Such nice weather! I'm glad I decided to go outside for a walk! There's no keeping me indoors on a sunny day off. I wonder if the other club members are also out today?

Yaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Huh?! Wh-What was that just now? Oh, it's—

[Fade in/out.]

Ahhhhhhhhh. I worked up a great sweat. That felt amazing!

Heeey!

Oh, hi! Fancy seeing you here.

R-Really? Okay then. That sure was a unique form of training you were doing with the whole yelling while running thing.

Huh? No way, you heard me?! I made sure to double-check and triple-check for people around me, but I must've been careless…

Actually, you were quite loud. I think your voice probably traveled pretty far around. Why were you yelling?

To vent out the overflowing passion burning inside of me! I was made aware of the unknown powers still lurking within me after that whole episode the other day!

The other day? Oh! You mean the rebel-ish makeover?

So you knew? Did you hear about it from Chika or Kotori?

Yup, from Kotori. She mentioned it when we were texting last night.

She said you suggested a makeover to help her and Chika. You sure had a tough job on your hands, going for a rebel-ish look for those two.

I figured the more removed from their usual image, the more effective it would be.

There are no rules to being a school idol. When it comes to both singing and dancing, you show off your true prowess when your heart has been set free.

But then it's not uncommon for you to get locked into a certain image after a while. When that happens, you struggle to make any progress.

That's why you should act by looking at things from a new perspective. Being inspired through that will break the chains imprisoning your heart and restore your freedom.

I anticipated some kind of change within their hearts as well with the makeover.

But this is merely a theory of mine, so I was actually a little unsure about whether I really did help them or not.

Apparently, Kotori finished up her costume designing, and Chika got her song lyrics written, so you definitely did help them out enough!

Yes! I participated in the makeover as well, so when I overcame hardships alongside them, I was reminded that infinite possibilities also lay dormant inside of me.

I want to wake those possibilities up and show everyone a new side of Setsuna Yuki never seen before!

I want to keep taking on different challenges, break through the limits, and find a new version of me! In fact, I WILL succeed in doing just that!

If anyone can do it, it's you, Setsuna! Do you mind if I help you out?

I'd love you to help! I should be able to shine brighter than ever with you around! I want you to stay with me forever and ever!

*Chuckle* That sounds like some kind of proposal.

I don't mind if you see it that way at all!

Wait, what?!

*Giggle* Because I was born again after meeting you! And I'll continue to be reborn and renewed, for the rest of time.

So please do stay closer to me than anybody else and watch over the new me!
