It's a little cold today, isn't it? Spending a day like this relaxing indoors would've been nice…

But breathing the air outdoors like this is also great.

Isn't that right, Prelude?

…………

*Sigh* Oh, Prelude. Who knew being with you every day would make me so happy?

Hold up! It's not just you and Prelude here! I'm here too, Lili! Do you mind not leaving me out of the group?!

Oh, sorry, Yoshiko. But you're also happy every day because Prelude's around, right?

As if… Wait! It's Yohane!

Geez. You used to HATE dogs and now you're always a puddle of mush when it comes to Prelude!

I didn't think I'd end up loving dogs as much as I do now, either.

I used to think dogs were really scary animals. I did a disservice to Shiitake as well by thinking that.

Prelude is gentle, lovable, and pure… I'm so glad I met such a wonderful dog.

I wouldn't give up the time I spend with Prelude for anything.

Thanks for becoming a part of my family, Prelude!

Yeah, yeah. All right. That's enough of that!

But…

There's actually something that's really been troubling me lately. Do you mind hearing me out, Yoshiko?

Something serious on your mind, Lili?!

Hurry up and tell me about it! We're friends, aren't we?!

Thanks! The thing is, I'm wondering if I should dress Prelude up in clothes or not.

…Excuse me?

I want to treasure Prelude au naturale, but I feel like being dressed in something warm might be better in this cold weather.

I've been racking my brains over it every day recently. Hey, Yoshiko? Do you think I should dress Prelude up?

Who cares?! Argh! I can't stick around you like this!

Oh! Wait! Yoshiko, wait!
