Dia! Diaaaaaa! Where are you?!

It's no use. I can't see properly because there are too many people around, and my voice gets drowned out by the parade music and cheers if I call out to her. What do I do?

Oh, I know!

[Fade in/out.]

Diaaaaa! Thank goodness I finally found you.

I-I'm sorry. I had every intention of staying right by your side as we walked, but I ended up getting separated from you without realizing it.

No, I should be the one apologizing since I know that you don't do well in big crowds.

You really did save me when you rang my phone. I do not know if I could have made it out of that crowd of people on my own.

I was so worried about finding a place to watch the parade that I half forgot about you, even though we made plans to spend time and enjoy ourselves together today.

Please don't look so downtrodden. I know more than anyone how much trouble I have with crowds.

That's why I should have had the foresight to keep an eye on you and think of what to do if we got separated. My negligence led to this situation.

So you're saying we're both to blame?

*Giggle* Indeed. We both share the burden.

Before I forget—has the parade already finished?

Um, it's apparently doing a loop of the park, so I don't think it's over yet. It's probably pretty far from here, though.

Is that so? Let's catch up to it, then.

What? Right now?

But of course! You were the one who suggested we watch it while we're here, right? All we will be left with are regrets if we throw the towel in now!

Don't you remember the huge crowd of people?

I have experienced it for myself, so let's hold hands to ensure we do not get separated this time.

Okay! This time we'll make sure we don't get split up!

I suppose it wouldn't be such a bad idea to leave some unfinished business and wait for next time, though…

Did you say something just now, Dia?

I said I'll pray that we can find a prime viewing spot this time!

*Chuckle* We sure will! Wait for us, parade! We'll catch up to you soon!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew… I feel like I've enjoyed myself enough today to last a lifetime.

Oh Dia, you're so dramatic. I kinda know what you mean, though. It's been a while since I've cut loose this much.

Thank you very much for joining me today. I had a lot of fun.

Me too. We went to Harajuku, Ai's neighborhood, and then the amusement park. There was a lot of traveling about, but it was fun!

I'd love to go to different places with you again, just like we did today.

Me too. Let's do this again and go out together to make more fun memories.
