1. "Unless you were involved, head to the gym for the closing ceremony."
2. "Qu- quiet down!"
4. "Will do."
5. "Vice president sekiguchi-san, can you take care of that?"
6. "Then there's the student council's speech..."
7. "That girl... The student council president isn't here after all..."
8. Even without me, the world keeps spinning.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. So it's alright,
2. To let the fireworks shine on their own.
3. ...Even if it's just a moment.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. If that
1. "It's been a long time since I had a cheeseburger."
2. "...it's pretty tasty."
3. "Are you just having fries, naoi?"
4. "I'm not really hungry."
5. "You can eat a ton when it's someone else's money, huh?"
6. "...I'll pay you back."
1. "It's just pretty surreal to be eating together."
2. "What?"
3. "I kinda get the feeling,"
4. "You're the type of person that just lives off fries."
5. "You know, somehow..."
1. "What the hell?"
2. "...seriously?"
3. "What mental image of me do you have?"
4. ...it's already this late.
5. "I paid for it so I can have some, right?"
6. "Hey, my drink-"
1. "HERE, YOU CAN EAT THE REST."
3. "Thanks for the meal."
4. "I NEED TO STOP BY HOME FIRST,"
5. "THEN I'VE GOT CRAM SCHOOL..."
6. "Huh?"
7. "No, no, no."
8. "WAIT!"
9. What's with, this pushover attitude?
1. There's no 'us'.
2. "Are you really going to try..."
3. "Huh?"
4. "Seriously?"
5. "...going back to the status quo again?"
6. "You really don't get it?"
7. "Then... Do you want to come home with me?"
1. "You don't have to if you don't want to..."
2. "Wh-"
3. "Why are you so worried about what your mom thinks?"
4. "Does she hit you?"
5. "...by now the school must have reached out."
1. "She doesn't hurt me. She hurts herself."
2. "...no."
3. "...mom, what are these?"
1. "No, it doesn't hurt anymore."
2. "...it's just an old injury."
3. "But you're kind to ask, kurumi."
4. "Does it hurt?"
1. "You really got 100 points!"
4. "That's amazing Kurumi!"
5. I WONDER IF MOM WILL BE HAPPY.
6. "IT'S 'CAUSE I STUDIED."
7. "It's not that big of a deal!"
8. WHAT A WASTE...
10. IT'D BE NICE IF I COULD MAKE HER FEEL EVEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER...
1. "You can't make even one mistake..."
2. "Getting an easy problem like this wrong..."
3. "Why did you get this wrong?"
4. "Huh?"
5. "!?"
6. "It should all be perfect!"
1. "...I'm sorry!"
2. "Kurumi, I need you to understand, okay?"
3. "But even one mistake can end up ruining your life."
4. "I don't want you to end up like me."
1. "I'll work much harder, so..."
2. "I'm so sorry, mom..."
3. "IF YOU DO YOUR BEST, THEN MOM CAN TOO."
4. "THANK YOU."
1. My keys are still at school and the door is locked. I can't get in unless someone opens it...
2. No one's home?
3. "Everything alright?"
1. What do I do? She might be incapacitated...
2. "Yoshizawa-san."
3. "The window's open."
1. "She's not here..."
2. I said I'd deal with it when it happens, but...
3. "It'd be good if that were the case..."
4. "Maybe she went shopping?"
5. Is this a missing persons case? Don't tell me she comitted suici-
1. "Huh? Is everything okay? I wonder what we should do..."
2. "Kurumi-chan? I've been trying to reach you on your cellphone!"
3. "SORRY... I DROPPED IT IN SOME WATER."
4. "THIS IS YOSHI-ZAWA..."
5. "GRANDMA?"
6. "...WHAT?"
7. "Mamiko will be here for a while..."
8. "Hmmm... what to do..."
9. "..."
10. "I would have extended the offer for you to come as well,"
11. "but you have a summer course apparently, and I don't want to disturb your work."
1. "Hm? Oh she's the same as always!"
2. "...IS MOM OKAY?"
3. "Call if anything happens!"
4. "You're such a good kid Kurumi-chan!"
5. "She says she'll put money on your card."
6. "...YEAH, THAT'S FINE."
7. "WHAT THE HELL..."
1. She'd tell me how she couldn't live without me.
2. "It was all pointless."
3. But if I'm not a daughter she can be proud of, then she doesn't care.
4. All my anxiety was for nothing.
1. She saw my messed up face,
2. Mom...
3. But she didn't have any kind words for me...
4. I still...
5. Even so...
1. "I did my best, worked myself to the bone, just for her sake and praise and yet-"
2. "Even though I've never had anywhere to run..."
3. "She didn't say anything. She didn't ask anything."
4. "She just ran away from me."
1. "I don't know why I'm telling you this. It doesn't involve you."
2. "I'm sor-"
1. "What?! Don't-"
2. "!"
3. "It's okay to be relieved that she's gone."
4. "That's not-"
5. "If you blame her and yourself, you'll just wear yourself out."
6. "I mean,"
7. "You feel that way, even just a little bit right?"
1. "I'll help you shoulder all of it."
2. "At this point you don't have to lie to me."
3. ...thank goodness. With this yoshizawa-san also...
1. "Here you go!"
2. "THANK YOU,"
4. "AKANE-CHAN."
1. "Did you forget we were friends in elementary school!?"
2. "I live nearby anyways."
3. "Don't worry about it!"
4. "And you got sent to walk home with me..."
5. "Sorry, it's my fault we missed the closing ceremony."
6. "Though she's always been the type to bottle things up, right?"
7. Still,
8. "I was really surprised when kurumi popped off like that."
9. "Hm?"
10. "Oh"
11. "Sorry..."
12. "..."
1. "That's it!"
2. "What is it exactly?"
3. "YOU MEAN THIS?"
4. "SAY, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WEARING THAT WEIRD HAIRPIN LATELY."
5. "...WEIRD?"
6. "YOU'RE A CARROT!"
7. "A carrot..."
8. "You say the weirdest things..."
9. "AND YOU HAVE NO FILTER, AS USUAL, AKANE-CHAN."
10. "WHA- ?!"
11. "Awesome!"
12. "You've always been crafty..."
13. "Where'd you buy this?"
14. "I MADE IT MYSELF ACTUALLY..."
1. "It's been a while since we talked like this."
2. "Even though we're in the same class!"
4. "Kurumi-chan and everyone else,"
5. "We..."
6. "We grew apart."
1. "..."
2. "We didn't grow apart on purpose, kurumi just..."
3. "It's just over there..."
4. "...want me to walk with you to your place?"
6. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
7. "...akane-chan."
1. "'cause we're friends!"
2. "Oh,"
3. "I should have mentioned I'll be working part-time at her place over the summer..."
1. "Have you calmed down a bit?"
2. "...yeah."
3. "I work part-time in the evenings."
4. "...I see."
5. "I better get going soon then."
6. "Huh?"
1. She got pretty upset...
2. Earlier, when I was about to go home alone...
3. "I have to head out too, for cram school."
4. "Hm? You wanna stick with me some more?"
5. "Not particularly..."
1. "..."
2. "Oh... Gotcha."
3. "Well, I've gotta go this way so..."
1. I might not see her again until the second semester starts...
2. This feels like goodbye somehow.
3. "Naoi."
1. "...we should meet up over summer break."
2. "You're the one that brought it up!"
3. "Honestly, I'm going to be really busy with my part-time job."
4. "Well,"
5. "In that case..."
6. "Hmmm?"
1. "Your mom's not here,"
2. "So sometime late at night should work."
3. "Huh?"
4. "How does a nighttime date sound?"
1. This is home-room teacher Hotta.
2. Regarding today's incident... I'd like to schedule a meeting, even though it's summer vacation. Is there a day that works for you?
3. Isanuma-san will be there as well...
4. I'll be awaiting your response.
7. "SAME!"
