The Doss! End of the Line Farewell Tour - Chapter 1: Heavens on Fire - Episode 2
Aoidos happens to catch Lyria humming a tune and turns it into a full arrangement for Lyria to sing. After a short practice session, Lyria dons a new custom-made outfit, and the band heads into town to perform for the public.
Lyria: D-do I really have to sing in public?
Rackam: Better start psyching yourself up now. I don't think you're gonna change Aoidos's mind.
Manager: Maybe it's just me, but I think the pressure is starting to get to him.
Manager: Something may have caused him to lose his memories, but it couldn't take away his love of music.
Lyria: It's not like I don't want to help, but...
Vyrn: Hey, everyone gets nervous at first. But then the music starts flowin' and the song's over before you know it.
Lyria: I wonder what kind of song it'll be... I'm sort of excited but scared at the same time.
Manager: Judging from his mood, I doubt it'll take him long to finish.
Baal: I can already hear harmonies flowing from his room, which leads me to believe he'll be done by tomorrow.
Lyria: And as soon as the song is done, it's straight to the gig...
Lyria: Sigh... I'm going to have butterflies all day.
(Captain) and the others do their best to encourage the reluctant singer. They have less free time than they expected.
Aoidos: Another song for the ages. Heh, this might be my fastest time yet.
Manager: It hasn't even been half a day since you started... Are you sure you're done?
Aoidos: Yes. Nothing like composing to clear the mind for more composing. How's Snowdos's costume coming along?
Manager: I gave the tailors the patterns. They assured me they'd have it done by midday.
Aoidos: Okay! Then let's kill time with rehearsal! You're good to go, right, Snowdos?
Lyria: Erm, um... Yes!
Aoidos: Vermillios, Dandelios, and Shados. These are your parts. Just read the notes and follow my lead.
Rackam: Wait! We don't even get a chance to practice on our own?
Aoidos: I've written it in such a way that you'll memorize it while sight-reading. They're all phrases you've played before.
Vyrn: Now that I look at the music, yeah, it's not too bad. Still, aren't you takin' things a bit too fast?
Aoidos: Speed is of the essence, my friend, because my genius is a spark of light that can't be contained!
Baal: That man just can't sit still, can he?
Manager: He definitely wears his emotions on his sleeve. Sorry, but do me a favor and humor him.
Lyria: Ooh... My hands are shaking... But I'll do my best!
The band and their newest member, Snowdos, begin practicing for their street gig.
Lyria: Lah-lah-laaah.
Aoidos: Hm. Snowdos sings more of a "laaaah" as opposed to "aaaaah!"
Aoidos: Hand me your parts, guys. I need to make a few modifications.
Rackam: Are you serious? It's finally sticking in my brain, and now you're changing it?
Aoidos: Listen, Vermillios. Snowdos is the voice of this piece, and we can't destroy the world if she can't bring the song to life.
Rackam: Whatever, man. So what'd you change? This part and this part...
Manager: Pardon the interruption. I've got Snowdos's costume with me.
Lyria: Wow!
Aoidos: Great. Why don't you go try it on?
Lyria: Okay!
Lyria: Heehee. I could get used to this.
Vyrn: Woo, lookin' sharp!
Rackam: Haha, imagine the look on Katalina's face if she saw you in that getup.
Lyria: What do you think, (Captain)?
Choose: You're ready to destroy the world.
Lyria: Come on. I'd never do something like that.
Aoidos: That's a world-class review you received, Snowdos. Hang it up with pride.
Aoidos: Your voice and beauty are second only to my own. Congratulations on making the cut as our guest member.
Choose: You're ready to save the world.
Aoidos: Objection!
Lyria: Eep! Please don't glare at us like that, Aoidos!
Aoidos: Hm...
Aoidos: I seek to destroy the world; she desires to save it. Perhaps an unexpected synergy is born—or rather, a false dichotomy?
Aoidos: This rival of the Doss is brimming with reverberating pathos.

Lyria: Heehee. I feel a little more relaxed thanks to (Captain).
Manager: With her excellent singing and the band's powerful instrumentals, I'd say this group is going places.
Aoidos: There's nothing to it. When you've got as much confidence as I do, any changes I make to the score plays to everyone's strengths.
Aoidos: All right, people. The festival is almost here. If I wanna kick my pathos into overdrive, I've got to get this mini gig on the road!
When Lyria woke up that day, she had no idea she'd be on her way to becoming a lead singer, albeit not entirely by her own choice.
Lyria: Right! I'm going to sing my heart out! Make sure to sit up front, (Captain)!
But with a new look and new outfit, she's determined to meet that challenge like a diva.
