**[00:18] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An after-hours pass request?<br>**[00:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"After-hours Pass Request"<br>**[00:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Y-Yes!<br>**[00:24] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After offering me such<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an utterly flimsy excuse<br>**[00:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for being out for all those<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nights without permission,<br>**[00:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you ask for this?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You've got your nerve, Misaka.<br>**[00:34] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed, all of the necessary<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;report paperwork seems to be here.<br>**[00:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Incidentally,<br>**[00:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I got a request with the exact<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;same content within it from Shirai.<br>**[00:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It was dated tomorrow, and the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reason for absence was the same--<br>**[00:47] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"A study group with some friends."<br>**[00:49] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, yes. I'm going with Kuroko--<br>**[00:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What are you scheming?<br>**[00:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;N-Nothing! Just studying!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A study group!<br>**[00:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you were studying,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you could do it in the dorm.<br>**[00:59] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's no reason for<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you to head outside, right?<br>**[01:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's for a change of pace, you might say.<br>**[01:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Studying with friends from another school.<br>**[01:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All of us seem to be jammed<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with summer vacation homework. Um...<br>**[01:11] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Very well, request granted.<br>**[01:12] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[01:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Approved"<br>**[01:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be good to your friends.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However...<br>**[01:18] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...if you're even one minute<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;over your return time,<br>**[01:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you know what's going to happen...<br>**[01:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...don't you?<br>**[01:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Y-Yes!<br>**[01:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A shining hope runs its way<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;through the city, letting friends*<br>**[01:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*who always believe in each other<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;join hands and follow their hearts*<br>**[01:43] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*in an ongoing search for<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a future they have faith in*<br>**[01:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Standing still amid<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the hustle and bustle,*<br>**[01:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I watched as you faded into the distance*<br>**[01:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Because I now realize*<br>**[02:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*the importance of sharing*<br>**[02:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Both the day and all of<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;us are wreathed in smiles*<br>**[02:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*and I want to preserve<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;how normal that feels for us*<br>**[02:19] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*When the sky resounds<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with dreams kicking off*<br>**[02:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*unshakable power starts seizing on reality*<br>**[02:32] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It's because you had the<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;strength to reveal your weakness*<br>**[02:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*that I never forget, every single day,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to cherish the bonds between us*<br>**[02:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*and head held high,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;blaze a future to be proud of*<br>**[03:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello-o! Uiharu? What's up?<br>**[03:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It sounds like both Miss Misaka<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and Miss Shirai got their passes.<br>**[03:14] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Really? Terrific!<br>**[03:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They said that getting their<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;paperwork together was a hassle,<br>**[03:20] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but it turned out okay.<br>**[03:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which means that the study group<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;can go on today as scheduled,<br>**[03:25] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and for the first time in too long,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we'll all be together, huh?<br>**[03:27] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mm-hmm. Heh heh,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;when we see Misaka this time,<br>**[03:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we'll have to find out for sure<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who it is she gave the cookies to.<br>**[03:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, Miss Saten,<br>**[03:37] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we're not entirely sure that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it was a boy she gave them to.<br>**[03:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's no doubt about it!<br>**[03:41] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've never seen the maidenly<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Misaka ever look like that before.<br>**[03:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All right, all done.<br>**[03:47] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Okay, put them in the oven.<br>**[03:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We just have to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wait for them to bake now.<br>**[03:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry to put you out, Miss Saten,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;asking to let me use your kitchen.<br>**[03:59] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, no, I don't mind at all,<br>**[04:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but if you're baking cookies,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Misaka, I'm sure your dorm<br>**[04:05] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is better equipped<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;than using my lame oven.<br>**[04:08] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, mm-mm...<br>**[04:09] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, at my dorm's kitchen, there are<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;too many peering eyes, so I can't.<br>**[04:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mainly Kuroko,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and Kuroko, and Kuroko...<br>**[04:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ho-ho...<br>**[04:19] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So this is a present to someone<br>**[04:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you don't want<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;people asking about, isn't it?<br>**[04:24] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;N-No! I'm just in their debt,<br>**[04:27] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and I don't like to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;remain in anyone's debt.<br>**[04:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I think store-bought is good enough,<br>**[04:32] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but the idiot said something about<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;how cookies should be homemade.<br>**[04:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, but I'm not doing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this because I was asked to!<br>**[04:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather, it's more to shut up their<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whining, since I've gone this far.<br>**[04:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Still, good for you.<br>**[04:46] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[04:46] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Uiharu and I have been<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;concerned about you, Misaka,<br>**[04:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to say nothing of Shirai.<br>**[04:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I may not be someone<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you can turn to for help,<br>**[04:56] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but I would be delighted<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if you need someone to talk to.<br>**[05:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry, it's just...<br>**[05:03] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm the one who caused this problem,<br>**[05:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so I couldn't bear to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;drag anyone else into it.<br>**[05:09] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thinking about it now, I guess<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was pretty well at my wit's end.<br>**[05:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From now on, I'll be<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;more careful. I apologize!<br>**[05:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Okay.<br>**[05:16] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, is the reason<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you're feeling better now<br>**[05:20] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;due to this boyfriend I hear about?<br>**[05:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Boyf--?!
