Tomoe
Let's see... What do we have here...?
Ran
Hm? Oh, Tomoe. What are you doing up here? Reading?
Tomoe
Hm~...
Ran
Tomoe!
Tomoe
Whoa! O-oh, it's just you, Ran... You can at least warn me before you start yelling...
Ran
I already tried getting your attention though... So you are reading. Now that's a sight to see. Not only that, that thing's gigantic.
Tomoe
Oh, you mean this? I borrowed it from the library.
Ran
"Notable Quotes from Shakespeare"...? Wait, you're gonna start acting like that too?
Tomoe
What?! N-no, not at all! I just thought I could learn something from it.
Ran
Learn what? Was there something Shakespeare related in class that I don't remember?
Tomoe
I'm not talking about school. I'm talking about vocabulary. You remember that whole thing with Ako? When she was talking about sharing her idea of cool?
Tomoe
... I am her sister, so I thought maybe I should try to use some words that she would think is cool.
Ran
Makes sense, you don't have the best vocabulary.
Tomoe
You don't have to be so blunt about it~... Even if it is true.
Ran
Once you get excited, everything boils down to being intense, awesome, or crazy.
Tomoe
I can't deny that...
Ran
Okay, but why Shakespeare?
Tomoe
Well, he's famous. And it might be partially because of Seta-senpai, but it's the first book that caught my eye...
Ran
I see... So, is it working?
Tomoe
Uhhh... Hmmm... I get the vibe he's going for, but I don't actually understand what he's saying, you know?
Ran
Ahaha, I knew it. That just doesn't seem like your kind of book.
Tomoe
You thought that too? Yeah... Okay, enough of that! I'm gonna go return it. Be right back.
Ran
If you try too hard to show off, you won't be able to keep it up for long anyway. I think Ako will still see you as cool if you just be yourself.
Tomoe
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Tomoe
And it's how you express yourself that's important, not which words you choose!
Tomoe
If your fire's intense enough, what you're saying will hit, "wham," like a ton of bricks.
Ran
There you go. An intense wham, that's right.
Tomoe
Oh, be quiet... I'm tellin' you, that's good enough!

Tomoe
BanG Dreamer-san. Another day of hard work, huh?
Tomoe
What's that? Ako forgot something? Ah, thanks! I'll hold on to it.
Tomoe
She can be a little careless at times. Especially when there's something on her mind. Everything else just slips away.
Tomoe
Still, if you look at it a different way, that just means she knows how to concentrate.
Tomoe
And she's been working hard on something recently.
Tomoe
From what I understand, she's been putting together this idea for a show that she wants to be able to share with everyone.
Tomoe
It's supposed to be a Roselia performance shrouded in the power of darkness where they raise the dead, and a dragon comes out at the end and breathes fire or something like that at the crowd.
Tomoe
Could you imagine a performance like that? I feel bad saying this as her sister, but... I couldn't imagine it. I could tell it was something big though.
Tomoe
It's too bad. She was so serious when she was sharing the idea, and she seems to have a clear image of what she wants to do.
Tomoe
Yep, even I could tell that she had her heart set on something specific.
Tomoe
I bet she'll be able to get others to understand what she's thinking one day. I mean, this is Ako we're talking about.
Tomoe
Think about her drumming skills. Before I knew it, she was an amazing drummer.
Tomoe
That's just how Ako is. Once she decides she's gonna do something, she carries through, no matter how many times she fails.
Tomoe
So I know she'll learn to explain herself well...
Tomoe
Maybe one day she will be able to put on a show where they raise the dead and a dragon breathes that crazy stuff she was talking about.
Tomoe
Ahaha, I'm only half joking! I really think she can!
Tomoe
And I wanna see it from the front row~. You can sit there right next to me, dude!
Tomoe
Ahaha, cool! No going back on your word, okay?!
