sypnopsis- as ako is outdone again and again by other drummers in different bands, she starts to wonder what good she's for and loses her passion for drumming, but rinko shows her what she sees in her soundroselia exits the stage with another show gone right. the two girls ako and rinrin feel satisfied with their performance anf want to selebrate. "lets go to a diner!" ako suggests. the rest of roselia agrees and begin packing up their instruments, but as yhey leave they hear yhe crowd shout louder than theyve ever heard. ako peeks through the curtians and finds afterglow performing. afterglow has alwahs been a huge rival to roselia, and yukina pays them no mind as she exits the building with a glare. but ako cant get herself to leave. when she sees her sister tomoe drumming, she cant help but feels sad for herself. she knows that she shouldnt, she wants to be proud of her big sister and cbeer her on, but instead, ako feels as if she pails in comparison to her abilities. "Ako! are you alright?" rinrin breaks her out of her trance "the girls have already started heading towards the diner, what are you still doing hetr?"rinrin was always yhete for ako to support and encourage her through her drumminy. ako acknowledged her efforts and decided to start following yhr rest of yhr girls "sorry rin rin,i jist liked watchibg yhe performance."while at the diner, ako cant stop thinking about afterglows performanve. its not just tomoe she was jealous of. dhe didnt know how she hasnt realized it until now, but shes been to countless shows with drjmmers far better than her. saya, maya, tsukushi, masking, they all exceeded while ako was just. there.her mood was incredibly noticable and the other members of roselia began asking if she was alright, but ako just smilrd and nodded. rinko didnt need to ask thouth, she already knew something was wrong, and she wpuld confrony her about it once the girls have gone home.everyone finished their meals and weny their seperate ways. ako begins sulking home, but rin rin asks her "can i hang out at your house for a while?" ako is taken back by thr wuedyion, but dtill says yes.the walk home was silent, but as soon as the two stepped through the door, rinko asked "ako, whats wrong?" ako coudlnt hold it in anymore. she burst into tears and ran into her bedroom. rinko was shocked and tried to run after her, but the door was slammed in her fave and locked as ako cried by herself. "ako?" rinko said softly "please come out. whatever it is youre updet about, you can talk about it with me..." "STFU!" ako shouted back. ako paused for a second, and then began sobbing again."im not good enough rin rin. i was barely accepted into roselia. i had to beg my way in to be stabding alongsife you guys. i thought id be happy this was but im not nearly good enough to be in this band. my skills hardly amount to any of the other drummers. i try my best to get better, but i dont see the point in it anymote. ill never be good enough....""thats not true!!!" rinko shouts "ive always looked up to you! your sound and the way you play makes me want to imtpove my own skills! everyone in roselia feels the same. we all look up to you ako. youre important to all of us. we all need you here.... but i..." rinko pauses. ako swings the door open. shes stopped crying but tears are still rolling down her face "you what?..."rinko takes a deep breath in "i love you.". theres a short pause between the two as they stare at eachother with tears starting to form in rinkos eyes orbs. she expects rejection but ako pulls her into a hug and begins crying again. "rinrin... i love you too!"rinko hugs her back and sqeezes het tightly. they pull away, but their faces are inches from eachother now. they both close their eyes before leaning in fir a kiss. their lips stay together for a long time until they pull away again. akos tears have dried up and now dhes smiling. ako doesnt feel resentment anymore. she doesnt feel jealousy. or sadness. or anger. all she knows is that she loves roselia. she loves drumming. and she loves rinko, more than anything.shoutout to lucindaTHE END
