WEEKEND GARAGE
An's Father
...And that's everything that led to RAD WEEKEND, and RADder's disbandment.

Nagi
I want you to talk to her properly...and tell her "I believe in you".
End flashback
An
Nagi...san...
An
...You could've told me yourself...
An
Now, I...can't even...
An
I can't even say thank you...
Kohane
An-chan...
An
...*sob*, *sob*...!
An
I still had so much...I wanted to say...
An
I wanted you to meet Kohane...and Akito...and Toya...! And I wanted you to tell me...that I found good teammates...!
An
And when I finally surpassed RAD WEEKEND...! I wanted you to be there to see it...!
An
But...!
An
You're not even here anymore...!
An
That's...too cruel...!!
An
...*sob*, *wail*...!!
An
Nagi-san....! Nagi-san...!
An
You said, you'd stand on stage...with me....!!
An
Nagi-san...!!
An's Father
...Nagi was thinking about you up until the very end.
An's Father
She believed in you. ——That you would walk in the light beyond our dream.
An's Father
An.
An's Father
I believe in all of you, too, just like Nagi.
An's Father
When I saw your third event the other day, I was certain.
An's Father
You've become a person capable of putting on an event like that. You've made teammates that you can rely on.
An's Father
You're more than strong enough.
An's Father
...Of course, there will be obstacles in your path.
An's Father
Like me, you'll worry about your capacity to grow, and think you've hit the limit of what you're capable of...countless times.
An
Ah...
An's Father
Even still, you...
An's Father
——You can go beyond this. Beyond the dream that Nagi couldn't see through to its end.
An's Father
With the teammates that you have at your side——right now.
An
...
An's Father
Beyond...your and Nagi-san's dream...
An's Father
Yeah.
An
I...

Nagi
Oooi! An——!
End flashback
An
...I've decided.
An
I——won't hesitate anymore.
An
Nagi-san believed in me.
An
She believed that I...that we would be able to move forward, beyond her dream!
An
In that case, I will surpass it!
An
I'll definitely surpass RAD WEEKEND——and I'll prove that I can go beyond that dream you shared!!
Toya
——Yes. Let's do just that, Shiraishi.
An
Toya...
Toya
Today, when we battled against Taiga-san...it reminded me of when I listened to my father's performances.
Toya
...He was just so far ahead. It reminded me of when I was crushed...by the reality of the gap between us.
Toya
In the past, I ran away from that.
Toya
But now——it's different.
Toya
I want to surpass that wall.
Toya
I want to surpass RAD WEEKEND——and witness that unknown scenery with my own eyes.
Toya
...Isn't that right, Akito?
Akito
...Yeah. I didn't think you'd say it before I did.
Akito
Honestly...I wasn't sure what to do for a while there.
Akito
When Okazaki-san said "I can't imagine surpassing this", I'll admit that, somewhere deep down, I thought the same thing.
Akito
That moving forward, no matter how much strength I gained...
Akito
One person literally put her life on the line to create an event to mark the end of her life, alongside her teammates and the town——I didn't know if it was possible to surpass something like that.
Akito
But...there's no use in wondering about that.
Akito
I decided from the start that I would surpass it.
Akito
I refuse——to turn back now.
An
...!
Kohane
...I...
Kohane
...I wish I could've met Nagi-san.
An
...Kohane...
Kohane
I wanted to meet her...so I could tell her.
Kohane
That, because An-chan found me and believed in me, I'm able to sing the way I do now.
Kohane
I can't...tell her that anymore...
Kohane
But——I can respond to the feelings that Nagi-san left for us.
Kohane
Let's do it, An-chan. ...Together!
An
...Thank you, everyone.
An
Let's do it together. This is where it all really starts.
An
We'll gain more strength, and we'll find Arata, Kotaro, and EVER again...!
An
Let's surpass——RAD WEEKEND!
Akito, Kohane & Toya
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yes!
Yeah!
Yes!

Rin
*wail*...!
MEIKO
There, there, RIn. If you cry any more, your eyes will get puffy.
Rin
But...but...!
Len
...Kh. *sob*...
KAITO
...But, I understand how Rin and Len feel. Just listening to them talk about it made my heart ache.
Luka
...Same. Considering each and every one of these feelings...it's enough to make you tear up.
Miku
But, An...everyone is back up on their feet. So they can respond to Nagi-san's feelings.
Miku
In that case——we have to support them with our full power, too.
Miku
Rin, thank you for calling us. We'll have to apologize to An later for listening in without asking.
Miku
You two really ought to stop crying now. ...An and the others have raised their chins and resolved to keep moving forward.
Miku
Let's keep pushing them, from behind!
Rin
——Yeah!!
An
——In that case, we'll have to start by thinking about what we're gonna do moving forward.
Toya
Yes. Let's see, first of all——
An's Father
(...Nagi. Are you watching?)
An's Father
(Without a doubt, the next generation that you believed in...they're growing here.)
An's Father
(——I've gotta get serious too.)
An's Father
(What I can do for them right now is——)
