           Ai:   I have something to ask you.
 
 <84>
        Rolex:   What is it? ... anyway... I listen for you.
           Ai:   Right now... I'm planning to write a picture book
                 with Youta...
           Ai:   but it takes time...
 
 <85>
           Ai:   Can you extend my playing time till we finish the
                 book? Please give me time.
           Ai:   Please.
        Rolex:   ... Even though you didn't ask, I have something in
                 mind that would extend your playing time.
           Ai:   R-really!?

      Station:   Line three, the train is arriving, please stand
                 inside the white lines.
        Youta:   I really think we can't see each other for about a
                 month, but are you going to be okay?
        Moemi:   I'm okay. The winter vacation will be over tomorrow,
                 and school will start the day after tomorrow. Then a
                 month will pass quickly.
        Sound:   Puaaaa.
 
 <88>
        Sound:   Gagagaga.
        Moemi:   See you soon.
        Sound:   Gatan gatan tata.
        Youta:   Okay...
        Sound:   Pusyuuu...
        Moemi:   W-well... my father will transfer to...
 
 <89>
        Sound:   Rurururururu.
        Youta:   Eh? What did you say?
        Sound:   Pusyu.
 
 <90>
        Moemi:   In one month... when Moteuchi-kun finishes his
                 book... I might not be in Japan...
        Sound:   Tatan tatan tatan.
        Moemi:   Moteuchi-kun's promise came from his kindness which
                 Ai-chan taught me. He didn't say it just because of
                 the situation, I think his words are something he
                 must live with, such heavy words... But the promise
                 will bring him pain soon... Don't worry. I don't
                 trust that promise... so.
 
 <91>
        Moemi:   But... I'll wait for him... that's the only thing I
                 can do. There might be 1/10000 chance...
        Youta:   ...Wonder what Moemi-chan was trying to say...
        Youta:   Anyway I told her to trust me... I have to give up
                 Ai-chan...
        Youta:   Um... from Dad... that's odd...
 
 <92>
           Ai:   Tou!!
        Sound:   Dou.
           Ai:   Did I scare you?
        Youta:   I thought I would have a heart attack!!
           Ai:   You were scared, huh! I see! I see!
        Sound:   Ban ban ban ban.
        Youta:   Ouch!! Ouch!! Ouch!!!
           Ai:   Um. What is this?
 
 <93>
        Youta:   Darn, she ignored me...
           Ai:   Hey! Who is this... Daizo?
        Youta:   My dad.
           Ai:   Eh!? Is that so!? Hey! Hey! Can I read it!!
        Youta:   Sure?
           Ai:   Well... " How are you, my son..." okay...  " I heard
                 from Tagashira-kun...  but you're drawing a picture
                 book...", okay.
           Ai:   "Don't you want to come here to study?... It's also
                 meant as an apology because I couldn't do anything
                 for you as your dad"... Hey!
           Ai:   Where's your dad at?
        Youta:   ... In Paris...
 
 <94>
           Ai:   Paris!? It's great!! You should go!!
        Youta:   Idiot... What am I going to do about Moemi-chan...
           Ai:   Oh... that's right... But your dad is asking you...
        Youta:   It's okay... He's been selfish, he must be
                 capricious this time again.
                 It's okay to leave it alone.
           Ai:   Oh yeah.
        Youta:   By the way! You look happy. Did anything good
                 happen?
           Ai:   He he he. It's a secret.
 
 <95>
           Ai:   Surely! ... finish it!! ... the picture book!!
        Youta:   Yeah.
           Ai:   If I come to Youta's house, I can take a bath for
                 free. It's very reasonable.
        Sound:   Syawa.
           Ai:   I can wash as much as I want too, and the dryer is
                 also free. I don't have any more money so this helps
                 me a lot.
 
 <96>
        Rolex:   Even though you didn't ask, I have something in mind
                 that would extend your playing time as a result.
           Ai:   That guy  warmed up little bit. Kusu kusu.
        Sound:   Kyu.
           Ai:   Now I don't have to worry about time and I can do my
                 best to write the picture book.
           Ai:   Um! I have a good idea!! If I take time, I'll have
                 longer playing time!!
 
 <97>
        Sound:   Kakan.
           Ai:   ... Shit.
                 I didn't bring my underwear... the one I was wearing
                 is in here... Do I still have one of my panties left
                 in my room?
        Sound:   Gooooo.
        Sound:   Bata bata bata bata.
        Youta:   What's she doing in the isle?
        Sound:   Dota dota dota dota.
 
 <98>
        Youta:   Hey! What are you doing!!
        Sound:   Ba.
        Sound:   Gan.
           Ai:   U.
           Ai:   Ouch...
        Youta:   Again, you're walking around like that!! Throughout
                 my memory of high school, junior high, elementary
                 school, and even kindergarten, for 17 years, I've
                 never seen a girl without shame like you!
           Ai:   Wait! 17 years old... I see. You are already 17
                 years old!
        Youta:   What! Of course, you're 17 too, right? Don't change
                 the subject!!
 
 <99>
           Ai:   No, I'm not!! I'm 16. I'll never be 17.
           Ai:   I'm a video girl, not a person. I don't age and in
                 the first place,
                 I don't have a birthday. When am I going to age?
 
 <100>
           Ai:   When you'll be an old man, I'll still be 16. It's
                 kinda sad...
           Ai:   Of course I won't be playing that long.
        Youta:   Ai-chan.
           Ai:   Hey don't look so down! I had a happy day today, you
                 would destroy it.
        Youta:   Okay.
        Youta:   By the way, wear something or you'll catch cold!!
           Ai:   Oh yeah, I don't have any comfortable clothes, let
                 me borrow your sweatshirt.
 
 <101>
     Gokuraku:   I'm still not clear as to what I'm making because
                 that man holds the key part... but I feel that I
                 shouldn't complete this. If my guess is right...
                 this is...
     Gokuraku:   I'm working for him... I kept it inside of me
                 through all that happened, but... after I confirm
                 with him what this is... then I may have to report
                 to the elder...
