["Onee-chan, I want to ask you something."
In the anime, after being rejected by Mutsumi and learning about what happened to Tomori and Anon, Taki finally decided to seek help from her sister.
Then, beneath the steps of a live house hosting a regular concert, Taki successfully waited for Soyo.
Seeing Taki leaning against the wall, Soyo looked a bit surprised.
"So you asked your sister about today's schedule on purpose."
She immediately guessed the truth.
"So, what is it?"
Soyo walked over to Taki, wearing a gentle, polite smile.]
Watching this scene, the real Soyo—who had just started to relax—instantly tensed up again.
Why did this development feel… kind of wrong?
["What about the band?"
Drummers really do get straight to the point.
"Don't know (I don't care),"
Soyo replied, her expression unchanged, still wearing that same calm smile—as if they were just discussing what to eat later.
"Hah?"
"Because it has nothing to do with me anymore."
Taki was clearly taken aback by her response.
"You were the one who told Tomori—you wanted a lifetime band too."
"What about that promise?"
"What promise?"
Soyo shot back.
"That was all a lie,"
She said while casually playing with her hair.
At this moment, the anime even gave her a beautifully detailed close-up shot.
Even though she was acting like a "bad woman," her beauty was almost breathtaking.
"It was just a lie to tie you and Tomori down."]
Soyo was genuinely starting to break into a cold sweat.
She had thought the train "cut-off line" scene earlier was already the limit—but who knew that was just the beginning, and the real bombshell was still coming?
At the same time, viewers watching this scene were collectively labeling her a "bad woman."
Of course, there were also those completely captivated by Soyo's beauty.
"Waaah, Tomori, I'm sorry…"
One of Tomori's classmates was practically confessing her sins, her face full of guilt.
She was clearly a bad woman who deceived Tomori, but that close-up just now…was simply too beautiful!
It even made her heart race uncontrollably.
This bad woman was dangerously charming!
You could criticize Soyo in many ways, but her looks were absolutely flawless.
["Ah…"
After hearing Soyo's words, Taki's pupils shrank slightly—but Soyo wasn't done yet.
"I just thought that if we kept being separated, everyone would feel uncomfortable!"
"You mean CRYCHIC?"
"I didn't expect Anon and Raana to join, though."
"But weren't you close with Anon…?"
Taki was confused. From her perspective, the two had always gotten along well.
"Because she was useful, I treated her a bit better."
Soyo revealed a perfectly composed smile.
"As for CRYCHIC, those two aren't needed."]
Stop talking… please just stop talking!
Watching her anime self continuously drop these "bombshell lines," the real Soyo felt completely numb.
After this version of her finished speaking… would she even still have a place in the band?
Would there still be a place for her at all?
["Are you serious?"
Taki clearly couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"All the effort you put into keeping the band together…"
"Was all of that a lie too?"
Soyo didn't answer. She simply played with her hair again.
Seeing this, Taki's temper flared, and she grabbed Soyo by the collar.
"Tomori has been struggling and suffering just to keep the band going."
"You know that—and you've still been betraying her the whole time?"
"Yeah."
Another breathtaking close-up—this time, Soyo could no longer maintain her smile.
"That's too much!"
Taki shoved her away, clearly not expecting things to turn out like this.
"You're the same."
Soyo said this as she brushed off her clothes, preparing to leave.
"Wait!"
Taki tried to stop her.
"As long as you have—"
Soyo paused, tilting her head slightly, and delivered a piercing line:
"…As long as you have Tomori, nothing else matters to you, right?"
"…!"
Taki froze on the spot, watching Soyo walk away.
But once it sank in, her expression turned ugly, and her fists clenched tightly.]
"'A lifetime' was just a lie to tie down Tomori and Taki?"
Back in reality, Anon looked at Soyo with a kind smile already forming on her face.
"'I treated you nicely because you were useful?'"
Even though she had long known what Soyo used to think of her, hearing it said out loud—even in an anime—still didn't feel great.
"…'Won't disrupt the harmony of the band?'"
"..."
Soyo felt her face sting from the boomerang that was a MyGO!!!!!-style "must-watch-and-suffer" special.
"T-that was just the anime…"
Soyo weakly tried to draw a line.
"Maybe I really did think like that before, but I've truly changed now!"
"Believe me, Anon!"
"Ano-chan…"
Tomori, sitting nearby, showed a conflicted expression. After all, both Soyo and Anon were her bandmates—she couldn't take sides.
"Don't worry, Tomori, I can tell fiction from reality."
Hearing Tomori speak, Anon immediately gave a slightly helpless smile.
"But seriously, Soyo… your past way of thinking was pretty awful…"
"She was just a kid, she didn't know any better!"
Kamijou Mutsuki rarely took the initiative to speak up for Soyo.
"You call that a kid?"
Anon's gaze subtly swept across Soyo's "assets," and she twitched her lips.
Why did she suddenly feel a bit jealous?
And seriously, what did Soyo even eat growing up to turn out like this?
If anything, Anon felt that comment suited Mutsumi more.
Mutsumi: ?
"Ano-chan, the current me is no longer who I used to be!"
Soyo seized the chance to declare her loyalty.
"I'm completely devoted to MyGO!!!!!!"
"There can't be two suns in the sky—there's only one band in my heart!"
"That's a bit much…"
Anon quickly waved her hands, feeling Soyo was exaggerating.
"Anyway, we're all part of MyGO!!!!!."
She let out a small sigh, scratching her cheek, and naturally didn't continue pressing the issue.
"Let's just work hard for the band together from now on…"
"Let's make MyGO!!!!! great again!"
"Don't say weird things like that!"
Anon complained, looking at Kamijou Mutsuki.
"Um…"
At that moment, Taki suddenly spoke up.
Usually so straightforward, her expression was unusually a bit awkward.
"I also… even though Tomori is really important to me, I care about the band just as much."
It seemed she was still bothered by that last part of the anime scene.
