p1
>Thank you, Himari-chan.
>I'll take it from here.

>Just like Shiho-senpai said,
>it might be difficult for their relationship to go back to the way it was.

>But
>to end it in such a way
>would just be too sad.

>So please,
>I'm begging you...

p2
>To each their own feelings...

p3
>...Honestly.

>How cowardly of you to use Hima like that.

>Are you really one to talk?

>Haha...

>This is time I could be performing, so let's just get this over with.
>What do you want?

p4
>I
>heard about it.
>About how you want to break things off with me.

>Are you serious about that?

>Yes.

>You don't mind, do you?

>We were only ever acquainted as bandmates, after all.

p5
>Hey...
>Shiho.

>Do you hate me
>that badly?

>It's not a matter of like or dislike.
>I just don't wanna get involved with you anymore.

p6
>Don't try to play it off like that.

>If you really hate me then come out and say it.

>Let me go.

>You're just doing this
>because you wanna hear why I quit the band, right?

p7
>Is it because you've realised you can't beat us on stage?

>You didn't have to call me all the way here just for that...
>You're wrong!

>No...
>Maybe...
>you're right...

>It's true
>that I do want to hear why.

>I was irritated at you for just quitting like that.
>Not knowing the reason why you quit really makes me feel sick...

p8
>However,
>that's not my main objective.

>I
>had fun being in a band with you, Shiho.
>You say that you wanted to quit the whole time,

>but I believe that time we spent together wasn't a lie.
>...I want to believe.

>That
>is why

p9
>I want to make up with you
>and once again

>be friends with you, Shiho.

p10
>I should've done this sooner, huh?
>I just had to be stubborn about it...
>I'm really sorry.

>Friends...

>I see.
>Friends... huh.

>...
>Shiho?

p11
>You're good.
>The girl you love gets herself a lover, yet you can still smile like some idiot and act like the best friend.

>Eh...?

>Such a pathetic way of living
>is impossible for me.

>...What?
>Are you trying to pick a fight?

p12
>Not at all.
>I respect you.
>I can't live the way you do.

>Stop that!
>Why are you bringing my love life into this!?
>That doesn't have anything to do with this!
>Yes it does!

>I can't just keep staying with the one who broke my heart!
>I can't even think of wanting to be together with someone even if my love doesn't come true!

p13
>That's why I left SS.
>Because I didn't want to feel so pathetic.

>W-...
>Wait.
>I'm not...
>following any of this...

>I've said all this
>and you still don't get it?
>Eh... Erm...

p14-15
>Honestly.
>You're still as dense as ever.

>Aki.

>I'm saying that I was in love with you.

p16
>Eh?
