3 4 (ka-chik) Ahh!! (jolt) You're looking at that photo album /again/!? You scared me... it's you, Iku? Who do you think you are, letting yourself in? Your fault for not locking the door, Maya! Too careless! I told you to let me know if you're coming. What time do you even think it is right now? 5 So, you... rediscovered your first love? Has there been any progress? Not really. (shut) (Geez!) So unfriendly! I was about to tell you something good, too. But now I won't. What are you talking about? 6 I just got told they approved the commercial song tie-in! I wanted you to be the first to know, Maya! What? For real? That's pretty awesome! Congratulations, Iku. You too, Maya. Eh... Where's that song! You know, the one I always told you I wanted to sing. Hey- wait! Here it is! This one. I told you, that song's not finished. Just the music, right? We've got the lyrics, so we should hurry up and use them. (Boooo!) Don't be ridiculous. Anyway, this is important work for you, Iku. You should use your own song. 7 (Mnnn...) But I at least want to submit it as a candidate, so maybe just the hook... I said, no. ...What are you getting so worked up about? You're weird tonight, Maya. 8 I wonder... if Asami-san's still up... (Good night, honey) Honey... I should reply... Ah, but it's past 2 at this point... I'd just be a nuisance... But I really should reply... I wish I'd seen it sooner... I just want my existence to stir you up somehow. Well, you're certainly stirring me up. (Hoo...) That beef bowl... was really good. 9 And then... singing in front of other people... Staying out late... Drinking myself sick... All of it. (bluuuuuuush) But we're both women! Just what am I supposed to do about this? (clack) To [can't read the mother's name] and Minato From Dad My feelings just can't catch up... 10 with these whirling, hectic new days. Minato! Should we go to lunch? (slide) Sure! (What do you want to eat?) (Ah! Well, I brought a lunch today...) (step) 11 Um... I'm sorry about yesterday. I know I kind of drank myself sick. Do you remember anything? I- I do, yes! I wasn't /that/ drunk...! Mmmm? Then do you remember /everything/? (Like say, this or that...) Wh... what exactly... /are/ you and I? What do you mean? 12 Well, I... mean, we go out together every night... And... we... k... iss and stuff... It's fun, right? Huh? We enjoy being together, so we stay with each other. Does it have to be more complicated than that? 13 That's just like Asami-san. I'm saying, that's not any reason for us to ki... ss... Ha! Even though you want to do more? Such a simple, easy response. Not going to deny it? I wish I... could be like that... 14 Next time, I'll lend you the CD from my dad that one song came from. Eh? Only if you want, of course. Since you seemed to like it. Are you really okay letting me borrow it? Isn't that song really important to you? I just... wanted you to hear the whole thing, Asami-san. 15 16 Hey! What do you think you're doing!? We're at /work/!! A reward! Wh- Wh- Wh- What would we do if somebody /saw/ us!? 17 What... was that... You're kidding, right? I really am terribly sorry. Is there any chance I'll still be able to make it? (Urgent) 18 I'll head there right awa... (beeeep beeeep) whewww What the hell am I doing... What's up, Mase? Don't tell me you missed an appointment? For real?? Wow, there's a rarity! Oh, and here. You left your case at the branch store. What! What's going on, man? This isn't like you! (Ah ha ha!) 19 (vsssshhhhhh) Mr. Businessman, are you sure you don't want to take an umbrella? [sign:]Hostess Bar No, please don't worry about it. I'll grab a taxi. See you, then! (Booked) Damn it... I didn't hear anything about it raining today... (clench) God... damn it... 20 Oh, home already? You're early today. Yes, I'm going over to a friend's house after this. What! You're just going out again? Is it that senpai from work? Huh!? Yeah... But before that, I'd better stop by Haruto's place. Haru-kun's? He's missed work the last two days. Seems like he got a cold. I figured I should check how he's doing. Oh, a cold? It's been so chilly lately with this constant rain... Thank goodness! We've got some pudding. Don't bring him that. Take something a little more nourishing. No, this will do just fine. I'm here to visit the cold patient! 21 Here, pudding! Your favorite, Haruto! How do you know that? I know everything! Nothing like pudding for a cold, they say! I've never heard anybody say that... Enough complaining, eat up! You'll be cured in no time! Is it good? Yeah... 22 Get better soon, Haruto! Here! No, that's... fine... 23 None of that, now. If you don't eat you won't get better. I don't want pudding. Huh!? I thought you loved it! Hey, listen... Do you know how lame it is for a guy my age to love pudding? (rip) (Ah ha ha!) What's the use trying to act tough around /me/? The chief was worried the day before yesterday. He said the known perfectionist Mase had made a rare mistake. 24 Did something happen? Feed it to me. Huh? Then I'll eat it. 25 What's this? You don't usually want to be babied. I won't try to act tough... around you anymore, Minato. Haruto's... weird. Well, nothing for it... Here. 26 What... is this? It's all... just wrong and awkward somehow... 27 I, uh... I have somebody waiting for me, so I'd better get going! (snag) 28 Haru...to? What are you doing? What's wrong? Let me... go... 29 In the old days, you would... keep holding on to my hand until you knew I was asleep. 30 You can kiss Asami, but you can't kiss me? 31 32 /Not/ just... /anybody/ will do... You know /she/ won't do... Minato...
