No use trying to hide it from me~. Sis has been acting weird lately, and I'm sure the two are related~.

I know, right?! That's why I tried asking her what the deal is~. "Sis, why are you being all kaboom everywhere lately?"

Lisa
You really asked her that, huh? What was her answer?

Hina
Of course I am! She's my sis, after all!

Lisa
How about that? You've got me pegged, too...
**Lisa**: How about that? You've got me pegged, too...

Lisa
No, you're right. I've been thinking about how to handle the upcoming concert with Afterglow in my own way...

Hina
Is that something your face should be so squished about?

The entire fiasco could have been avoided with a proper explanation, but I kinda didn't wanna give one...

Hina
Why not? If you had, it would've been resolved lickety-split. Wouldn't that be better?
**Hina**: Why not? If you had, it would've been resolved lickety-split. Wouldn't that be better?

Lisa
Well, I just feel like there are things of value you can learn when you realize those things yourself.

Lisa
I guess you could say that always explaining everything right away isn't the right type of kindness...

Lisa
And that's why it's sealed up in the vault!

Hina
So, you're not going to be the wise mediator you always are, then? Not for anyone?

**Lisa**: Hahaha, you think so? Yeah, I thought the exact same thing myself, so maybe you're onto something~.

Lisa
I figured that everyone, even the girls in Afterglow, is bound to discover things they haven't before... It's a good opportunity for both bands to grow and mature.

Hina
Ah-ha~! It all makes sense now~! Lisa-chi, what you really want is to show off your cool, mature side to all the young ones, isn't it~?
**Hina**: Ah-ha~! It all makes sense now~! Lisa-chi, what you really want is to show off your cool, mature side to all the young ones, isn't it~?

Lisa
Huh~?! I'm not thinking that at all!
**Lisa**: Huh~?! I'm not thinking that at all!

Lisa
All I want is to fulfill my role by providing an environment where both sides can develop equally. And to maybe do it without doing anything uncool...

Lisa
Well, I wouldn't exactly say I'm a villain or anything...
