Saturday
Saki's Room
1
Saki
It's raining.
2
Saki
My fever's pretty much gone...
3
Saki
But there's no point in going to the observatory now. We
wouldn't be able to see anything when the sky's overcast.
4
Saki
...
5
Tsukasa
Saki, breakfast's ready. I even made you the hot chocolate
you like. Will you come down?
6
Saki
Tsukasa...
7
Saki
(He took a day off from his part-time job to stay home with
me.)
8
Saki
(That's one more person I've inconvenienced.)
9
Saki
Sorry, I don't feel like eating right now.
10
Tsukasa
No? Well, if you get hungry, come downstairs and I'll fix
you something up anytime.
11
Saki
Okay.
12
Saki
I...miss them so much.
13
Saki
I'm so dumb.
14
Saki
Everyone's here for me, I should be happy...
15
Saki
But I wanted to see the stars so much.
16
Saki
Huh? Was that my phone?
17
Saki
Ah, that's right. If I go over there, I can see the stars.
School SEKAI
18
Saki
Hello!
19
Saki
There's nobody here. Maybe they went to the rooftop?
20
Saki
Nobody here either.
21
Saki
Where did everyone go?
22
Saki
I ended up alone again...
23
Luka
Saki?
24
Saki
Oh! L-Luka!
25
Luka
You're wearing PJs today? That's a surprise.
26
Saki
Um, there's a reason for this!
27
Luka
Is it also the reason why you came here on your own?
28
Saki
Haha, well...
29
Saki
It seems you can read me like a book.
30
Luka
You overestimate me. There's much I don't know about you.
31
Luka
I could see that your usual energy was gone, though.
32
Saki
...
33
Luka
Would you like to tell me what's wrong?
34
Saki
So, you see, it's all my fault.
35
Saki
I insisted on going to the observatory together, but then
I was careless and caught a cold as a result, and
ended up just being a bother to everyone...
36
Saki
I have myself to blame for this.
37
Luka
Why did you overexert yourself like that?
38
Luka
As Shiho said, you could go to the observatory some
other time.
39
Saki
That's because...
40
Saki
I've wanted to spend a day out with my friends like that
for a very long time.

41
Ichika
Saki hasn't replied to me.
42
Honami
What if she got worse and is staying in bed? Maybe we
shouldn't visit?
43
Ichika
We'll just pop in to say hi and leave her to rest.
44
Ichika
I think she's feeling very lonely today.
45
Shiho
Why do you say that?
46
Ichika
Huh?
47
Shiho
She was so obsessed with going out today she got herself
sick. I don't get her. Do you?
48
Ichika
Maybe.
49
Ichika
Something she said a while ago has been nagging at me.
50
Shiho
A while ago?
51
Ichika
Soon after she was admitted to the hospital. We once
visited her together, remember?
52
Shiho
Um, yeah? It was a really long way to that hospital.
53
Honami
Her mom said they put her there because of a famous doctor
specialising in her condition.
54
Ichika
I actually went to visit her many more times after that
together with her mom.
55
Ichika
I remember one of our conversations...
56
Saki
Whaaat, our teacher has had a baby?! Wow, that's wonderful!
57
Saki
I have to write her a letter with my congratulations! Do
you mind taking it to her?
58
Ichika
No problem, I can do that.
59
Saki
Thanks! Now, where did I put my stationery... Here!
60
Saki
...and please take care. There, done!
61
Saki
You know what, I'll write to Hona and Shiho too! Letters
are more personal than texts.
62
Saki
They seem so busy lately. They don't reply to my messages
much.
63
Ichika
Um, yeah, they've got a lot going on. Maybe we can all visit
you together soon.
64
Ichika
(That's...not very likely, though.)
65
Saki
Teehee... I'll draw cartoon pictures of them, too!
66
Saki
...
67
Ichika
Saki? Something wrong?
68
Saki
...
No.
69
Saki
I was just thinking that...when I give you these letters,
you'll go and see everyone.
70
Saki
I wish I could see them, too.
71
Ichika
...
72
Saki
Haha, sorry, that sounded pitiful. It's the rain making me
moody.
73
Saki
...don't forget to write back! There, I finished!
74
Saki
Hona might write back, but I wonder if Shiho will bother.
Hehe.
75
Saki
Okay, here are the letters. Thank you!
76
Ichika
No problem.
77
Shiho
Saki...
78
Honami
Poor Saki...
79
Ichika
She must have been much lonelier than we realized at the
time.
80
Ichika
So I think she'd be happy if we visited her together now.
