Everyone's so late…

I'm sure they'll be here soon, but…let's head back for now and get ready.

*Huff* *Huff* I've finally found you, Lili!

Yoshiko! And everyone!

I've… I've been DYING to see you!

Eek! Yoshiko?!

Lili! You can't go starting your recital without me around, okay?!

Y-You're choking me, Yoshiko! Did something happen to you guys?

Anyway, I knew you'd be here so I was waiting for you. I'm so glad you made it.

All's well that ends well, right, Yoshiko?

You're really late. I was worried sick.

I'm sorry. We were planning on getting here sooner, but…

*Chuckle* Don't be. I'm not mad or anything. Thanks for coming.

A certain somebody was on the side of the road crying about never being able to see her precious Lili again.

Huh?!

Don't you dare! I wiped my eyes and left those tears behind in the labyrinth of the magic metropolis!

The show is about to start soon, so we're gonna go wait in our seats.

Sure. And you don't have to yell or anything, but…I hope you'll be cheering us on.

This is amazing… It's a packed house.

I could've held a live show here for everyone if it weren't for Riko and Maki's recital.

*Chuckle* We can keep that in mind for later.

The performance is starting soon. Let's cheer them on in our hearts so that their recital is a big success from start to finish!

[Fade in/out.]

I'm so glad everyone made it here. Aren't you, Maki?

Yeah…

Um, Maki?

Oh, sorry! I think my nerves kind of got the better of me.

Wow, so you actually get nervous too…

Wh-What, you think I wouldn't?!

Besides, this is supposed to be your recital anyway. Nobody's really here to see me.

You know, there was once a time that I was so anxious, I couldn't even play piano anymore.

So, what'd you do to get over that?

Chika and all of my friends were there for me. It was thanks to them always being there for me that I was able to play again.

You're right. I have so many people who are always there for me too… Including you, Riko.

Maki…

I'm glad I got the chance to practice with you, even if it was only for a little bit. Let's put on an amazing performance and show everyone just how hard we practiced.

Yeah. Let's put on our own special piano four-hands recital!
