I want to be cute… like everybody else! —43 -1 Kikyou-san… sfx- Caress -2 Since I arrived here… people have picked on me, disliked me… just because I’m human. But… While I have had moments of crying by myself since I was different from everybody else… -3 There have been people who have been nice to me. Who could accept me for being human. They said it was ok that I was human. -5 In fact… that they wanted me to be myself. To be human. —44 -1 I… want to be in my own form. -2 Mika… -3 And what if they’re Bullshitting you?! People can lie through their teeth to make themselves look good!

If he pulls something, you let us know right away! sfx- Grrrr -3 Ok, let’s get started. -4 But it’s amazing you turned back all by yourself. Sensei… -5 How is it? Have you noticed any difference since you changed back? It’s… just like was before. I see. I see. —62 -1 When I compare your vitals to when you changed into an Animal Person, everything seems to have returned to normal. Next, I’ll have you do a blood test, and I’ll give you some of my customized medicine to sooth things. Do you have any questions? -2 Sensei, why is it only me? What about my mom? -3 My mom didn’t change back. -4 Kuku sfx- Fluff Fluff sfx- Scribble Scribble -5 Even though you’ve returned to normal, I want to keep you under observation.

You can put your clothes on. -2 I guess the choices are for you to travel to a hospital with better equipment, or for you to get admitted… As of right now… I don’t want to leave this town. sfx- Fidget Fidget -3 That’s good to hear! It would be hard on a certain patient if you were away too long. And I’ll thoroughly research this case too. -4 Haa Are you talking about Kei-san? Indeed. sfx- Th-thump Th-thump -5 But my, my! I was so shocked to see what was going on in the nurse’s office on the day of the culture festival. hw- I’m not even sure what to say… sfx- Nnnngh That was for her rehab! —64 -1 Joking aside, I do thank you for helping Kei-kun out. I’ve been treating her since she was a kid. And it ended up I couldn’t help her. -2 Sensei… -3 sfx- Th-thump Th-thump Will Kei-san really get better? -4 At this rate, she’ll be able to regain enough ability to function in everyday life. She’ll definitely get better. I’m so glad to hear it! -5 Well, I’m the one who suggested she try rehab. I often told her she should try to find a human to help her. Huh? -6 Oh? You haven’t heard this part? —65 -1 How did your exam go? Mika…? hw- Good job -2 W-what’s wrong? Did something happen during the exam? Did that asshole do something to you?! Mm-nn. Nothing happened. -3 Mama… -4 If you came to know something your friend didn’t want known, what would you do? hw- I knew he’d go and do something he shouldn’t -5 Mika, your friend’s really important to you, hm? Yeah. —66 -1 To pretend not to know anything? You’re just like your dad, he couldn’t do it either. hw- You both are terrible liars Yeah. -2 sfx- Hug If you really trust your friend, then you should just go and talk to them about it. -3 I worry that I’m going to hurt their feelings. Mika, while it’s sweet how much you are considering their feelings, you can’t be too timid either. -4 It’s hard to express what you’re feeling in words, huh? But do your best to explain yourself, and listen carefully to what they say. If they are trustworthy as you say, then it’ll be okay. sfx- Mwah -5 Thank you, mama. I’m going to go talk to her, so you can go home first. Got it. —67 -1 Chhf -2 Hm? -3 Mika? Did you have an appointment too? Hello… -4 What’s wrong, you seem down. Kei-san… -5 sfx- Huh? OhMyGod!

Sure. —69 -2 Sensei must have let something slip to you. He just can’t keep things to himself. I’m sorry… I’m… Well, I figured this day would come. -3 It’s about how I lost my sense of smell… right? sfx- Stab -4 I’m sorry… No, I’m the one who kept quiet about it. Sorry to make you worry. -5 I did plan… to tell you about it someday. Can I tell you now? Yes. —70 -1 I was so dumb… -2 It back when this town only had Animal People in it. When some humans came on a trip, it was really rare, so we went to take a look. -3 There’s really nothing in this town. Let’s get a move on. That’s why I didn’t want get off the bus here. hw- No signal, dude -4 But I wanna test something on the Beast People. Huh? -5 Seems like they have a good sense of smell. So I wanna see what happens when I hit them at short range with this spray. W-what? That’d even be bad for humans! hw- What spray is that?! Don’t overthink things, dude. -6 Hey, kid… —71 -1 Even thought I’ve regretted that so much I should be over it, I still can’t get over it. -2 I burdened my parents with a crazy amount spent on my treatment. And due to work, they have to live far away. It’s become easier to not see them anymore… -3 It’s all my fault my family is broken apart… No! That’s not true! -4 It’s not your fault, Kei-san! That’s for sure! sfx- Jolt —72 -1 It’s those humans fault! Those humans are the ones who hurt you, Kei-san! -2 You haven’t been a burden on your parents!

So sweet that I worry about you. -2 When we first met, I said awful things to you. Based on what happened to you, of course you would! -3 Even though you didn’t have anything to do with it, I dumped it on you. I’m sorry for that. -4 I finally could apologize. I’ve always wanted to apologize to you. It’s overdue, but can you forgive me? There’s nothing to apologize for! I’m not angry about anything! Thank you, Mika. -5 I just thought it was ironic. —74 -1 I lost my ability to smell because of humans. And that I might regain it because of you, Mika. -2 But I’m glad it was you, Mika. -3 I’ve changed since I’ve met you. You’ve become my hope. —75 -1 sfx- Wipe So… -2 So if there’s something I can do to help you, Mika, I want to help.

True ‘dat. -2 I know I have to apologize, but… -3 It’s the first time I’ve ever fought with a friend like that. I want to say sorry, but I’m so nervous the words wont come out. -4 And Kei-san’s going to go away while I’m frozen like this. sfx- Slump —143 -1 Hnngh…. sfx- Th-thump -2 What do I do if she won’t forgive me? Waaaah! You’re overthinking it! It’ll be fine! -3 Kei’s probably worried about it too. Y-you think so? You know how Kei hides her problems, right? -4 And… Kei’s changed. -5 Up until now, there’s been some part of her that has blamed herself and it’s been painful. But now, she’s treating herself better and really facing her issues. —144 -1 It’s all thanks to you, Mika. Because you treat Kei like she’s so important, she’s started to treat herself the same way. -2 I’m kinda jelly. sfx- Bump -3 But! That Tsundere part of her never changes. Kei’s got a weakness to needy, younger types.

I’m just a coward. —147 -1 I’ve had so many dreams… -2 Bittersweet dreams where I’m so happy I can smell things. -3 And when I wake up, I can’t shake the sense of loss and emptiness. -4 I’ve had moments when I could smell things… But then it goes right away. -5 And if that happens again, Mika will be so sad… —148 -1 Since it’s Mika we’re talking about, she’d definitely blame herself. -2 I’m used to the pain, but Mika’s so sweet. I don’t want to hurt anyone else. If it’s doomed to fail, if I’m going to make her sad anyway, then it’s better if she hates me. That way I’m the one at fault. —149 -1 It’s not like that Kei. -2 You’re not at fault. -3 You’re not a coward. -4 Mika’s too sweet. But Kei’s just the same. Kei, even so… -5 You’re the only one who can help Mika with her worries.

No, I’m sorry too. -3 Hey, Mika… If you couldn’t change back from an Animal Person, what would you do? -4 If even if you believed you could change back, you couldn’t? -5 And that happened over and over, to where you got tired of believing… —161 -2 Tug -3 Kei-san! -4 Rehab? No, but you’re taller. So scootch down. -5 You’re the big sister, but you suck at letting people take care of you. sfx- Hug -6 There, there… —162 -1 When you’re left alone with your problems, no matter how hard you try, you get stuck in a scary place. You go ‘round and ‘round, only thinking bad thoughts. -2 When that happens, it’s time to rely on your friends. -3 Crying together. Getting mad and all depressed. Even if it doesn’t solve anything, it can help you feel better. —163 -1 Grab -2 What if?! What if it doesn’t go well?! What if you stop believing in me?! -3 Then we’ll think things through together. sfx- Twitch -4 You wont regret this? —164 -1 I’ll just remind you of my scent over and over again. -2 Because it for the one I love, Kei. -3 I’ll let you smell me as much as you want, for as long as you want. -4 Wah! sfx- Whump -5 Thank you, Mika. —165 -1 Nuzzle -2 Wah!
