It's boring without you, Ema.

@ai_3_chan I was listening to Sensei's new work lol.
@emaaaaaaa_ Oh yeah lol. The recital lol. Looking forward to it lol. If you she has something to say she should just come out and say it. I'm the one who has to put up with her hand-me-down, after all.

Why?
Eh... why?

I mean, just the other day Ema said...
Wait, what's with Shimizu-san too?

What am I supposed to believe in from now on?

Yuzuki-chan, it's morning~ Don't you have school?

Sorry. Not feeling good. Don't think I can do the band after all.

Yuzuki-chan, today's the culture festival, isn't it?

...Not feeling well.
Do you have a fever?
...
That's no good. You'll make your Dad cry.
Come on. I'll give you a ride.

...Okay.

Huh?

What was that sense of deja vu just now?

Look, we're here.
The stage has already wrapped up,

and I can't exactly face Hinata either,

so I guess I'll just hide out here.

I knew you'd be here.

She knew...?

This is the first time I've ever been to the rooftop.
Not like you to play hooky.
Did something happen? Tell me.

Tell you...? Why should I?
Because I'm worried about you.

Why?
It's not like you're my friend or anything, Hinata.
Huh?

You're going back abroad after the culture festival, right?
Even if we embarrass ourselves as a band, you alone won't have to deal with it because you'll be gone.

Just go wherever you want.
Not like we're close enough to talk about our future careers or anything.

...I'm sorry.

That's it?
You say you're here to save me only to go off abroad?
Pretty half-assed if you ask me.
That's not true.

You ditched that shitty boyfriend all on your own, after all.

You'll be okay now.
If she tells me something like that...

I don't believe that...!

I'm all alone.
My friends betrayed me and my classmates just pity me.
You're the one who said "don't leave me", Hinata,
but that's exactly what you're doing to me.

Have this.

What is it?
A birthday present.
I had some free time while I was sick, so I made a color variant.

Think of it as my substitute.

You think I'm some kid?
Something like this won't make my worries disappear.
I can't stand being ridiculed by everyone.

p10

Just look at me.

Don't listen to the shitty opinions of those around you.
Just believe in the me who believes in you, Yuzuki.
Even if I'm not around, believe in me.

...Okay, first things first.
Eh? You're gonna sing here? But there's no stage or anything...

Warning
