(Talk to Maki - Wednesday, 6AM)
Maki: Since we finally have a day without rehearsal, let's watch something that'll lighten the mood!
Moe: It's fine, really! Don't worry about me. As long as everyone's here, it shouldn't be that scary... probably... Yeah, let's go with this one!
Nana: I never said I was picking a horror movie. I just got totally absorbed looking at the cover. Let me see... something we can all watch together...

Moe: S—So you like it too, Manager! The little Bangboo in it was absolutely adorable!

404 Livehouse

(Idle - 12PM)
Maki: I really wish you could be here...
(Talk to Maki)
Maki: Miss Cecilia, if you have some free time soon, would you come watch The Forecasters perform? It wouldn't take long, and even coming just once would mean a lot to us.
Moe: I—If you come, I'll definitely give it everything and write a new song... s—so please, do come!
Nana: If you don't come, Miss Cecilia, Moe might actually burst into tears~
Cecilia: Why would you assume I've never seen you perform? As the owner of 404, I keep tabs on every group that takes the stage, and I've stopped to watch you, The Forecasters, more than a few times.
Cecilia: Trust in your own light. It shines no less brightly than the stars in the polar night.
Cecilia: Besides... I wonder if you remember, Miss Maki, back when you were still part of that wildly popular idol group Venus, we actually crossed paths once.
Nana: ...
Maki: Of course I remember! I just didn't expect you'd also... Sorry, that was rude of me...
Cecilia: It's fine. I stepped away from the spotlight a long time ago. And Venus... I'd already heard about your breakup. I never thought we'd meet again here at 404, let alone that, when we did, we'd both be living new lives.
Cecilia: And unlike me, you're still up on stage, leading The Forecasters. It takes real courage to start over. Give yourself more credit for that.
Maki: So you've been following us all this time... thank you! Next time you come to see us, Miss Cecilia, please tell us beforehand, and if you could share your thoughts and suggestions after the show, that would be amazing!
Maki: This time I'm making my dream happen no matter what, even if it's only for...
(Idle - 12PM)
Maki: Finally, rehearsal's over...
(Talk to Maki)
Maki: Nana, I've been wondering... why did you agree to team up with me again? I was the one who walked away first...
Nana: I told you, I don't know either. I saw that long message you sent, my brain just went into overdrive, and before I could even think, I'd already replied with "okay"... The second I hit send, even I was like, wait... what?
Nana: Look, once it's sent, it's sent. I can't exactly take it back, right? What if you'd already seen it... and you definitely saw it, so backing out would've been way too awkward, so I just went with it. Anyway, it all happened in complete chaos.
Maki: So that's how it was... I spent forever drafting that message — typing, deleting, then typing it all over again — but even when I finally hit send, I never actually expected you to say yes.
Maki: No matter how it happened, thank you, Nana.
Maki: Thank you for taking me in when I had nowhere else to go, and for trusting me even after I walked away from you and everyone else.
Nana: (*muttering*) Hmph... just don't go running off on your own again.
Maki: Huh? Nana, did you say something just now?
Nana: Whatever, forget it if you didn't hear... And hey, who said I trust you? I hold grudges, you know. What you did to me? I'll never forget that for as long as I live.
Nana: Now that I think about it, sending such a formal invitation to an old friend you parted ways with and doing it through Knock Knock? Oh my, someone's acting like a middle schooler too shy to confess face-to-face~
Maki: I—I had no idea where to even find you. We hadn't talked in forever...
Maki: You've got nerve laughing at me! I remember it perfectly — you replied instantly, didn't you?

(Idle - 12PM)
Maki: You need to rest...
Nana: My health is none of your business...
(Talk to Maki)
Maki: Nana, we don't have that many shows coming up, so you don't need to push yourself this hard in practice. Moe and I are both really worried about you...
Nana: Since you know we're getting fewer shows, how can you act like that's nothing? Doesn't that mean our popularity is starting to drop?
Nana: If the leader's slacking like this, guess it's up to me to step up, right? If we just let things go like this, who can guarantee The Forecasters won't break up again like last time?
Nana: But if we really did disband, it might actually be a good thing for you, Maki. I mean, after you got scooped up by that major agency, you crushed it at Venus...
Maki: No, Nana... I never saw it that way. But if it's been eating at you this whole time, why didn't you just tell me?
Maki: Look, I'm not gonna beg for your forgiveness at this point, but I can promise you this — I'm not walking away again. Not this time!
Nana: Hmph. That's exactly what you said back then, too...
Maki: Huh? Did I? I don't really remember. Hey, don't get mad! Sure, it was just a verbal promise, but I'm gonna prove it with my actions from now on!
Maki: You must be tired, Nana. Why don't you rest for a bit first? I'll practice with you later, sounds good?
Nana: Idiot, you're the one who should be resting. You're already so good you barely need to practice. I'm the one who needs the practice... And you've been secretly putting together a show lately, haven't you?
Maki: Nothing gets past you, huh... But as team leader, it's my duty to look after everyone's condition. If you're set on practicing, I'll be right there with you.
Nana: You win... Let's just head back for today.
Maki: Yeah~ Let's grab Moe and go get some noodles!
(Idle - 12PM)
Maki: Just follow your heart...
(Talk to Moe)
Moe: Yesterday, someone from another agency came to talk to me...
Maki: I didn't think this day would come so fast. Moe, you really are something! It's okay, just follow your heart. Even if you join another agency, we'll always be best friends.
Moe: No, no, I just wanted to...
Maki: It might actually be a better choice for you, Moe. Back then, even though my group Venus ended up disbanding, I never regretted joining them.
Maki: With the level Nana and I were at back then, even if we kept pushing, we wouldn't have stood a chance.
Moe: What does "a better choice" even mean, anyway...
Maki: Moe, we'll be fine. This time, together with Nana, I'm gonna make our dream come true with The Forecasters, no matter what.
Maki: Look, I know how things seem right now, but I've worked at a big agency before. I'm confident we can all make a fresh start, and you...
Moe: I... I actually don't want to leave The Forecasters at all. I just didn't know how to turn them down, so Maki, please stop trying to convince me, okay?! Phew... finally got that off my chest...
Moe: B-because it felt like you'd already decided I was going to leave, I got a little upset... I kind of lost my cool. Sorry...
Moe: I want to stay with The Forecasters forever, by everyone's side... Did I get those feelings across to you, Maki?
Maki: I get it now... I'm the one who should be apologizing. I didn't pick up on how you were feeling, Moe, and I just assumed you saw things the same way I do. That's on me.
Maki: Of course, you're way cuter than I was back then, Moe! Leave the rest to your captain — I'll turn down all those invites for you! No way I'm handing you over to them!
