Ayumu #824: New Year's Meet-up
Player
I can't wait to pay my respects at the shrine with Ayumu. I need to get there soon, or els—
Ayumu
There's no need to hurry.
Player
Huh, Ayumu?! I thought we were supposed to meet at the shrine.
Ayumu
*Giggle* I wanted to surprise you, so I waited here.
Player
What? Does that mean you've been waiting here long? Ah, your hands are so cold too…
Ayumu
Eek! Y-Your hands will get cold too!
Player
I appreciate the surprise, but I'm worried you'll catch a cold out here. Since we're neighbors, we should just go together from home next year.
Ayumu
W-Well, that's true, but…
Player
But what?
Ayumu
What I'm trying to say is…
Ayumu
…It's fine if we go together straight from home, but I also think sometimes, it's nice to meet up outside somewhere.
Ayumu
I like the thrilling feeling of thinking about you while I'm waiting, you see.
| Option 1: “I also felt thrilled.” |
|---|
| Player The truth is, while I was on my way to meet up with you, I was thinking about you and getting excited. I guess we felt the same way. Ayumu Really?! *Giggle* I'm glad we decided to meet up, then. |
| Option 2: “Waiting can be fun too.” |
| Player I know what you mean. When you're meeting up with someone, the time spent going to see them or waiting for them can be fun and exciting too. Ayumu Yeah! Waiting to see someone dear to you is both exciting and a little nerve-racking, right? |
Ayumu
Actually, while I did wait here because I wanted to surprise you, the real reason is that I wanted to see you even sooner. I guess I couldn't ignore that feeling.
Player
I see. Well, I'm glad I got to see you even sooner, that's for sure. Thanks for waiting for me, Ayumu.
Ayumu
*Chuckle* I'm just happy I could see you run up to me with a smile on your face. Our meet-up date was a great success!
Player
In that case, let's go do something fun after setting up a meet-up first again sometime!
Ayumu
Yeah! Let's do that!
Ayumu
All right, I think it's about time we visited that shrine. Here, take this.
Player
Huh? What?
Ayumu
*Giggle* When we made our first shrine visit of the year, we held hands so we didn't get separated, remember? Since you always went running off to all the different stalls.
Player
Y-You're talking about when we were little!
Ayumu
Hehe! But we don't wanna get separated this time either, do we?
Player
Urgh…
Ayumu
Or maybe you just don't want to hold hands with me?
Player
No, that's not it at all! Fine, let's hold hands!
Ayumu
*Giggle* This feels familiar. Let's have a nice, fun shrine visit—just the two of us!
