Girl: ! So-so-sorry...! I....I just...
I, was watching TV....and saw Ren singing...and...the song....so great....
After hearing him sing...I really wanted to meet him so....

Ren: ...you liked my song....?

Girl: Yes, YES...! I really like it...!

Ren: .........
For what reason?

Girl: Oh a reason...?

Ren: Yeah, what reason.
You're not just saying you like it right? There must be a reason?

Girl: Be, because....I can't explain the exact reason...but...
When I'm listening...for some reason I feel encouraged...

Ren: Encouraged....?

Girl: Yes...! So....
For a long time now I've been sick....on my really bad days, I can't even come outside like this...
But, the moment I heard your song...I felt like you were saying...it's okay...be strong...
Even if there are hard times, it's okay....good days will come so be strong... Because of that I feel so encouraged.
So...I wanted to say thank you...

Ren: ......

Girl: Th-then, I should get going! Sorry for taking up your time...!

Manager: ...she left.

Ren: It's okay...?

Manager: Huh?

Ren: Even if there are hard times, it's okay....?
Good days will come, so be strong...?

Manager: Uh....

Ren: Yet, she's saying that she likes my song.....
Is she totally ...misunderstanding something?
...I can't understand.

(Today, the song...was filled with a message...)

Ren: ...Manager.

Manager: Yeah...?

Ren: Did I....sing well?
I sang it..but I have no idea. I only know that it was different from before...

Manager: .......
...it's okay. Be strong, Ren.

Ren: ...!

Manager: I hope to continue to hear you sing in the future too.

Ren: ....hmmm.

(I don't know if it's okay for me to say this but...Ren has truly matured into a great singer.)

Arisugawa Michiru: But as you work...there could be times where kindness becomes a hinderance.

Manager: Hinderance...?

Arisugawa Michiru: Yup...you could get the bitter end of the stick. You already know that's going to happen.
There are times when it's better to be tough.
