Worries

Synopsis

As ensemble practice for the regular concert heats up, Aono doesn't show up to the club. According to Mr. Ayukawa, Aono's mother collapsed and was hospitalized. Practice goes on while everyone, worried, can't quite focus. Ritsuko, who knows Aono's mother well, was especially shaken. Calls that won't connect no matter how many times she tries. Unable to sit still, Ritsuko decides to go check on him at home, and Saeki, Haru, and Yamada join her. Though startled by everyone's sudden visit, Aono haltingly begins to talk about himself.
