AKI: "I CAN'T GIVE UP! I absolutely refuse to! If I'm that weak-hearted about it, I won't be able to do anything!"

AYUMU: "That's true, but is the School Idol Festival really that important?!
When we made the club official, you said 'I promise to always be on your side, no matter what happens. I'll cheer you on with everything I've got.' I don't feel that now..."

AKI: "Don't make me repeat myself... This is bigger than us. This is the ENTIRE nation!
EVERY school idol is saying how they want to perform with us and that this event will make their dreams come true.
We have our dream, but realize that this is for everyone else's dreams too!
µ's! Aqours! Liella! Saint Snow! A-RISE! Shinonome! Touou! And every other school idol and fan... All of them are counting on me to make this event happen. If this event fails then everyone's dreams will die, if that happens then every school idol will suffer all because my efforts weren't good enough...
That's why this event HAS to succeed, NO...MATTER...WHAT...
This is everyone's dream. I have to make these sacrifices for this greater good.
You understand that too, don't you?"

AYUMU: "Yeah... I do."

AKI: "See, that was easy, wasn't it? If you understand then I'll get back to contacting volu-"

AKI: "See, that was easy, wasn't it? If you understand then I'll get back to contacting volu-"

AKI: "......What did you just say to me?"

AYUMU: "This might be me being selfish. No, I know it is. Everything you've said is right. We've all come so far, and we can't back down now. I'm just as aware that we have to do it.
But right now... I feel so lonely I can't stand it."

AKI: "..."

AYUMU: "And it's not just me. Everyone else said they feel the same way. They said there's something missing without you, that they can't work hard because you're not there."

AKI: "You clearly don't understand then. I repeat, I am taking whatever sacrifices are necessary for the greater good.
And don't lie to me."
