You have a lot of faith in other people.

[ It's not a bad thing. It's a quality he envies, actually. ]

Do you still hold onto that, even when you've been wronged?

[lustro]

Mm… I don’t know if it’s that? I have faith in the people important to me. But… I guess even then, I could stand to… be more honest with them.

[ What a contradiction. ]

I don’t really care about what other people think though.

[dadsandals]

...I understand.

[ Same hat once again, Ginger, except that last part. ]

I kind of have to care about my image, though. It's my job to appeal to the public. It's what idols do...so I need to be pretty careful, back at home.

[lustro]

Then… how do you present yourself back home? And when do you get to be just Yamato?

[dadsandals]

I...do my best to keep smiling, I guess. I don't want the fans to see me upset or sad. That's not what idols are here for.

[ As for that second part- ]

Just "Yamato"... I don't know about that. It's not really a side I'm proud of, or a side people really get to see. I've felt more like myself here than I have in a long time.

[lustro]

Ah, because your fans aren't here and we're not here to be your fans? True.

[ He does wonder though if the mask isn't real, then... isn't it just hurting everyone - fans and idol both - to believe in a hollow dream? ]

But that doesn't mean we can't cheer you on. So, I believe in you, Yamato.

[ ...

He holds onto the flower a little tighter. ]

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot, Ginger.

[ He gently claps his hand on Ginger's shoulder. ]

Come on. Let's keep going to the courtyard.
