AKI: "Shioriko, I'll leave the file you asked for right over here."
NANA: "Here are the documents concerning club activities. They are categorized by club. Please look over them when you can."
SHIORIKO: "Yes, thank you. I appreciate the help."
NANA: "No need to thank me, I'm just handing things over to the new Student Council President. My apologies, I should have done this task sooner."
SHIORIKO: "I should apologize, too. I kept putting this off because I had been so busy.
The two of you really are exceptionally competent. I can see it so clearly now that we are all working together like this.
What do you say? You can still do your club activities, but what do you say to helping me out with Student Council work on a regular basis?"
AKI: "While I dislike the idea of being a Vice-president who takes orders. I love the idea of helping a friend in need, it's the least I could do now that you're an official club member."
NANA: "You'll be run ragged with Student Council work, club activities, and all of your lessons, Shioriko. If there's ever anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask."
SHIORIKO: "Thank you."
AKI: "No problem. If your Student Council workload is lighter, you'll have more time to focus on our club activities."
SHIORIKO: "Yes, club activities..."
NANA: "Shioriko?"
SHIORIKO: "Um... I have given it some thought since we last spoke, and I think that I might not be cut out to be a school idol."
AKI: "Huh? But why?"
SHIORIKO: "I don't...believe in school idols the way the others do."
AKI: "Believe? You only have to want to be a school idol to become one. That is what separates being a fan and being an idol."
NANA: "Hm... I've been curious. Shioriko, what made you decide to join us in the first place?"
SHIORIKO: "My reason? Well... I was quite drawn to how your rigorous practicing every day created such a polished performance, and how you moved so many people emotionally.
I thought that maybe I could learn to express my own feelings better if I tried being a school idol."
NANA: "After you express your feelings, what then?"
SHIORIKO: "After that? Even if it's just a little bit, I want to make the world a better place than it is now. I don't want anyone to be unhappy.
I know that sounds ridiculous."
AKI: "It doesn't sound ridiculous. It's really great!"
SHIORIKO: "But still, it is an unreachable dream."
NANA: "Oh, I love it! How wonderful, Shioriko! I think that's what makes you so amazing!"
SHIORIKO: "Setsuna?"
NANA: "Most people don't have enough motivation to want to change the world, but you really want to do it! I think you should be sharing those feelings with everyone, Shioriko!"
AKI: "Setsuna's right. If you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, you should go for it!"
SHIORIKO: "You don't think I'm being unrealistic, or reckless?"
AKI: "Why would we? You're our friend, and it's your dream. Of course we're gonna want to help you achieve it."
NANA: "Exactly! I am so happy you shared your dream with us!'
SHIORIKO: "Th-Thank you! I am so glad I talked to the two of you."
AKI: "Say, tell you what. How about the whole club goes out to eat after school? My treat."
NANA: "Ooh! I like the sound of that!"
SHIORIKO: "It is important to maintain nutrition during times of hard work. I would love to."
