Then Pieyon rattles off a string of qualities that clearly demonstrate he knows quite a bit about her.
Kana even smiles and laughs!
The real Pieyon pushes back on Aquas notion that Kana would never accept him as her trainer.
Aqua says hes actually rather feeble in response.
Never would she have pegged Ruby for a former shut-in!
But was he kind to her as Pieyon just to get her motivated to perform?
Were the sentiments he expressed genuine, or more useful lies from a gifted actor?
And Pieyon isnt around for their big JIF day.
Whatiscrystal clear to Kana is that their pre-concert accommodations are complete and utter shit.
Kana tries to get some rest in, and Miyako asks her if shes nervous.
Its not exactly resentment; itsfear.
When she asked for more work and her agency rejected her for being too old, it sucked.
And rookie idols fail all the time.
Rubys words are enough to bring a smile even to Kanas face.
She realizes shes been overthinking things, and follows Ruby to the stage hand-in hand.
Once theyre in their outfits, theres no turning back, but Kana has no intention of doing so.
With Aquas help, shes built up her stamina.
With Rubys help, shes washed away her painful memories and fears.
And even if there is,thats okay.
Han Megumi continues to knock it out of the park with her performance.
I just know shes going to rock on that stage.
