Hoshino-san is as usual, putting on a smile at the studio. It looks likes everyone is taking precaution not talk about the audition. The girl also, looks as though that she was not affected by it. I asked Hoshino-san, just to make sure.} P: Hoshino-san, are you alright? {She, instantly replied with a smile.} A: Yes. I am fine. ---> [The coolest BGM of the game begins :D] {Those words, looks as though, she is reading from a script. It pained my heart. In addition to that, Hoshino-san as usual do her job, perfectly. I also do my job without thinking much. Before I realized it, Hoshino-san is not around anywhere at the studio. I went to search for Hoshino-san with my heart pounding noisily.} [Street] {Hoshino-san, is alone at the back of the Television Station.} P: Ah, Hoshino-san... {Hoshino-san, who has her back facing me, looks... as though she is crying.} A: Ah...

She then run and hug you.] ---> [Another emotional scene...] A: It came out... It came out... ! {Hoshino-san started to cry. I don't know what to do to make things right. But, I am the only one who must do something about it. Looking at her most hidden feeling, my hearts begin to fill with passion. ... I have been patience. I wait until she stop crying. The time was not a pleasant one. I went back inside together with the girl, when she stopped crying. Even though she kept her silence, myteriously I feel that our space is filled... [At your home] P: (Fuu....) ---> [Let out a breath] {When I arrived home, I dropped down my heavy camera equipment. This could be the first time I ever feel the heaviness of the camera.} P: (Hoshino-san...) {The tear of Hoshino-san due to her failing the audition, cannot disappeared from my eyes.} P: (Why... Why... she did her best...) P: (She is really looking forward to be projected onto the screen.) {It looks like she shed tears that are unbearable. I could not think of any way to cheer her up.} P: (Hoshino-san...) {I realized about how the girl has become a big part of me. I am willing to do anything to stop the girl from sheding those tears.} P: (The things that I can do now...) {Inside my mind, I remembered Hoshino-san's words.) P: (That...) {"Your University's building wall looks as white as the theatre screen--"} ---> [These are the words of Asuka-chan said to you, when she came to your university to perform for the school festival. (First Disc)] {I remembered those words. I look at the camera that I just dropped.} P: (That's it. I have taken more pictures of Hoshino-san's smile than anybody else.) ---> [Stalker!!!:D] {With that thought, I thought up an idea.} P: On the University's building wall, the girl's smile will be... {The equipment to project a picture, my club have them.} P: (The school wall won't lose to a big screen!) {Even with that, I don't think I could end her feelings. But, what I can do, I do it with my best. That's what I want to do. With those thoughts, I starts thinking out my plans. First, it must be at night, or else the idea won't work.} P: (Okay! Let's go to Hoshino-san's place!) [Street] {I grabbed my camera, I ran out of my apartment.
