As Kumikos third year progresses, the adults are starting to stir.
She can choose what she wants toshe just has tochoose.
Change can be scary, but it invariably results in new possibilities.
Theres also the upcoming Agata Festival.
But like her dad, her teacher doesnt scold her.
She only warns her not to let indecision breed laziness.
After a delicious dinner, they hang out in Reinas pristine room and chat about the future.
Reina asks Kumiko what would be wrong with her going to music school, but Kumiko still isnt sure.
The soli in particular gives the sense of winter coming, but the pleasant light of autumn remains.
In the studio, Kumiko remarks how good Mayu is, but Reina likes Kumikos playing better.
Its as crystal clear as the river beside them that they have the most fun when theyre together.
However, she believes far more strongly that theyll be all right.
When Reina asks why, Kumiko asks Reina if she thinks they have something special together.
Of course I do, Reina replies, andthatswhy Kumiko knows theyll be all right.
Whatever the future holds for them, theres no reason Kumiko and Reina cant keep holding hands in it.
