Rāna

Cool.

Rāna

I'll play guitar.

Ah, Rāna-chan. Welcome. Here to play guitar again today?

Rāna

Yeah.

Everything's all set up, so you can start playing right away. I'll be in the back, so just call me if you need anything.

Rāna

Okay.

Rāna

Hehe.

Oh~ that's so cool! You finally got your own guitar.

Rāna

Yes. I got it from my grandma.

Wow, I can tell that guitar's got some years on it. Rāna-chan, maybe you'll play in a band here someday?

Rāna

Band...

Thank you~!

Rāna

I'll play in a band.

Is that so?

Rāna

...

Rāna! What about school?

Rāna

Don't care.

No, you can't do that. Go on, even if you're late.

Rāna

Not going.

Did something happen at school? You haven't been going at all lately.

Rāna

School doesn't matter. I'm going to play in a band here.

Playing guitar isn't everything. You need to meet all kinds of people and see all kinds of places too.

Rāna

I'm going to play guitar here forever.

Don't go throwing around words like "forever" so lightly.

Sure, maybe you're pretty good at guitar. But there's so much more you can put into it. Without any of that, your guitar won't reach anyone.

Rāna

It's okay if no one hears it.

Don't you want to be in a band? Then what's the point if you don't even want your bandmates to hear your guitar?

Rāna

Neither my guitar nor my feelings reach anyone. Only grandma.

...

Hey, I heard from your grandma. Since SPACE closed, you haven't been playing guitar.

You can't be in a band like that.

Rāna

...

Rāna-chan, do you hate guitar?

Rāna

It's boring.

Because you've seen more amazing bands than anyone else, Rāna-chan.

But you're not gonna find a band if you don't put yourself out there. You gotta show people what makes your guitar yours.

You know Owner's catchphrase, right? "Did you give it your all?"

When you're that absorbed in something you love, enough to pull everyone around you in, that feeling is bound to get through.

And I think your guitar has that power, Rāna-chan.

We do open mics here. Come by whenever you want, and play however you want.

Why not let girls looking for bandmates hear what your guitar sounds like?

Rāna

...

That place isn't where you belong.

It's just a stop along the way.

A place to belong is something you build with other people. You need to go find those people yourself.

Rāna

...

Rāna

Satisfied.

Hehe, your guitar really is great, Rāna-chan. Wait, huh?

Tomori

Um...

Taki

Stray cat, why are you playing guitar here? Everyone's already gathered in the studio.

Rāna

I'm going now.

Taki

That's not the point... Oh, never mind! Sorry, Ririko-san. I'll take this stray cat with me.

Ahaha, have fun.

Taki

Why does this happen every single time...

Rāna

Riri-chan...

...? What's wrong?

Rāna

I found my place.
