Chapter 7 - A world wider than the rooftop

== Haneoka Girls School - School Gate ==

Himari : Today Practice... Let's not do it.
Tsugumi : Yes... You're right.
Himari : .....
Tsugumi : ...Himari-chan, Are you okay?
Himari : I'm might not be okay...ehehehe. I... noticed it after hearing what Ran said.
Himari : Everyone in the Afterglow has experienced many things. I thought we have grown up.
Himari : But, it's not like that. Ran is the one that moving forward... We haven't changed a thing. We always stood in the same place.Himari : ......Sob.
Tomoe : Himari.....
Tomoe : I'm the same. I thought I know all about Ran, but it's not like that at all.
Tomoe : Without I noticed it. The 'me' that I see and the 'Ran' that I see, have their time stopped.
Tomoe : To do band with us, Ran is changing. So that everything won't change, She is changing. ...But, what about me?
Tsugumi : Eh....?
Tomoe : What have I done for the sake of our band.
Tsugumi : Supporting Ran-chan, by pushing her back... But.....
Tomoe : Everyone pushing Ran's back. But, the one that actually experiences all the suffering is only Ran. We only push her to change... We only look at her.
Tomoe : It's not only about Ran, but we also can't even see ourselves now.
Tomoe : It's natural that I don't understand Ran lyrics.
Himari : I...Must Apologize to Ran one more time...
Tomoe : If it's only apologizing to Ran then we can do that immediately. But, I think the problem we have now is bigger than that.
Tomoe : To understand the meaning of Ran lyrics, we... definitely need to change too.
Himari ; How?
Tomoe : I don't know...But we must search for it from there.
Tsugumi : B-but! This for the sake of everyone to be together. We must work hard.
Himari : I will work hard too. Even though, right now I don't know what should I work hard for.....
Himari : I must work hard, and catch up to Ran. Afterglow will always be together right.

Ran : .....
Ran : (What did I do.)
Ran : (Changed? Still running away while crying. I haven't changed at all.)
Ran : ......Just like an idiot.
Moca : Ah...
Moca : Ran...?
Ran : Moca...
Moca : ...
Moca : I'm sorry.
Ran : Eh...?
Moca : I'm sorry...
Ran : Still running away while crying. I haven't changed at all, right.
Ran : I want to change so that I can be with everyone. But, my root hasn't changed at all.
Moca : No, Ran has changed. You're already going to the place that we don't know.
Ran : Eh...?
Moca : Ran probably hasn't noticed it yet. But, you're now thinking of many things. Just by that, The world that you see have become wider than any of us...
Moca : The thing that Ran see know.., We haven't seen it yet.
Moca : Ah...! No, It's not Ran's fault. It's just that we are the one that hasn't moved from our place at the rooftop.
Moca : ...Ran, It's not a fault.
Ran : ...
Ran : I don't even know where I'm now. I don't know what everyone is seeing right now.
Ran : If it's like this, as I thought, would it be the best if I don't change?
Moca : It's, not like that...It's not like that!
Ran : But, Right now I can't understand everyone anymore! Sob...Sob...
Moca : Ah...S-sorry, It's just that.....
Ran : Sob...Sob...
Moca : ...I'm sorry.
