What are you ordering, Ayumu?

I think I'll order a hot lemon tea.

Sounds good to me too! Excuse me, can we get two of these?

It feels good to have all the ingredients for our chocolate together.

It does. I'm relieved that our shopping trip went off without a hitch.

I haven't really made much chocolate before so I'm a little bit nervous. Teach me all you know, Ayumu!

That's a given! The two of us can handle this.

If you haven't made much chocolate before now, does that mean that you're usually the one who ends up receiving chocolate, rather than giving it out?

*Laugh* You caught me. Kotori and Umi give me chocolate every year! They've done it since we were kids.

This year, though, I want to make chocolate for them and give it to them as a gift.

That's lovely! I bet Kotori and Umi will both be very pleased.

How about you, Ayumu? Do you make chocolate every year?

Yes, each year I make some to give to my childhood friend. I think you know who I mean.

I didn't know that! I bet she's really happy to get your chocolate, right?

I suppose so… Though I do worry a little about whether I'm managing to properly express how I feel.

I suspect that not all of my true feelings are getting through…

Yeah? How do you give your chocolates to her? In person?

Yes, in person. And when I do…

Do you remember what day it is today?

Aw, you forget every year! I guess that's just how you are.

I love that forgetful side of you, though.

It's Valentine's Day. Here, I made you some homemade chocolate!

I just really want you to always know that I'll be by your side whenever you need me.

…It goes like that. What do you think?

W-Wow! There's no way she wouldn't get the picture from that!

Do you really think so? I'd be happy if she did…

No matter how happy you are to get chocolate, it's the feelings behind the gift that makes you the most happy, don't you think?

Yeah, I think so too!

I wanna pack all my feelings into the chocolate I give out at the exchange party, too!

I know, what if we write letters addressed to everybody?

I like that! Let's go buy some stationery after we finish our tea.

Okay!
