An's Father
Welcome... Oh, it's you.


Taiga
Hey, is that any way to treat a customer?


An's Father
Alright, my loyal patron. What would you like?


Taiga
Whiskey...is what I want to say, but I'll have a coffee. Hot.


An's Father
Yeah, yeah.


Taiga
Hey, I didn't know you guys were here.

*Footsteps*

Taiga
You guys practice during your days off? Aren't you all hard-working!


Taiga
What are you talking about? Of course you are.


Taiga
Either way, I definitely think you guys have more moxie than most people around here...


Taiga
Hahaha! I'm serious.

An
Oh, that reminds me. Some stuff came up and I ended up telling everyone about how I ran away when I was little...


Taiga
Oh, that story...?! You really had the entire town in a panic that time.


Nagi
This is where we met Ken. Things weren't easy back then since he and Taiga didn't really get along at first...


Nagi
But everyone around town thought that they were good rivals and helped stop them from fighting. As a result, they began to understand each other better.


Nagi
Without them, we probably wouldn't be a team right now...


Taiga
Nagi said that...?

An
Yeah. That really stuck out in my mind and kinda want to hear more about what you guys were like back then.


Taiga
Yeah, we definitely had our fair share of disagreements when it came to how to interpret our music, the way we sang and whatnot...


An's Father
Pretty silly things in retrospect. Also, here's your coffee.

*Thud*

Taiga
Hey, thanks.


Taiga
And yeah... A lot of our disagreements and fights were about the dumbest things...


Taiga
However, back then, we weren't willing to bend on some things because of our convictions.


An's Father
Our convictions, huh...? I'm still not sure how to feel about that Hawaiian shirt of yours.


An's Father
Yeah, he wore this unbelievably lame Hawaiian shirt one time to this really important event...


Taiga
Whoa, hold on. How many times do I have to tell you? That wasn't my idea... It was a gift from some people who helped me out, so I had no choice.


Taiga
The plan was to wear it during a big event and have them see me wearing it.


Taiga
And you're just as guilty. I still clearly remember how you wore these pathetic-looking socks that day.


An's Father
Hey, I told you on more than one occasion that those were a part of my lucky outfit...


An's Father
Oh, um...


Taiga
Oh, they were the kind of pair with a little design stitched into each sock.


Taiga
They had these cute, little glasses of cream soda embroidered into them, right?


Taiga
That's right. Actually, they were...


An's Father
Whoa, stop right there!


An's Father
An, how...? That happened before we got married.

An
Hehe. I heard from Mom when I was little. We went out shopping together to get you a birthday present...


An's Mother
Before we were married, I gave your father socks this one time for his birthday.


An's Mother
He takes very good care of all the various outfits he wears during shows, including his flashy necklaces and such...


An's Mother
But he has a habit of losing individual socks because he doesn't show the same respect for them.


An's Mother
And he always ends up tossing the other from the pair, claiming that he can't wear them unless he has the matching set.


An's Mother
Isn't it a shame? Which is why I figured that he'd take better care of them if he received a pair as a birthday present.


An's Mother
Hehe. Your father was in love with the cream soda this cafe in the neighborhood made, so I decided to get a pair with some glasses of them embroidered in.


An's Mother
That's true now, but he couldn't get enough of sweets and sugary drinks back then.


An's Mother
Yes, very!


An's Father
Yes...


Taiga
Hahaha! But they still look terrible on you.


Taiga
I mean, you're so superstitious that you felt compelled to wear the socks that your then girlfriend got for you.


An's Father
Quiet, you...

An
Yeah... She's really nice and used to play with me all the time. Kinda like a sister who's much older.

An
But whenever she sang, she shined brighter than anyone else and made the stage feel really far away despite it usually being right in front of me.

An
But Aunt Nagi at her coolest became the person I came to really admire. She's the one who I placed on a pedestal.

An
I've been wanting to surpass RAD WEEKEND for the longest time, but I'd never thought about becoming better than Aunt Nagi until now.

I get that it's important to brood sometimes, but I always seem to get really lost or more confused.

An
Which is why I'm thinking about taking action instead! I know that I'll have to sit down to think about things sometimes, but I wanna spend more of that time working on my singing!

An
I know, right?! I guess I might start to brood over things down the line, but I'll just do what I can when that time comes.
