Hanayo! Kotori! I'm so sorry!

Huh?

Where did that come from, Honoka?

I was way too insistent with what I said earlier.

I started getting pushy without considering how you both felt. I promise I'll do better!

No… You don't need to apologize, Honoka.

But I made you guys feel bad!

I don't feel bad at all!

Your insistent comments are what got me so worked up, thinking about how I might have my own amazing qualities.

Right, Kotori?

Yeah!

You mean it?! Thank goodness.

While you're at it, why don't the three of you try to work out which amazing qualities each of you has?

Great idea! I'm in. I'll start us off!

I think it's amazing how you keep our individual personalities in mind, Hanayo.

Like, you're always helping us to think over how we best express our individuality through our performances, right?

*Giggle* I'm happy to hear that. Though there have been times where I regretted it and felt like I might have pushed my own agenda.

You didn't do anything like that. I think it's something really lovely about you.

You find what makes each of us unique and then praise us for it, Hanayo. I always appreciate that!

Th-Thank you!

I see. So that was actually a good thing!

Kotori, you're always paying close attention to your surroundings. You always check to see if we're okay whenever there's a problem. That makes me happy.

*Giggle* You really think so? I worried about seeming like I was a bit of a busybody.

Not at all. I always feel really reassured that you're watching out for us, Kotori. It's one of the best things about you.

*Giggle* That's lovely to hear.

And Honoka, you're always driving forward towards your goal. You may drag us along with you, but that just shows how powerful and amazing you are!

Thank you! *Giggle* I'm pretty confident in how powerful I am once I get started!

Oh, but sometimes I do get carried away like before. Doesn't that make trouble for you guys?

It's no trouble at all! It's lots of fun how we keep moving forward when we're with you. I hope you always keep pushing ahead!

Really? So…it's okay that I'm like that!

I guess the stuff I think of as weak points is more like part of my charm to the people around me.

Sounds like you've gotten a bit more self-confident!

I've never thought of myself as amazing before. *Giggle* It feels a bit funny.

Aww, Hanayo! Kotori!

[Fade in/out.]

Thanks for today! I thought I'd really blown it, but I managed to talk to both of them thanks to your help!

Oh, Honoka.

Also, I think that by looking for what's great about each other and offering each other support, we can appreciate ourselves better as well.

Or something like that… *Giggle* I'm so happy!

*Chuckle* That's great, Honoka!
