Periwinkle Vines ###small text is the same New one shot by returning author! ###Circle Sakanaya —509 -1 Mm, yeah. This one’s cute! -2 But the color’s a bit off. The silhouette is awesome, however. This one looks nicer if you’re seated. But doesn’t go well with the vibe of the venue. It would be magnificent in a larger space, though. -3 Hey, Eri, which one do you like? -4 I dunno… Wow, you’re running out of steam kinda fast, don’t you think? —509 -1 You don’t get to say “I dunno”. You the one in charge here. sfx- Fwap No way. Too tired… I had no idea it’d be such hard work… -2 It’s only been three hours, right? -3 You really don’t have any stamina. -4 Justあ… Howか… Do youつや… sfx- Wobble “Just how many do you think you made me try on?” Yeah, yeah. Sorry. It was generous of them to let you try on that many. ###handwritten -4 sfx- Whap But, hey… -5 You tried hard for three hours and aren’t compromising and that’s fine, but… Look… —510 -1 It’s your wedding, ###bold or italicize “your” So you have to call the shots. sfx- Uuugh -2 But I don’t understand the differences between all these dresses. I’ve never worn cute clothes. I’ve got no sense for this stuff. And I could do without the ceremony anyway… Hmn You’ve got a classic case of the wedding blues. -3 Maki-san found the venue, right? How about you ask him for help on the dress? -4 He asked if I wanted him to come with me, but… Couldn’t make it work? -5 No. It’s that I… —511 -1 Well, it’s easier with a friend, right? sfx- Smack Yeah, of course! (LOL) -2 Ah -3 sfx- Shff I forgot. Let me give this back to you. -4 And this. sfx- Clack -5 I really didn’t think this through, so that helped a lot. Right!? I knew I should bring those. Hit it on the head! -6 The Web says you should do things just like on the day of the wedding. Huh? ###handwritten You looked it up for me? -7 I mean, it’s the first fitting I’ve been to. Of course I wanna be helpful! sfx- Blush -8 Mm. Thanks, let me get you a refill. Yay! sfx- Trip -9 Glub blub sfx: Peach Class ###on mugs —512 -1 So… this place? You gonna take it over? Hm? -2 Once I get married, I’m moving. So not while dad’s still healthy. -3 I see. sfx- Twinge Here -4 Hm? Uh, right… She mentioned moving before, but it just hit me… sfx- Vrrrr Vrrrr Vrrrr My phone! -5 sfx- Th-thump Fr-from Maki-san? Yeah. Gotta take this. -6 T-t-take your time. -7 Why am I getting so working up? sfx- Th-thump Th-thump Th-thump -8 sfx- Glance Nothing’s changed since she announced she’s getting married. —513 -3 Ah -4 I see. Eri’s number one is… -5 No longer me… -6 I’m acting like a kid! sfx- Whap —514 -1 Sfx- sliiiiide Sorry to keep you waiting… -3 Bwahahaha Hey. -4 You’re here, dad? What with this? I found this while cleaning. It’s a wall decoration. ###handwritten sfx- Hee Hee L-look at this shit, Eri! -5 Your hair hasn’t changed at all! College High School Middle School Elementary Pre-school ### right to left over photos sfx- Royal Flush -6 C’mon, Shiho… You’re the one who cut her bangs and got the nickname Aka-chan! ### Aka-chan is a pun both meaning baby and red-faced. sfx- Waah! —515 -1 And it’s the two of us in all these photos. Don’t you think it’s a bit much? -2 Of course there’s a lot. You always used to hide behind me until Middle school. -3 Who did? You did. Don’t look away. -4 Ah, this one! This one’s when you came to play, didn’t want to go home, and cried up a storm. But you were the one who cried first, saying “don’t go”. But I was the only one who got photographed ###handwritten -5 Who did? You did. Don’t you forget that. ###handwritten -6 Why did we end up going to different high schools? You wanted a high school without a pool. That’s right… Since I sink like a rock. ###handwritten —516 -1 But we still ended up at each other’s house after school. That’s true. Welcome home. ###handwritten Aren’t you late? ###handwritten Reading the manga we bought, playing games. It was so fun! -3 Although, once we got in college, you stopped coming over. Right back at you, Eli. But anytime you wanted to hang, we got together. But that’s all going to disappear now. Hey, remember this? -4 Ah! Kinda sorta! You were fighting over a toy with someone in Moon class. -5 Yeah. -6 And then you came over, Shino, smacked her and made her cry. -7 And that’s how we met. I come from a family of warriors. It’s in the blood. Maybe… ###handwritten -8 Time to pick a dress? Yeah, let’s. —517 -2 Shiho, dad wanted you to have this. Take it with you. ###handwritten Yay! I love your dad’s cooking! -3 If you don’t want it, it’s ok to say no. Wha? It’s really good! Saves my ass. If so, then it’s all good. -4 The daikon soaks up all the flavor! -5 Um… -6 Hm? -7 …no, It’s nothing. -8 The night’s are still a bit cold, huh? Yeah. —518 -1 Thanks, Shiho-chan. -2 You’ve been a good friend to Eriko all this time. -3 C’mon, what’s with that? Stop it already! ###handwritten Ah, sorry. After all this time it’s a bit… But… really, thanks. -4 My wife died before Eriko knew what was going on. She stopped smiling at that time, and I wasn’t able to do anything for her. -5 So when she met you in pre-school… and started to smile… When I think back on it… sxf- Sniff -6 Uh, I really didn’t think that much about it. I was in pre-school ###bold or italicize “was” Haha Yeah, that’s fine. But you put with her bitching today, right? -7 Both Maki-san and I have been trying to help her out, but she refused. She said she definitely was going to ask you, Shiho-chan, no two ways about it. —519 -1 She said she wanted to wear the dress you picked out no matter what. -2 Yeah, we found some old photos. -3 You going to Maki-san’s place? He said we’d go out for dinner after he finished work. I see. -4 OK, I’m stopping by Matusbiyo before going home. That way ###handwritten -5 I’m looking forward to your wedding. -6 Mm… See you! —520 -1 Eri… -2 Eri, I’m sorry. I haven’t said it yet. -3 I know you’ve noticed. And even though I know you have, I’ve been a bit mean to you. Sorry. -4 ### text on the side is editorial copy. Ignore -5 Haaaah —521 -1 Erikoooooo! -2 Congrats! On! Your! Engagement! -3 Hah… Ah… The young lady there is getting married! ###handwritten I’m gonna get married too! ###handwritten sfx- Stare Stare -4 sfx- Stern Look! At! Your! Phone! -5 What the hell?

It’s punishment for leaving me behind. sfx- Ping —523 -2 Hah…? -3 Ahahahaha! Eriko! That’s so unlike you! -4 It makes me remember… Way back then… -6 Eri… Please be happy.
