Let’s skip counseling today and just relax instead. |
You came all the way out here. |
Do you want something to drink? |
I cried so much that I’m thirsty. |
Touko-san, I’ll start keeping my diary. Honestly, this time. |
Don’t force yourself. You’re a kind girl. |
I’m not forcing myself. |
The diary is for me, after all. |
And the next time I hear the voices, I’ll listen to see what they are saying. |
Then, I’ll tell you what they said, Touko-san. |
Thank you, Lain. |
Happy birthday, by the way, Touko-san. |
Huh! My birthday? |
I made this for you with my mom. |
Really? I’m so happy! Can I open it? |
Sure. |
Cookies! Good timing. We were actually out of teacakes. Let's have them together. |
Is it good? |
Mmm. It tastes like tea. |
You said that you like tea, so we made the cookies that way. |
Thank you. But then we better have a different kind of tea. |
It won’t go with black tea? |
No, not that it wouldn’t go with it, but it would be too bad if we couldn’t enjoy the tea and cookies as much as possible. |
Should I have made cookies with a different flavor? |
Oh, no, no. |
Not at all! |
But you took all the trouble to make such nice cookies, and I want to enjoy them as much as possible. |
That’s all. |
Really? |
Really. Thanks so much, Lain. |
Sensei, it hurts. |
