Rio: ...This song also has a fast-paced sound that's just like Argonavis
Rio: I've made it to the point where I can say, "there's no other way"...
Rio: But that's it. It doesn't go beyond the songs I've written so far
Rio: (Is this my limit, or is it just a "frame" I've unconsciously created for myself?)
Rio: ...which one is it?
[the screen fades to black and it shifts to Argonavis in the practice studio]
Yuuto: -Alright, this feels good!
Banri: At this rate, it looks like we'll be ready for the Fes
Wataru: That's if it's just the songs we already have. If we're doing new songs, it's going to be tough
Yuuto: A new song huh...a little while ago, there was a temporary song that Rio made
Ren: Yeah. And then Wataru took the ideas we all came up with and put them into lyrics...
Banri: Rio-kun said that he was going to brush up the song even more to match the finished lyrics
Banri: What's it like now, Rio-kun?
Rio: I'm sorry. I've gotten close to finishing it a few times but...
Wataru: It's not a song where you can say "there's no other way" is it?
Rio: Hmm?
Wataru: You remember what you said to me before, right?
[flashback start]
Rio: It's not like that. But...you can't say with confidence that there's no other way to write them, can you?
Wataru: There's no other way...of course I can't say that. Then can you say that after finishing a song, Kikyo?
Rio: I can say it with confidence.
Wataru: W...Well that's just overconfidence!
[flashback end]
Rio: You remembered it well
Wataru: There's no way that I'd be able to forget
Yuuto: ...I see. You can't say "there's no other way," so it's unfinished
Rio: No...it's a little different. It's hard to explain it in one word...
Rio: ......
Rio: ...Nanahoshi's singing ability has always been one of his talents, and now it's been further refined
Ren: Eh?
Rio: Goryo tends to make mistakes when he gets motivated and carried away, but recently he has become more stable
Yuuto: O-Oh...
Rio: Shiroishi is gaining not only more power, but also more stamina, and he's able to keep a strong rhythm until the end
Banri: Wait- what's this all of a sudden...
Rio: Matoba's range of lyrical expression has expanded, and his bass technique has improved
Wataru: ...it's only natural to improve. I've been practicing a lot after all
Rio: But what about me?
Rio: I haven't changed. I'm the only one who hasn't been improving
Yuuto: Really? No, even so, your technique is reliable
Banri: That's right. You're a genius after all
Rio: ...as it is now, it's not enough
Ren: Rio...?
Wataru: ......
Rio: The bands participating in the Fes are highly talented. It will probably be a fierce battle
Rio: So I can't be satisfied with how things are right now either. Besides...
Rio: I don't want to think that this is my limit
