    Here you go, Senpai.

    Thanks.

    Ai-chan and the Stairs to Adulthood
**[00:37] ---**
    What did you do for Christmas?
**[00:40] ---**
    Nothing, really. The usual.
**[00:43] ---**
    Delayed due to snow
**[00:43] ---**
    The usual?
**[00:44] ---**
    Delayed due to snow
**[00:45] ---**
    Delayed due to snow
**[00:47] ---**
    Is the train going to come?
**[00:50] ---**
    I don't know.
**[00:52] ---**
    Not being sure is always the worst.
**[00:58] ---**
    If it's canceled, can I go to your place?
**[01:02] ---**
    It's close, right?
**[01:10] ---**
    Are you imagining something naughty?
**[01:13] ---**
    What?
**[01:15] ---**
    Oh, the train's here!
**[01:18] ---**
    G-Good...
**[01:23] ---**
    *A message for our passengers.*
**[01:26] ---**
*    A stop signal has been*
*    issued due to the snow.*
**[01:30] ---**
*    We deeply apologize to our passengers,*
*    but please wait until we're ready to move.*
**[01:36] ---**
    Again?
**[01:37] ---**
    The station's right there, too.
**[01:41] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[01:43] ---**
    Is something stuck on my face?
**[01:46] ---**
    No, um... It's nothing.
**[01:52] ---**
    I worked a part-time job.
**[01:56] ---**
    On Christmas...
**[01:59] ---**
    Nobody wants to work then,
    so you get a bonus.
**[02:03] ---**
    So I didn't spend it with anyone in
    particular, or anything like that.
**[02:09] ---**
    I see.
**[02:12] ---**
    Feel better?
**[02:17] ---**
    I want to be a kid a little longer, you know?
**[02:24] ---**
    Everybody wants to treat me like a grown-up.
**[02:28] ---**
    Maybe that's why.
**[02:30] ---**
    I see...
**[02:33] ---**
    Want to see for yourself?
**[02:36] ---**
    At your place?
**[02:40] ---**
    Wait, what does that...
**[02:48] ---**
    *The train will now resume operations.*
**[02:50] ---**
    *We apologize for the inconvenience.*
**[02:55] ---**
    Just kidding. Sorry, mister.
**[02:58] ---**
    I was lying.
**[03:01] ---**
    I did take a step up the stairs
    to adulthood a while ago.
**[03:12] ---**
    You kind of realized, right?
**[03:15] ---**
    I'm no longer Ai(I)-chan, I'm J-chan!
**[03:27] ---**
    Is that what you meant? Huh?
**[03:32] ---**
    Have a nice New Year's!
