[ The moment he actually comes down from the stage, Minako moves. She's no longer just holding on to his hand, but she's just wrapping her arms entirely around him now, straight up hugging him.

Maybe it's to keep him in place, but honestly.. he already left the stage on his own just now. It's probably more about the hug itself. About the emotions behind it. About feeling like maybe, maybe, she will only be able to properly convey her emotions to him this way. ]

I want you to be confident on stage.

[ There's no doubt about that, though the words might be slightly muffled against him with the way she's tightly clinging to him. ]

But I want that confidence to come from you. Not from some external source. Not because someone tells you whether you're good enough or not. [ Even if it's someone really important. ] I just.. want you to believe in yourself. Because you're enjoying yourself up there. .. That's all.
