AKI: "Almost showtime."
SHIORIKO: "..."
AKI: "Don't worry, I know you can do this."
SHIORIKO: "Many of our fellow students will be attending. I cannot imagine how they will feel at the sight of their Student Council President wearing something like this."
AKI: "It worked for Setsuna."
SHIORIKO: "Yes, but they did not know that her true identity was Nana Nakagawa."
AKI: "Listen, they are here today because they support you. Just like you have supported them through everything."
SHIORIKO: "Support? But they question my advice, calling it forceful and negative..."
AKI: "And look how much you've changed since then. I'm really proud of you."
SHIORIKO: "It cannot change the fact that they may see me as ridiculous in this outfit."
AKI: "Ridiculous? No chance in hell. Besides, I think you look cute."
SHIORIKO: "C-Cute?!"
AKI: "Sorry, I forgot not every school idol wants to be branded as 'cute'. Maybe 'cool' or 'pure' or 'elegant' would be better."
SHIORIKO: "No, I'm just...happy to hear you say that I'm cute. Thank you."
AKI: "No problem, the auditorium seems to be filling up quite nicely. The whole club is here to see you perform."
...
*MEANWHILE*
AYUMU: "Phew, I'd better get back to my seat. I'll never forgive myself if I miss Shioriko's first show."
SHIRO: "Ayumu? Hey there!"
AYUMU: "Shiro? Hiii! Are you here to see Shioriko, too?"
SHIRO: "Of course, it's her debut after all. The thought of seeing our Student Council President up there on stage is amazing!"
AYUMU: "I know, right?!"
SHIRO: "Actually, there's something I've wanted to ask you. But I've been trying to find the time to say it."
AYUMU: "I guess there's a little time before the show starts."
SHIRO: "I was wondering if you'd like to go out someplace with me."
AYUMU: "Of course! I mean, we always hang out during fan club meetings, right? We should tell Yu to-"
SHIRO: "Um...maybe not with Yu this time."
AYUMU: "Oh, right she'll be in New York with Aki! Do you want me to invite Shioriko?"
SHIRO: "No, I'm saying that...just the two of us hang out. I really want to spend some time with you Ayumu."
AYUMU: "Just the two of us, are you sure?"
SHIRO: "I-I'm sorry, does it sound weird?"
AYUMU: "No, not at all! I mean, I'm more used to hanging out with boys than girls. So I'd love to join you."
SHIRO: "R-Really? That's great!"
AYUMU: "I'm free all day tomorrow, how does that sound?"
SHIRO: "Perfect! I'll text you the details of where to meet up, I promise that I won't disappoint you!"
...
AKI: "Looks like it's time, ready?"
SHIORIKO: "Knowing that you are supporting me, it feels like I can do anything."
AKI: "Well, I really care about you, Shioriko. I will always support you as your number one fan."
SHIORIKO: "Thank you!"
...
...
SHIORIKO: *Huff* *Pant* "Was that adequate?"
AKI: "Adequate? You knocked it out of the park! I've never seen anything like that! You're a natural, Shioriko!"
SHIORIKO: "Thank you. I hope that the true meaning of my lyrics reached the audience."
AKI: "Oh I'm certain it did, I happened to bump into one of the viewers on my way back here. So I gave them a backstage pass."
SHIORIKO: "Meeting fans already? I am not prepared for this..."
AKI: "Don't worry, I'm sure that you know this person very well."
KAORUKO: "Knock Knock!"
SHIORIKO: "Kaoruko?! Wh-What are you doing here?!"
KAORUKO: "Isn't it obvious? I wouldn't miss my little sister's school idol debut for the world!"
AKI: "Kaoruko was the first fan to request a ticket to your event, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "So, um... What did you think?"
KAORUKO: "I've been following school idols for as long as I can remember, but never in my life have I felt more excitement than what I felt seeing you up there. I'm so proud of you for following your heart, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "..."
AKI: "Wait, are you crying?"
SHIORIKO: "No... *Sniff* I... K-Kaoruko!" *HUG*
KAORUKO: "It's been a while since we hugged like this. You are an incredible school idol Shioriko, but you will never be better at anything than being my little sister. I love you."
SHIORIKO: "I love you too!"
Never thought a Mifune family reunion would almost bring me to tears, but I'm holding on.
AKI: "If you think Shioriko was incredible tonight, then just you wait. She's only going to get better and better with every performance."
SHIORIKO: "And then, Kaoruko, I will step foot onto the main stage of the festival that you created!"
AKI: "And as the new Chairman, every rule that you created will still remain. I will run this festival by the book!"
KAORUKO: "The two of you make a great team. It's like you were made for each other! You're both so intelligent, talented and you look so cute together!"
AKI, SHIORIKO: "C-Cute?!"
