It's completely cleared up. It was still raining a few moments ago, and yet it all feels like a dream now.

Yeah. The electricity is working again too.

How about the trains, You?

According to what I see online, they're operating again.

That's great!

It looks like they're jammed really full at the moment though, since the schedule is all out of order.

Ugh… I think we're in for a rough trip all the way to Numazu, zura…

Still, Shizuku helped us out a whole bunch.

Huh? How did I do that?

You were deliberately exaggerating how much fun you were having earlier.

Ah…

It's because everyone had such gloomy looks on their faces. You did all that on purpose to cheer us up. Am I wrong?

Haha, I guess you saw right through me.

Oh. Is that what was happening?

I knew it. Shizuku was acting bizarrely hyper compared to her usual self, so I thought something was going on.

You're right, but that only explains half of how I felt.

The other half was genuine excitement. It was as though I had really become a movie heroine.

And I wanted to share that excitement with all of you.

I mean, it really is a rare experience to be locked up inside your school on a stormy day.

Right. It felt exactly like being inside a novel. I'm glad I got to savor that feeling, zura.

Performing a musical piece at school during a storm felt pretty good as well.

I had fun running through the darkened halls.

It's kind of a shame that we never got to watch that videotape, though.

I agree. I wanted to watch it as well.

Even so, Shizuku, I have to thank you.

I expected an awful day because of the rain, but now it's an amazing memory.

It got my heart racing so much!
