p1
>Valentine's, huh...
>Hah
>Handmade chocolate really is the only way to go, huh.

>My room has a mini kitchen but...
>I've never cooked anything before.

>Hmm...
>I know!

p2
>We can use this store-bought cookies
>and decorate them with icing.

>This way is simple and looks somewhat handmade, right?
>I remember making these with my friends.
>I-I'll give it a shot...

>Ah!

>It gets sticky if you use too much water.
>This is pretty hard.

>Don't worry. We've got plenty left.
>Do your best, Touka-chan!

p3
>It's ready!

>I wonder if she'll like it?

>...We made plans for an evening date but
>I want to give this to Sensei right away.

>Good work today.
>Ah, Aikawa.

p8
>Ah, Tsukisu-sensei's busy so she can't come.

>She said she was invited to the research institute.

>Amazing.
>Isn't that across the street from where we're going?

p9
>Some day, Touka, I'll cure your illness and we'll go on a date during the daytime.
>I'll never give up on you, Touka.

>Sensei's determined to fulfill her promise with me
>even if it means being far apart from me.
