Saki

Listen

So you were out shopping, and got into a fight...
2

Female High Schooler A

Listen

Yes, we got completely fed up with each other and split up. Before I knew it, I was here.
3

Saki

Listen

That's terrible...
4

Saki

Listen

(They came here to have fun, but they're both all alone now after their argument. That's so sad...)
5

Shiho

Listen

Umm... We should probably apologize for asking you so many personal questions.
6

Female High Schooler A

Listen

No, I actually feel a lot better now after telling you two...!
7

Female High Schooler A

Listen

Also, thinking back on what happened, our argument really began over something tiny. We basically fought over nothing...
8

Saki

Listen

Nothing?
9

Female High Schooler A

Listen

So, when we met up earlier, she told me that she forgot to have breakfast.
10

Female High Schooler A

Listen

Then, I responded, “You stayed up all night again, didn't you? You gotta get plenty of sleep and eat right.” And then she got mad at me...
11

Shiho

Listen

I don't see anything wrong with what you said...
12

Female High Schooler A

Listen

But I do go a little too far sometimes.
13

Female High Schooler A

Listen

Yes, I am bothered by these sorts of little things, but she's also a bit of a mess, you know?
14

Female High Schooler A

Listen

I'll point that out, and we end up in an argument like we did earlier.
15

Shiho

Listen

I see...
You have the exact opposite personalities.
16

Saki

Listen

Don't they remind you of us when we were kids?
17

Female High Schooler A

Listen

What?
18

Saki

Listen

You see, we're also childhood friends.
And we argued all the time when we were little.
19

Shiho

Listen

Now that you mention it, we are pretty similar...
20

Female High Schooler A

Listen

Excuse me, but how did you two make up each time?
21

Saki

Listen

Hmm... How did we make up?
22

Shiho

Listen

Honami or Ichika usually stepped in to stop us every time we began arguing...
23

Saki

Listen

That's right! They did all sorts of stuff to help us make up!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

24

Shiho

Listen

Yeah. They had us have snacks together, or play at the park...
25

Shiho

Listen

Neither of us would budge in the beginning, but we usually realized how silly we were being.
26

Saki

Listen

Hehe. Before we knew it, we'd completely forget about whatever argument we were having.
27

Shiho

Listen

Also... Whenever we'd fight, you'd suddenly apologize out of nowhere, Saki.
28

Saki

Listen

That's because it always hurt really bad when we were fighting. And not getting to play with you always made me so sad...
29

Female High Schooler A

Listen

We might not be any different.
30

Saki & Shiho

Listen

Huh?
31

Female High Schooler A

Listen

My friend is usually the one who takes the first step in patching things up...
32

Female High Schooler A

Listen

She'll share fun videos with me or invite me out somewhere. We'll talk and laugh, and go back to being friends like nothing had happened.
33

Shiho

Listen

I've never really thought about us like this before, but it really isn't common for people with completely different personalities to stay friends for years and years.
34

Female High Schooler A

Listen

That's a good point...
A part of me just figured that we'd never be rid of each other.
35

Female High Schooler A

Listen

But maybe the real reason we've stuck together all this time is because she makes a real effort to stay with me...
36

Saki

Listen

(She makes a real effort...)

37

Saki

Listen

(We split apart for a time...
But we were able to get our band back together and become friends again.)
38

Saki

Listen

(Those things alone made me unbelievably happy...)
39

Saki

Listen

(But we're able to stay together like this now because they're all doing their best to make sure we don't get scattered to the wind again.)
40

Saki

Listen

(In other words...)
41

Saki

Listen

It's hard to realize this kind of thing while just living day to day...
42

Saki

Listen

But it really makes you want to say, “Thank you!” to the people who try so hard to stay by your side, huh?
43

Shiho

Listen

Saki...
44

Female High Schooler A

Listen

I agree...
It's pretty amazing, isn't it?
45

Female High Schooler A

Listen

I... I want to tell her.
46

Saki

Listen

Hehe. In that case, we recommend writing her a card!
47

Shiho

Listen

Yes, we can help you further if you like.
48

Female High Schooler A

Listen

Thank you very much!
Then, if it's alright, I think I'd like to make my friend a message card.
49

Saki

Listen

Yes, of course!

Here, take this♪>

“Wow, this card's so beautiful!”
57

Puppet

Listen

<Why don't you take this card, decorate it and write a nice message for your friend?>
58

Puppet

Listen

<It'll be a true one-of-a-kind!>
59

Emu

Listen

“I wanna try doing that!
Can you show me how to decorate it, Ms. Puppet?”

Writing message cards sounds fun.
Wanna go take a look?
70

Shopper

Listen

Yeah. Let's go check out the event area in the courtyard.
71

Emu

Listen

Oh, MEIKO, our plan's working!
72

MEIKO

Listen

<We did it, Emu!>
73

???

Listen

...
74

Emu

Listen

(Huh...?
That girl just keeps staring at the sign for the event...)
75

Emu

Listen

(Does this mean she wants to make a message card for someone?)

76

Emu

Listen

Hello!
Are you interested in writing some message cards?
77

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Oh, no. I'm okay.
I was just thinking that my friend would really enjoy this event.
78

Emu

Listen

I see! You came here with your friend today?
79

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Yeah. We came to grab some donuts here, since we heard that they're pretty good.
80

Emu

Listen

Oh, they smell really yummy!
81

Emu

Listen

Wait... Where is your friend?
82

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Oh...
We actually got into an argument a bit ago.
83

Emu

Listen

What?! You got into an argument...?
84

Female High Schooler B

Listen

At this point, it's sort of a regular occurrence.
85

Female High Schooler B

Listen

I mean, she's just so nit-picky.
“You need to eat a proper breakfast”, or “your skirt's too short, fix it”, that kind of thing...
86

Female High Schooler B

Listen

So I said, “What are you, my mom?” After that, things got really out of hand.
87

Female High Schooler B

Listen

And we both ended up storming off.
88

Emu

Listen

I see...
89

Emu

Listen

It sounds like she cares about you a lot!

90

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Huh?
91

Emu

Listen

So, I also have a friend in class who's always telling me not to run in the corridor because it's dangerous, and how I'm going to catch a cold if I don't dress warmer...
92

Emu

Listen

I feel bad and apologize every time, but I also feel a little happy.
93

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Happy?
94

Emu

Listen

Hehe. Because her saying that means she doesn't want me to trip and get hurt, or feel gross after picking up a nasty cold.
95

Emu

Listen

Which is why my heart feels really warm every time!
96

Female High Schooler B

Listen

...
I see. You're such a nice person.
97

Emu

Listen

Huh?
98

Female High Schooler B

Listen

And you're right.
When she said what she did, I got really irritated...
99

Female High Schooler B

Listen

But she wouldn't scold me like that if she didn't care about me.
100

Female High Schooler B

Listen

In hindsight...
I feel like I should show her at least some appreciation.
101

Emu

Listen

Then, what if you did that now?
By writing her a message card!
102

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Huh...?
103

Emu

Listen

You could give it to her with the donuts...
I bet you two will be smiling like peas in a pod afterwards!
104

Female High Schooler B

Listen

I'm not sure I can make her a good card...
Could you help me with that?
105

Emu

Listen

Yes! I'll give you all the help you need!
106

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Haha. Okay.
Then, I'll give it a try.
107

Female High Schooler B

Listen

Oh, I should see if she'll agree to meet up again later. Let's see... <Can we talk again today one more time?>
