(This is it... I'm giving everyone the candles I made today... I really hope they like them...)
(Wah...!)
Oh no! I'm sorry!
I-It's okay. I'm sorry too.
(Geez, I know I'm nervous, but I really need to watch where I'm going...)
Wait, my candles...!
*Sigh*
Undamaged. Thank goodness...
(Actually, it's probably going to take more than that for them to crack or break... And yet, I can't help but worry...)
Good morning, Ichika!
Oh, Honami! Good morning!
I saw you checking inside your bag just now. Does that have...?
Yeah, they're the candles I made for everyone.
That reminds me.
Thanks to you, Honami, I was able to tie those bows on really nicely... Look!
Oh, they're not in granny knots anymore!
You really surprised me last night when you sent me that message saying, “HELP!” But I'm glad they turned out so well.
I couldn't have done this without you since all I could tie before were those granny knots...
I've placed the candles in plastic bags like Honami said...
And the wrapping varies depending on the receiver, so I'll need to be careful not to mix them up. After that, I just need to tie bows on them...
I think I'll start with Saki's...
Okay, that should... Huh?
No, it's a granny knot...
Let me try that again...
Wait, huh? That's odd... One more time...
Hang on. Why does this keep happening...? No, I just have to start over and...
Okay, that seems... Still no!
I don't remember it being so hard to tie bows nicely.
Am I getting mixed up somewhere...?
Let me try... No, I don't know what I'm doing wrong...!
Hehe. You even sent me that video of you trying to tie those bows.
You had this incredibly serious but worried look on your face. So worried that your brow was getting all wrinkled.
Wait, you saw me...?
I thought I sent you a video of what my hands were doing...
I think your phone fell off its stand towards the beginning...
And there was a split second where you appeared... One second...
Oh, here.
Oh, you're right...
I look so grouchy.
No, I can tell that you were working very hard on your gift.
So, I'm sure Saki, Shiho, Miku and the others are going to love what you made for them.
Honami...
Yeah, thanks...
To be honest, I'm pretty nervous, but I'm also looking forward to seeing how they react to these.
Hehe. Me too.
