Kotori Ep. 24: Album of Memories
Kotori and the others decide to make memory albums of past photos to give as presents to their childhood friends as a way to express their gratitude. As they make their albums, Kotori's feelings come to the surface.
You
Making a photo album for a gift is so much fun! I'm planning on putting a bunch of pictures of Chika, Kanan, and myself in it!
Kotori
Yeah! I wanna add stickers to the pictures of Honoka, Umi, and me. And…stick!
Player
Whoa, this picture's so cute! Is it from your elementary school graduation?
Kotori
Yeah. I was so nervous that I was shaking… But those two made me laugh and helped me relax.
Kotori
This one is from our school camp. Honoka was our group leader! See, she's the only one with a flag!
Kotori
This picture is of Umi when she won the archery competition. Doesn't she look devastatingly cool?
You
Kotori, you've already put so many heart stickers on the album! I can tell your feelings are overflowing from the pages. It's nice.
Kotori
*Giggle* I know right? As soon as I envisioned giving this to them, there was no holding my feelings back!
Player
Hm? Isn't this a picture of ÎĽ's, Aqours, and Nijigasaki all together?
Kotori
Yeah. We may not all be childhood friends, but I couldn't leave this picture out.
Kotori
After all, it's because I became a school idol with Honoka and Umi that we were able to meet everyone.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Phew, the three of us have finished our albums! Let's give just as much effort to the preparations for the day of the party.
Kotori
Okay!
Kotori
…Um. There's…something I need to tell you.
Player
Hm? What's the matter?
Kotori
I know I've said over and over that childhood friends are special, but I want you to know how much it means to me that I met you and all the others too.
Kotori
It might sound a little contradictory, but…to me, both those kinds of friends are really special.
Player
Oh, Kotori…
| Option 1: “I totally understand.” |
|---|
| Player I totally understand that without you saying a word! I mean, I feel the same way about you. Kotori Really? I'm so happy! |
| Option 2: “I'm so happy.” |
| Player I'm so happy to be included in your group of special people. Kotori Yeah! Super duper special! |
Kotori
That's why I wanted to give this album to you.
Player
To me?
Kotori
Yeah. There aren't that many, but there are a few pictures of us together in there.
Kotori
It's an album of memories that we've made together. We've been through a lot, haven't we? Fun times, tough times…
Kotori
I want to do more things with you going forward. I want to make even more memories with you.
Kotori
And so I figured I'd use this album to store those memories once I do.
Player
Kotori… Thank you! Why don't we take a picture together to celebrate our album?
Kotori
Okay! Let's do it!
