Ren: When you guys were playing with the kids at the park, there was a boy playing by himself
Rio: Ah...now that you mention it, I remember seeing him in the corner
Ren: Yeah. I found out that the boy seems to be moving around a lot because of his parents' work
Ren: He says that he doesn't make friends because he's going to leave them soon and that it's better that way
Ren: I...it kind of reminded me of myself in the past
Yuuto: ...you used to sing alone in the past too
Ren: I wanted to say something to him, but...I couldn't find the words to say right then and there
Ren: But...I thought of reaching out to him with a song if possible. I want to cheer that boy up
Ren: That's why I...want to sing a song for that boy at the upcoming outdoor live. I know it's selfish of me, but I want everyone to help too
Yuuto: I see...that's just like you. But we don't have a lot of time before the live, so we can't just start writing new songs, you know?
Ren: Yes...that's true...
Banri: Well, we happen to have a new song with arrangements and lyrics that are still unfinished
Ren: ...eh?
Yuuto: Hmhm...for example, is it hard to arrange that into a song style that a child might like, Rio?
Rio: Not really. If you can find a tokusatsu or anime theme song to refer to it'd be helpful
Ren: ...I understand! We've talked a lot about our favorite theme songs!
Yuuto: Alright! Now we just need the lyrics! Wataru, if you were to incorporate the image of Ren into the lyrics now-
Wataru: Hold on a minute, Yuu! Everyone, wait!
Wataru: ...Well, I know how you feel, Ren. I'd like to do something for that boy too
Wataru: But you know, we can't change his home environment, right?
Wataru: It might cheer him up in the moment, but it may also end up making him feel more lonely in the future
Wataru: Are you okay with that? Isn't that just a temporary solution? Isn't it just...your own self satisfaction?
Ren: That is...
Banri: Wataru-kun, you don't have to say it like that
Wataru: I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I just...don't think it's right to put too much effort into it
Ren: ...It's okay, I don't mind. Besides, I understand what Wataru is saying
Ren: I'll think about it...for a bit
~ Location: Park ~
Banri: The park is kind of quiet today. It looks like the kids from the other day haven't come either
Ren: (...I wonder if that boy is coming too)
Rio: Nanahoshi, isn't the boy you talked about last time over there?
Ren: Ah, it's true...he's right there
Boy: Ah, it's Star Five onii-chan!
Ren: Hello. You're here
Boy: Dad, this is the onii-chan I talked to! We talked a lot about Star Five at the park the other day!
Father: Aah, so it's you. My son told me about you. I'm sorry, it seems like you had to play along
Yuuto: No no, it's our pleasure! Ren was happy that he was able to have so many interesting conversations!
Ren: S-Stop it, Yuuto...um, are you playing with your dad today?
Father: Yes, I happen to have the day off from work
Boy: That's right! Tomorrow too! Hey, let's come to the park tomorrow too!
Father: Sorry, dad has to go to the government office for a while tomorrow
Boy: Government office...?
Father: It was suddenly decided yesterday but...we'll move again next month. I'm going to cause you a lot of trouble again
Boy: Eh...
Ren: Eh...?
