It's raining.
My fever's pretty much gone...
But there's no point in going to the observatory now. We
wouldn't be able to see anything when the sky's overcast.
...
Saki, breakfast's ready. I even made you the hot chocolate
you like. Will you come down?
Tsukasa...
(He took a day off from his part-time job to stay home with
me.)
(That's one more person I've inconvenienced.)
Sorry, I don't feel like eating right now.
No? Well, if you get hungry, come downstairs and I'll fix
you something up anytime.
Okay.
I...miss them so much.
I'm so dumb.
Everyone's here for me, I should be happy...
But I wanted to see the stars so much.
Huh? Was that my phone?
Ah, that's right. If I go over there, I can see the stars.
Hello!
There's nobody here. Maybe they went to the rooftop?
Nobody here either.
Where did everyone go?
I ended up alone again...
Saki?
Oh! L-Luka!
You're wearing PJs today? That's a surprise.
Um, there's a reason for this!
Is it also the reason why you came here on your own?
Haha, well...
It seems you can read me like a book.
You overestimate me. There's much I don't know about you.
I could see that your usual energy was gone, though.
...
Would you like to tell me what's wrong?
So, you see, it's all my fault.
I insisted on going to the observatory together, but then
I was careless and caught a cold as a result, and
ended up just being a bother to everyone...
I have myself to blame for this.
Why did you overexert yourself like that?
As Shiho said, you could go to the observatory some
other time.
That's because...
I've wanted to spend a day out with my friends like that
for a very long time.
Saki hasn't replied to me.
What if she got worse and is staying in bed? Maybe we
shouldn't visit?
We'll just pop in to say hi and leave her to rest.
I think she's feeling very lonely today.
Why do you say that?
Huh?
She was so obsessed with going out today she got herself
sick. I don't get her. Do you?
Maybe.
Something she said a while ago has been nagging at me.
A while ago?
Soon after she was admitted to the hospital. We once
visited her together, remember?
Um, yeah? It was a really long way to that hospital.
Her mom said they put her there because of a famous doctor
specialising in her condition.
I actually went to visit her many more times after that
together with her mom.
I remember one of our conversations...
Whaaat, our teacher has had a baby?! Wow, that's wonderful!
I have to write her a letter with my congratulations! Do
you mind taking it to her?
No problem, I can do that.
Thanks! Now, where did I put my stationery... Here!
...and please take care. There, done!
You know what, I'll write to Hona and Shiho too! Letters
are more personal than texts.
They seem so busy lately. They don't reply to my messages
much.
Um, yeah, they've got a lot going on. Maybe we can all visit
you together soon.
(That's...not very likely, though.)
Teehee... I'll draw cartoon pictures of them, too!
...
Saki? Something wrong?
...
No.
I was just thinking that...when I give you these letters,
you'll go and see everyone.
I wish I could see them, too.
...
Haha, sorry, that sounded pitiful. It's the rain making me
moody.
...don't forget to write back! There, I finished!
Hona might write back, but I wonder if Shiho will bother.
Hehe.
Okay, here are the letters. Thank you!
No problem.
Saki...
Poor Saki...
She must have been much lonelier than we realized at the
time.
So I think she'd be happy if we visited her together now.
