Have you all had a chance to exchange your cards?

Yeah, we're all done.

My heart's full of so much joy after receiving all these thoughtful cards.

Mine too. Not only were they fun to make, I got to tell you all things that I couldn't normally.

Hehe. Right.

Thank you for hosting this wonderful event for us, you two!

I'm really glad you guys enjoyed everything♪

Now I can't wait to give Tsukasa and my parents their cards!

Oh, that's right. You made some for your family.

Are you gonna give Shizuku her card later?

Yeah, I was gonna, but...

Wait, does that mean you've changed your mind?!

No, Shih, you have to give it to her!

I mean, you worked so hard on it!

I know, but...

(She's for sure gonna blow it way out of proportion, and I'm sort of getting self-conscious about the whole thing.)

Now I wish I hadn't put her off until last...

Can I come in, Shizuku?

Hi, Shii...!

Yes, please come in.

Hehe. I'm so glad that you decided to come over, Shii! How can I help you?

Umm... This is for you. I wanted to thank you for Valentine's Day.

Oh, what a wonderful card...!

The stickers of these little birds are so adorable! And these leaves around the border are beautiful...

Wait, Shii, did you make this yourself?

Yeah... You embroidered that handkerchief for me for Valentine's Day, so I thought I should also make you something in return.

And I mean, you're always doing things for me, so I figure doing stuff like this isn't so bad, from time to time...

...!

Thank you so much, Shii...!

Whoa...! Sh-Shizuku?!

I wasn't expecting to receive such a lovely card. I'm so happy right now!

O-Okay, I get it...! Let go of me already.

Oh, I'm sorry...

But I promise to cherish this card forever!

It's really nothing that special...

Hehe. But you made this card just for me. That means it's a true one-of-a-kind.

Anyway, can I read what you wrote?

Huh? Sure, I guess...

Thank you! Let's see...

“Dear Shizuku.

Thank you for always keeping me in your thoughts. I know that you lead a really busy life.”

(Wait, she's gonna read the whole thing out loud...?!)

“I really admire how you treat your fans with the utmost respect, and I think it's cool how much you do to exceed their expectations.”

...!

Shii, you really believe...?

Can we please get this over with already?

“But please don't forget to take breaks from time to time, for the sake of your own health. I'll always be rooting for you as you strive to become a great idol.”

(I honestly wasn't expecting her to read my message out loud right in front of me...)

(If I'd known she'd do that, I would have just read it out myself.)

Thank you, Shii.

My heart's full of so much joy now...

The card is lovely by itself, and then you also wrote me such a sweet message...

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better gift.

Okay. I'm glad that you like it so much.

(Telling anyone how I actually feel is still pretty embarrassing for me...)

(But if she's feeling this happy...)

(Then maybe I should do this more in the future.)
