Yuuto: -- And that's what we've decided. We're going to help you out too!
Rio: I see...Sorry to bother you with this
Yuuto: We're all friends, and if we're in trouble, we rely on each other! Don't worry about it!
Wataru: For the time being, can you let us hear what the song sounds like at this point?
Wataru: I understand that you don't want us to listen to an unfinished song, but it's not your problem alone
Rio: ...Alright
[the melody of the song plays]
Rio: ......it's like this
Yuuto: Isn't this good already...?
Ren: Yeah...I think it's a good song!
Banri: I have no idea what's wrong with it...
Wataru: Kikyo isn't convinced though, right?
Rio: Yeah
Rio: Even if we performed it for the first time at the Fes, it wouldn't make much of an impact. It's just like all of Argonavis' previous songs
Rio: Listeners have high expectations for new songs. But, this song doesn't have enough appeal to live up to their expectations
Wataru: I'll tell you something.
Wataru: I don't think you're the one who decides whether the song's appealing or not
Rio: Yes, but...
Wataru: Don't you think it would be more disappointing to the audience if there were no surprises at all during the Fes?
Rio: ...Still, this song's no good
Wataru: ......
Rio: I do feel bad for bothering you guys, and maybe this is selfish of me.
Rio: But, I feel like once I compromise, I won't be able to write Argonavis' songs anymore
Rio: I think I'm going to have to step down from being the composer
Yuuto: Hey hey hey, don't even think about it!
Rio: ...Now I can understand Goryo's feelings when he wanted to leave Argonavis before
Wataru: What's with that...are you trying to say that if you can't write a single song, you'll just leave Argonavis?
Rio: Even if I stay with Argonavis, it would be better to find someone else who can compose the songs
Wataru: ......
Rio: No...my bad. I shouldn't say those kinds of things easily
Rio: Just...
Rio: Even if I keep going like this, it won't be a perfect song, suitable for the current Argonavis. It's getting further and further away
Wataru: If that's the case, then it's fine to just remake it over and over again isn't it?
Rio: With so little time before we perform at the Fes?
Wataru: Are you saying that you're just going to give up?
Wataru: Are you upset because you don't know what to do? That's normal. I just don't understand you.
Wataru: You're reaching your hand out in desperation, and it's confusing, it's painful.
Wataru: So struggle more, even if it makes you look unseemly. There's some things you just can't reach unless you go that far
Wataru: Even you should understand what I mean by that, right?
Rio: ......
Yuuto: *he claps* Alright, that's it! Let's round up today's practice
Yuuto: It's hard for Rio to concentrate if the song isn't ready yet
Yuuto: We'll have another day to figure out if we want to prepare a new song for the Fes. Wataru, you're fine with that right?
Wataru: ...I got it.
