Honoka Ep. 14: My Answer's within Reach!
Honoka is searching for what she wants to do for her solo live show. She's close to finding an answer, but she still seems glum…
Ayumu
Yay, Honoka! Welcome to Nijigasaki!
Ai
Your solo live show the other day was SO good!
Honoka
Thanks! You Nijigasaki girls have more experience doing solo live shows than me, so hearing you say that means a lot!
Ayumu
You're going to perform another solo live show, right? I'm looking forward to it!
Setsuna
It's as if our greatest rival has appeared. We need to focus in as well.
Ai
The more rivals we have, the more fun it'll be! Maybe you'll keep this up and branch out completely as a solo artist?
Honoka
Whaaat? I-I don't know about that.
Player
Um, so you came here today to ask the Nijigasaki girls about their solo efforts, right Honoka?
Honoka
Right! I hope you'll give me some good insights!
[Fade in/out.]
Honoka
*Sigh* I already knew this, but it's really amazing that Nijigasaki's school idols are giving it their all as solo performers!
Honoka
I saw so many things, which can only be done in solo performances or activities, that I want to try for myself.
Honoka
But it also made me think that it'd be kinda hard for me, personally, to continue along as a solo artist.
Honoka
………
Player
(It looks like Honoka's so close to discovering what she wants to do, but her feelings are still wavering.)
Player
Honoka? Something's occurred to me.
Player
If you're not completely on board about this, then maybe you should quit the whole solo gig.
Honoka
*Gasp*
Honoka
W-Well…
Player
Honoka…
| Option 1: “You look more at home when you're with everyone.” |
|---|
| Player I feel like you're more able to be yourself when you're with everyone in ÎĽ's. Honoka You might be right about that. I mean, I've performed with everyone in ÎĽ's for so long now. |
| Option 2: “Performing solo is also great, but…” |
| Player Your solo show was really incredible and moving. But maybe continuing down the path of a solo artist isn't the right direction for you. Honoka I think I really do prefer being together with everyone. |
Honoka
I'm so sorry for making you worry about me!
Honoka
To be honest, I don't know what to do. Every time I think about my solo efforts, I can't help but think about ÎĽ's.
Player
Yeah, I was the one who wanted you to perform as a solo artist, so maybe I pushed you too much.
Honoka
But it's also true that you discovered my appeal AND that the solo live show was a bunch of fun.
Honoka
When we went to see the live show the other day, and when I heard the stories from the Nijigasaki girls, I was excited to go solo too. You even gave me the push I needed…
Honoka
Being able to juggle both my solo activities and being in ÎĽ's would've been the best, but my inability to get it together is really tearing me apart.
Honoka
But I can't perform a solo live show with only half of my heart in it. That's exactly why I want to find the answer within me!
Honoka
So just… Just give me a little longer. I'll make sure I find the answer.
Honoka
I'm sorry for being all indecisive. It's not like me, is it?
Player
Don't be sorry! I'll wait for as long as you need!
Player
After all, the sight of you trying to find that answer looks so cool to me.
Player
No matter what answer you come up with, I want to respect that choice the most.
Honoka
Right. Thank you!
Player
(I hope Honoka finds an answer that sits well with her…)
