[For a brief moment, it's like nothing has changed since they met. Natsuru fondly remembers the older Naoto encouraging her as a child to pursue her dreams, with neither of them aware at the time that Natsuru had already begun on that path. Things have changed, and it turns out they're much closer in age than they'd thought. But so far, Naoto doesn't seem that different as a supportive friend than she did as a cool older sister figure.]

Thank you, Naoto-chan...

[She nods in agreement, beginning to lead the way out the door and down the street. She's silent for a moment, but finally adds:]

I, um... I hope you'll come see me perform next time! I don't know when it'll be yet, but if you want... I'll let you know.
