1. The train will be departing soon.
3. "Really feels like going on a trip on a train like this."
4. "Right?"
5. "It's like..."
6. "Ha ha ha!"
7. "We'll be there before lunch."
8. "So it takes about an hour?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. An illicit getaway.
2. I guess not too long ago, it would have been.
3. But she's not married anymore.
4. She's the one who jumped on board.
5. I'm the one that made it that way.
1. "We've got to get a bus from there."
2. "Okay."
3. "So, this is your home-town, huh?"
4. "I didn't come to the station all that often."
5. "I was only here until second grade."
6. "I..."
7. "Guess that's what it would be."
1. And my parents were in the process of splitting up, so there was always fighting at home.
2. "Maybe that's it."
3. "Oh!"
4. "That's probably it."
1. "This is the school I went to until second grade."
2. "Oh ho!"
3. "It does look like it."
4. "Is that boys' baseball there?"
5. "So dedicated! Even over winter break."
1. "One more bus again from here. Sorry!"
2. "No, no, it's fine!"
1. "Ooh!"
2. "I was here until I graduated!"
3. "My old elementary school."
4. "So you transferred yet again."
5. "I did!"
6. "I was here until the middle of seventh grade!"
7. "My junior high!"
1. The first place we went was my dad's hometown.
2. This is my mom's.
3. But...
4. Both of their families didn't really get along.
5. "You know eri-chan's mom?"
6. My grandma was kind of like her.
1. "It's beautiful..."
2. "Right?"
3. "The perfect location, right?"
4. "This girl in my class I had a crush on, I said goodbye to her at this station."
5. "But I was changing schools and all, so."
6. "I mean, I said I was moving, but only two hours away by train. We totally could've still hung out."
1. And we were like, "We won't be able to meet up at the store and go out along the beach anymore."
2. We both sobbed like queens at the thought.
3. Bitter-sweet memories.
4. "Okay! How about we go get lunch now?"
1. "Oh. Come. Oooo-ooon!"
2. "You always hit me with those killer lines right out of the gate!"
3. "I wonder if we would've been friends if we'd gone to the same school."
4. "You and me?"
5. "I feel like we would have hung out in different circles."
6. "But."
1. If...
2. We'd been in different groups at the same school...
3. And we did become friends through some happenstance...
4. "Happenstance..."
5. "I mean, I'm curious."
6. "Whaaat?"
7. "Is that the important part?"
8. "Hypothetically."
1. Like, what could cause two people who have nothing in common except being at the same school to be friends?
2. "I guess. Right."
3. "I think I'd actually ask you out or something."
4. "You seem like the type."
5. "I was on the cleaning committee."
6. "I knew it!"
7. "I do. I was even a library attendant."
8. "You like reading, ayano-chan?"
1. We sort of open up bit by bit like this.
2. "Yes. This is it, this is the feel."
3. "Ooh! I'm going to dig into this later."
4. "A quick search says there are all kinds of theories."
5. That you take seriously and answer.
6. And I ask offhand questions...
7. And I end up liking you more and more.
1. "It's cold, but since we came all this way, you want to walk along the beach?"
2. "Okay."
3. After I said goodbye to my friend...
4. We emailed each other for a while, y'know?
5. And I came back on summer break so we could hang out.
1. But then she got a boyfriend.
2. We drifted apart and that was that.
3. If we'd met in junior high or high school?
4. Would that have happened to us, akari-san?
5. Me and nao.
6. The way it did with...
7. Maybe.
8. Which is why I'm glad we met as adults.
