102_c.png Riko And...done. 1
player_c.png Player Encore, encore! Just one more song!
102_c.png Riko Nope. It's almost time to go home. I've gotta return the key to the music room. 2
player_c.png Player Aww, but the way you play the piano is so beautiful. You've gotta let me record you.
102_c.png Riko Don't, it's too embarrassing! 3
player_c.png Player Party pooper.
player_c.png Player Well, you seem like you're back to your old self, Riko. I could really feel your excitement and joy through your music.
102_c.png Riko Really? I'm glad to hear you say that. 4
player_c.png Player I take it this means composing songs for Aqours is going smoothly as well?
102_c.png Riko I wouldn't necessarily say it's going smoothly. I still have plenty of moments where I stop writing because I don't know what to do. But now... 5
player_c.png Player Yeah?
102_c.png Riko Now I don't get overwhelmed by the thought of making music like I used to. 6
102_c.png Riko It's hard to explain. I still feel the same sense of responsibility for the job I've been given, but now my natural reaction is to think about Aqours instead. 7
102_c.png Riko I've got a new mindset now. I want to put all my energy into composing songs that everyone, including me, can sing with smiles on our faces. 8
player_c.png Player I see. That's so nice to hear! I bet the songs you're gonna write for Aqours from here on out will be better than ever! I can't wait to hear what you come up with next!
102_c.png Riko Oh, I'm sure you'll love them! I promise I'll let you know when my next song is ready. After all, I have you to thank for helping me look at things more positively. 9
player_c.png Player Me? I didn't do anything.
102_c.png Riko Sure you did. Deep in my heart, I'd put up a wall between myself and everyone else. I thought I didn't fit in, but you showed me that it was all in my head. 10
102_c.png Riko You made me realize that having different pasts doesn't affect the strength of our feelings. 11
102_c.png Riko That's why I genuinely enjoy playing the piano now, and it's all thanks to you and the song I played then. 12
player_c.png Player Oh, Riko. I'm touched to see how much that meant to you, but now I'm kinda embarrassed. If I'd known this would happen, I would've said something way cooler.
102_c.png Riko *Giggle* Don't worry, you were plenty cool, in my opinion! I've never been so moved before in my life. 13
You're getting a kick out of this, aren't you?
player_c.png Player Riko, you're getting a kick out of this, aren't you?
102_c.png Riko *Laugh* Was I that obvious? It was a new experience to see you get embarrassed, so I couldn't help myself. Sorry! 14
I feel like I'm being teased.
player_c.png Player I kinda feel like I'm being teased here.
102_c.png Riko You're imagining things. Well, maybe a little. I couldn't resist the urge to have a little fun by making you blush! 15
player_c.png Player You're so mean, Riko! I'm wounded!
102_c.png Riko I said I was sorry. 16
player_c.png Player It's okay. Your music is the perfect treatment to mend the wounds of my heart.
102_c.png Riko Music? I told you, we have to leave. I can't play anymore tonight. 17
player_c.png Player No biggie! I recorded the impromptu song you played before, so I'll just listen to that.
102_c.png Riko Before? Y-You're not talking about THAT song, are you? You recorded it?! 18
