Girl: Stop!

Guy: Why are you playing coy like this now?!
	C'mon!
	C'mon!

Girl: W-
	wait.

Guy: What is it?

Hiro: Oh, er,
	have you seen a suspicious-looking man in the area?
	Why,
	thank you.
	Shit!
	Why do I care?!
	She's YOUR girlfriend, YOU watch out for her!

 - Page 117 -

Hiro: I'm home.

Mother: Oh, Hiro,
	Hikari-chan is here.

Hiro: What?!

Mother: I sent her to wait up in your room.

 - Page 118 -

Hiro: What are you doing with the lights off?

Hikari: Where were you?
	You promised you'd be watching out for me.

Hiro: Oh,
	well...  see.

Hikari: Liar.

Hiro: Hikari...?

Hikari: Wahhh!

Hiro: What happened?!

Hikari: He took me to his so-called "meeting place",
	which was the run-down factory with the three smokestacks where no one was around, and-
	And I believed you were going to come rescue me...

Hikari: Pfff.
	Hahaha,
	I got you so good that time.

Sfx: (SMACK)

Mother: Huh?

Hideo: You're late.
	What happened to your face?!

Hikari: Huh?
	Oh,
	this...

Hideo: Oh my God!!  Did Shu-?!

Hikari: No, no.
	I wasn't watching where I was going, and ran into a sign.

 - Page 124 -

Hideo: Really?!

Hikari: What is this?
	I didn't realize you were such a caring man!

Shelf Sign: Nature

Hideo: Okay...
	He wasn't lying after all.
	His friend did come...

Hikari: So, you did doubt him a little.

Hideo: Hey, it's been five years.
	Back then, he was like my brother, I could always tell what he was thinking, but...

 - Page 125 -

Hikari: Likewise,
	you've changed in five years.
	You've become a baseball celebrity who gets fanmail from all over the country,
	even though your school didn't even make it to the Koshien.
	The Hide-chan he knew had become too distant for him to greet like a perfect friend anymore.
	Especially for someone who's a little rough, like him.

Hideo: I wonder if he quit playing...

Hikari: What?

Hideo: Baseball.

Hikari: Dunno...

 - Page 126 -

Hideo: Oh, right.
	Hiro was really worried, looking all over town for you.
	You should call him.
	On the phone.

Hikari: Ah,
	yes.
	Hey, Hiro.
	Yes.
	Yeah, don't worry.
	Yes,
	goodbye.
