: How did it go...? Ran: Dad's coming to Girl Jam. He said he'll watch our show. Himari: So that means...! Ran: It means we need to get to the studio and get rehearsing. We have a chance to change his mind. Tomoe: Tch, there she goes again... never sharing her feelings. Tsugumi: Ran-chan, this means you can stay in the band, right?
Himari: It sure sounds like it! Horray! I'm so happy! I was so worried back there! Sonic: That's great. Moca: Ran? Your eyes are red. Were you crying like a baby? Ran: No I was not! Moca: Oh come on, you can tell your old friend Moca. Ran: I-I wasn't crying! Tomoe: Ran... Himari: Ahh, Moca made her cry! Moca: Not my fault. Ran: Moca... you idiot...! Moca: Me? Why am I the idiot?

Tomoe: You really did it, huh Ran. Ran: I did... I did... I mean... I was so worried, too...! Himari: I'm so glad we can still play together, Ran. Afterglow just wouldn't be the same without the six of us! Tsugumi: That's right! Sonic: Great job, Ran... Sonic looks down as he was thinking of staying with the band. Sonic: (Should I stay with them? I can't even do rehearsals with girls.) Ran: You guys, I... Thanks. For everything. Himari: Ran! We should be thanking you! It's your music that brings this band together, after all. Now come on, let's go to the studio! Tsugumi: Okay! Wow, look at that! A beautiful sunset! Moca: Ooh, you're right. It's so bright. Just like all our childhoods, huh. Tomoe: What are you talking about? Sonic hears a ring from Tsugumi's phone. Sonic: Hmm? Tsugumi, your phone. Tsugumi: Hmm? Tsugumi checks her phone as news popped in. Sonic and Tsugumi were both surprised. Sonic: Alright! Tomoe: What happened? Sonic: It says that boys can join girl bands! Same with girls! Himari: What?! Moca: Ooh. That's unexpected. Ran: That's good. Tsugumi: That's great, Sonic-chan! Sonic: Yeah, but... do you want me to join your band? Tsugumi: Of course you can join our band! Tomoe: You're the one who's there for us! Himari: You're always helping us! Moca: You're a good person. Ran: Yeah. Sonic: You guys... Thanks! Alright then, you're new member of Afterglow is here! Everyone was laughing. Himari: Let's all make a wish on the sunset! I which that our live show goes perfectly! Hey, hey, hoh! Everyone was silent.
Himari: What?! You're not joining in this time, either?! Ran: Hoh. Moca: Are you okay, Ran? Ran: I-I'm fine! Moca: You didn't have to do that. You've gone bright red. Ran: Shut it, you. Tsugumi: Hahaha... It is a relief though. We're finally back to the same as always. Tomoe: Now all we need to do is get through Girl Jam. We'll put on the best performance we can. For Ran... no, for all six of us. Tsugumi: Yeah! Sonic: Umm... how am I gonna play without a instrument? Tsugumi: Don't worry, we'll all go and find a guitar for you. Sonic: Thanks, Tsugumi-chan. The rest were surprised. Himari, Tomoe, Moca, Ran: Tsugumi-chan? Sonic: Forget what I said, okay?! Let's go!
In the studio lounge: Himari: H-hey... do you think we should take a break? It's been a while since last practice, and... I-I'm getting kinda tired... Tomoe: She's right, we've been going on quite a while. Let's rest for a minute. Himari: Y-yay. Sonic was testing out his new blue guitar.

Sonic: It's perfect! Thanks, Tsugumi! Tsugumi: Hehe, it's no problem, i also brought some cake. Sonic: Cake! Himari: Ooo! I'm so hungry! Tomoe: Hey! Leave a slice for me, too! Tsugumi: Hehe.
In the studio lobby: Moca: Ran. Ran: Moca. What is it? Moca: Hmm? I just thought you might be feeling lonely. Since your dad's not calling anymore. I mean... Ran: Wow, Moca, that's... Moca: Ran. I'm glad we got to see the sunset together again. Ran: Yeah. Moca: And Ran. Thanks for coming back to us. Welcome home. Ran: It's good to be home, Moca. Sonic: Hey, you too! There's cake over here! Hurry before we eat all of it! Moca: Cake?! Wait for me! Ran: Hahaha.
