0:00-2:33 - episode 5

*episode 11
planned to confront tenn at the front of his door and talk about how he abandoned his family, but ended up at the wrong room and accidentally vented it all to gaku instead (who didnāt know anything about tennās/rikuās history)
SEASON TWO:Ā āSECOND BEATā
šĀ 3:29-4:52 - episode 2
panting hard backstage after performing and tries to force himself to do an encore for the fans, harsh coughing and refuses to take nebulizer, is restrained and is forced to take the nebulizer despite pleading to the others to let him continue performing

note: until episode 11, thereās small snip-its of riku being sad or lost in thought because of iori having to take his place because of his health and since then, their sales have increased for their latest song, so yea... riku is very depressed about the fans liking iori more than riku as the center
