Yeah. [ laughs weakly. ] I haven't really touched my guitar since we got back. It's hard to even look at it, because I think of her every time.

You'll be able to play the guitar again. Maybe not today, and maybe not for a long while, but... It'll get easier with time, okay? This stupid competition shouldn't permanently ruin something that was so special to you.

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, no, I - there's no way I can give it up forever. It's just... time, like you said. Figuring out a way to do it that doesn't make me think of... that.

[ he takes a deep breath. ]

Isshiki-san almost stopped singing for good once before. [ the man from the memory monika had seen before - the singer of the band that kazuki looks up to who hana had been willing to do anything for. ] But he managed to keep going, and his music started to reach even more people than before. I'll get there, too, eventually. Just... not right now.

[rewriter]

Yeah... And that's totally okay. You're allowed to take as much time as you need, you know? Healing is a process.

[teenrebellion]

[ a slow nod. ]

Yeah, I know. Thanks, Monika.

...You deserve a chance to heal, too, though.

[rewriter]

... Ahaha, maybe after this is all over.

We should do something nice to celebrate if everything goes well.

[teenrebellion]

[ ...he grins. ]

We definitely should. Maybe another party, but with everyone this time. It felt a little weird having that without them.

[rewriter]

Yeah! I wish we had gotten to do something fun with everyone before everything started, but... We can make up for it. Later.

[smash cut to us bad ending the game]

[teenrebellion]

Once we see everyone again. And we definitely will.

[ if he keeps telling himself that, it'll come true. ]
