(What was it that I felt?
Why did my chest feel like it was about to burst into flames?)

Mafuyu's Mother
Also, Mafuyu, have you decided what you want for your graduation gift?
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. The new term started before you came to a decision, so we can splurge a little by also celebrating you entering high school.
Mafuyu
I'm so sorry. I'm actually still thinking about it, but don't really know what to get.
Mafuyu's Mother
Even after I said you could get anything you want. At the same time, I understand that you want it to be something meaningful.
Mafuyu's Mother
Incidentally, I borrowed a catalog from a friend just in case you needed some ideas.
Mafuyu's Mother
For example, a wristwatch.
How does that sound if you're still undecided?

Mafuyu's Mother
Yes. You're in high school now, so you'll be busier than ever, correct?
Mafuyu's Mother
Which is why I thought this would be nice since you'll need to use your time wisely and efficiently.
Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, how about this design?
Mafuyu's Mother
Isn't it gorgeous...?
It'd be perfect for a young lady such as yourself and you could keep wearing it after becoming a doctor.

Hehe. Wonderful.
I'll order it right away.

My arrangement of that song still needs to be mastered and encoded before I upload it...
