Responsibility

Synopsis

On his way home, Aono unexpectedly comes across Takimoto, crying alone in anguish. As Aono shows concern for his senpai, Takimoto haltingly begins to speak—about what happened with a member who quit, and about her own cooled feelings and uncertainty, having lost any sense of meaning in the club. It overlapped with Aono's own feelings, back when he once let go of the violin over his relationship with his father. Aono speaks of the pain of when he had stopped playing, and of his feelings toward his father now—different from back then. At Aono's words, Takimoto makes up her mind.
