When Rena is back at work with the SKE group, it's to rehearse their next concert. It's already been a month since her fight with Jurina, and the older Matsui looks forward to seeing the girl when she arrives this Friday afternoon at the Nagoya Dome. It's already 2 PM, and a few girls are trying costumes in the dressing room. When Rena comes in, she's a bit disappointed to not find the younger Matsui. Sure it's still early, but she kind of hoped to catch her before the beginning of the rehearsal to have a talk with her. She spots Churi who's busy reading a sheet in a corner of the room, and goes to sit next to her. The girl sensing movement next to her raises her eyes, surprised."Hello Rena! It's been a long time.""Hi Akane. Yes, these last few weeks have been hectic.""I can't imagine being in a concurrent group. I don't know how you do it."Rena nods but doesn't say anything, never one to complain. Of course, she would sometimes prefer a lighter schedule, the trips back and forth between Tokyo and Nagoya quite tiring, but she can't really do anything about it. What can she say? She loves her work: it's what makes her get up every morning with a smile on her face.The concert's tracklist is laying on the table in front of her and she goes through it, while taking her coat off. Another tiring three hours gig awaits them."By the way, you're quite early today," Churi remarks."Well, you know me. I always need more time to rehearse."Churi chuckles at Rena's embarrassed smile. The older Matsui then turns to her in surprise."What are you doing here so early? You're one of the best dancers."Churi waves her hand, embarrassed by the compliment."I'm not, but thank you. Speaking of early, Jurina was the first one to arrive," Churi winces."Jurina is here?"Rena looks around, surprised she missed her. Churi follows her gaze and sighs."Already on stage.""Really?" Rena's voice pitches up in shock."I planned to arrive later, but I felt bad leaving her to rehearse alone. She's been acting strange lately."Churi notices Rena's confused gaze on her, and she stops what she's doing. She didn't mean to voice this last part out loud, but maybe it's time to confide in someone. Especially when she senses the older Matsui is in a way responsible for Jurina's current mood swings. She knew her friend felt bad about her fight with Rena, but somehow, she believed there was more to it that she wasn't telling her."Could you please talk to her when you have a minute?" Churi asks, admitting her helplessness.Rena notices Churi's worried look and nods. At first, she was planning to talk to the girl about Jurina, but seeing how she seemed to be as clueless as her, she knew she had to go straight to the source.
