AYUMU: "Please help us out! Let's all build the School Idol Festival together!
It's going to be really exciting and something to remember forever. Let's all have fun and make it a blast!"
AKI: "AYU!!!"
AYUMU: "Huh?!"
AKI: *Huff* *Puff* "I couldn't sit still when I saw your live stream."
AYUMU: "Um... Wh-What are you..."
AKI: "WAIT! Let...Let me go first..."
AYUMU: "Huh?"
I did the one thing a Suzuki never does. But this transcends my family's values, this is serious...
I dropped to my knees and begged.
AKI: "I'm sorry! I was wrong! I was the one who said we should all work together and have fun creating the School Idol Festival, yet my goal somehow ended up being just to pull the event off.
I completely ignored how you and everyone else felt. What was the point if I couldn't see that?
But you saw it. You're the one who noticed that I had lost sight of everything around me, and you were just trying to tell me, but I said such horrible things to you when we had that arguement... I'm such an idiot...
A-And also, I saw the present you gave me. I could tell how much thought you put into it for me, and I was really touched.
Then I was filled with so much regret. I hurt you when you were just concerned about me. My heart hurt thinking about what if we couldn't manage to reconcile, and I've been so upset. Thinking I could run away from it all, quit the club and lock myself away.
But once again I was wrong... I'm so, so sorry! I might not be in a position to say this, but I'm nothing without you!
You complete me Ayu... I'm nothing without you...
So I want to go back to how things were with you! Please! Can we?"
AYUMU: "W-Wait! I said a bunch of horrible things as well!"
AKI: "No, you didn't..."
AYUMU: "I did. I knew you were working hard for us, yet I put my own feelings first and made some selfish demands.
Not only that, but I skipped practice, did nothing to help, and took it easy all on my own, while everyone was having a hard time. For that, I'm really, really sorry!
I only realized how important you are to me and how completely absorbed I'd gotten by school idols after spending time away by myself!
I want to continue being a school idol with everyone again. I want to patch things up with you and work hard together again. And I want the School Idol Festival to go ahead!
So please, Aki...let's be friends again!"
I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I ran and jumped onto that stage to give Ayu a giant hug. To hold her close and to never let my best friend ever leave me again.
AKI: "Of course! Make sure you slap me back to my senses when I ever lose sight of everything around me again."
AYUMU: "Ugh... I'm so sorry about that. But I will, as long as you make sure you continue to watch over me."
AKI: "Ayu... Thanks. We're in this together, to the bitter end."
AYUMU: "And thank you for always being by my side, for supporting me, and for inviting me to become a school idol!"
AKI: *Laugh*
AYUMU: *Giggle*
AI: "Oooooh! We happened to assemble here in time for Ayumu and Prez's public display of affection!"
KASUMI: "This is being streamed all around the world, you know?"
KANATA: "We're school idols, so we can't show everyone what goes on behind the curtains."
AYUMU: "Wh-What are you all doing here?!"
RINA: "Everyone wanted to come see you once they saw your live stream. Right?"
EMMA: "Yeah! I'm so glad you're back."
KARIN: "Just like how something was missing without our Boss around, things just didn't feel the same without you, Ayumu."
SHIZUKU: "I'm so...so glad..." *Sob*
KASUMI: "Whoa, are you crying, Shizuko?!"
SHIZUKU: "A-As if... W-Wahhh!"
KASUMI: "C-C'mon, you're gonna make me cry too... *Sniff* Aww, Ayumu!"
AYUMU: "Everyone, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Thank you for saving a place for me to come back to!"
SETSUNA: "We wouldn't have it any other way. We're all friends with the same dream, after all..." *Sob*
KARIN: "Come on, the whole world is watching you cry right now!"
EMMA: "How many people are watching right now?"
RINA: "A huge amount. Rina-chan Board says, 'Overwhelmed!'"
AI: "So many people have been listening to Ayumu pour her heart out..."
AKI: "H-Hey look at the comments. Everyone's being so encouraging."
SETSUNA: *Chuckle* "Considering all the support we're getting, I suppose we've got to give it our best shot."
AKI: "Yeah. Let's.... Let's give this one more shot. One last all or nothing gambit and make sure the School Idol Festival goes ahead!"
AYUMU: "Make sure you let us help out this time, too."
AKI: "Of course! I know I can't do anything all on my own now."
AYUMU: "But first, you're going to need these."
AKI: "M-My presidential pin! My pen! And...my new notebook that I received from a very special friend!"
AYUMU: *Giggle*
AKI: "Let's all work together!"
EVERYONE: "Yeah!"
AYUMU: "Ack! I-I forgot we were still streaming!
U-Um... To everyone watching this live stream, I'm sorry things got a little chaotic during it.
All of the other club members are here, and I've also managed to patch things up with the Club President.
Thank you, everyone, for all of these comments!"
She's right, these comments of positivity won't stop coming!
AYUMU: "We will make sure the School Idol Festival is a fun-filled event! I hope you will all join us together in the excitement!
I'll now finish things off by pouring all of.my current emotions into a song. This song is very important to me, since this is where it all began for me. 'Yume e no Ippo'."

*MEANWHILE*
???: "Such a passion for friendship, such a passion for the School Idol Festival... Heh, I never thought I would learn anything from a Suzuki, but his determination has shown me that now is not the time to give up.
I think it's about time that I meet the heir of the Suzuki family in person."
KANON: "¡Hola! I-I mean... Hello. Hm? Is that the Nijigasaki girls?"
???: "Indeed, they're currently broadcasting live."
KANON: "Wow! Are you interested in school idols?"
???: *Chuckle* "Something like that."
KANON: "I just so happen to be one myself! It's become my dream to perform at the School Idol Festival!"
???: "To think that such a small idea at first, would grow into something this big..."
KANON: "Huh?"
???: "Please don't mind me, I'm just talking to myself again..."
KANON: "Oh. S-Sorry! I almost forgot! What would you like to order?'
???: "I'll take a Americano, black, to go."
KANON: "Coming right up! Um... What name should I write on it?'
???: "It's Kaoruko... Kaoruko Mifune."
