Chapter 2 - Marina memories

== The next day ==
== CiRCLE - Lobby ==

Maya : I can't believe it... Marina-san is the one who created that song...that's really surprising...
Marina : I- I'm surprised too... To think Maya-chan have that CD...
Maya : Fuhehe, I'm glad I go to that free market! I could find a CD player that I want, and also I could find a song that Marina-san make.
Tsugumi : But, Yukina-senpai. How did you know that Marina-san is the one who created that song?
Yukina : Yesterday, When I get here for practice, I heard Marina-san humming that song.
Marina : Well yesterday, I'm in a good mood because new equipment has just come in, so I hum that song without I noticed it...
Kasumi : I always want to hear the song that Marina-san makes. I'm glad that I could hear that song!!
Rimi : Me too! It's a beautiful song just as I expected...No, It's more than I expected. I'm really moved by it!
Marina : I'm happy you say that, but it's embarrassing...
Tsugumi : Embarrassing?
Marina : I mean, It's a song that I created a long time ago, so I never imagined that you could find it.
Yukina : But, You like that song, right? If not, You won't hum that song happily like that.
Marina : Y- yes. That's true... That song contains so many memories.
Maya : U, umm... I know this is rude... But can you tell us more about this [Memories]?
Maya : What kind of memories did you have while making that song? I want to know! It's definitely a wonderful memory, right~.
Kasumi : I want to know too! I heard, in the past, you did some Live performance for CiRCLE's event!
Rimi : Yes, me too. I want to hear more about Marina-san's band.
Marina : Hmmm~~...
Yukina : Well If you don't want to tell us, then you don't need too. I understand your feeling if you want to keep your important memories to yourself
Marina : Fufu, Thank you, Yukina-chan. But---.
Marina : But I want everyone to hear it, my story.
Marina : But, If I were to tell you here, it will bother the other customer... Studio A is empty right now, so how about we go there first? I'll tell you the story there.

== Studio ==

Marina : Ummm... Where should I start...
Marina : You all already know that a long time ago, just like you all, I'm in a girls band too, right? We aim to become a pro at that time...
Maya : Yes. We already know that.
Marina : This song is created at the time we decided to disband the band.
Tsugumi : Eh...? Disbanding...!?
Marina : Yep. This is the last song that we created before we disband the band.
Marina : After that, we put the song on a CD and make a copy of it. Then we distribute that CD to our friends and to everyone who has supported us.
Marina : Many things happen after that and somehow that CD ended up in Maya-chan hand. Fufu, what a weird coincidence~.
Maya : I see... So this CD is that precious huh...
Marina : In the end, we never perform that song on our Live... But that song is... something that holds a precious memory for our band.
Yukina : So that's the reason I could sense some sadness in that song.
Marina : Well, disbanding the band is something that's sad to us, so it's only natural...right.
Kasumi : Ma- marina-san, I'm sorry! I don't know that it's a sad memory for you...
Marina : Nope, you're wrong! Don't misunderstand! We had fun when we created that song. Even though we decided to disband the band, we still had some fun when we created it.
Marina : If not, then I won't hum it happily like that.
Tsugumi : Eh? Even though you decided to disband the band, you still have fun...? Why is that?
Marina : Hmm~, What should I say... I probably have told Kasumi-chan about this, but before we decided to disband the band, I don't feel any fun when I perform with everyone on the stage.
Marina : We don't even talk to each other in the backstage, it feels like there's some kind of wall between us...
Marina : But, after we decided to stop doing band, it feels like a weight has been lifted off our shoulder.
Marina : We don't need to aim to become a pro again, when I think about that, I feel relieved.
Kasumi : You're feeling relieved...?
Marina : Yep. Probably, it's because my heart is already tired.
Maya : I- i see... I can imagine that...
Maya : Well, Running full speed chasing for something is really tiring after all...
Marina : But! When we created that song together, it's probably the first time we had some fun together. We just enjoy it to the fullest without any burden.
Marina : Even though our relationship is awkward before that, at that time we have fun and laughing together. It was really fun.
Yukina : So that's the reason for that cymbal and the change in tone after that... It's because you wish for a new world to be opened for everyone, right.
Marina : Yep, That's right. As expected of Yukina-chan, you noticed that~. I want everyone to take a step into a new world while still keeping that song in their heart!
All : ...
Marina : I- I'm sorry~. Don't be sad like that.
Maya : W- we just heard an amazing story... Marina-san, Thank you...!
Marina : No, I'm the one who should say thank you! Thank you for making me remember the feeling that I had when making that song.
Maya : Umm, I've been curious about this... But, what is the title of that song...
Marina : You see, The title is---
Marina : [Hope]
