Lunch Break
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Corridor
Saki
*Sigh*...
What should I do...?
What should I do...?
Saki
(Ichi's busy with class representative stuff today, so I'm safe for now... But if she sees me like this...)
Honami
Oh, Saki. I was thinking about baking an apple... Huh?
Saki
Hm? H-Hona...!
Honami
Saki, what's wrong...?
Your eyes are all red too...
Your eyes are all red too...
Saki
Huh? N-No, I'm fine!
Saki
We're having our special party today, so I'm super excited...!
Saki
So excited...
Saki
Waahhh! Honaaa!!
Honami
S-Saki?!
Saki
Tsukasa... He...!!
Honami
I see... And you two ended up fighting over that...
Saki
*Sob*... Yeah... He completely forgot about how much those dolls mean to me and...
Honami
I know, they mean everything to you...
Honami
But...
Honami
Did he really forget about that?
Saki
Huh...?
Honami
I can't say that I know Tsukasa all that well but...
Honami
I just don't think he'd forget about something like that.
Honami
I mean, you mean everything to him, right?
Saki
But...
Saki
...
Saki
Waaahhhhh!
What do I do, Hona?!
I was so mean to him and...!
What do I do, Hona?!
I was so mean to him and...!
Honami
Wha...!
Saki
He always works so hard to cheer me up...
Saki
Even when I was in the hospital, I was able to get through it because of him...
Honami
Saki...
Saki
He went out of his way to buy me some new dolls and I just ended up saying some terrible things to him...!
Saki
*Sob*... Do you think he'll come home today...?
Saki
I want to make up and celebrate with him...
Saki
I'm finally healthy and can celebrate at home like this... But at this rate, it'll end up being worse than when I was still sick...
Honami
It'll be okay.
I'm sure he'll be there.
I'm sure he'll be there.
Honami
Oh, how about you send him a text? It might be easier to tell him how you really feel than telling him in person.
Saki
I already sent him a message about him forgetting his lunch, but it says he hasn't even read it...
Saki
He's so mad that he won't even look at what I'm sending him...
Saki
Even if I do apologize to him, he won't see it...
Honami
But...
Honami
(What should we do...? I can't imagine Tsukasa not being there for her but...)
Honami
(If he does end up missing the party, Saki won't actually be able to enjoy it...)
Honami
Is there anything that I can do...?
Lunch Break
Kamiyama High School - Corridor
Toya
(This is a rare sight...)
Toya
(It says Tsukasa hasn't even read the message I sent him.)
Toya
(I was hoping to hear if the new dolls he bought were okay but...)
Toya
(I suppose that can wait. It is Tsukasa after all. I'm sure he's busy thinking about how to make that party as fun as possible...)
Toya
Hm...?
Tsukasa
*Sigh*...
How did this happen...?
How did this happen...?
Toya
Tsukasa...?
Tsukasa
Huh? O-Oh, Toya!
Tsukasa
Hello! Thank you again for yesterday!
Toya
Um, I'm glad I was able to help.
Toya
But I sent you a message earlier, and it looks like you haven't even seen it yet...
Tsukasa
Huh? A message?
All morning, my phone hasn't...
All morning, my phone hasn't...
Tsukasa
What?! How the?!
Tsukasa
No! I left it at home...!
Toya
I see, that explains everything.
Tsukasa
I'm sorry for not getting back to you... Is there something you'd like to talk about?
Toya
Oh, no. It's not urgent or anything...
Toya
I was just wondering if Saki liked the dolls you bought for her is all...
Tsukasa
...
Toya
Oh, did something happen...?
Tsukasa
Well, she and I got into a fight...
Toya
With Saki?
How?
How?
Tsukasa
This morning, I tried to swap out the old dolls with the new ones, but she said the old ones were better...
Tsukasa
It escalated into a big fight and I rushed off to school after that.
Toya
Oh, I see...
Tsukasa
No, don't feel bad!
None of this is your fault!
None of this is your fault!
Tsukasa
I really do appreciate your help, and I'll make sure to return the favor later!
Tsukasa
But it's time for lunch and I require some brain food! You should do the same, Toya, in preparation for the afternoon!
Toya
Oh...
Toya
(Tsukasa... He's been working so hard to make sure Saki fully enjoys the Doll Festival...)
Toya
Is there anything that I can do...?
