Saki

Oh, Rin, there you are!

2

Rin

Hey, it's Sakki!
Is it just you today?

3

Saki

Nope! Actually, I came early because there's something I want to show you♪

4

Saki

Ta-daa!

5

Rin

Wow! A headband with a big ribbon on top! It's super cute!

6

Rin

And it's...!

7

Saki

Heh heh heh.
I searched around for one that looks just like yours!

8

Rin

I knew it!

9

Rin

Hehe, we're gonna be matching! Hey, c'mon, hurry up and try it on!

10

Saki

Okay! But first...

11

Shiho

What are you doing, Saki?

12

Miku

We could hear your excitement from out in the hallway.

13

Saki

Oh, you're all here! Perfect timing!

14

Saki

Look! Look! This headband matches Rin's!

15

Honami

You're right...! It looks just like it.

16

Ichika

Yeah, it's very cute. I'm sure it'll look good on you.

17

Saki

Hehehe, don't you think so?

18

Saki

And what's more, it's not just this headband...

19

Saki

I have enough for everyone to wear!

20

Shiho

What...?

21

Rin

You do?!

22

Len

Um, when you say “everyone”...

23

Saki

Of course, that includes you and KAITO♪

24

KAITO

What...?

25

Luka

It'll be wonderful to all be matching. But what brought this on all of a sudden?

26

Saki

The reason...is to complete this!

27

Ichika

Oh, that's...your list of things you want to do?

28

Rin

You made it in the hospital and wrote down stuff you wanted to do once you got better, right?

29

Saki

Right! And when I counted how many things were left to do the other day, I realized I could accomplish them all pretty soon.

30

Ichika

Wait, really?
But there were a hundred things on the list, right?

31

Saki

Hehe, some of them were things like “Study in the same classroom as everyone”, so I'd finished a bunch before I knew it!

32

Saki

But there are still some I haven't finished, so I figured I should just get them all done!

33

Len

I see.
So, these headbands are part of that then.

34

Saki

That's right!
Though, the official list item is “Match outfits with someone”!

35

Saki

Oh, also...

36

Saki

Making a photo album is another one of the things I haven't finished yet!

37

Shiho

A photo album?

38

Saki

Yeah!　

39

Saki

A third-year who used to be in my soft tennis club was saying the other day that if you have a photo album, you can make your memories last and remember them anytime.

40

Saki

And that made me want to make an album like that too...

41

Saki

So, as I'm doing all the other things on my list and making memories, I'm gonna take lots of pictures. And at the end of it all, I'm gonna put them all into an album!

42

MEIKO

I see... That sounds just like something you'd want to do, Saki.

43

Shiho

Still, it's been a while since I last heard you talk about that notebook.

44

Saki

Hehe... My head's been totally focused on all our band stuff lately...

45

Saki

But I kept thinking that I wanted to see it through someday.

46

Saki

Because this notebook really means a lot to me.

47

Ichika

Of course... It was clearly important to you from the way you looked after it while you were in the hospital.

48

Saki

Yeah...!

49

Saki

Tsukasa suggested that I make this list when I was feeling lonely in the hospital.

50

Saki

He said, “You're definitely going to get better, Saki. So, how about writing down the things you want to do once you're healthy? That'll be sure to get you excited!”

51

Honami

Hehe. That sounds like him.

52

Saki

Hehe♪ So, at first I wondered if that would actually help, but when I started writing, I really did start to feel excited...

53

Saki

Thanks to that, I got to the point where I could go for tests and stuff with a positive attitude, and tell myself I was definitely gonna get better!

54

MEIKO

So that's how it started...

55

KAITO

This notebook truly does mean a lot to you...

56

Ichika

Hey, Saki, about your list... Do you think we can help with it?

57

Saki

Huh?

58

Shiho

Right. You said there's not much left on it, didn't you? In that case, we'll come along for the ride until you finish it.

59

Honami

Yes. Let's accomplish the rest of the things on your list together, and take lots of pictures for your album too.

60

Saki

You guys...

61

Saki

Thank you!

62

Saki

Then, can we take a picture with these matching headbands? Here, Shiho, this one's for you!

63

Shiho

Huh...?

64

Shiho

Do I have to wear one too...?

65

Saki

Of course you do!
If we don't all wear them together, we won't be matching anymore!

66

Shiho

Um... I did say I'd be along for the ride, but this is...kind of embarrassing...

67

Luka

Hehe, don't worry. I'm sure it'll look good on you.

68

Saki

She's right!
Shiho, pleeease!

69

Shiho

Um, but...

70

Saki

Shiho...!

71

Shiho

*Sigh*
Just this once, got it?

72

Saki

Yay! Shiho, I love you!

Shiho

Wha—
Hey, I'm putting it on, so don't cling on to me...!
