I think I'll have my lunch outside today! The weather's so nice, it's gonna make my sandwich taste a hundred times better!

Where should I eat? The rooftop? Or maybe the courtyard?

Hey, it's Honoka!

Rin! Were you about to eat too?

Yup. The weather's so nice, I thought I'd eat outside.

Oh, for real?! Me too. Let's eat together!

You sure? 'Cause I'd be happy to!

*Chuckle* Then…the courtyard! Let's go to the courtyard!

Okay.

[Fade in/out.]

Boy, this looks good! *Munch* *Munch* Mmm! Sandwiches are so delicious! I just love how light and fluffy they are. Omnomnom…

*Giggle* You are such a bread-lover, Honoka.

You know it! Sandwiches, bread rolls, bagels, I love 'em all! Getting to eat all your favorite stuff is like, the happiest feeling ever, huh?

You said it. It's so nice getting to eat your favorite foods.

You look kinda down, Rin. Did something happen? Is your “ramen battery” running low or somethin'? Just kidding.

Yeah, it is.

Aw, geez. That sounds rough.

Wait, I was right?! When was the last time you had any?

Two weeks ago…

T-Two weeks?! You're the biggest ramen lover I know! Wh-What happened?! Are you sick?

N-No, it's just…

There's this Chinese restaurant I've been going to for ages. But the last time I went, there was a flyer up saying they'd be closed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Oh geez… I'm so sorry to hear that.

The ramen there is special to me. No matter how tired I am, one bite is enough to perk me up again. The employees are so kind, too. I just really love that restaurant.

I'm just so worried. Like, what made them have to close? Did something happen to one of the staff? I can't even cheer myself up with ramen from anywhere else, either.

Rin…

I'm so sorry!

Huh? Why are you apologizing, Honoka?

Because I never noticed. I couldn't even tell how much pain and worry you were going through…

D-Don't be like that. You didn't do anything wrong! I was keeping it all to myself anyway.

That's it, then. I'm gonna think of a way to cheer you up!

Honoka…!

I can't just sit back and do nothing while one of my dear friends is feeling down. Your smile is what keeps me and everyone in μ's going!

Just leave it to me! And once you're feeling better, we can go get some ramen together!
