Pg 44 Narrator: Masamichi was now in middle school, and Tomoya was in college. Masa: Geez- Masa: My mom is such a scrooge, only letting me stay one night. _Brr, it's cold._ Masa: I told her I was staying with you for a week. I'm not an annoyance. Tomoya: ...... Tomo: Didn't I tell you that I'm going home for New Year's? Pg 45 Masa: You did. Tomo: Then why? _If you'd waited a bit, we could have met._ Tomo: This was a little excessive. Masa: You just don't get it. Masa: Christmas is for lovers to be together. This is my solution. Tomo: //LOV-// Tomo: //-ERS?// Pg 46 Tomo: //Oh, he's talking about us--// Tomo: Ah... hahaha...

He couldn't say anything to make Masamichi angry.// Pg 55 Sedaka: Hm? Sedaka: Ho-- Potatoes, carrots, onions, beef... Sedaka: These are for curry? *ding-dong!* Masa: Tomoya's making it! Sedaka: Oh, nice! Sedaka: I want to eat curry too! Masa & Tomo: EH? Sedaka: Can I come along? Tomo: Uh... Tomo: //If he comes the place will seem more dangerous.// Masa: Tomoya~~ _I went to a lot of trouble to make it just the two of us. He'll mess it up._ *poke poke* Tomo: I know. Pg 56 Tomo: We only bought a small box of mix. Tomo: I don't know if it'll feed 3 people. Tomo: And there's only 2 cakes, so you won't get one. That's too bad, huh? _Oh my~_ Tomo: _What shall we do?_ Sedaka: .... Sedaka: If I'm in the way, just say so. Tomo: !! Sedaka: I'm going home Masa: REALLY? Bye~! Sedaka: I'm not such a clueless guy. _You don't have to seem so happy..._ Pg 57 Masa: He's nice, that guy. He's always with you.

Best in the world!_ Tomo: _Don't exaggerate..._ Tomo: _Do your homework!_ *swish* Masa: _Che!_ Masa: _Eh? You won't take a bath with me?!_ Masa: Wouldn't it be nice if we could always do things this way? Pg 59 *rub rub* Tomo: Hm? Masa: I always think so. If I see something interesting on TV, I want to show it to you. Masa: When I'm playing with a friend, I wonder who you're with. Masa: Every single day, all day long, I think about you. Masa: If we were together, it would be nice. Masa: Don't you think so, Tomoya? Tomo: //I thought of...// Tomo: //...When we were together the only thing was how annoying you were every day.// Tomo: //...The kind of scenes you got into.// Pg 60 Tomo: //There was never anything that embarrassed me so much.// Masa: Na, Tomoya. *rub rub* Masa: Tonight, let's pretend to be married. Tomo: With me as wife? Masa: Yeah. Tomo: I keep telling you, I'm a guy. Masa: You may be a guy, but you're still my number one! *glomp* Tomo: Uwah! Tomo: Ugh, you're heav- *plop* Pg 61 Tomo: Ah... *heart beat* Tomo: //He toppled me!!// Tomo: Wait...

Pg 62 Tomo: Hah? Masa: Isn't there one futon? Tomo: Yeah. Tomo: It can't be helped, since I live alone. Tomo: I have the heater too, and we'll be fi- Tomo: -ne... Tomo: //HA!// Tomo: //I am NOT fine!// Masa: *yay! yay!* Tomo: //Until I met him again, my feelings had remained as they were long ago...// Tomo: //...so I lightheartedly thought we would be fine together.// Pg 63 Tomo: //But this isn't...// *breath* Masa: Tomoya!
