Hey, An...


Ramen Shop Owner
No, that's all good...

An, I'm...

An
(I couldn't look him in the eye... Not only that, he seemed a little hesitant about talking to me too.)

*Cafe Bell*

An's Father
Hey, welcome back.


An's Father
No customers at the moment. I closed a little early since we sold out during lunch.


An's Father
So, are you having trouble talking to everyone around town...?

An
Yeah, I sorta am... I keep clamming up for some reason. It's like I don't know how to face them...

An
But don't worry! I just need a little time to figure things out! I'll have things back to normal in no time!


An's Father
...


An's Father
You shouldn't have to say any of this. I mean, it's our fault for putting you in this situation.


An's Father
Okay, why don't we do this? You don't have to help out here for a while.


An's Father
Don't mind me. You reap what you sow, right?


An's Father
And you and your team spoke about trying to find more time to practice, right?


An's Father
Yes. You should focus on what you want to do right now.


An's Father
You can think about all this other stuff when you feel the time is right.

An's Father
I'm going to take this opportunity to teach you all everything I can.


An's Father
In other words, I'm betting on you using all that I have at my disposal.


An's Father
However, you're going to have to fully commit yourselves to singing and staying in shape. I'll be running you all ragged until you can't stand any longer, every single day.

Kohane
Run...? That's a little worrying for me since I don't have as much stamina as the rest of you guys.

Toya
I'm worried as well... It may be good for us to do some conditioning before we start practicing with Ken.

Kohane
I'd really like to have that again since I'm not sure if I'd be able to finish the course all on my own.

An
I don't feel great about it, but if it means us becoming better singers... Let's do our best together, Kohane!

Miku
Your dad's watched you sing a number of times before, right, An? Can you make any guesses based on that?

An
Hmm... He taught me how to sing when I was really little, so... I remember him talking about maintaining a good posture and how to project my voice.

MEIKO
Hehe. Practicing the basics is incredibly important. A good foundation can greatly affect how you adapt to specific situations.

An
There's gonna be some growing pains, but we just gotta do our best and keep each other's spirits up!


Kohane & Toya
Yeah!

Toya
You're more concerned about that? I thought you'd be worrying more about completing such a grueling workout.
