Young An
...!
???
—So you were here after all.
Young An
...Eh?
Young An
N...Nagi-san...!?
Young An
W...Why are you here?
Nagi
Because I was worried about you, of course.
Young An
But...But, how did you know I was here? I didn't tell anybody...!
Nagi
I just gave it some thought. I knew you wouldn't wanna rely on anybody, and if it started raining you'd wanna go somewhere nobody could find you.
Nagi
And you said so before, didn't you? "I wanna try exploring", you said.
Nagi
Fufu, don't you know that Nagi-san remembers everything if it's about you, An?
Young An
...Nagi-saaan!!
Nagi
You're okay now, An.
Young An
*sob*...*sob*...It was so scary, Nagi-san...!!
— Some time later —
Young An
Ahhh...
Nagi
Fufu, I'm glad you've calmed down.
Nagi
Looks like the rain stopped...so let's head home together. Ken and the others are worried about you.
Young An
...!
Young An
—Don't wanna! I'm never going home!
Young An
Dad said he would watch me practice, but he never came...!
Young An
And everyone in town, they always take you guys away from me...!
Nagi
An...
Young An
That's why...that's why...I hate Dad and everyone in town! I'm never going home!
Nagi
... An, you're right to be mad.
Nagi
...Let me apologize first. That I couldn't come today...and that I couldn't let Ken come either. I'm really sorry.
Nagi
...You know, Ken really wanted to go see you, An.
Young An
...
Nagi
It's just that...a live house that has taken good care of us was in a lot of trouble, and the three of us had to go help.
Nagi
Ken, right up until the moment we got on stage, was asking if the message got to you...and was worried about you crying.
Nagi
The moment he heard that you ran off, his face went pale, and he ran out immediately.
Nagi
Ken really, really does care about you, An, and he loves you so much. I hope you can at least understand that.
