It's great that Shiho was able to find a present for her sister she was happy with.

I'm really glad that we could help her since she put so much thought into it.

Anyway, wanna head over to the next shop...?

Oh, sorry.

If you don't mind, I'd like to use the restroom first.

Okay!

Then, I'll start organizing all our stuff on that bench over there.

Okay, thanks!

(Now then... Where do I begin?)

(Let's see... I can put all the accessories in one of the smaller bags, and for this big one...)

(Alright, that should do it!)

Huh...?

(Has this accessory shop always been here?

It wasn't here the last time I came. Maybe it's new.)

(Sis probably won't be back for a little bit, so I might go take a quick peek♪)

Whoa, this ribbon's so cute!

It's velvet, and in a modest color too, so I bet it'd look great on Sis.

Oh, they have them in different colors!

This one's bright pink! That's totally up my alley!

(Come to think of it, Shiho and Shizuku's brooches are in different colors...)

(And Sis and I used to wear matching ribbons when I was little.)

(I know...

I could make this my present for Sis, and I could get the same one in a different color!)

(There's no telling when we'll get to see each other next, so I should take this opportunity to show my support for her.)

(While I'm at it, I wanna make it a surprise...

I'll go buy them now on the down-low♪)

Let's see, where's the checkout counter...

Alright, the ribbons are all set!

Not bad if I do say so myself.

These pieces are stitched together well, including the lace bit I worked so hard on.

Mizuki, mind if I come in?

Oh... Yeah, come on in!

Thanks!

I've been having trouble getting everything to fit into my suitcase. Can you lend me a hand?

Wait, your flight's tomorrow. You're still packing...? Are you sure you're gonna be okay...?

Hang on... This feels like déjà vu.

Oh...

I asked you the same thing the last time I left.

And you're still terrible at packing your bags.

No no, I got all of my personal belongings to fit. It's all the gifts from our family that won't!

Wait, that sounds like bragging.

To be fair, Mom and Dad did give you a bunch of stuff.

Oh, speaking of gifts...

I have something for you, Sis!

Huh? For me?

Ta-daa!

Here it is, just for you!

Oh wow...! This ribbon's such a beautiful color!

And this lace bit's really nice...

Hehe... I actually put that part on myself!

I did what I could to make sure it'd look good on you, Sis♪

Wait, you made this?!

That's incredible! I never would've guessed!

This lace... I can't get enough of it!

You know me too well, Mizuki!

Heehee. Don't I♪

By the way...

I've got the same one!

I added some frills to mine to make it look more cutesy♪

Remember how Shiho got matching brooches for her and Shizuku at that New Year's sale?

Seeing her do that made me want to get something for you and me, Sis!

Really...?

Thank you so much, Mizuki! I'm so unbelievably happy! I promise to cherish this forever!

Hehe. I'm glad you like it so much!

Hehe. It's the opposite of last time.

What?

Remember that ribbon you gave me before?

That ribbon made it seem like you were always by my side, even during the hardest times.

It did...?

Yeah.

Actually, Sis...

Remember those matching scrunchies you made for everyone in N25? You said it's your way of wishing that we'll be together forever.

I thought these ribbons could be the same thing, but for us.

So that we'll never be apart, no matter where we are!

Mizuki...

*Nod*

Right...

This ribbon...

It'll always remind me that I have your support. It'll help me overcome anything that comes my way!

Um, Sis?

Hm?

Let's both keep doing our best!

Yes, let's!
