Ichika couldn't believe that it wasn't all a dream. The feel of the guitar in her hands, her friends together again-playing as a band. It was all for a moment, and Shiho only agreed in exchange for Miku telling her how to get out of the SEKAI. Even so, for a brief moment, that wave of nostalgia transported her back to happier times.

How she had longed for those times again. Nothing was the same after Saki went to the hospital. Things just seemed to fall apart. But now that she was back... so full of life and determination to bring everyone together again...

Ichika could no longer return to how things were. After all, the distance that had formed between her, Shiho, and Honami felt unnatural. Even with their reluctance and speedy exit from the SEKAI, that moment of nostalgia... of being together, playing as a band, and seeing that lively spark in Saki's eyes...

She knew she could hope again. Because of Miku. For Saki. Drawing close to her childhood friends no longer felt like a fantasy, it was within her grasp. So close she could touch it. Thanks to Hatsune Miku. To the SEKAI.

After all, if they were all summoned to the same place, they must all share the same true feelings deep inside.
