Ukiyo : (gives her hot chocolate)
Kaoru :Arigatou.
Ukiyo : (sits beside her) ... Natsukashii ne. [Brings back the memories...]
Kaoru : ... eh?
Ukiyo : Coming here. (chuckles)
Kaoru : ...
Ukiyo : Do you come here often?
Kaoru : ...(shakes her head) This is the first time I came to visit after graduating.
Ukiyo :(surprised) ... sou? ... I guess we're the same then.
Kaoru : (looks at him surprisingly)
Ukiyo : Nothing much has really changed, I guess.
Kaoru : ...(looks far away) I didn't expect you would.
Ukiyo : Huh?
Kaoru : Comeback in this place... you told me you didn't really care much of the past.
Ukiyo :(recalls) ... ah, right... I did say something like that... did I?
Kaoru : So it's a shock to see you here. (chuckles)
Ukiyo : (turns silent)
Kaoru : (takes a sip of the hot choco) ... ah, oishii.
Ukiyo : Warui ne. [Sorry, my bad.]
Kaoru : ?
Ukiyo : Ano toki ga... [That time...]
Kaoru : Eh,nani?
Ukiyo : ... ano toki hanashite kurete... uso da. [What I said to you that time...was a lie.]
Kaoru : (eyes widened) E-eh?
Ukiyo : (feels bad) I didn't have a choice...
Kaoru : Dou iu koto?
Ukiyo : That time... when you... (hesitates)... when you admitted about your feelings... I was sure you'd start feeling awkward towards me... I was worried you might quit your job too because of what happened...so... I told you those things.
Kaoru : (out of words)
Ukiyo : It's not that I don't care about the past... I just don't want you to stay away again... so I lied. Gomen.
Kaoru : ...
Ukiyo : (feels an odd atmosphere coming up) ... (thinks fast) Anou sa.
Kaoru : ?
Ukiyo : Coming here... somehow gives a refreshing feeling. Don't you think so?
Kaoru : ...(smiles and nods)
Ukiyo : (looks at the sky, feeling lighthearted)
Kaoru : Arigatou ne.
Ukiyo :(wonders)
Kaoru : For everything that you've done for me. During college days... even until now.
Ukiyo : (feels embarrassed) Why are you suddenly thanking me... it's nothing really.
Kaoru : I've always wanted to tell you that...
Ukiyo : ...
Kaoru : I couldn't tell you that time... when we came up here for the last time... on graduation day. Remember?
Ukiyo :(recalls)
Kaoru : For the time I spent here in Aikawa... probably wouldn't be as fun if I hadn't met you.
