With You, I Can Sing For Tomorrow ch9-3

It's fine. I'm the one who barged in.

You're still crying. You really are a crybaby.
I-I can't help it!
I'm a musician, so I get moved by even my own performances!

I'm sorry.

I said some mean things the other day.
Even though you were doing things for my sake,
I picked the wrong person to get mad at.

No, I was in the wrong too.

I rush into things,
saying it's for you sake,
when really I'm just leaving you behind.

Then... can we make up?

Sure.

But were we close enough to make up? I've just been acting overly familar, after all...
What are you saying?

You're my best friend, right?
Hinata.

Yuzuki...

So what now? Should we resume the band stuff again?
...I wonder.

You don't want to? It was fun, wasn't it?
...

I've been doing thinking
and I've decided to stop trying to save you.

Eh...?
I mean, I've got the feeling you'll be alright on your own, Yuzuki.
I don't even know if being in a band would bring you happiness to begin with.
Besides, like I said before, I'll be returning to America soon.
There's still time until then...
But not enough of it. It's not good to do things half-assed.
But...

won't you be lonely, Hinata?

Just earlier, you looked sad even though you were singing happy songs.
Ah. I see.

I was simply
lonely.

I pretend to be an adult and act like I'm okay
but that facade falls apart in the face of music.

In that case,

come to America with me.

Wha-...
I'm aware what I said the other day was really selfish.
I'm sorry for that.
This request is even more selfish,
and rather than save you, it might set you on the path to ruin.

...But I want to keep doing music with you, Yuzuki.

Would be able to hang around someone like me?
Neither I nor Kengo can be your prince on a white horse.
But if you don't mind that...

then I'll abduct you.
