Chapter 3 - For the sake of moving forward

== The day before the FUTURE WORLD FES. ==
== Minato's Residence – Yukina’s Room ==

Yukina : [Tomorrow is the day. Move forward and don't leave any regret.]
Yukina : ...This letter...
Yukina : (This is the picture letter that I wrote to myself at the Momijigari (tn notes : autumn leaves viewing) before this.)
Yukina : Move forward and don't leave any regret.
Yukina : Without forgetting what I am until now, I'll sing this new song.
Yukina : ...
Yukina : Finally...

== Hikawa's Residence – Sayo’s room ==

Sayo : [Steel your resolve and stay calm. Remember all the things that you have experienced and move forward.]
Sayo : ...To think this picture letter that I write to myself would give me this much pressure.
Sayo : (Everything that I have experienced up until now, I will make it into my strength and move forward.)
Sayo : (…Until now, I've experienced a lot of things. I suffer many times, but that's my own [Choice]...)
Sayo : ...
Hina : Knock knock. Onee-chan, excuse me.
Sayo : It's unusual for you to knock. Is there something wrong?
Hina : Tomorrow is the day of the FES, right? I thought that you're probably concentrating for the FES, so I knock!
Sayo : Sigh. You know that I'm concentrating for the FES, yet you still enter my room.
Hina : Don't mind about it! I’m also looking forward to tomorrow, you know? Good luck, Onee-chan!
Sayo : Of course.
Hina : What’s that letter?
Sayo : Ah, T- this is…
Hina : This is your handwriting, right? Did you write it to yourself, onee-chan?
Sayo : ...Yes. Before this, I went to do a Momijigari with Minato-san and Ushigome-san, and at that time, I wrote this picture letter for myself.
Hina : That's interesting. Why did you address it to yourself?
Sayo : It's to steel my resolve I think. Minato-san is the one who suggests this.
Hina : Hmmm… Alright. I understand! I'm can confirm this now!
Hina : The one who cheers yourself the most is you, Onee-chan!
Sayo : I think it's just me being strict to myself.
Hina : Well that's only mean you're the one who always tells yourself to do your best.
Hina : Your own word gives you courage.
Sayo : ...
Hina :  I’m sure that, even right now, you still remember our promise. Onee-chan is the one who said that you will [Keep] our promise and treasure it, right?
Sayo : Well… I'm the only one who can fulfill that promise after all.
Sayo : ...I'm the one who decided to make that promise. So it's my responsibility to fulfill it.
Hina : Yes, your sense of responsibility is your strength, Onee-chan~. That’s why there is nothing you can't do.
Sayo : Nothing I can't do, huh...
Sayo : (Strength that comes from my sense of responsibility… that sounds nice, but the truth is, everything happens because I want to triumph over you Hina.)
Sayo : (Because I make that [choice] I suffered many times. But that suffering.. is my [strength].)
Hina : I like it when people have a different opinion than me, and that’s why I want to do many different things. But you're the opposite!
Hina : That's why there are many things only Onee-chan can do. But we're different and I’ll definitely keep our promise.
Sayo : …I wonder how many times have you saved me already.
Hina : Eh!? What do you mean?
Sayo : (My suffering is my strength… everything become like this because of the choice that I make.)
Sayo : (...That's why, I must never forget this strength. And then, one day...)
Hina : ...Well, whatever. Anyway, do your best tomorrow! I’ll definitely come!
Sayo : …Yes, thank you--
Sayo : --For everything that you have done for me until now, and for what will you do for me in the future...
