Look, look! It's a panda! It's really a panda! It's sooo cute!

Hahaha… You really do love your pandas, huh?

I mean, come on! It's a panda! Everyone loves pandas, right?

Right.

I wish I could just scoop it up and take it back to the dorms with me… But I know I can't.

Oh, but it's so adorable! Just looking at it brings a big, goofy smile to my face…

Hey! What are you staring at me for? I'm not the main attraction here!

[Fade in/out.]

Ahh, that's what I needed. I've got my fill of panda cuteness.

The pandas were pretty great, but I feel like I got a two-for-one deal out of this. I got to see a whole new side of you.

I bet you're thinking I don't seem like the type to get all excited over pandas, right?

Trust me, I know. But I just can't help it! They're so cute! What else am I supposed to do?

I don't think it's anything to get embarrassed about. If anything, I like you even more now that I've seen that side of you.

I-I don't need you to comfort me!

But, I'm glad you came along with me today. We made it without getting lost, and it's always more fun to gush over something adorable when you're with friends.

I should be thanking you! It's been a while since I last went to the zoo, so this has been really fun.

Okay, but you've been looking at me more than the animals.

Hahaha, well, you're cute! What else am I supposed to do?

Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. Since we're here, we may as well take a look at some of the other animals. Look, there's a penguin area!

Whoa, there are so many of them!

I could never get tired of watching these little guys. Each and every one of them has their own unique personality. Say, doesn't that one over there look a bit like Ayumu?

Oh, it does! They just kind of have the same vibe or something.

Look at that one showing off how cute it is! That one's Kasumi.

Hahaha, I can see that! The way it tries to turn up the charm is so like her. So that yawning one over there must be Kanata, huh?

Yeah, that's her, all right. The one over there is Ai. It hasn't stopped moving since we got here.

C'mon, why are you staring at me again?

Oh, nothing. I was just thinking. You really love everyone in our club, huh?

What's gotten into you? Of course I do. We've gotten close, after all.

Hahaha, you don't have to get all embarrassed.

There you go again… Look, you love them all too, right?

Of course I do! I love our whole group. That includes you and your love for everyone too! I'd love to bring the whole gang here next time.

It'd probably be tough to keep an eye on everyone, but I think I'd like that too.
