Card Story: [Big Brother's Agony] Tsukasa Tenma

Part 1

Tsukasa's Room
1
Tsukasa
Just one week left until the Doll Festival...
2
Tsukasa
(Saki's in good health as well, so she should finally be able to enjoy it the way she deserves.)
3
Tsukasa
(Her being in the hospital made it so she really couldn't enjoy it properly, but we can make up for all of that this year!)
4
Tsukasa
Which is why my little surprise is going to play a vital role in this celebration.
5
Tsukasa
Hehehe. She won't know what to do with herself when she finds out what I'm getting her!
6
Tsukasa
But first, I need to find out what kind to get and where...
7
Saki
Tsukasa? You're still awake?
8
Tsukasa
Y-Yes! Yes, I am...!
9
Tsukasa
You're up late as well...!
10
Saki
Oh, yeah... I'm just...
11
Tsukasa
Saki...?
12
Saki
I was always in the hospital around this time of year, so my mind's been sort of wandering in that direction...
13
Saki
Then I saw that the light was still on in your room, so I came to take a peek...
14
Saki
Hehe. I know you're not alone anymore, but I couldn't help myself...
15
Tsukasa
Saki...
16
Little Saki
You have to go home soon, don't you, Tsukasa...?
17
Little Tsukasa
You're right, I do...
18
Little Saki
It'll be dark by the time you get home...
19
Little Tsukasa
Oh...
20
Little Tsukasa
(It'll be dark and I'll be all alone.)
21
Little Tsukasa
If you ever start feeling lonely, Saki, just try thinking about all the plays and books we talked about!
22
Little Tsukasa
That way, you'll feel better knowing that we can play tomorrow and fall right asleep!
23
Little Saki
Okay...!
You're really coming tomorrow too, right?
24
Little Tsukasa
Of course! I'll come back tomorrow and we can compete to see who finds that man in the striped shirt the fastest!
25
Little Saki
Hehe. I really like those books, so you won't beat me that easily!
26
Tsukasa
(Saki's always seemed like she was happy and full of energy, but I knew she didn't like having to spend nights at the hospital all by herself...)
27
Tsukasa
(I thought everything would be okay now that she's finally back home with us but...)
28
Tsukasa
Saki, would you like me to make us some cocoa?
29
Saki
Hehe. Thanks, Tsukasa...
But I'm okay...
30
Saki
I feel better after just talking to you a little.
31
Saki
I'm not scared of being all alone at night anymore.
32
Saki
I know that you, mom and dad are right here with me now.
33
Saki
Also, I can chat with Ichi and the girls until I doze off too now♪
34
Tsukasa
Saki, you know that's not good for you.
35
Saki
Hehe. I know, but it's so much fun♪
36
Saki
I mean, I can finally go to bed after each day knowing that I had fun and I'm enjoying life!
37
Saki
I fall asleep each night so excited about what I'm gonna do tomorrow too!
38
Tsukasa
...!
39
Tsukasa
Saki, you still remember that...?
40
Saki
I do. It's just like you said, Tsukasa. Think about what was fun that day and what you'll be doing the next.
41
Saki
Sleeping is a part of that fun for me too♪
42
Tsukasa
I see. But you need to be careful not to oversleep too. You don't want your perfect attendance to be blemished, do you?
43
Saki
Yeah, that's true.
44
Tsukasa
So off to bed with you.
45
Saki
Okay. Don't stay up too late either, Tsukasa.
Good night...
46
Tsukasa
Good night, Saki.
47
Saki
Oh, I almost forgot...
48
Tsukasa
Hm? What is it?
49
Saki
Let's make this year's Doll Festival the best ever!
50
Tsukasa
Oh, it will be!
