2. "...No, not yet. What's up?" 3. "Sorry, were you sleeping?" 4. "Hello, Shizuku?" 5. "...Hello?" 6. "Just now," 7. "I got in touch with Ruri-chan."

1. 4 days from now... 2. "Is this Friday okay for you?" 3. That's earlier than I thought. 4. "...Yeah." 5. "Let's go with that."

3. In order to part with my weak self.

1. 5 years later, here I am, going to Ruri-chan to apologize.

1. I can't expect her to forgive me. 2. But still. 3. This is just for my own ego. 4. I was able to think about wanting to move forward with her.

1. "Kaori." 2. "Shi-zuku..." 3. "...Sorry for the wait." 4. "That outfit... it's the one I gave you, right? So you liked it?" 5. "Ah, well..." 6. "There's that too, but..."

1. "I felt like it might give me something like courage..." 2. "...It's just," 3. I felt like they might have an effect like an omamori charm. 4. The clothes I got from Asaka-san. 5. "...Also, I just thought it would be rude to show up in what I always wear around the house." 6. "..."

1. "I know you'll be able to say it." 2. "The new Shizuku can do it." 3. "...Yeah." 4. Thank you for riding with us. 5. The next stop is...

1. ...5 more stations... 3. 6 more stations. 4. I can't breathe.

1. My chest is loud with anxiety and fear. 2. If no one is there... 3. If no one is there, I can just mail her the letter. 4. My breath gets shallower every-time we pass another station. 5. If she comes, 6. then I'll give her the letter and apologize. 8. If she rejects me, 9. ...If I make her scared, 10. then I have no choice but to accept it. After all, I did terrible things to her. 11. "...Will she even come in the first place?"

1. I basically just had my mom make a formal apology. I can't repeat that. 2. ...Back then, 3. "We have arrived at..." 4. "Customers who wish to transfer lines..." 5. "I'm... fine..." 6. "Shi-zuku, are you okay?" 7. "...Ah. Tran-sfer..."

1. "...You are not fine." 2. "I don't feel well." 3. "I think I might throw up." 4. "..." 5. "...Should we call it for today?" 6. No more. 7. No more running away.

1. "..Okay.." 2. "'kay?" 3. "We still have a lot of time." 4. "Then... how about we rest a little?" 6. "Here." 7. "have some water" 8. "Ah... thank you..."

1. Yet that's all I want to do. 2. I tell myself to not run away anymore. 3. I'm hopeless. 4. I thought I had prepared myself... 5. It's frustrating not being able to move forward. 6. "I'm going..." 7. "...No." 8. "...I really think we should call it for today." 9. "How about we re-schedule?"

1. This is embarrassing. 2. I'm pathetic. 3. And all I can do is show her the lame parts of myself. I hate it. 4. She's giving me an opportunity. 5. If I were stronger, I wouldn't have to make Asaka-san worry like this. 6. I hate it. 7. Calm down. 8. Calm down.

1. "Shizuku." 2. "Take deep breaths. Try to calm down." 3. "It's okay."

1. I can hear her heart-beat clearly. 2. It's warm... 3. Her calming scent...

1. "Are you really okay?" 2. "I am." 3. "...Thank you. I'm fine now. I can go." 4. "I'm pathetic..." 5. "...I'm always being saved by you, Kaori." 6. "Shizuku, you're trying so hard to face this head on." 7. "That's a really admirable thing." 8. "You're not pathetic."

1. "...Sorry. I'll need to rely on you a bit more." 2. "..." 3. "Until we transfer and reach the station," 4. "...Could you lend me your shoulder, just a little?" 5. "Yes. Of course."

1. "...Thank you." 2. I'm scared. 3. But, 4. I want to face this properly.

1. "Are you okay?" 2. "Shi-zuku." 3. "Ruri-chan says she's here." 4. "...Yes." 5. "Ah..." 6. "Is that her over there?"

1. "Ruri-chan..."
