**Little Busters!: Refrain [Season 2]**
*with `Dual Audio (Jpn/Eng)` and `Eng Subs` in `1080p HEVC`*
Reencode of [UQW] (x264 AVC FLAC) to (x265 HEVC AAC) with added subtitles from [DarkHollow] and English audio tracks from [Cleo].
I created an additional subtitles track from the full track provided by [DarkHollow] just for Signs/Songs to go with the English audio track.
*Side Note: The English audio track doesn't have a bitrate in a range I wished for but it was the best that I got. Hope nobody encounters any problems with it.*

**Patch for Default Language / Subtitles Track**
This comes with [English audio] and [Signs/Songs subtitles] as default tracks.
I included an xDelta Patch for those who rather like [Japanese audio] with [Dialog subtitles] as default.

**Synopsis**
Following the Little Busters after they lost their first baseball game, the team decides to have a pancake party. It has been almost one semester since the return of Kyousuke Natsume. As usual, Riki Naoe continues to help the Little Busters' members—both old and new—with confronting their inner struggles. However, strange happenings begin to occur, leading Rin Natsume and Riki closer to unraveling the truth behind the "secret of this world."
Little do Rin and Rikki know, their discovery will end up changing the peaceful everyday lives created by the Little Busters once and for all. Little Busters!: Refrain brings a conclusion to the colorful stories of its ensemble cast—forged with the weight of emotions and strengthened with the bond of friendship—as they come to terms with their regrets and weaknesses.
