Every morning,
over and over again,
I sing and look over my shoulder.
This is the sixth spring.
My voice...
still hasn't reached him.
♭01 We're Hiding How We Truly Feel
Have you heard? In NO Hurry is disbanding.
What? But I really liked High School.
High School

Disbanding? In NO Hurry is?
The new student orientation is about to begin.
Congratulations on Your Enrollment
There will be a performance on stage,
so all first-years, please proceed to the gym.
Arisugawa?
It really is you! Arisugawa Nino!
It's me! You know, me!
Is this a scam?
We went to the same elementary school! I'm Mikota!
Mikota?

Arisugawa Nino
Mikota Eiji
Oh. Baldy, right?
That was ages ago! I have tons of hair now!
That's true.
But really, I never thought we'd end up in the same high school.
Have you made any friends?
No. This is the first time I've opened my mouth since starting here.
Huh?
Everyone has left me alone since I've had my headphones on.
You're the same as ever.
Am I?
Have you decided which club to join?
The chorus club.
So you're still singing, Arisugawa.
Yeah.
Looks like something's about to start.
Oh, it's the light music club.
Are they doing a concert?
Hey, look. Isn't that guitarist super tiny?
He really is! He makes the guitar look huge.
Huh?
Okay, may I have your attention?
I'm the president of the light music club, Haruno Yoshito.
Call me Haruyoshi.
If you listen to one of our songs, I'll reward you with a hug.
All right, let's go!
Kuro! What are you doing?
Huh?
Oh! I got the songs mixed up!
Come on! What're we gonna do now?
Let's just go with it, Miou.
Empty words
And conversations full of lies
And scratches left on the desk
Isn't this an In NO Hurry cover?
Worn-out smiles, in the prison prepared by adults under the dark sky
It's High School!
In NO Hurry?
When I stretch out my hand
You slip and fall
You wrench open your falling eyelids
When I say, "Look at me"
These unrequited feelings will never change
What is this feeling? This song...
The path we took can never be changed
Just let everything go
Far out into the sky
Shout out! This song is the melody inside you
Overflowing with all your love, wishes, and lies
This song feels so good when I hear it live.
Shout out!
I'm hiding my heart by singing
I'm hiding my heart by singing.
Come to me
Hear the sound of my heart
Hear the sound of my heart!
The words stuck in my throat and my eyes
The words stuck in my throat and my eyes!
The girl who's forever swimming
The girl who's forever swimming.
A lie that only I—
Hey! What are you doing?
Alice?
Huh?
Hey!
What?
What happened? Where's the rest?
Ever since that day six years ago,
I sang with the belief that we'd meet again.
The melody that you wrote down before disappearing...
The tiny, yet enormous, promise...
I found you.
It reached you.
It reached you!
My voice reached you!
Yuzu!
Ow!
That hurt! What do you think you're doing?!
Yuzu! You're Yuzu, right?! I found you! I found you!
Yuzu! Yuzu! I found you! Yuzu, I found you! Yuzu, I found you! Yuzu! Yuzu! Yu—
I see you still don't listen when people are talking to you, Alice.
Huh? Yuzu, did you shrink?
I grew! I'm 156 centimeters tall now!
I'm 165.
Oh, shut up. My growth spurt is only just beginning.
I drink even more milk now than—
Do you hear a voice coming from up there?
More like a song.
Is it reaching you, Yuzu?
The song you didn't get to hear back then.
Bye-bye, Alice
Your last melody.
Yuzu...
I missed you.
Yuzu...
It looks like it's just your eyelashes that kept growing.
Huh?! What do you mean, just my eyelashes?
More importantly, could you move?
Don't wanna.
Huh?
How come you suddenly stopped coming back then,
Yuzu?
It's none of your business.
Don't talk to me anymore.
Yuzu?
Who's she?
You...
have very thick eyelashes.
Huh?!
Stupid Yuzu!
Ouch! What's the idea?!
That's what I want to know!
Our concert was canceled because of you!
Hurry up and come apologize with us!
Wait, Yuzu!
You won't disappear again, will you?
Were you even listening?
I told you not to talk to me anymore, Alice.
I wonder if Yuzu's going through a rebellious stage.
But...
I found him.
I found him!
She's the Alice from Yuigahama?
Yeah.
Oh, dear.
Yeah? I never knew Alice would be that cute!
I should try to get on her good side.
Kuro.
Stop calling her that.
I'm the only one who gets to call her Alice.
Not that it really matters.
Who cares about Alice, anyway?
Which is it?!
Why are you two laughing so hard?! Did I say something funny?!
Well, more importantly...
What we should be thinking about right now
is how we're going to keep our club from being shut down.
The orientation was a complete mess, after all.
The student council said the club will be shut down
if we cause any more problems.
No way! They can't shut it down!
We're the only members, too.
Ah ha ha!
Don't "Ah ha ha" me!
What'll we do if we lose the—
What's the problem? Let's just stop everything.
After all, I can't write music anymore.
Yuzu! The song that girl was singing...
It's a melody you wrote, isn't it?
And also...
What was with her voice?
Miou.
That song's got nothing to do with me.
Anyway, we have to make sure tomorrow's performance goes perfectly, Yuzu.
I wonder when I'll be able to see Yuzu again.
He's a year older than me, so he'll be in some second-year class...
Milk
Come on, take your seats.
So you finally showed up, Yuzuriha Kanade.
You're still tiny, even after being held back.
Save your sympathy!
Held back a year?
Yuzuriha Kanade...
So your name wasn't Yuzuda Yuzuo?
Who's that supposed to be? And don't talk to me.
You drink milk from bigger cartons now.
I told you not to talk to me!
He did.
But...
I'm happy we're in the same class.
I hope that one day, I can be this close to Momo, too.
I'm sure I'll find him one day.
Today: Welcoming of New Students Students Dismissed After the Event
Today will be an event to welcome new students,
and to introduce them to all our clubs.
First-years, enjoy yourselves while you participate!
Welcoming of New Students Schedule
So the chorus club will be in the gym.
Maybe I'll go see the light music club, too.
This sound... This piano!
There's no doubt. It's...
That song!
It's the continuation!
We're continuing from six years ago.
It's coming together.
Coming together!
With back then!
You liar.
It's time.
For your concert?
Do your best. I'll be watching.
Miou is missing?!
She left a message on my phone saying she won't be in the concert.
She also turned her phone off.
What the heck?
If we don't have a vocalist, we'll be shut down for sure!
Well, what can you do?
No.
I want to keep playing music with you guys, whatever form it may take.
Arisugawa Nino.
I hate to say it,
but you're our only option.
Why?
Why is it pouring out of me like this?
Who wrote that piano piece?
I did. What about it?
My hands are full right now.
You're in the light music club, right?
I am. We're having a concert soon. Why don't you watch it?
Light viewing of a light music club.
Jeez, what's your deal?! Who are you?
Me?
I'm from Class 1-S. My name's Sakaki.
You?
I'm in Class 1-A. Yuzuriha.
What a weird name.
Are you composing?
What if I am? Don't look.
This is the first time I've seen someone other than myself compose.
Sorry for interrupting, Eyelashes.
Don't call me Eyelashes! I told you my name!
Sorry. Eye mixed them up.
I get it. Just come to our concert.
What a weirdo.
Huh?!
The light music club... So basically, an amateur concert?
Next, we have the chorus club.
The chorus club is already starting.
We're running out of time.
I guess it's impossible to memorize two songs before the concert.
How about we go with one—
I've got the score, so I'll be fine.
This is Yuzu's music.
I get to sing the melody that Yuzu composed.
It's resonating through my body.
This is definitely Yuzu's melody.
And yet, both the sound and the rhythm are a Yuzu I don't know.
Hey!
Alice is filling in for Miou on vocals? What's going on here?
I've learned the songs.
You're really going to sing, Alice?
You told me not to talk to you, so why are you talking to me?
Jeez, just forget about that!
So, what's the deal? Are you going to sing?
I will.
That so?
Then have it your way.
No need to tell me.
Light music club, please start setting up.
Then that settles it.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Are you okay?
How I wonder what you are
Yeah.
Up above the world so high
It's been six years.
It's the song I could never stand to listen to.
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Momo!
Mom?
Nino, Momo-kun moved away.
Momo...
I have to sing.
I can't!
I have to sing!
If we can't see each other anymore...
I hope, one day, we can use your song as a guide
to find each other again.
Alice...
Rebel with your voice
Against this hoarse spiral!
Wait...
Match her!
Got it!
With my sound that's been held back against this twisted horizon
Rend with your voice this coil that only grows worse
I sing a song with this crumbling musical staff
What's with that voice?
They've got a different vocalist.
Amazing...
And we crumble away into small pieces
The morning and dead of the night loop back onto themselves
I idly bite down while I murmur and close my eyes
She's so rough around the edges. It makes it hard to keep up!
I never had anything to share from the beginning
She has no intention of matching any of us.
I come to you barefoot to extend a hand to you
She's like a canary that's been kept caged its whole life, going berserk.
Simply rebel with your voice against this hoarse spiral
With my sound that's been held back against this twisted horizon
Amazing. Just what is she?
I can't stop getting goosebumps.
Rend with your voice this crumbling musical staff
I can't stop.
Fly free, winding around our world
Momo.
Momo!
Yes.
Yes, it's going okay.
I hear something wild's going on in the gym!
It's the light music concert, right?
Yes, I understand that.
The dark gray wiring overhead shakes
I run from the night sky, where you're nowhere to be found
To the wide open sky I see beyond the window
Where should I run to?
Save me
The words overflowing from me are ash
Thrown out without ever being found
Stop me!
It's happening again.
I'm filled with such jealousy, longing, and possessiveness
that I feel like my body will be torn apart.
I'm going to be crushed
Watch me
I'm a mess
Just like that promise
Momo...
Alice...
Just make tomorrow disappear
This voice will...
My voice will...
All I want is one thing
Forever...
Just one thing
...belong to me and only me.
...belong to Momo and only Momo.
Rebel with your voice against this hoarse spiral
With my sound that's been held back against this twisted horizon
Rend with your voice this crumbling musical staff
And we crumble away into small pieces
Momo!
Nino?
I'm sure I heard him just now.
Alice?!
Huh? What?
Alice! Alice!
Did she forget the lyrics?
There's no fixing this. End it!
Roger!
That was...
Momo's voice.
Momo? Are you listening? Today's the deadline.
Momo?
We're hiding how we truly feel.
♭02 God, I Pray That Alice's Love Will Never Be Realized
