- Miyako Hinano Costume Story: Valentine's Costume
- "What Warms You Up Is..."
- Hinano: What's wrong, Ren? You suddenly asked me to meet you like this.
- Ren: Um... yes... t-the truth... well...
- Hinano: Hm?
- Ren: Umm, well... yes...
- Hinano: If you rush it, you'll start throwing in too many words. Just like when I confessed, really.
- Hinano: Take your time.
- Ren: Yes... the truth is...
- Hinano: Mhm.
- Ren: Rika-chan has seemed... depressed...
- Hinano: Rika has?
- Hinano: I see. Maybe because it's a day that reminds her of her ex-girlfriend...
- Hinano: Winter is packed with events, after all...
- Ren: Yes...
- Hinano: (It doesn't matter even if you broke up with them yourself... I know that those feelings don't change...)
- Hinano: (Even if you were indifferent and you're over it, the memories are the only thing that remain without changing...)
- Hinano: (The past isn't something that's able to be changed, at least without magic.)
- *flashback to Hinano with Rika*
- Hinano: I'm not laughing... I'm not laughing...!
- Hinano: Falling in love seriously... worrying seriously...
- Hinano: Who the hell would laugh at you for that...!
- Rika: U-uu...
- Rika: Uwaaaaaah!!
- *back to present*
- Hinano: (The sound of Rika's wailing after her breakup still rings in my ears even now...)
- Ren: So, something... um... a way to make her cheer up...
- Ren: I was wondering if you had an idea... yes...
- Hinano: Hm... I see...
- Hinano: With her personality, something big and showy would probably be better, huh?
- Hinano: Since she's the type of person who beats up on witches to get her anger out...
- Hinano: Or maybe breaking dishes! Or something like that?
- Ren: Rika screaming while breaking dishes...
- Ren: I think I can almost imagine that...
- Hinano: Right?
- Hinano: If we did an experiment, it'd be that kind.
- Hinano: Like shooting burning gasoline out of an air gun, or a frozen liquid nitrogen bazooka.
- Ren: .........yes.
- Ren: I can really imagine that...!
- Hinano: (I feel like those wouldn't work as a way to comfort her, though...)
- Hinano: What do you do when you're feeling down, Ren?
- Ren: Er... I-I'd... worry, draw, write...
- Ren: That's what I'd do... yes...
- Hinano: I see, those aren't really Rika-type things, huh...
- Ren: Yes, that's right...
- *it starts snowing*
- Hinano: --!!
- Hinano: It really does cool off quickly at night, doesn't it...
- Ren: *blows on her hands*
- Ren: My hands have gotten a little cold, too...
- Hinano: (I know... that would...)
- Ren: Since it's cold... we should head back home before we catch a cold, too...
- Ren: I'm sorry... to ask you out here...
- Hinano: But before that, come over beside me for a moment.
- Ren: Er, y-yes...
- *they get close together*
- Hinano: How's that? It's warmer this way isn't it?
- Ren: Yes... it's a little less cold now...
- Hinano: When someone's close to you like this, it warms you up, hm?
- Ren: Ah...
- Hinano: Hm?
- Ren: When I feel down, there are times when I do want to be alone, but...
- Ren: If mother or Rika-chan are there, sometimes it makes me feel better... yes.
- Hinano: So, in other words, this is a time like that, isn't it?
- Hinano: No matter what experiment or science or whatever, it can't take the place of another person.
- Hinano: You don't really have to do anything in particular to be comforting.
- Ren: Yes... I... am going to go over to Rika-chan's.
- Hinano: Okay, be careful.
- Hinano: So this is all taken care of then...
- Hinano: .........
- Hinano: Now that I'm all by myself, it feels just a little bit lonely.
