1. "Today's graduation, right?"
2. "It is."
3. "We do have them at our school."
4. "When I was a kid, we had a thank-you party. They still do that?"
5. "Or is it a regional thing?"
6. "Just a farewell party."
7. "What about your class, then?"
8. "But it depends on the grade and class."
9. "Hunh."
1. "Why? You look cute."
2. "Isn't this maybe over the top?"
3. "Heyyy?"
4. "Maybe I should just go to the principal's office."
5. "I dunno..."
6. "Mm."
7. "If that's what you want."
1. "Oh!"
2. "Ikka!"
3. "Yeah."
4. "I'm glad you came."
5. "Ohhh!"
6. "Yoshizumi-chan!"
7. "They say I can do the ceremony in the principal's office."
8. "So I was thinking of doing that."
9. "Huh?"
1. "If I could get all the parents to line up over here, please!"
1. "Egawa rumi."
1. "So they're not throwing a thank-you party this year?"
2. "Appar- ently."
3. "Right?"
4. "Honestly, I wish they would stop with the on-again-off- again of it."
5. "But, well, it'd be a no-go for okubo- sensei either way."
6. "Either do it every year or never."
7. "She's hardly speaking to me since all that."
8. "Speaking of awkward, my daughter ..."
9. "It would be awk- ward."
10. "Mm- hmm."
11. "Here!"
12. "Mana- chan?"
1. "Egawa-san..."
2. "What's done is done. And sensei made her decision."
3. "I've got a younger one, too, you know?"
4. "It'd be tricky if she was her teacher next."
5. "Yes! Exactly!"
6. "She was a good teacher, though, all things considered."
7. "Mana-chan will understand one of these days."
1. It's over...
2. "Congrat-ulations!"
3. "Thank you..."
4. "Now's the fare-well party?"
5. "Yes."
6. "Whoa, that's right."
7. "And today's the last day you'll be working as okubo-sensei."
1. It's strange.
2. I haven't been okubo for a while now.
3. But for those kids, I'll always be okubo-sensei.
5. "All of you did a great job today."
