Instead, she asks why he chose four tubas.
He basically says because winning gold in the Nationals is the goaleveryones goal.
At the next practice, a complaint from one of the trombonists sets Reina off.
Reina has no time for anyone who questions Taki-senseis decisions, even Kumiko.
It was a big mess, and even Reina isnt about to ignore a request to talk it over.
At this rate, Kumiko isnt sure theyll make it past regionals.
Reina, not incorrectly, says things will only get worse if Taki-sense speaks up about the auditions.
His decisions must stand, without qualification, or it all falls apart.
But its falling apart anyway, and Kumiko doesnt know how to stop it.
When she arrives, Kaori welcomes her in, and she learns Asuka and Kaori are living together.
Asuka is also certain that that kid (i.e.
Reina) and Taki-sensei are just as stuck and frustrated as Kumiko feels.
In Takis case, he made his decision, and now has no choice but to stand by it.
Just as Reina basically said, ifhehesitates, hes screwed and so is the club.
Bottling up her frustrations until they explode in a filterless tantrum in the eleventh hour.
Asuka leaves Kumiko with those observations and heads to the shower.
After sprinting through the night, Kumiko decides how and when things will go down.
Kumiko raises her hand and stands before the club.
They stand by that decision, but Kumiko also bows her head in apology.
Here, Kumiko does that, and Reina raises a fist in satisfaction of this fact.
cheer, and the band marches out to win the goddamn Regionals and move on to the Nationals.
