Oh, Rin, there you are!
Hey, it's Sakki!
Is it just you today?
Nope! Actually, I came early because there's something I want to show you♪
Ta-daa!
Wow! A headband with a big ribbon on top! It's super cute!
And it's...!
Heh heh heh.
I searched around for one that looks just like yours!
I knew it!
Hehe, we're gonna be matching! Hey, c'mon, hurry up and try it on!
Okay! But first...
What are you doing, Saki?
We could hear your excitement from out in the hallway.
Oh, you're all here! Perfect timing!
Look! Look! This headband matches Rin's!
You're right...! It looks just like it.
Yeah, it's very cute. I'm sure it'll look good on you.
Hehehe, don't you think so?
And what's more, it's not just this headband...
I have enough for everyone to wear!
What...?
You do?!
Um, when you say “everyone”...
Of course, that includes you and KAITO♪
What...?
It'll be wonderful to all be matching. But what brought this on all of a sudden?
The reason...is to complete this!
Oh, that's...your list of things you want to do?
You made it in the hospital and wrote down stuff you wanted to do once you got better, right?
Right! And when I counted how many things were left to do the other day, I realized I could accomplish them all pretty soon.
Wait, really?
But there were a hundred things on the list, right?
Hehe, some of them were things like “Study in the same classroom as everyone”, so I'd finished a bunch before I knew it!
But there are still some I haven't finished, so I figured I should just get them all done!
I see.
So, these headbands are part of that then.
That's right!
Though, the official list item is “Match outfits with someone”!
Oh, also...
Making a photo album is another one of the things I haven't finished yet!
A photo album?
Yeah!
A third-year who used to be in my soft tennis club was saying the other day that if you have a photo album, you can make your memories last and remember them anytime.
And that made me want to make an album like that too...
So, as I'm doing all the other things on my list and making memories, I'm gonna take lots of pictures. And at the end of it all, I'm gonna put them all into an album!
I see... That sounds just like something you'd want to do, Saki.
Still, it's been a while since I last heard you talk about that notebook.
Hehe... My head's been totally focused on all our band stuff lately...
But I kept thinking that I wanted to see it through someday.
Because this notebook really means a lot to me.
Of course... It was clearly important to you from the way you looked after it while you were in the hospital.
Yeah...!
Tsukasa suggested that I make this list when I was feeling lonely in the hospital.
He said, “You're definitely going to get better, Saki. So, how about writing down the things you want to do once you're healthy? That'll be sure to get you excited!”
Hehe. That sounds like him.
Hehe♪ So, at first I wondered if that would actually help, but when I started writing, I really did start to feel excited...
Thanks to that, I got to the point where I could go for tests and stuff with a positive attitude, and tell myself I was definitely gonna get better!
So that's how it started...
This notebook truly does mean a lot to you...
Hey, Saki, about your list... Do you think we can help with it?
Huh?
Right. You said there's not much left on it, didn't you? In that case, we'll come along for the ride until you finish it.
Yes. Let's accomplish the rest of the things on your list together, and take lots of pictures for your album too.
You guys...
Thank you!
Then, can we take a picture with these matching headbands? Here, Shiho, this one's for you!
Huh...?
Do I have to wear one too...?
Of course you do!
If we don't all wear them together, we won't be matching anymore!
Um... I did say I'd be along for the ride, but this is...kind of embarrassing...
Hehe, don't worry. I'm sure it'll look good on you.
She's right!
Shiho, pleeease!
Um, but...
Shiho...!
*Sigh*
Just this once, got it?
Yay! Shiho, I love you!
Wha—
Hey, I'm putting it on, so don't cling on to me...!
