Tsukasa

I really struggled to get a grasp of my character for our show as ambassadors this time around.

2

Tsukasa

However! I was able to expand my acting range and take a big step towards becoming a star! Well done, me!

Tsukasa

Hah hah hah hah!

Saki's Voice

Um, Tsukasa.
Are you free right now? There's something I want you to do for me...

5

Tsukasa

Hm? Saki?

Tenma Household - Living Room

6

Tsukasa

I see. So you also don't have practice today.

7

Saki

Yeah. I'm still gonna work on some stuff on my own later though♪

8

Saki

But before I do that, I wanna try playing the piano with you since it's been so long♪

9

Tsukasa

Oh, piano four hands! How long has it been?

10

Saki

That's my point! Seeing you practice for your show really made me want to play!

11

Saki

So, can we try “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” together♪

12

Tsukasa

Yes, of course!

Saki

Huh? This bench feels so small.
It looked so much bigger when we were little.

14

Tsukasa

It's proof that we've both grown up since then.

15

Tsukasa

Anyway, let's start...

16

Saki

Okay♪

Tsukasa

(It's been so long since we last played “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” together, but it's like we still know what to do.)

18

Tsukasa

(Still...)

19

Tsukasa

(She used to have so much trouble playing when she was little, but now, she's far better than I am.)

20

Tsukasa

(To be fair, she's been practicing every day with her band. I'm so proud of you, Saki.)

21

Saki

Man, that was so much fun!
Thanks for playing with me, Tsukasa!

22

Tsukasa

The pleasure was all mine.
Don't hesitate to ask if you ever feel like playing together again!

23

Saki

Okay! Oh, also...

24

Saki

Tsukasa, do you remember the day I was discharged from the hospital? You know, right before I was supposed to start back up at school?

25

Tsukasa

Hm? Yes, I still remember.

26

Tsukasa

I couldn't go pick you up with Mom and Dad because I had school that day, so I was forced to anxiously await your return.

27

Tsukasa

But I became so antsy that...
That's right. I ended up playing the piano to pass the time.

28

Saki

Yeah! You even put on a show for me!
That really weird improv one!

29

Tsukasa

What do you mean “weird”?
I put everything I had into that show, you know?

30

Saki

But you wore this really tight and glossy jacket, remember? It looked so weird and you even put on a mustache, right?

31

Saki

But it looked good on you for some reason! And the way you sang with a deep voice sounded really nice too!

32

Saki

I was literally just discharged from the hospital and you had me laugh so hard that my sides started hurting.

33

Tsukasa

That's right. You and Mom were rolling on the floor laughing.

34

Saki

Yup! Just thinking about it makes me giggle.

35

Saki

Also, Tsukasa...

36

Saki

You playing the piano and putting on a show for me that time really put my mind at ease.

37

Tsukasa

Put you at ease?

38

Saki

Yeah. I could finally say, “I'm home.”
That actually almost made me cry.

39

Tsukasa

I had no idea...

40

Saki

That includes right now too.
Hearing you on the piano or practicing lines makes it feel like I'm really home♪

41

Saki

Not only that, whenever I'm having trouble writing or practicing a song, I open my door just a crack to listen to your voice as you practice, Tsukasa.

42

Tsukasa

My voice?

43

Saki

Yeah! Because hearing your voice always makes me feel a lot better!

44

Saki

Oh, remember how Thorpe always looked up to the stars whenever he felt stuck?

45

Saki

Hehe. This is just my guess... But Thorpe has his stars, while I have you, Tsukasa♪

46

Tsukasa

...!

47

Tsukasa

I see... In that case...!

Tsukasa?

Tsukasa

Tenma, written as “soaring Pegasus”!
Tsukasa, meaning to govern!
I am Tsukasa Tenma!

50

Tsukasa

The one destined to become a world-famous star whose light never wanes!

51

Tsukasa

If you ever feel lost, I shall be there with my brilliance to show you the way!

52

Saki

H-Hahaha...!

53

Saki

Tsukasa, you know that makes you sound more like the sun instead of a star, right?

54

Tsukasa

Hm? Yes, point taken, but it works either way since they're essentially one and the same!

55

Saki

And you still just gloss over the details...

56

Saki

But in any case. Thanks, Tsukasa!

57

Tsukasa

You're very welcome!
