*(Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)*
**[00:02] ---**
*Wow! A gift for you!*
**[00:04] ---**
*(So, isn't that true love defined?)*
**[00:11] ---**
*Nothing happening,*
**[00:13] ---**
*every day feels the same*
**[00:15] ---**
*Over and over, just*
**[00:17] ---**
*waiting for time to pass*
**[00:19] ---**
*When I'm with you,*
**[00:21] ---**
*I can feel*
**[00:22] ---**
*something so special,*
**[00:24] ---**
*and I want to make it real*
**[00:27] ---**
*Look, I'm really grateful every day, but you know*
**[00:30] ---**
*I feel like I'm not doing enough in return*
**[00:32] ---**
*"I was just feeling like it.*
**[00:33] ---**
*No real meaning or reason why."*
**[00:35] ---**
*Stop complaining and just take it already!*
**[00:39] ---**
*(Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)*
**[00:40] ---**
*Yeah, there's no way that's how it goes!*
**[00:42] ---**
*(So, isn't that true love defined?)*
**[00:44] ---**
*Whoa oh oh oh oh*
**[00:46] ---**
*An angel just landed*
**[00:48] ---**
*Right in front of me*
**[00:50] ---**
*With a smile that looked*
**[00:52] ---**
*Like her wings spreading open*
**[00:53] ---**
*Hey, that's against all the rules*
**[00:55] ---**
*You look so happy*
**[00:57] ---**
*Wipe off that look*
**[00:59] ---**
*Before my mind goes blank*
**[01:01] ---**
*If you keep this up,*
**[01:03] ---**
*You're gonna spoil me rotten*
**[01:06] ---**
*Come on, you gotta do something about this*
**[01:08] ---**
*So, let's get started*
**[01:10] ---**
*I want to know*
**[01:11] ---**
*A lot more about*
**[01:13] ---**
*The world you live in*
**[01:15] ---**
*So, let's get started*
**[01:17] ---**
*I want to laugh*
**[01:18] ---**
*A lot more with you*
**[01:20] ---**
*In the world you live in*
***SIGN*** The Angel Next Door

**[01:23] ---**
*I want to know more*
**[01:25] ---**
*I want to laugh more*
**[01:31] Shihoko**
Amane!
**[01:32] Shihoko**
I know you're there!
**[01:34] Shihoko**
Amane!
**[01:36] Shihoko**
There you are, Amane. Don't you look well?
**[01:39] Amane**
Yeah, yeah. I'm very well,
so will you leave now?
**[01:44] Shihoko**
Wow, what a way to talk to your mother.
**[01:47] Shihoko**
It took me hours to come
all the way here, you know.
**[01:49] ---**
Fujimiya
**[01:49] Shihoko**
Show a little appreciation!
**[01:51] Amane**
Thank you very much for
traveling such a long distance.
**[01:57] Amane**
Now leave.
**[01:58] Shihoko**
My!
**[01:59] Shihoko**
Unlike Shuto-san, you have
absolutely no charm.
**[02:03] Amane**
Guys don't need charm anyway.
**[02:06] Shihoko**
A rebellious phase, huh?
**[02:08] Shihoko**
Well then, please excuse me.
**[02:09] Amane**
Wait a second.
**[02:10] Amane**
Nobody said...
**[02:12] Shihoko**
You realize Shuto-san's and my income
is what pays the rent here?
***SIGN*** Fujimiya
**[02:19] Shihoko**
Excuse me, please.
***SIGN*** Reward for the Angel
**[02:32] Amane**
Listen, Mom.
**[02:34] Amane**
If you're coming over, at least
tell me first. Like an adult.
**[02:37] Shihoko**
I have to catch you off guard to make sure
you're actually taking care of yourself.
**[02:43] Amane**
B-But I'm okay, right?
**[02:45] Amane**
The place is clean, too.
**[02:47] Shihoko**
It sure is. What a surprise.
Very unexpected.
**[02:50] Shihoko**
And your skin is glowing, so you
must be getting enough nutrition.
**[02:54] Amane**
Y-Yeah.
**[02:56] Amane**
*Oh, no.*
**[02:59] Shihoko**
*Amane! I know you're there!*
**[03:01] (Flashback) Amane**
Sorry! Will you go to my
room for a while? Please.
**[03:03] Shihoko**
*Amane!*
**[03:05] Shihoko**
*Amane!*
**[03:05] (Flashback) Mahiru**
O-Okay.
**[03:07] Shihoko**
*Amane!*
**[03:07] (Flashback) Amane**
Also, I'll give you this.
**[03:09] Shihoko**
*Amane! I know you can hear me!*
**[03:11] (Flashback) Amane**
I'll find a way to drag my mom outside.
**[03:12] Shihoko**
*Amane!*
**[03:14] Shihoko**
*Hurry and open up! Amane?*
**[03:14] (Flashback) Amane**
When I do, go back to your place.
**[03:17] Shihoko**
It looks like you've been cooking, too.
**[03:20] Shihoko**
Oh? Dishes for two?
**[03:24] Amane**
Yeah, I had a friend over.
**[03:26] Shihoko**
Hmm...
**[03:28] Shihoko**
Maybe I'll check your bedroom next.
**[03:31] Amane**
I know you're my mother, but I prefer
to keep my bedroom private.
**[03:34] Shihoko**
Oh, yeah? Do you have something
embarrassing in there?
**[03:37] Amane**
Think about it.
**[03:39] Amane**
A high school boy *is*
going to have one or two
**[03:41] Amane**
embarrassing things in his bedroom!
**[03:44] Shihoko**
Amane.
**[03:45] Amane**
Y-Yes?
**[03:47] Shihoko**
What are you hiding from me?
**[03:50] Amane**
It's none of your business, Mom.
**[03:54] Shihoko**
Of course you'd say something like that.
**[03:56] Shihoko**
In that case...
**[04:02] Shihoko**
Huh?
**[04:18] Shihoko**
Amane! You little devil, you!
**[04:21] Shihoko**
You've got such an adorable girlfriend!
**[04:24] Shihoko**
I can't leave you alone for a second!
**[04:26] Amane**
N-No way! She isn't
my girlfriend or anything!
**[04:30] Shihoko**
Oh, my. You don't need to make excuses to me!
**[04:33] Shihoko**
As your mother, I'll support
anyone you choose, Amane.
**[04:37] Amane**
But you're getting it—
**[04:38] Shihoko**
Wrong? How?
**[04:40] Shihoko**
You wouldn't invite a girl
over unless you liked her.
**[04:44] Shihoko**
And a girl wouldn't go in a boy's
room unless she liked him, too.
**[04:51] Amane**
*Well, I guess I do* like *her.*
**[04:56] Amane**
I like her as a friend.
**[04:59] Amane**
Don't try to turn all opposite-sex
friendships into something romantic.
**[05:02] Amane**
I know she doesn't
think of it that way either.
**[05:06] Amane**
If you get the wrong idea—
**[05:07] Amane**
Oh.
**[05:08] Shihoko**
Hmm?
**[05:16] Amane**
Sh-Shiina.
**[05:18] Amane**
There's been a misunderstanding.
Could you help me explain?
**[05:21] Mahiru**
Misunderstanding?
**[05:23] Shihoko**
Hey, hey, Miss Girlfriend. What's your name?
**[05:26] Mahiru**
Huh?!
**[05:27] Mahiru**
U-Um, I'm Mahiru Shiina.
**[05:30] Shihoko**
Aww, Mahiru-chan? What an adorable name!
**[05:33] Shihoko**
I'm Shihoko. Feel free
to call me by my first name, too.
**[05:37] Mahiru**
S-Sure.
**[05:47] Mahiru**
U-Um, Amane's Mother...
**[05:49] Shihoko**
Oh, my! You accept me as a mother already?
**[05:52] Mahiru**
Fujimiya-san!
**[05:54] Shihoko**
"Fujimiya" could mean me *or* Amane.
**[05:56] Shihoko**
Right, Amane?
**[05:57] Amane**
Eh? Mom, you're making Shiina nervous.
**[06:02] Shihoko**
Amane.
**[06:04] Shihoko**
You have to call your girlfriend
by her first name, you know.
**[06:07] Mahiru**
U-Um, Shihoko-san?
**[06:10] Shihoko**
What, darling?
**[06:12] Mahiru**
Fujimiya-san and I—
**[06:13] Shihoko**
But which one do you mean?
**[06:17] Mahiru**
A-Amane-kun and I don't have
that kind of relationship.
**[06:20] Shihoko**
Oh, dear! So I guess
things are still developing!
**[06:23] Mahiru**
Huh? Um, that isn't what I...
**[06:27] Shihoko**
Oh, silly me!
**[06:29] Shihoko**
Did I accidentally spoil the mood here?
**[06:32] Mahiru**
U-Um...
**[06:34] Mahiru**
I must insist that you allow me to explain!
**[06:37] Shihoko**
Yes, ma'am.
**[06:38] Mahiru**
Amane... kun lets me eat dinner with him.
**[06:43] Mahiru**
Amane-kun can't cook for himself, so...
**[06:46] Shihoko**
If that's why, then I'd love for you
to keep supporting him, Mahiru-chan!
**[06:51] Mahiru**
N-No, I mean...
**[06:55] Amane**
Give it up, Shiina.
**[06:57] Amane**
Once Mom gets worked up, she stops listening.
**[07:01] Mahiru**
Oh, no!
**[07:05] Shihoko**
Really?
**[07:07] Shihoko**
Not just cooking, but cleaning, too?
**[07:11] Shihoko**
Does that mean you two are living together?
**[07:14] Amane**
How did you come up with that?!
**[07:16] Amane**
She lives next door!
**[07:18] Shihoko**
Oh, my. So you were destined to meet!
**[07:21] Shihoko**
I'm so happy for you, Amane!
**[07:23] Shihoko**
Such a beautiful and well-rounded girl
tending to your every need!
**[07:27] Amane**
I don't deny that she's beautiful
and classy, but "destined to meet"?!
**[07:31] Shihoko**
Mahiru-chan, as a parent
I may not be perfectly objective,
**[07:35] Shihoko**
but while Amane has a mouth on him
and is pretty stubborn,
**[07:39] Shihoko**
he can still be sincere and gentlemanly,
**[07:41] Shihoko**
so I think it's fair to say
you scored a real prize.
**[07:44] Mahiru**
O-Oh.
**[07:46] Shihoko**
Well, he does have
zero experience with girls,
**[07:49] Shihoko**
so it's probably best if you
take the reins there, Mahiru-chan.
**[07:53] Amane**
Mom, what are you talking about?!
Seriously, shut up!
**[07:55] Amane**
Just go home already!
**[07:59] Shihoko**
Well, if you insist.
**[08:01] Shihoko**
All right, then.
**[08:03] Shihoko**
I did spoil your special time
with your girlfriend, after all.
**[08:07] Shihoko**
Oh. Mahiru-chan?
**[08:09] Mahiru**
Huh? Y-Yes?
**[08:12] Shihoko**
Mahiru-chan, will you give me
your contact info?
**[08:15] Mahiru**
O-Okay.
**[08:20] Mahiru**
That was exhausting.
**[08:21] Amane**
Sorry. I sent her home
without clearing anything up.
**[08:25] Mahiru**
It's all right. There's no real harm.
**[08:29] Amane**
I wouldn't be so sure.
**[08:31] Amane**
It looked like she really liked you, Shiina.
**[08:34] Amane**
She'll probably keep bugging you.
**[08:36] Mahiru**
Shihoko-san really does think the world
of you, doesn't she, Fujimiya-san?
**[08:44] Mahiru**
That must be nice.
**[08:46] Amane**
What's nice about it?
**[08:47] Mahiru**
Your mother.
She's really bubbly, but she's kind.
**[08:51] Amane**
More like nosy and annoying!
**[08:54] Mahiru**
It still seems nice, though.
**[09:05] Mahiru**
"Mahiru-chan," huh?
**[09:08] Amane**
What is it now?
**[09:09] Mahiru**
Oh, it's been a while since someone's
called me by my own name.
**[09:13] Mahiru**
It's always my last name.
**[09:15] Amane**
Well, if you don't have friends who are
that close, then probably just your parents.
**[09:21] Mahiru**
My parents would never call me
by my name. Ever.
**[09:27] Mahiru**
Anyway, it's just unusual for me.
**[09:33] Amane**
Mahiru.
**[09:41] Amane**
It's not hard to get someone
to call you by your name.
**[09:48] Mahiru**
I guess that's true.
**[09:53] Mahiru**
Amane-kun.
**[09:56] Mahiru**
Just don't call me that in public, okay?
**[09:59] Amane**
You don't have to tell me!
**[10:01] Amane**
You, too. Don't let it slip
in front of people.
**[10:04] Mahiru**
I understand. It'll be our secret, right?
**[10:08] Amane**
Yeah.
**[10:09] Mahiru**
Oh.
**[10:11] Mahiru**
I should return your key.
**[10:13] Amane**
I don't mind if you keep it for a while.
**[10:16] Mahiru**
Huh?
**[10:17] Amane**
You can just give it back when
we stop hanging out.
**[10:20] Mahiru**
Yeah, but...
**[10:21] Amane**
It's a pain to have
to go to the door every time.
**[10:25] Mahiru**
Your true intentions are showing.
**[10:27] Amane**
Don't you get tired of using
the intercom and waiting?
**[10:30] Mahiru**
Even if I did, you're making
a very incautious decision.
**[10:35] Amane**
I'm lending it to you
because I trust you.
**[10:46] Mahiru**
All right, then. I'll borrow it.
**[10:51] Mahiru**
Just don't blame me if something
happens to your place, okay?
**[10:54] Amane**
Like what?
**[10:56] Mahiru**
Like you find the entire room
cleaned without your knowledge.
**[10:59] Amane**
I'd appreciate that!
**[11:01] Mahiru**
Or you find your fridge stuffed
with ready-to-eat meals!
**[11:04] Amane**
I'd be so happy at breakfast!
**[11:06] Mahiru**
Are you trying to make fun of me?
**[11:08] Amane**
Not one bit.

No kidding, no kidding.
**[11:40] Amane**
*You just don't see how hard she works.*
**[11:43] Amane**
*Maybe I can do something, at least.*
**[11:48] Mahiru**
Huh?
**[11:50] Mahiru**
Amane-kun, what is this?
**[11:53] Amane**
Oh. Cake.
**[11:55] Mahiru**
Do you like cake?
**[11:57] Amane**
Not especially.
**[11:58] Amane**
I bought that for you.
**[12:00] Mahiru**
Huh? Why?
**[12:03] Amane**
You're at the top of the class.
**[12:05] Amane**
That deserves a little celebration.
**[12:08] Amane**
Congratulations on first place.
**[12:11] Mahiru**
But I always get first place,
so I don't think it's that special.
**[12:16] Amane**
Yeah, but you still always work really hard.
**[12:18] Amane**
Why not accept a little reward for once?
**[12:24] Mahiru**
A reward...
**[12:38] Amane**
Yeah. Congrats.
**[12:40] Mahiru**
Thank you. I appreciate it.
**[12:56] Mahiru**
Is something wrong?
**[12:59] Amane**
No, it's nothing.
**[13:01] Mahiru**
Oh.
**[13:06] Amane**
Wha—
**[13:07] Amane**
N-No, I didn't mean I wanted some.
**[13:12] Mahiru**
Oh, you didn't?
**[13:13] Amane**
I'll take it if you're offering, of course.
**[13:17] Mahiru**
You're the one who bought it
in the first place, Amane-kun,
**[13:20] Mahiru**
so I think you have every right to eat some.
**[13:30] Amane**
It's so sweet!
**[13:31] Mahiru**
Well, it is cake.
**[13:34] Amane**
Give it here.
**[13:40] Mahiru**
I'm, uh...
**[13:40] Amane**
Eat.
**[13:56] Amane**
So? How was that?
**[13:58] Mahiru**
D-Delicious.
**[14:00] Amane**
No. I mean being fed like that.
**[14:03] Mahiru**
It was entirely unbearable.
**[14:07] Amane**
I thought so.
**[14:08] Amane**
If you do stuff like this,
people get the wrong idea.
**[14:14] Amane**
*I've got to keep my guard up, too.*
**[14:23] Amane**
*I thought I'd try making lunches by myself,*
**[14:27] Amane**
* but I'm so used to Mahiru's*
* fantastic cooking now,*
**[14:31] Amane**
* I'm not sure I'll even*
* be able to finish my own.*
**[14:36] Amane**
* Yeah, seriously.*
* Mahiru is spoiling me rotten.*
**[14:46] Mahiru**
Oh.
**[14:47] Mahiru**
Were you shopping, too, Amane-kun?
**[14:50] Amane**
Well, sorta.
**[14:57] Mahiru**
But shouldn't you let me handle that?
**[15:00] Amane**
Huh?
**[15:01] Mahiru**
Amane-kun, are you confident
you won't make a mess of your kitchen?
***SIGN*** Fujimiya
**[15:07] Amane**
Not a bit.
**[15:08] Mahiru**
Then it might be best if I
were to supervise things.
**[15:14] Mahiru**
So you've decided on the menu?
**[15:17] Amane**
Sautéed vegetables and omelettes.
**[15:19] Mahiru**
Are you seasoning the vegetables?
**[15:21] Amane**
Yeah. Gonna douse 'em with yakiniku sauce.
**[15:26] Mahiru**
Quite a bold flavor, then.
**[15:39] Amane**
Taste it! Please!
**[15:42] Mahiru**
Thank you for the food.
**[15:51] Mahiru**
It's just bland scrambled eggs.
**[15:54] Mahiru**
You didn't add any salt or pepper, did you?
**[15:56] Amane**
Ah... I completely forgot.
**[15:59] Amane**
And it was supposed to be an omelette, too.
**[16:02] Mahiru**
You stirred the eggs too much.
**[16:03] Mahiru**
What did you think would happen
if you scrambled them like that?
**[16:07] Mahiru**
I even warned you.
**[16:09] Amane**
I'm sorry!
**[16:13] Mahiru**
Why don't you try the one I made as a sample?
**[16:17] Mahiru**
Please eat it before it gets cold.
**[16:20] Amane**
Thanks.
**[16:26] Mahiru**
I think you did the best
you could, Amane-kun.
**[16:30] Mahiru**
The important part is
having a desire to cook.
**[16:33] Mahiru**
But if you ever reached the point
where you could cook well by yourself,
**[16:37] Mahiru**
I wonder if my services
would no longer be needed.
**[16:40] Amane**
No! I mean, I...
**[16:42] Amane**
I want to keep eating your cooking, Mahiru!
**[16:47] Amane**
Though I know how pathetic
and presumptuous that sounds...
**[16:52] Mahiru**
What am I going to do with you?
**[16:55] Mahiru**
I don't plan to quit any time soon,
so I think you can relax.
**[17:00] Amane**
Thank you.
**[17:02] Mahiru**
Maybe I'll have you help out
from time to time.
**[17:05] Mahiru**
Peeling vegetables and stuff.
**[17:07] Amane**
But that's a job for a kid.
**[17:09] Mahiru**
We have to start you off small, Amane-kun.
**[17:18] Chitose**
Hey, Amane!

**[17:19] Chitose**
Christmas party at your place?
**[17:21] Amane**
No way.
**[17:22] Chitose**
Aww! Why not? I know you'll be alo—
**[17:26] Chitose**
Is it your girlfriend?!
The one you bought the presents for?!
**[17:29] Amane**
Hell no. I don't have a girlfriend.
**[17:34] Chitose**
Huh?
**[17:35] Chitose**
But would you really give a stuffed
animal to a casual acquaintance?
**[17:41] Amane**
To my neighbor, yeah.
**[17:43] Amane**
She shares food and helps me out with stuff.
**[17:46] Itsuki**
No wonder your complexion
is so much better recently.
**[17:49] Chitose**
If there's no girlfriend, then why not?
Let's have a Christmas party at your place!
**[17:53] Itsuki**
If you don't want to, it's fine with us.
**[17:56] Amane**
Hmm...
**[17:57] Chitose**
Hmm?
**[17:59] Amane**
Hmm...
**[18:01] Amane**
Fine, then.
**[18:03] Amane**
The 24th, right?
**[18:05] Amane**
We can wrap up before dinner anyway.
**[18:07] Amane**
As long as we finish by then.
**[18:11] Chitose**
Ya win. I guess I gotta play along.
**[18:16] Chitose**
Ao ao ao! Tha hurrs!
**[18:16] Amane**
Don't be *so full* of yourself!
**[18:19] Chitose**
Ikkun, Awane-kun ullying ee!
**[18:22] Itsuki**
Hold it, Amane.
**[18:23] Amane**
Is this the mouth those words
came out of? Huh? Is it?
**[18:24] Itsuki**
Quit picking on Chi.
**[18:26] Itsuki**
I'm the only one who can pinch those cheeks!
**[18:28] Amane**
Fine, fine. Then squeeze them
real good for me.
**[18:32] Itsuki**
I can handle that.
**[18:35] Chitose**
It's not fair if he makes you do it! Aww!
**[18:36] Itsuki**
Squishy squishy squishy!
**[18:38] Chitose**
Staaahp!
**[18:40] Itsuki**
You're such a cutie!
**[18:41] Amane**
Can I leave now?
**[18:44] Mahiru**
Plans for Christmas?
**[18:46] Mahiru**
Nothing in particular.
**[18:48] Amane**
Oh, really?
**[18:49] Amane**
I was sure you'd have
a girls' night or something.
**[18:51] Mahiru**
Most of the classmates
I keep in touch with have boyfriends,
**[18:56] Mahiru**
and I turned down
all the boys who invited me out.
**[18:59] Mahiru**
I'll be free one way or another.
**[19:02] Amane**
I bet those boys are all in tears now.
**[19:04] Mahiru**
But if you're asking me about Christmas
plans, does that mean you have some?
**[19:09] Amane**
Hmm?
**[19:10] Amane**
Yeah, Itsuki is coming over
on the afternoon of the 24th.
**[19:15] Mahiru**
Itsuki?
**[19:17] Amane**
He's my buddy.
**[19:18] Amane**
His girlfriend's coming, too.
**[19:20] Mahiru**
I understand. Let me know when
your Christmas party is over, then.
**[19:25] Amane**
Okay. Sorry about this.
**[19:27] Mahiru**
It's fine. I hope you have fun.
**[19:35] Amane**
Won't you be lonely?
**[19:38] Mahiru**
I'm used to it.
**[19:40] Mahiru**
Being alone.
**[19:45] Amane**
Ah, actually...
**[19:50] Amane**
I realize this may sound presumptuous,
**[19:54] Amane**
but while Christmas Eve might not work,
how about spending Christmas together?
**[19:59] Mahiru**
Spend it together doing what?
**[20:02] Amane**
Huh? Uh...
**[20:05] Amane**
I guess there's really nothing to do. Sorry.
**[20:08] Mahiru**
Then...
**[20:09] Amane**
Huh?
**[20:11] Mahiru**
I want to try that thing.
**[20:13] Amane**
That thing?
**[20:14] Mahiru**
I've never played one of those before.
**[20:19] Amane**
Is that okay? Just playing games and stuff?
**[20:22] Mahiru**
Yes, that sounds good.
**[20:28] Chitose**
Merry Christmas!
**[20:31] Itsuki**
Still, you sure cleaned up around here.
**[20:34] Itsuki**
It was pretty gnarly for a while.
**[20:36] Chitose**
Mm-hmm. And it seems
to have a feminine touch.
**[20:41] Amane**
Why would you say that? More importantly,
**[20:45] Amane**
don't snuggle so much
at someone else's place!
**[20:47] Itsuki**
You jealous, man?
**[20:49] Amane**
Not particularly.
**[20:50] Chitose**
I wonder if everyone else
is snuggled up like this, too.
**[20:54] Amane**
Don't forget the guys who are
crying tears of blood tonight.
**[20:58] Chitose**
Oh, yeah. A while ago,
**[21:00] Chitose**
a bunch of boys ganged up together
to try to ask the angel out on Christmas...
**[21:06] (Flashback) Boys**
If you please!
**[21:08] (Flashback) Mahiru**
I'm very sorry.
**[21:12] Chitose**
...and she shot them all down at once.
**[21:15] Chitose**
She said, "I can't because I have plans
with someone else," or something.
**[21:20] Amane**
Huh.
**[21:21] Itsuki**
You really don't care about
the angel at all, do you, Amane?
**[21:25] Chitose**
Is it because your neighbor's
the real angel to you?
**[21:29] Amane**
Wanna get kicked out?
**[21:30] Chitose**
Oh noes!
**[21:33] Chitose**
Ikkun, look! It's snowing!
**[21:35] Itsuki**
Whoa! We're getting a real white Christmas!
**[21:38] Chitose**
Hey, hey, Ikkun! Let's go out on the balcony!
**[21:40] Itsuki**
Yeah!
**[21:41] Chitose**
White Christmas!
**[21:44] Amane**
*First snow of the season.*
**[21:46] Chitose**
Huh?! Wha—?! What are you doing here?!
**[21:48] Itsuki**
What? Whaaat?!?
**[21:51] Amane**
Ma...
**[21:55] Amane**
Uh...
**[21:58] Mahiru**
Oh.
