>Snow...
>That would explain the cold...

Maki-chan? You awake already?

p5
It's really piled up. It seems like both the trains and the buses have stopped.
>Really now?

>So we've got a day off school.
>I see.

>Hey,
>Maki-chan?
>What is it?

>It must be lonely, right?
>Not meeting up with your friends.

p6
>I-It's not like I'm lonely or anything!
>or so I said.

>But I guess not being able to see that face that shines like the sun makes me a little bit lonely.

p7
>Like hell it would!
>She's right.
>They are closed.
>I don't feel lonely at all!

>The reason I can't calm down
>is because of that weird stuff Mom said!

>Still
>even though
>I see that face every day
>the feeling of wanting to see it keeps piling up.

p8
>Be it gentle times or rough times

>Everyone would get together at the usual place.

>No matter what, we'd always be together

>looking towards the light

p9
>and running forwards together.

>I guess... I am kinda lonely...

>Honoka...

>Eh? What is it? You call for me?

p10
>Here I am!

>Ueeeeeeeee!?

>Man, sure is a lot of snow out there!
>When did you get here!? And more importantly, why!?
>No reason. I just wanted to see you, Maki-chan.

>This makes no sense!

p11
>Well, sorry about that.
>Your mom sent me up here.
>That simple?
>That simple.

>But why come here on such a snowy day?
>Didn't you hear that the school's closed?

>About that...

p12
>"Snow day" reminded me of the preliminary finals [TN: Season 2, episode 9. i.e. When u's performed "Snow Halation"]
>so I rushed to the school full of vigor.

>So I started making my way home.
>That's when...

>Honestly.
>Quit screwing around and be more calm.
>Sorry.
>I'm bothering you, right? I'll go home.

>You're not bothering me!

p13
>Hey, Maki-chan?

>Do you
>hate me?

p14
>I mean, you haven't really said much to me.
>I came all this way to see you and you're making this look like I'm a nuisance.
>Even though it's just the two of us
>you haven't looked my way at all.

p15
>What's brought this on? Do you have a fever or something?
>This isn't like Honoka. If I hated her, I wouldn't go out of my way to be with...
>No, that's not it.

>Honoka is troubled and lost too, but she was still
>looking straight towards me.
>Don't worry.
>And also...
>I love you, Honoka.

p16
>Eh? Eh!?

>I'll say it honestly just for today.

>Hold on.

>your face is really red! Are you alright?
>I-I'm just fine!
>It must've been because you've been walking through the snow.

>Come on, don't move.

p18
>I think you really might have a slight fever.

>I'm sorry.

>I don't have the words to respond to your good will.
>The truth is, I can't even tidy up such words.

p19
>I like you. I love you. I really love you.

>Honoka.
>Thank you for showing me such kindness.

p20
>Woah! Your face is totally red!
>Are you really okay?
>Geez
>Geez geez!
>It's because you're being so frank all of a sudden, Maki-chan!

>Honestly.
>It might be cos you were walking through the snow.
>Will you do it if I go back to sleep?
>Remember those words.

p21
>Hey, Maki-chan. Since you're being honest now, could you hold my hand?

>Why?
>Cos your fingers are so pretty.
>I'm always looking at them when you're playing the piano.
>And your skin feels smooth and nice.

>Your fingers have saved so many people up until now, and they will keep doing so.
>I'm sure they're warmth will heal me quickly!

p22
>Besides, if I hold it, I'll be able to go to sleep faster.
>Please, Maki-chan~

>You're the one who saved me, Honoka.

>You always overcome any obstacle.

>Geez, you're such a hopeless girl. Just until you fall asleep, okay?

>Ehehe

p23
>Hey
>Hold it properly, okay?
>I know that!

>Good night, Maki-chan.
>...

Say "good night" properly~
>Yeah yeah.

p24
>Good night.
