Classmate

Bye, Tsukasa!
See you tomorrow!

Tsukasa

Listen

See you tomorrow!

Tsukasa

Listen

...

Tsukasa

Listen

School's already over...

Tsukasa

Listen

Under normal circumstances, I'd go straight home and get ready for the party but...

Saki

Listen

Just forget it! We're done talking, Tsukasa! At least until you remember what actually happened back then!

Tsukasa

Listen

No...!

Tsukasa

Listen

If Saki and I don't make up, her party won't go well at all either...

Tsukasa

Listen

And I want things to go smoothly for her sake...! This year's Doll Festival has to be the best she's ever experienced!

Tsukasa

Listen

But if I were to just go now...

Tsukasa

Listen

...

Tsukasa

Listen

What exactly am I forgetting too...?

Kamiyama High School - School Gate

Tsukasa

Listen

I've wandered my way out to the gate...

Tsukasa

Listen

That reminds me, everyone in SEKAI is putting on a Doll Festival party too...

Tsukasa

Listen

As long as I have nowhere else to go, it may be best for me to help them out at least...

Tsukasa

Listen

It looks like Emu and the others aren't here yet...

Miku

Listen

Oh, Tsukasa?

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, Miku. I came to help with the party.

Miku

Listen

Really?! Thanks☆ You're a lifesaver♪
Luka's putting up decorations over there so let's...

Miku

Listen

You don't look so good, Tsukasa. Are you okay?

Tsukasa

Listen

N-No, of course I'm okay! I'm full of energy and ready to go like always!

Tsukasa

Listen

Help Luka, right?
I'll head right over!

Miku

Listen

Ts-Tsukasa...!

Tsukasa

Listen

Luka! I'm here to help!
Huh...?

Luka

Listen

This goes here and... Zzz...

Tsukasa

Listen

She fell asleep while lining up the dolls...?!

Luka

Listen

*Yawn*... Huh?
Oh, Tsukasa...

Luka

Listen

Perfect timing. Could you help me with these dolls?

Tsukasa

Listen

Uh, of course. I'll get right on it!

Luka

Listen

Hehe, thank you.
This one goes there...

Tsukasa

Listen

Right, the three court ladies go on the second row, and the one without the ornament of eternal youth goes in the middle.

Luka

Listen

Oh, I see. Thank you for that.

Tsukasa

Listen

Hehehe. You can ask me anything when it comes to the Doll Festival!

Luka

Listen

You sure do know quite a bit.

Luka

Listen

Ah, where does this one go?

Tsukasa

Listen

That one...

Tsukasa

Listen

And she belongs at the very top...

Tsukasa

Listen

...

Luka

Listen

Tsukasa?

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh, uh... Please, excuse me...
I was just thinking about...

Luka

Listen

If you don't mind, Tsukasa...
There's something I'd like to ask you...

Tsukasa

Listen

Ask me?
Sure.

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

Luka

Listen

Didn't you mention that your sister, Saki, is having a party today as well?

Luka

Listen

Are you sure you don't have to be there with her?

Tsukasa

Listen

I wish I could... But if I do, I'll ruin the mood and she won't be able to enjoy herself...

Luka

Listen

Oh? Why's that?

Tsukasa

Listen

We had a fight this morning and...

Luka

Listen

Oh, so that's what happened...

Tsukasa

Listen

I was sure that she'd like some new dolls to replace the old ones but...

Tsukasa

Listen

*Sigh*... I'll only end up making her mad by going home now...

Luka

Listen

Are you sure about that...?

Tsukasa

Listen

Huh?

Luka

Listen

I think it'd be worse if someone you cared about ended up not being there.

Tsukasa

Listen

But...

Luka

Listen

In my case, I wouldn't be able to really enjoy a party if Miku and the others weren't there. Even if it were incredibly extravagant...

Luka

Listen

But when they are there, it's fun to just even sing together♪

Luka

Listen

Which is why I believe Saki needs you to be there at her party too♪

Tsukasa

Listen

Luka...

Tsukasa

But Saki still...

I knew you'd be here...!

Tsukasa

Listen

Huh? Oh, Nene. What's the matter?
You seem to be in a hurry...

Nene

Listen

Mochizuki is waiting by the gate.
She says it's urgent, so please go.

Tsukasa

Listen

Honami? Something urgent...?

Tsukasa

Listen

Could something have happened to Saki...?!

Tsukasa

Listen

Sorry, Luka! I know we're not done yet but...!

Luka

Listen

It's okay. Go♪
Make up with Saki and be there for her♪

Tsukasa

Listen

Right! And thank you for hearing me out!
I'll see you later!!

Nene

Listen

*Sigh*... Why does he have to make such a big fuss over everything?

Nene

Listen

Well, since I'm here, I'll take Tsukasa's place and help you with the...

H-Honami!!!!
Saki! Is Saki alright?!?!

Honami

Listen

Wah...! P-Please calm down...!

Tsukasa

Listen

How can I calm down at a time like this?! You being here means something must've happened to Saki, right?!

Honami

Listen

Um, yes this is about Saki but...

Tsukasa

Listen

I knew it!!!! What happened?!?!

Honami

Listen

Uh, well... Saki still feels really bad about that fight you had with her this morning.

Tsukasa

Listen

What?! She feels bad...?!

Tsukasa

Listen

Saki... I thought she was mad at me...!

Honami

Listen

No, she's not mad anymore. She feels awful about what she said to you earlier.

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

Honami

Listen

And she's been worried sick that you won't show up for the party.

Tsukasa

Listen

She's worried...? And feels bad...?

Tsukasa

Listen

I... I just wanted her to smile and be happy, but all I've done is...!

Tsukasa

Listen

No, that can wait!
I have to go now...!

Honami

Listen

Ts-Tsukasa?! Where are you going?!

Tsukasa

Listen

Isn't it obvious?! To see Saki!

Tsukasa

Listen

Let's go, Honami!
Let's find my beloved sister!
