        Youta:   She saw us! When Ai-chan was hugging me... I'm sure,
                 from Moemi-chan's expression... Why is Moemi-chan
                 here...
 
 <147>
        Sound:   Kotsu kotsu kotsu.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki.
        Youta:   She's coming! What should I do... How can I
                 explain...
        Sound:   Su.
 
 <148>
        Youta:   Ai-chan...!! What are you trying to do!!
           Ai:   I was just...kidding with him, so don't worry.
        Moemi:   Yeah... I know.
           Ai:   Then... You take care of him. Here! Baton touch!!
 
 <149>
        Sound:   Pan pan.
           Ai:   He he he.
           Ai:   Bye Youta! Good luck!!
        Youta:   Ah... Yeah...
 
 <150>
           Ai:   I have to buy a ticket. Hahaha...
        Youta:   Shall we...go to some tea shop...
        Moemi:   Ah... Sure.
           Ai:   I don't need to buy a ticket since I live in this
                 town... But, I have to hide it from him...
                 If he finds out I live with Takashi-kun... I don't
                 know what he would do...
 
 <51>
        Youta:   I guess this situation is called sitting on a
                 married bed...
        Sound:   Dokun dokun dokun.
        Youta:   You seem okay wearing a skirt now...
        Moemi:   I may go back to wearing pants again.
 
 <152>
        Youta:   Eh? Why!?
        Youta:   Her words cut into me quickly... They're too hard on
                 my heart... Her words.
        Moemi:   ...About your lie... I can't forgive you, but...
                 It's better... But.
        Moemi:   Why...was...your voice... So...
     Narrator:   She was going to continue with, "bright," but she
                 felt Youta's answer would destroy their balance, so
                 she held onto her word.
 
 <153>
        Sound:   Su.
        Sound:   Su-.
        Youta:   ...I feel like...
        Sound:   Biku.
                 Dokun dokun dokun.
        Youta:   We were more friendly when we were just friends...
        Youta:   No! No! I said that without thinking, but I would
                 just hurt Moemi-chan if I tell her now.
                 I guess we shouldn't be together tonight more than
                 this...
 
 <154>
        Moemi:   Hey...
        Youta:   Eh?
        Moemi:   Can I come by your house now?
        Youta:   It's...already late tonight, so...you'd better go
                 home...
        Moemi:   ...I see...
        Sound:   Gata.
 
 <155>
        Sound:   Su.
        Sound:   Ga.
        Youta:   Come by tomorrow...
        Moemi:   Not to your house... Some nuisance may come as
                 well...
        Youta:   Nuisance?... She means Ai-chan?
        Moemi:   How about in front of here at ten in the morning?...
        Youta:   Ah... Sure.
 
 <156>
        Youta:   Then... See you tomorrow...
        Moemi:   Okay.
        Sound:   Ka ka ka.
        Sound:   Pita.
        Moemi:   You...see off Ai-chan...but you don't see me off...
 
 <157>
        Sound:   Do.
        Sound:   Ta ta ta.
        Youta:   I was careless... Many things happen in front of me,
                 so... I can't worry about small things now...
        Youta:   While I was spaced out, the end of the year, and the
                 new year have passed... I'm living lazy days...
                 This looseness is exactly like myself... Dammit!!
        Youta:   I have to pull myself together! I talk honestly to
                 Moemi-chan tomorrow...
 
 <158>
        Youta:   Wait!!...
        Moemi:   Don't go!! Moteuchi-kun!
        Youta:   I want to know...
        Moemi:   Moteuchi-kun!!
        Sound:   Za za.
        Youta:   Wait! You!!
 
 <159>
        Sound:   Gashi.
        Youta:   Haa haa haa.
         Girl:   So you chose me...
        Youta:   Show me your face! Who are you!?
 
 <160>
        Sound:   Tyururururu.
        Youta:   Ha.
        Sound:   Tyurururu tyurururu.
        Sound:   Gacha.
        Youta:   Yes, hello.
           Ai:   Good morning, Youta!
        Youta:   Ai-chan!
           Ai:   Well... When should I come over then?
        Youta:   Ah... Well... Today...
 
 <161>
        Youta:   The dream I had this morning... It was the
                 continuation of the dream I had about a year ago...
                 That unknown girl was the same person who was in the
                 dream I had when I met Ai-chan for the first time...
                 I didn't listen to Moemi-chan and I ran to that girl...
                 That short-haired girl...might be Ai-chan...
        Youta:   And today she said, "So, you chose me..."
        Youta:   This dream may be suggesting what will happen
                 today...
        Youta:   Where...should we go?
        Moemi:   Somewhere that doesn't cost anything, and...without
                 disturbances from anyone...
 
 <162>
        Youta:   School... For sure, no one would come to school on
                 January fourth... But, why school...
        Moemi:   It's been a long time... It's been a year since I
                 came to this class last time...
        Youta:   The stove is getting warm.
        Moemi:   I...may not be able to come to school anymore...
        Youta:   Eh?
 
 <163>
        Moemi:   Come here. It's warmer by the windows...
        Youta:   It is...
        Moemi:   Hey...
                 Kiss me.
