I can't stay sad about this forever. The best thing for me to do is use the next live show to erase my last performance's failures!

Yeah! Now you're back to your usual self!

I am! Let's make this a live show I can proudly show Shioriko! I can't let myself get down over this!

And more than anything, I want to sing a song to everyone who supports me that's packed 100% full of my feelings.

So…I'm asking you once more to help me accomplish that.

[Fade in/out.]

Now, that being said! I'd like to get everyone's help on coming up with a song for my next live show!

So you say, but you look like you've already got an idea of what you're gonna do.

*Giggle* Ai, you're so sharp! So take this!

Whoa! What's with the hugging? I mean thanks and all, but what's going on, Setsu?

And one for all of you! A hug here, a hug there, a hug for you and you and you!

Eek!

Whoa!

Guh!

Wah!

Wh-What's gotten into you?

Ahaha! This is a hint about Setsuna's new song.

A hint about her new song? What does that mean?

I've gotta pour all my love into it, so I'm just reaffirming my love!

Hmm? I don't really get it.

*Giggle* I think she means her love for all of us.

Exactly!

What?! But I thought Setsuna's new song would be inspired by her love for her favorite anime and stuff, like usual.

Well, I realized something important talking to Shioriko. When I looked into my heart and thought about what I really love… It wasn't my favorite characters. It was you all.

Setsuna…

Shioriko, thank you so much! It was thanks to you that I realized what I needed to focus on.

And thank you for validating me. Our viewpoints may be different, but you didn't reject me. You accepted me… So I feel confident in being who I am.

And that's why at my next live show, I'm going to sing a song that's full of all my feelings of love!

Of course, thinking about what other people love is wonderful in its own right. But it's hard for me to love those things in the same way they do.

You don't love something because you decide to love it. You just realize that you already do.

So I'm not going to sing a song that tries to speak on behalf of others or do what they want of me. I'm going to sing from the heart about what I'm feeling!

Some of my fans might notice that how I feel is a bit different from how they feel as a result. But I can't help that.

A world where everyone can freely say what they love isn't one where people push what they love on others. It's one where no one denies or rejects others for what they love!

A world where no one rejects what other people love, huh? Yeah, that's exactly it. Let's get everyone to see what it is that you love, Setsuna!

Yes! This time I'll definitely set their hearts on fire!

So ladies, I want an even bigger hug-fest!

All right, come at me with everything you've got!

[Fade in/out.]

Ahahaha!
