AKI: "Another day of intense practice, huh?"
MAI: "Ahaha! I worked up a good sweat!"
EMMA: "It's amazing that you can practice like this all the time."
MAI: "Thanks, you two. You're really helping me out...although I feel bad making you watch me."
EMMA: "No way! I'm super happy to get a front-row seat."
AKI: "It's fine, I had some free time on my hands. But it's really inspiring watching you, I'm learning a lot. I should actually be thanking you."
MAI: "That makes me feel better! Thanks to you, everything's coming together nicely. If I keep this up, I can nail my final live show without embarrassing myself."
AKI: "I'm sure it'll be your best live show ever. There won't be a frown in sight."
MAI: "I sure hope so, but I can't get cocky. I've gotta focus and give it my all until the performance."
AKI: "The world really is something. I can't believe we have such an incredible school idol in our presence. I'm completely your fan now."
MAI: "Ahaha! Flatter me all you want, it won't get you anywhere."
EMMA: "But...I won't be able to hear this song live for much longer. *Sigh* It really is a shame."
AKI: "I know how you feel. It's a really great song."
MAI: "It is. Truth be told, I was sad I wouldn't get to hear that song anymore too."
AKI: "But you're going to take over the studio."
MAI: "Well, it sounds pretty cool to say I'm taking it over, but I actually have a long road ahead of me...*Giggle*
You know, I was so upset the song would be going away, I cried and begged my older school idol friend to do something about it."
EMMA: "What? You did?"
MAI: "I just unloaded all my feelings on her, about how in love I was with that song. And do you know what she said?
'Then how about I pass it down to you? Of course, I wouldn't be suggesting this if I didn't think you were someone who'd cherish it even more than I do'."
AKI: "So that's what happened."
MAI: "Yeah! And then she drilled me on it every single day! Man, that was rough! Ahaha!
That's why I sing it with so much love. She cared for it so much and entrusted me with it. I always put all my love into it. More love than anyone else in the world!"
EMMA: "Oh wow. So that's why I'm so drawn to your singing."
AKI: "The power of love is almighty."
EMMA: "I love the songs you compose for me too. I'm going to cherish them and put all my love into them as I sing them too!"
MAI: *Giggle* "I'm so glad I asked you guys to help.
Next I'm gonna ask you to help me get ready for the live show! Today's Friday, the show is Sunday, I've gotta use my time well!"
AKI: "A friend messaged me about hanging out tomorrow. But today, I will do everything I can to help you."
MAI: "Thank you."
