An's Father
Akito, welcome. The usual?


An's Father
Hm? Oh, she's out getting some stuff for me. She should be back soon.


An's Father
Here's your usual blend... Want some extra sugar with that?


An's Father
Haha.


An's Father
Oh, I heard that you helped An with something.


Musicians
The BAD DOGS, huh? Akito's new partner's got some real talent, don't you think...?


Musicians
Yeah, he does. Akito can probably just leave the singing to him and lip sync everything else.


Musicians
Hahaha! Why isn't he doing that already?


Musicians
I know, right? Kind of a “use or lose it” situation, you know?


An's Father
Are you still worried about An?


An's Father
A long time ago...? Oh, that's right. You did go through quite a lot.


An's Father
But you showed all those naysayers what you were made of and made it this far.


An's Father
Seeing my customers' opinions about you changing over time has been pretty fun to watch.


An's Father
Haha. I can tell.


An's Father
Now that you mention it, this might end up being a good experience for An.


An's Father
She'll be fine.


An's Father
Yes, she's my daughter and I love her, but she's yet to experience any sort of real loss or failure...


An's Father
Right. And her first major challenge came in the form of finding the “right partner”.


An's Father
Oh, there's also that time you guys performed in STAY GOLDEN and didn't do as well as you were hoping.


An's Father
But that's it. Those are the only times she fell short.


An's Father
There may be other things that I just don't know about or she hasn't told me...


An's Father
But compared to you and Toya, she's had to deal with far less. You've been climbing a big hill while she's been on flat ground.


An's Father
However, she still wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND.


An's Father
Plus, Arata's returned at the perfect time, so she may yet be faced with another significant challenge.


An's Father
Although, she didn't end up being the one to take the bait...


An's Father
Hahaha!


An's Father
Still, to think that her partner causing a stir would coincide with STAY GOLDEN both times.


An's Father
In hindsight, An made a good decision in terms of choosing a partner.


An's Father
Right. They're both good singers in their own right, but their partnership is still in its infancy...


An's Father
If something like this does happen again, I hope you and Toya will be there to help them out.

An's father
Great, thanks. Take a break if you like now.


An's father
Who's working for who here...? Fine, here...

*Knocking*
An
And every time I think that, I'm reminded of just how much I want to sing with Kohane by my side. I want to be a partner that she can respect and be proud of.


Akito
Despite everything that's happened, from what happened during events or anything you've done, you've never thought about finding a new partner, right?

An
I might have to ask you again about this since you and Toya have more experience with having a partner.

*Thump*
Kohane
Wah! A-An, I know I've been telling you this every time, but it's not safe to throw yourself at me like this!
