No, that's impossible for me! Goodbye!

Shizuko?! Shizukooooo!

[Fade in/out.]

*Huff* *Huff* What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

Kasumi…

I don't want you to say that's impossible! I mean, I'm obviously the cuter one, but you're incredible when it comes to expressing yourself and creating your own world!

*Giggle*

This isn't funny! I really do think that way!

This is just like that time when you were the one to come running after me, isn't it?

Huh?

Remember? Back when it was just the five of us in the club?

[Fade in/out.]

Sorry. With how I am right now, I can't say for certain that I can do it.

That's not true. Please reconsider, Shizuku.

No, that's impossible for me! I want to go back and study from the ground up!

[Fade in/out.]

And then I ran off. Don't you remember?

Oh, you said the same thing. Wait, huh? What's the meaning of all this? Since you're reminiscing, does that mean I can rest my mind at ease? Was that all an act just now?

Yup, I was just doing a bit of acting. That was a scene out of the theater club's next performance, and it just happened to feature the same line I said back then.

I was just wondering how real I could make my portrayal.

…

Shizuko, you jerk! I hate you! Argh! And I got all serious too! *Sob*

[Fade in/out.]

Oh, there you are! Guys! I found Shizuku and Kasumi!

Everyone's here?!

Shizuku! I hate goodbyes!

That's right! I love your performances, Shizuku!

Me too! If something's on your mind, let's all work together to solve it. We want you to stay a school idol forever and ever!

U-Um… Well, uhhh…

*Sniff* Go ahead and get angry at her, guys. What she said just now was all an act. *Sob*

What?!

I-It was an act?! Th-That was way too convincing!

I totally believed it! You sure are a talented actor… Wow.

Phewww! Th-Thank goodness.

Now do you regret what you did after seeing everyone's reactions? Don't you EVER say those things again! We're all going to be school idols forever! Got that?

Kasumi… Everyone… I'm really, really sorry. I'll never do anything like that ever again! I want to continue being school idols with everyone forever and ever as well!
