Ren: There’s only one week left until Christmas Day...
Ren: This year, all of the Magical Girls,  like Rika, Emiri, and Akira,  are planning to have a big party on that day.
Ren: And on Christmas Eve...
Ren: I promised Rika that we would hang out together.
Ren: I've asked her out occasionally in the past,  but her schedule didn't always work out.  So I was a little nervous this time...  but when I asked her,  she immediately said yes.
Ren: The two of us dropped by the bookstore  to decide where we should hang out,  but...
Ren: “The Fifty Best Places To Go For Christmas..."
Rika: "Where to Go!: The Kamihama Christmas Definitive Edition..."
Ren: “The Foolproof Christmas Plan..."
Ren: Hmm...
Rika: There are so many Christmas specials in just these magazines!
Ren: You're right...
Ren: Hmm...  Which one...should we grab...?
Rika: I figure we should get the one that  looks the easiest to follow along with.
Rika: Like... How about this one?  It's got lots of pictures.
Ren: Ah, I think...that'd be good...
Ren: (This magazine...includes a candle feature...)
Ren: (I see... This museum... It's having an exhibit on candles...)
Ren: It’s so beautiful...
Ren: (How is this color...made...?)
Rika: Ooh, here’s the article about all the candle stuff!
Rika: Haven't you mentioned before that you like  these sorts of things, Ren?
Ren: Oh... You remembered...
Rika: Of course I did!
Rika: Why don't we go visit that museum on Christmas  Eve?
Ren: Eh, I still...want to...consider our options...
Rika: I see...
Rika: Ren, we can go wherever you want, okay?
Ren: Thank you...
Ren: ............
Ren: (I want to buy and read...all of the magazines with  Christmas features...but...)
Ren: (That means I'd spend...all of my allowance...)
Ren: ...I'll just buy this magazine.
Ren: Then I think I'll...stop by the library...  I want to do some more research...
Rika: Then I’ll tag along!
Ren: No...  It may take a while...
Rika: Oh, really?
Ren: Ah, erm... it's not that I don't want you to come  with me, it's just...!
Rika: No worries, I totally get it.
Ren: Um...
Rika: All right, I’ll see you on Christmas Eve, then!
Ren: Oh...  You’re right...!
Rika: Just gimme a heads up once you’ve picked out  a place, okay?
Ren: Yeah...  I’ll be in touch...!
Rika: See ya later!
Ren: Yeah, goodbye...
Ren: ............
Ren: ............
Ren: Ugh... This is hard...
Ren: (Rika is so kind...)
Ren: (She said...we can go wherever I want to go...  But...)
Ren: (I want to go...to a place that will make her happy...  A place that shines like her...)
Ren: ...A place that shines...
Ren: Maybe that would be...somewhere trendy...?
Ren: ............
Ren: ............
Ren: Hm...
Ren: (A place that shines...with Rika...)
Ren: (Would I...belong there...with her...?)
Ren: (...I don't know...  I can’t really... imagine that...)
Ren: ............
Ren: (We still have...a little more time...)
Ren: (I'd like to speak with...someone who knows more about these things...)
Ren: Tomorrow...  I'll go to Emiri's Counseling Room...

Ren: H-hello...
Akira: Ah, it’s Ren!  Hello!
Ria: Emily is out.  I don’t think Rika is with her, either.
Ren: Oh... erm...  I’m not looking for Rika...
Ren: I wanted to ask for... To ask Emiri for some advice...
Akira: You only want Emily? That's unusual for you.
Ria: I can listen to you in Emily’s stead, if you'd like.
Akira: Eh... can you do that?
Ria: But of course.  I've had to hold the fort here several times.
Akira: Well, I mean, there's lots of times I've had to  keep an eye on the place too, but...
Akira: Have you actually been asked for advice?
Ria: No.
Akira: That was blunt.
Ria: Don’t fret!
Ria: I'm a supermodel! I have much more life experience than most people!
Ria: Well then, Ren!
Ria: As far as I'm aware, this is the first time anyone's  come to a supermodel to consult on a problem.
Ria: Be honored knowing I'll listen to whatever you  have to say.
Ren: Ah... Sure...
Akira: You don't have to ask her for help, Ren.
Akira: Why don't we just hang out until Emily arrives?
Ria: Excuse me?!
Ren: Um... Emiri isn't...the only one... whose opinion I need...
Ren: I'd like to ask for...both of yours as well... yeah...
Akira: Eh? Are you cool with that?
Ren: Yes... Well... I want to go somewhere...
Ren: A place that would make someone smile on  Christmas Eve...
Ria: What?!  What exactly are you planning?!
Akira: So that's what you wanted advice on.
Ren: Uh...um...there are so many...  There are many places I'd like to visit...
Ren: But I can't imagine... what it would be like...  to actually...go...
Ren: In the end...I just can't decide...
Akira: Ah, so you wanted Emily's opinion?
Ren: Yeah...
Akira: I don't think I have anything helpful to say...
Akira: The same goes for you, right, Ria?
Ria: Y-you do realize I'm an expert when it comes to  these things, right?!
Ria: I can show you all the places one could ever dream  of visiting on Christma—
Akira: Oh, hey, have you checked out this magazine?
Ria: Are you ignoring my brilliance?!
Akira: This is what Emily and Rika were reading earlier.
Akira: It's supposed to be a special Christmas issue.  So you might find it helpful.
Ren: Oh... Thank you...  Thank you so much... yeah...
Ren: (...Ah, these sticky notes in the pages...  These are the type that Rika uses...)
Ren: (This sticky note is for... "The Candlelit Night Special..." Huh...)
Akira: I've heard there's all sorts of stuff going on.
Akira: Things like illuminations and other kinds of events.
Ren: Ah, yes...!
Ren: (Illuminations are...so shining and...beautiful...)
Ren: (An event like that...would definitely suit Rika...)
Ria: Don't be so presumptuous, Ren Isuzu.
Ren: Eh...?
Ria: This magazine certainly features many places that  are in vogue.
Ria: However! You need to discern for yourself which  one of these things...
Ria: Is going to be the best for the both of you.
Ren: S-sure...?
Akira: Please don’t suggest something inappropriate.
Ria: Th-that's not what I was going to do!
Ria: Simply put, there are places that look photogenic,  but may actually be disappointing in person.
Akira: Well, you do have a point...
Ria: I’m usually quite busy, but as it so happens,  my schedule is free right now.
Ria: That means I could guide you around the city...  So what do you say?
Ren: Eh... erm...   P-please do... Yeah...
Akira: Seriously?!
Akira: Look, this is kind of worrying.  Why don't I tag along?
Ria: Aren't you supposed to be watching the office?
Akira: Ehh?  Well, yeah, but...
Akira: Look, Ren, if you feel uncomfortable...  You don't have to force yourself to go.
Ren: Well... I don't feel...uncomfortable... about this... Yeah...
Ren: I’m actually very grateful...  Please take care of me...
Ria: Yes, yes, you'll be in good hands.

Ria: Our first stop will be the site of a  Christmas illumination show.
Ria: It's not so bad during the daytime, but at night...  This area will be packed.
Ren: Ah... That makes sense...
Ria: Well, if you'd like to take your time while  you see the lights...
Ria: I'd consider making a reservation at one of the  restaurants on Main Street.
Ren: Um... But a...restaurant reservation might be...
Ria: Ah, right, it's a bit too much for middle schoolers.
Ren: Mm... Yeah.
Ria: Let's see...  What other places were you considering?
Ren: Ah...  It was...the amusement park, but...
Ren: It’s just because I heard... That the night parade is beautiful... Yeah.
Ria: Ooh, yes, it's gorgeous!  I think that's worth looking into as well.
*Chatter* *Chatter*
Ren: *Sigh*
Ria: Are you feeling okay, Ren?
Ren: Ah... I'm sorry...  There's just so many people...
Ria: That's quite all right.  Let's go over there to get some rest.
Ren: Yes...
Ria: I was completely unaware that today was free admission day at Minagi Sea.
Ren: I'm not... very good with crowded places like this...
Ria: I see...  What a shame.
Ria: The cafe here is illuminated at night.
Ria: I must say there are many lovers who recommend  this place as an excellent proposal spot.
Ren: Y-you mean...  This is a really... significant place?
Ren: Something like that... It's too early for me... Yeah...
Ria: Ah, but it’s never too early to think of these  sorts of things, you know?
Ren: U-um...
Ria: What’s wrong?
Ren: I'd also like to visit a place... that you...  would personally... recommend...yeah...
Ria: That I would personally recommend...  Hm, very well! Follow me!
Ren: Yes...
Ria: So... when exactly did you realize you liked the  person you're going out with?
Ren: Eh...?
Ren: Wh-when I... liked them...
Ren: It was...from the first moment we met...  I have nothing but... gratitude for them...
Ren: They know...exactly what I'm thinking...
Ren: And I never even have to...say a single word...
Ren: They always...take the lead...
Ria: Oh, I see...
Ria: Sounds like someone who's pretty grown-up  and put together.
Ren: Yes...they really pay attention to...the people  around them. I think...it's really amazing... Yeah...
Ria: I swear! That's one fine catch you've landed!
Ria: It seems I mustn't underestimate you either!
Ren: Is that...so?
Ria: Here we are!
Ren: Umm... Is this...?
Ria: This is the perfect place to view the Minagi Harbor  at night.
Ria: It’s incredibly beautiful and romantic!
Ria: Especially with all the Christmas lights  and decorations shimmering on the water.
Ren: I see...
Ren: Have you come here... With someone you cherish, Ria?
Ria: Huh?
Ren: Well... I mean... Like a significant other, maybe?
Ren: I assumed you knew so much about these things...  Because you go to these places with them...
Ria: Ah... Y-You’re exactly right!  I've been here with my boyfriend!
Ria: H-He checks out trendy places like these for me  all the time.
Ren: I see...
Ren: Your boyfriend must be...very kind...  Yeah.
Ria: No, well, yes, but...  Well that’s enough about me!
Ria: This is another one of the places he looked into.  What do you think?
Ren: Is this...a flyer...?
Ria: It’s a flyer for the Minagi Aquarium.
Ria: They're hosting a special event called  "Night at the Aquarium."
Ren: Night at the Aquarium...?
Ren: I wonder... What kind of event it is...
Ria: It's about what the aquarium looks like at night.
Ren: At night...?
Ria: Indeed. It seems like they keep the facility dark,  but illuminate the tanks with special lighting.
Ria: It creates a romantic space...  And a very mystical atmosphere.
Ria: It's being described by the media as the latest  holiday trend.
Ren: The latest trend...
Ren: (What would...all those lights illuminating  the aquarium... look like...?)
Ren: (I’d like to see them...)
Ren: (And if it’s trendy...and shining...  Rika will...)
Ria: Alright, one more place to go!
Ren: Eh?!  Ah, sure.
Manaka: ...So why exactly did you save our restaurant  for last?
Ria: Because a date should always end at a restaurant!
Ren: A date...?!
Ria: Is something the matter, Ren?
Ren: Um... The one I'm going out on Christmas Eve  with...is Rika...
Ria: R-Rika Ayano?!
Ria: You mean this isn't a date with your boyfriend?!  You certainly didn't mention that!
Manaka: I think it’s more that you misunderstood what  was going on and jumped to conclusions.
Ria: Jeez!
Ren: Oh... Th-that's not...
Manaka: Good grief...
Manaka: It must be fun to fly off into your own little world.

FILENAME: text_335011-4.txt
Ria: We’re back!
Akira: Oh! Welcome back, Ren!
Ren: We've returned... Yeah...
Akira: Did everything turn out okay...?
Ren: Um...
Ria: How could anyone be unsatisfied with my advice?
Emiri: Wow! Ria’s being, like, seriously full of herself!
Ria: Th-that's not a compliment!
Emiri: Anyways! What was Ria’s tour like, Renki?!
Ren: Well... um...
Ren: She showed me... so many things...  It was... really educational...
Ren: How can I show you... how grateful I am?
Ria: You've expressed your gratitude quite admirably.  Think nothing further of it.
Ria: As long as you both can spend Christmas Eve  full of cheer...
Ria: I will require nothing more.
Akira: That...doesn't sound like you at all.
Emiri: Ooh, you've got that "Can't help but look after the  li'l chilluns" vibe!
Ria: Are you calling me an old hag?!
Emiri: *Giggle*
Akira: Umm...
Akira: Have you figured out where you'll go on Christmas  Eve, Ren?
Ren: Ah... Yes, I have.
Ren: We'll be going to...  The Night at the Aquarium event...
Ren: Ria... Told me about... Yes!
Ren: (In that space... Where the lights shine in the  darkness among those tanks...)
Ren: (I think that place, more than any other...)
Ren: (Is where I can imagine us together...)
Ren: Rika... I really hope...that you'll be happy...
Ren: All of the preparations are finished now...  I think...?

FILENAME: text_335012-1.txt
Rika: Tomorrow is finally gonna be Christmas Eve!
Rika: I got all my gifts ready to exchange with Ren tomorrow  and with everyone else at the party on Christmas.  All I have to do now is wait for the big day!
Rika: So for today, on Christmas Eve Eve,  I've been hanging out at a mixer  with some friends.
Rika: Since I'm busy Christmas Eve and Day,  I'm just here to help  the other girls because they’re like,  "I wanna have a boyfriend in time for Christmas!"
Rika: Although they just wanted me for even numbers,  I wanted to liven up the party,  so I tried my best to engage everyone in the fun...
Rika: All right, so where's everyone planning to go for Christmas?
Uh, I guess I’ll head to the amusement park!
I’d like to go see the Christmas light shows.
I'd... like to hang out with you guys wherever you  end up going.
Rika: Aww, you’re so sweet!
What about you, Rika?
Rika: Hm? Oh, I'm going to the aquarium!
The aquarium? On Christmas?
Rika: My friend found out that there's a special  event going on right now.
Rika: This super cool thing called "Night at the  Aquarium"!
Oh yeah, that’s right!
Why don’t we go there together for Christmas?
Rika: Ooh, sorry, but no can do, mister.
Man... that was ice cold...
Rika: *Giggle* Like I said, sorry!
Rika: But I promised my friend that we'd go together.
Rika: The offer was super thoughtful, though!
So that’s what’s up...
Rika: (Ren did all of that research for me...)
Rika: (I just know it'll be a totally awesome event!)
Rika: (Yeah, I can't wait for tomorrow...)
Well, I gotta use the restroom.
Ah, same!
I’ll be joining you guys...
............
*Sigh* Those guys are all over you, aren't they?
Seriously, it's so unfair...
I totally agree...
Rika: What's this all about?
Rika: If you wanna get their attention, you have to be  more appealing to them.
That's easy for you to say.
Not all of us are charismatic like you, Rika.
I can't figure out how to say something that stands out...
I was such an idiot for thinking I could get a  boyfriend for Christmas...
Rika: ...Are you kidding me?
Eh?
Rika: You shouldn't want a boyfriend just because you  don’t wanna spend Christmas alone.
Rika: Isn't that being kind of rude?
Hah? Then why did you even bother helping us?!
Rika: That wasn't what I meant to help you with.
Rika: I thought you guys wanted to find someone you  liked...
Rika: Who you happend to spend Christmas with...
Rika: But if you're just trying to use someone for a day  or two so you won't feel lonely...
Rika: Isn't that like super insensitive to the person  you're dating?
Yeah, but...
Rika: Seriously, think about it.
Rika: If these guys only wanted you for the exact same reason...
Rika: Wouldn't you be upset that’s all they thought you  were good for?
I...guess so...
Rika: You understand, right?
Rika: If all you're gonna do is get swept up in the people around you...
Rika: Then you're gonna lose sight of the things that  actually matter.
............
I get what you're saying, Rika...
Rika: Then there's no problem! I've got plenty  more to chat with you two about!
Rika: For starters, let's get to know each other better,  and try to find stuff we can all enjoy together!

FILENAME: text_335012-2.txt
Oh man, it's chilly out here!
I've got a heating pack if you wanna use it?
Ooh, thank you! You're so thoughtful!
Well, shucks...
Hey, you guys want to go bowling next?
Eh? Doesn't it get crowded right around now?
Well, just cause it’s crowded doesn’t mean we can’t play. Or we can do karaoke instead.
The point is... I want to keep talking with you.
Rika: C’mon, let’s do it!  We’re all friends now!
Well, that’s true.
I guess we might as well go!
Rika: ............ *Giggle*
Rika: (It was worth double-checking on them back  there!)
Ren’s Voice: Ah... I’m sorry...
Rika: ...Huh?
Ren: *Pant* *Pant*
Rika: Oh, heeeey! Reeeen!
Ren: *Gasp*  Oh, Rika...!
Ren: Ah...!
Rika: Eh... Ren...?
Rika: (This can't be... it's not possible... but...)
Rika: (It feels like... she was trying to run away from something...)
Rika? What's up?
Who was it you were just shouting after?  Was it someone you know?
Rika: Yeah...
Rika: ............
Rika: ...Aaaaah, I'm sorry, guys! I just realized I have some errands I need to run!
Rika: I gotta take off now! You guys should go out and  have fun!
Eh, but, Rika...
...Yeah, alright! We'll take care of the rest!
Rika: Mm-hmm, good luck!
Rika: Bye-bye!

FILENAME: text_335012-3.txt
Rika: *Huff* *Puff*
Rika: I could have sworn she went this way...  Where is she...?
Rika: Hmm...
Rika: (Ren... was acting kinda weird...)
Rika: (I hope she's not in trouble or anything...)
Rika: (...I'm gonna send her a message.)
Rika: Huh?!
Aimi: *Weeze* *Gasp*
Aimi: I won't... I won't... let you get away with this!
Ren: Ah... W-wait...!
Rika: There!  There she is!
Rika: *Pant* *Pant*
Rika: Aaaaahhh, I can't do this!  You're way too fast, Ren!
Rika: Okay, let me try this...
Rika: ............
Rika: I sense a Magical Girl... No, wait, two...?
Rika: (One of them is Ren...  I don't recognize the other one...)
Rika: (Are they both chasing a Witch or something...?!)
Rika: Alright, gotta follow their magic!
Rika: ............
Rika: ...This way!
Rika: *Pant* *Weeze*
Rika: (I sensed both of them right around here...)
Rika: ...Oh!
Rika: Hey, Re-
Aimi’s Voice: I’m soooo relieved... She was just his cousiiiin...!
Rika: ...Huh?

FILENAME: text_335012-4.txt
Rika: The story turned out to be pretty simple  once Ren and her friend explained it to me.
Rika: Ren and Aimi bumped into each other  while they were out shopping.  While they were chatting, a guy and a girl passed by.  The guy was the one Aimi was crushing on,  but she didn't recognize the girl with him.
Rika: Aimi panicked because she thought they were  both in a relationship and tried following them around.  Ren was concerned about leaving her alone,  so she went after her.
Rika: In the end,  once Aimi talked with the guy face-to-face  and found out the girl was actually his cousin,  she was super relieved,  and ran over to the park to cry it out...
Rika: Well...  That’s a huge relief.
Rika: I was worried that you were in danger or  something like that!
Ren: D... danger...?
Rika: Yeah.
Rika: Cause it looked like you were running for your life...
Ren: Ah... that's...
Rika: I was so worried that something bad had happened  to you.
Ren: I-I'm sorry... for bothering you...
Rika: You didn’t bother me in any way! I just really  wanted to know what happened.
Ren: ...Thank you, Rika.
Rika: Mm-hmm.
Rika: Anyway, how’d your shopping go?
Rika: I’ll join you if you haven’t finished already.
Ren: Ah...
Ren: I-I-I... I was able to get... everything...
Rika: Really?
Rika: ...Oh, what’s that for?
Ren: This is...something...else...
Ren: Ah... I mean... they're the same, but...
Rika: Hm...? Ren...?
Rika: ...Oh.
Rika: (Oh no... I forgot...)
Rika: (It's only two days until Christmas...)
Rika: (Duh! What else would she be buying today?!)
Rika: Ohhh... well, it's a good thing you've finished  shopping!
Ren: Ah... um... yeah... Yeah!
Rika: Anyway, are you feeling better, Aimi?
Rika: It's starting to get cold.  Why don't we head home?
Aimi: You have a point...
Aimi: Sorry, Ren... for making you come after me...
Ren: It’s... it’s okay...
Ren: I'm glad... you resolved... that misunderstanding...  Yes.
Aimi: Thank you!
Rika: A-Achoo!
Ren: Rika...? Are you alright?
Rika: Ah, yeah, I’m definitely okay!
Rika: I’m just a little chilly, probably because I've been  running around and sweating all day!
Ren: Er... uh...
Rika: I'll be a-okay once I get home and have a nice  hot bath!
Rika: C’mon, we’re gonna hang out tomorrow,  so why don’t we call it a day?
Ren: Ah... yeah...!
Rika: Thank goodness... I was so worried that something  bad had happened to Ren.

Ren: It's finally... Christmas Eve...  The day I promised I would spend with Rika...
Ren: I've been looking forward to it, but I'm nervous.  Will I be able to show Rika around? Will she enjoy it?  I've been mulling over those sorts of questions...
Ren: ...It's...a little cold...
Ren: (Just ten minutes left...  Until we’re supposed to meet...)
Ren: (Rika always...arrives on time...)
Ren: ............
Ren: (I hope we can spend...more time together today...)
Ren: ............
Ren: ............
Ren: (It’s been...fifteen minutes...since we were  supposed to meet...)
Ren: (Rika... What’s going on...?)
Ren: (What...happened to you...?)
Ren: (Maybe... I'll try sending a message...)
Ren: (But she could be coming at any moment...)
Ren: ............
Ren: ............
*Ring Ring♪*
Ren: *Gasp*
Ren: Rika...
Rika: I'm sorry, Ren...  I'm pretty sure I must’ve had a fever...  I just woke up. I'm getting ready right now...  So please hang tight for just a little bit longer.
Ren: A fever...?!
Ren: Ah...
Rika: A-Achoo!
Ren: Rika...? Are you alright?
Rika: Ah, yeah, I’m definitely okay!
Rika: I’m just a little chilly, probably because I've been  running around and sweating all day!
Ren: Yesterday...  This was all...my...fault...
Ren: (Rika... You didn’t do...anything wrong...at all...)
Ren: (I'm...so sorry...)
Ren: (I have to...respond to...her text...)
Ren: It's okay, Rika.  Please get lots of rest today.  I hope you feel better soon.
Ren: ............
Ren: (If I send this, then our plans will be...)
Ren: ............
Ren: ............
???’s Voice: ...Ren?
Ren: Huh?!

FILENAME: text_335013-2.txt
???’s Voice: ...Ren?
Ren: Huh?!
Ren: A... Aimi...
Aimi: I just happened to see you, and figured I’d say hey!
Aimi: I’m really sorry about what happened yesterday...
Aimi: I’ll wash your handkerchief and give it back to you  next time we meet up.
Ren: Ah... Sure...
Ren: ............
Aimi: What’s wrong, Ren?
Aimi: You’re crying...
Aimi: Did you miss the chance to give her your present?  Or did you guys get into a fight...?
Ren: It’s not...that...
Ren: Umm............
Ren: (I can’t...find the words...)
Aimi: ...Take all the time you need.
Aimi: Oh, and if you’d rather I didn’t butt in...  That's fine, too!
Ren: Uh... Um...
Aimi: ...Ren, are you in a hurry? If not, we should head  inside somewhere and get comfy.
Aimi: Let's find somewhere quiet and warm.
Ren: Ah... I’m really sorry about this...
Aimi: I understand what happened now...
Aimi: I knew Rika wasn't looking good while we were on  our way home.
Aimi: Aaaaah... I'm really sorry...  This is all my fault!
Ren: N-no... it’s not your fault... Aimi...
Aimi: No, I really am sorry.
Ren: (It’s not Aimi’s fault at all...)
Ren: (Yesterday...  I had my present ready to give to Rika...)
Ren: (When I saw her, though...  I...got so... nervous...)
Ren: (I should have been more confident...)
Aimi: I gotta make it up to you two sometime...
Aimi: I can buy you some candy or something!
Aimi: Anyway, I got in touch with Rika today and told her  to take it easy.
Ren: Ah...
Ren: Rika... sent me a text... saying she was going to...  get ready to go...
Aimi: Huh? Really?!
Ren: But... I want Rika...to rest...
Aimi: I know, right?  Have you already responded to her?
Ren: Um... well...
Ren: ............
Aimi: Ren...?
Ren: Hmm... th-the... text...  I haven't...sent it yet...you see...
Ren: (There’s some part of me that’s thinking...)
Ren: ("Maybe we can still spend some time together...")
Ren: (But I know...that Rika...is sick...)
Ren: (I'm so selfish... I don't want her to come...  And yet, I can't...)
Aimi: ............
Aimi: Then why don’t you pop over there and see  how she's doing for a bit?
Ren: Huh...?
Aimi: You’d rather see her face to face, right?
Ren: But... I think...that would be...bothering her...
Aimi: I don’t think she'd mind at all.
Aimi: So let’s go shopping and bring her some gifts!
Aimi: And since this is at least partly my fault, I'll help  buy the stuff!
Ren: Ah...
Aimi: C’mon, let’s go!
Ren: Oh...!
Aimi: Alright, you got the sports drink?
Ren: Yes...
Aimi: And the jello? The pudding?  And don’t forget that little bit of chocolate!
Ren: I got all of that...
Aimi: You’ve still got your Christmas present?
Ren: I-I do... Yes!
Aimi: Great! Then just go for it!
Ren: ............I will.
Aimi: Good luck!

Rika: I sent Ren the text and changed my clothes, but...  then my headache got so bad  that I couldn't even move.
Rika: Ren texted me to say I should  stay in bed and rest a lot...
Rika: *Sigh* I was so looking forward to this...
Rika: ............
Rika: (Ren... I’m sorry for letting you down...)
Rika: (I’m really sorry...)
*Thump*
???’s Voice: Ah...
Rika: Hm...?
*Knock* *Knock*
Rika: Ah... Ren?!
―Ren― G-good evening...
―Rika― Ren?!  What are you doing here?!
―Ren― Ah, um...  I’m sorry...for the sudden...
―Rika― I don't mind that at all!
―Rika― More importantly... Why'd you come all the way out here...?
―Ren― You weren’t feeling well...  It'd be wrong, if I asked you to come out...
―Ren― But I wanted... to see you... for just a little bit...
―Rika― ...Thank you so much, Ren!
―Rika― But I don’t want you to get sick, either.
―Ren― Ah, um, erm...
―Ren― I don't...really catch colds...  I feel fine anyways, so...
―Ren― So... If it's not too much trouble...  I hope we can talk...for a little bit...
―Rika― ...Of course!
―Rika― I’m really sorry about the messy room,  but... come on in!
―Ren― I... I’m sorry for disturbing you...
Ren: Rika... Do you feel... any better...?
Rika: Yeah, I feel fit as a fiddle!
Rika: I’m really sorry for breaking our promise to spend  the day together.
Ren: Umm... it’s not...a problem...at all...!
Ren: You got sick... because of... me...
Rika: It’s not your fault, though!  I was just being reckless.
Ren: But...
Rika: ...Oh, yeah! We need to hurry over to the aquarium!
Rika: It’s not too late for us to go over there, right?
Ren: ...um.
Ren: We...  We're not going to.
Ren: Rika, today...  You’re going to get some good rest...
Ren: Tomorrow... I want to... see you with everyone  else at the party, so...
Rika: But I promised...
Ren: Don’t worry about that...  Can we take a break today...?
Rika: But that’s...   ...Nngh............
Ren: ...Ah!  Are you okay...?!
Rika: S-sorry...  I got kinda light-headed there...
Ren: Please don’t...push yourself...
Rika: ...Okay.
Ren: Yeah...
Ren: You know...we can’t...go out, but...
Ren: Can I give you...my present...anyways?
Rika: Would that be okay?
Ren: Yeah...
Ren: It's okay, here you go...
Rika: Wow... Thanks, Ren...!
Ren: ...Um...
Ren: Thank you so much for everything, Rika...
Ren: Merry Christmas...!

Rika: Hey, Ren, can I open it right now?
Ren: Yeah... it’s fine...
*Crinkle* *Crinkle*
Rika: Scented candles?!   This was exactly what I wanted!
Ren: Well... I saw the magazine...  The one at the counseling center...and...
Ren: I saw your...sticky notes...in it...
Rika: You checked that out...
Rika: Thank you!
Ren: You’re welcome...
Rika: Hey, can I give you your present, too?
Ren: Yeah...
Rika: Thanks for being such a great friend.
Rika: Merry Christmas!
Ren: Yeah...! Thanks...
Rika: Will you open it?
Ren: Yeah...
Ren: ............  A candle holder...!
Ren: It’s beautiful...   But... why...?
Rika: I... I got interested in candles...
Rika: Because of you, Ren.
Ren: Me...?
Rika: Yeah.
Rika: Ever since you told me about how much you loved them,
Rika: I’ve been researching them and I got into them, too.
Ren: Oh... I see...
Ren: (Rika is...)
Rika: Oh, by the way that, that holder...
Rika: Turns out it was part of a “buy one get one free” bargain if I got one in the same pattern.
Ren: Ah...
Rika: I was thinking about using this holder for myself.
Rika: That means we’ll be matching, yeah?
Ren: Mm...! That’s...a really good...idea...!
Ren: I’d like to use...one that matches yours...!
Rika: Really? Thanks, Ren!
Ren: No...
Ren: ...I should be thanking you, Rika...  I’ll take good care of this...
Rika: Mm-hmm, you’re welcome!
Ren: (I haven’t had something that matched with my friends... for a long time...)
Ren: *Giggle*
Rika: Do you like it?
Ren: Um... of course.
Rika: Thank goodness!
Ren: (It would be nice if we could go looking for candles together...)
Ren: (And get a wide variety...of matching ones...)
Rika: Hey, you mind if I light one?
Ren: Ah... Go ahead!
Ren: ―Ren― Wow...!
Rika: ―Rika― Beautiful!
Rika: ―Rika― It has such a nice blend of sweet and tart scents...
Rika: ―Rika― What type of candle is this?
Ren: ―Ren― Eh... It said... "Fresh Berries"...
Rika: I have to take a pic!
Ren: Ah... me too...
Ren: *Gasp*   It's already so late...
Ren: I need to...call my mom...
Rika: I’m sorry for keeping you here...
Ren: No... I've stayed too long...
Ren: Have a good night... And get lots of rest.
Rika: Yeah, will do.
Rika: I'm gonna get better soon!  And once I am, let's go to the aquarium together!
Ren: Yeah... I’m looking...forward to it.
Ren: I'm glad I got to spend time with Rika...
