...The next one is our last song!

~~
Please listen closely to the lyrics for this final song! Here it is—"Refrain."
The quiet sound of a guitar begins to echo through the venue. Soon, Rio's keyboard joins in, and Guest begins to sing.
"Since when was it? Before I knew it, you were there In the corner of every ordinary scene
...
This feeling that has no name I still cannot find the words to call it If only you are smiling I thought that would be enough"
As the song progresses, the venue is quietly drawn into the sound of the three.
And the moment the final note faded— Thunderous applause filled the venue.
Surrounded by cheers, Guest and the others headed toward the dressing room.
Entering the dressing room first, Riku turns around to face the other two.
