I had such a great time at our joint dance practice today! I haven't seen everyone from μ's and Nijigasaki in ages.

I had a lot of fun, too!

Kanan, Mari, are you going to make your train?

Yeah. We've still got some time.

Wanna hang out at a cafe or something until you have to leave? There's a new one that just opened close by. I even have a coupon for a cake there!

That's a wonderful idea. Let's go! Huh? What's this poster?

Hmm? Looks like a picture of the town, I guess?

This is a really old photo. I wonder where this is.

Look, there's a caption in the corner. 60 years ago, this place… Oh, this is exactly where we're standing right now!

Here?! It looks nothing like it does today!

Unbelievable! It looks like a totally different town.

Still, after that much time, maybe it's only natural that a town would change so dramatically.

Especially with how the economy was booming back in those days

Whoa. I wonder if my neighborhood's changed this much over the years, too.

You can see how much change is possible just from this picture. I wonder if this town will look much more different decades from now.

Yeah. This town will definitely… No, not just the town. Places everywhere will change as time passes.

That's true. But no matter how much they change physically, the shiny, passionate dreams of the residents will live forever! Past, present, and future, they'll never fade.

You're so cool, Mari!

Even when surroundings change, hearts don't. What a beautiful thought.

Sometimes she says profound things like that as if she suddenly remembered them.

*Laugh* Then let's connect our present hearts to our future ones by eating some cake!

Yeah!
