*Snore* Zzz…

Kanata is deep in dreamland, isn't she?

She said she was tired and needed a break, but I never imagined her falling this deeply asleep!

You know Kanata's breaks never turn out to be just that.

Well, today's practice is over anyways. Hey, Kana! Wake up! Come with us before we leave you here all by your lonesome!

She's out.

I almost feel bad waking her up when she's so soundly asleep.

But we can't lock the door if she's in here. Let's just pick her up and carry her out.

If she's this deeply asleep, then maybe she's more exhausted than she usually looks.

…

Mmm, okay! Let's go with Setsu's plan! Does anyone know where Kana lives?

Hold on, are we going to carry her all the way home?!

I'll stay behind and wait until she wakes up. You guys can go.

What? But…

It'll be fine. I can just write today's log while I wait, and if someone comes I'll take responsibility and wake her up. Don't worry.

[Fade in/out.]

*Yawn*

Good morning, Kanata.

Morning… Where is everyone?

They left. We're the last ones here.

Oh. Sorry, you didn't have to wait for me.

Don't worry about it. Anyways, was practice tough? You're not pushing yourself beyond your own limits, are you?

No. Why do you ask?

Well, just thinking about it, I'd say it's hard doing after school practice while you're losing sleep over studying.

I guess so. But I chose this life. If it gets too hard, I'll take a real break.

I decided I was going to try hard at both my studies and being a school idol, for both Haruka and myself. It's tough, but it doesn't feel too tough.

Are you sure?

Yeah. That's why I'm so glad you brought the place I can do my best at back to normal.

Thanks. I'm glad you're in this club.

Kanata…

Myah?! I have a message from Haruka! She says dinner is almost ready and I need to come home!

Just wait, Haruka! I'm on my way, at top speed!

Kanata, hold on! Well, Kanata is still Kanata, I guess.
