Rina?

Oh, hey.

I wasn't expecting to bump into you here. Out shopping?

No, not shopping.

Or maybe a date?

No, not that either. I'm on my way to see someone.

Um… Is something troubling you?

What makes you say that?

It might just be in my head, but you sounded nervous to me.

You're a bona fide Sherlock Holmes.

Who are you on the way to meet right now?

The people who used to come to all of my events ever since my first live show but haven't been showing up lately.

I'm on my way to ask them why they've stopped coming. They might be sick or something, so I'm worried.

Do you mind if I come along with you?

I don't mind… But is it really okay for you to?

Of course. I'm curious myself, so take me along.

Okay, then let's go.

All right.

[Fade in/out.]

…

Is it bothering you?

Yeah. I'm glad they weren't sick, but I didn't expect that to be the reason. I was completely oblivious.

“I'm happy you're getting more fans and it's getting more exciting, but I want to quietly listen to what you have to say and to your songs.”

“I felt like the people around me were way more enthusiastic than me and that I didn't fit in. That's why I've stopped going.”

So that's why they stopped showing up. I guess that would make it difficult to attend.

Yeah.

But everyone did mention that they didn't stop liking you or anything, you know?

If anything, they said they were happy you were getting more fans and that they want you to keep giving it your all.

…Yeah.

I want to keep everyone happy, but everyone's so different. It's hard to make sure everyone's happy.

Everyone has their own way of thinking, after all.

Yeah. I'm glad I know the reason now. I want to do something for all the people connected to me, no matter how difficult it might be. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”
