Hm?

Soyo

(That person behind me... Is that Rāna-chan?)

Soyo

(I don’t think this is her way home, though...)

Soyo

...

Soyo

(Well, never mind. Maybe she just wants to stop by somewhere.)

Soyo

...

Soyo

(She's still behind me... We've been on the same route all the way here.)

Soyo

...

Soyo

(Maybe she has something to discuss with me?)

Soyo

(Did I do something to Rāna-chan? I don't recall anything during practice today...)

Soyo

(Oh, now that I think about it, during the final rehearsal today...)

Soyo

(Rāna-chan's string broke, and we had to stop practice, didn't we?)

Soyo

(Everyone was so focused at that moment... And Taki-chan was a little angry about it...)

Soyo

(Could she be feeling down about that...?)

Rāna

...

Soyo

(Come to think of it, she does seem a bit down...)

Soyo

(But... if that's the case, then why is she following me?)

Soyo

(Maybe she wants me to comfort her...?)

Soyo

(But it's Rāna-chan, she would never...)

Rāna

...

Soyo

(Well, Rāna-chan is also human. Even she would have moments like that.)

Soyo

...

Soyo

Hey, Rāna-chan.

Rāna

Soyo.

Soyo

Um, today was rough, wasn't it?

Rāna

...?

Soyo

Look, when your string broke... Taki-chan was a bit angry, right?

Rāna

Yes.

Soyo・Rāna

...

Soyo

(Huh...?)

Soyo

Um... Rāna-chan, you were... following me, weren't you? Why?

Rāna

...? I'll eat ramen.

Soyo

Ramen...?

Rāna

With Grandma.

Soyo

...

Rāna

I'm hungry.

Soyo

(So she was just taking a different way home...? And that look on her face was from hunger...?)

Soyo

*Sigh*... I see.

Rāna

Bye-bye.

Soyo

Ah, yeah... See you at practice.

Soyo

...

Soyo

I'm going home...
