Okay...
(Thanks to Luka's advice, I should be able to write some lyrics that can do their situation justice...)
(Lyrics that can touch Hanano and her brother's hearts...)
She won't be able to get along with her new family as long as her old one's around... Including me...
In terms of what's best for her future, I feel like she needs to learn to get along with her new family.
Which is why...
Today, I said, “We need to stop meeting like this.”
(They mean the world to each other but can't tell each other how they really feel...)
(This isn't quite what we went through, but...)
(I know how it feels. I know what it's like to not be able to talk to your friends...)
Sh-Shiho...!
I told you not to talk to me, didn't I?
Oh...
Honami! How about we have lunch together...?
S-Sorry...
I kind of want to have lunch alone today...
Alone...?
Did something happen...?
*Gasp*
I'm really sorry... Bye...
H-Honami...!
(I'm not bothered by that as much now since we're back as a band and having so much fun every day..)
(Back then, I kept asking myself, “How would things have turned out if Saki were here?”)
(But Saki was...)
What? Saki caught a cold...?
Yes. Her fever finally broke yesterday, but it seems to have taken a significant physical and mental toll...
Which is why I'm glad she has a friend here to visit. She should be back from her test soon, so I hope you can cheer her up somehow.
Okay...
Ichi, you're early.
Welcome.
Hi, Saki...!
The nurse told me about how you caught a cold.
Haha. Yeah, I kinda did...
One of those that makes your sinuses really stuffy too. I guess I caught it from someone, but I couldn't stop sneezing.
I blew my nose so many times that...
Wait, is it still really red?
No, you're fine.
Really? Thank goodness...
I was worried that everyone was gonna start calling me a red-nosed reindeer.
(Saki just never changes...)
(But I feel like she's pushing herself too hard to keep me from worrying about her...)
Oh, I almost forgot. My mom brought me some snacks when she visited. Wanna have some?
Thanks, Saki...
But I need to head back soon.
(But the nurse said she's tired physically and mentally, so I'd rather she saved her strength.)
Okay. That means I get to have all these snacks to myself! Hehe...
Well, within reason. You still haven't fully recovered yet.
I know♪
Anyway, I'll see you later...
I have to transfer at... Okay, I still have time.
*Sigh*
I wish I could've stayed to chat more with Saki...
...
I guess I can listen to some Miku songs instead...
Yeah, I used to listen to Miku songs a lot whenever I went over to see Saki.
They cover so many genres too.
Just going through them was an easy way to pass the time...
I even remember a few times when I passed my stop and nearly missed my transfer.
But those Miku songs helped keep the sadness I felt at bay...
(If...)
(If we can become their “Miku”...)
No, that sounds too hard...
(But at the very least, I want our song to reach them.)
Alright, time to write!
