1. "Okay!"
2. "See you in a minute."
3. "I'm right outside the room."
4. "Hello. I'm here!"
6. "I'm arisa."
7. "Thank you for requesting me!"
Laden…Laden…
1. "Long time no see, arisa!"
2. "Takako-san!"
Laden…Laden…
1. "Your work is important, takako-san. It can't be helped."
2. "I'm sorry. Work's been so busy, I haven't been able to get any time away."
3. "No, it's fine!"
4. It's pathetic.
5. I can't just shrug it off like that.
1. "So you're having a rough time at work?"
2. "Five more years... No, in three more years, I want to break out and start working on my own."
3. "More or less. This is an important time, but..."
4. "Once I do that..."
5. "Oh."
1. "...I'm sorry."
2. "..."
3. "But right now"
4. "I will think about it eventually."
5. "We agreed to put that topic on hold."
6. "...no, I'm sorry."
7. "I just can't think about the future..."
8. "Hm?"
9. "Oh! No."
1. "But look at me, I'm a mess..."
2. "I didn't bother putting on waterproof mascara because I knew I'd be with you today..."
3. "Huh?! Oh, no!"
4. "Your mascara's running."
5. "You let your guard down."
6. "But they criticized it heavily..."
7. "It's going. I took a story to a publisher the other day,"
8. "...how's the writing going?"
1. "Mm..."
2. "That means you have potential."
3. "But if your work was really that bad, they wouldn't bother saying anything about it at all, would they?"
4. "Yeah..."
5. "Well, that's how things go sometimes."
6. "Give it time."
7. "This will pass."
1. "Oh..."
2. "I said no biting, but..."
3. "Oh, that's from my previous client."
4. "They're all pretty good people."
5. "They're basically nice,"
6. "And I have some repeat clients."
1. But there are also some who are really considerate
2. "Mm!"
3. Some people are a little, well...
4. They think up places I might like to go, and take me there.
5. Everyone says the same thing, though—
6. "I wish I'd met you before you started doing this."
1. "It doesn't mean much, because just keeping up this life is all I can handle right now."
2. "When you tell me how things will be for me a few years down the line,"
3. "And I get nervous and scared for no reason."
4. "At the end of the day, I stare up at the ceiling like this"
5. "But some- times,"
6. "And they calm me. I can sleep."
7. "——when that happens, I remember your words,"
1. "How arbitrary, huh?"
2. "---oh. Yes!"
3. "X hotel, at y o'clock."
4. "I'll go right now."
1. "......"
2. "..."
3. "Don't worry about it."
4. "I'm sorry. I have another appointment lined up..."
5. "Come here,"
6. "Arisa."
1. "Ehehe."
2. "There, there."
3. "Ehe!"
4. Yeah,
5. This is the one thing I could never give up!
