Ending - Our role

== Hazawa's coffee shop ==

Kaoru : ...
Chisato : The shock that I feel when I see you at that time... I still remember it.
Kaoru : I'm sorry...  I can't hold back my tear, after talking about the fleetingness of our past... aaaa, How fleeting...
Chisato : Haaa. You're right, it's so fleeting.
Chisato : But, this is who you are right now.
Kaoru : Chisato...
Chisato : You've become what you want to become. If this is what you want, then, that [Fleetingness] is not a bad thing...
Chisato : That's what I think.
Kaoru : ... Yeah, I'm me. Thanks, Chisato.
Chisato : Well. This is only because I remember about the past. Tomorrow, I might hate 'this you' once again.
Kaoru : Fufu... Fine by me.
Kaoru : Just like I obtained courage. Chisato, you also still hold that unchanged strength within you.
Kaoru  : You might not call me with my nickname anymore, but the fact that you’re kind and strong hasn’t changed. It’s because I know this, I can keep supporting you no matter what you do.
Chisato : ... The first time I meet 'this you', the first thing that I think of is' Why did you choose the same path as me?' and then I feel anger.
Chisato : 'Do you want to become like me, not being able to cry or get angry. This is not the Kaoru that I know.' is what I thought.
Chisato : But, deep inside, it seems that you're still the same old Kaoru.
Kaoru : Fufu... So you remember?
Chisato : Your sense hasn't changed at all. What has changed is, now you have courage, I think?
Chisato : ...Sigh. Even so, I feel like, I'm partly responsible that you become like this.
Chisato : Even though, I will be fine even if you don't try to protect me at that time.
Kaoru : Don't say that. Thanks to you, I could find something that I wanna do. I get to know how it feels to be alive.
Chisato : That's exaggerating. We just happened to be a childhood friend.
Chisato : ...Well, if you're happy right now, then that's fine.
Kaoru : ... Alright then, We've been talking for a long time. Well then, thank you for the tape, I'll use it as my reference and I'll bring life to this role.
Chisato : ... When is the performance?
Kaoru : One and a half months from now. Please come and see it, if you don't mind.
Chisato : If I'm free on that day, then I'll come. Since this is the stage performance of the drama club, then Maya-chan will also be there too.
Kaoru : Yeah. Right now, she doing her best for the stage performance.
Himari : Hello~. Tsugu, are you here---?
Kaoru : Oya... Little kittens have appeared.
Tomoe : Oh, Himari. That's Seta-senpai and Shirasagi-senpai over there.
Himari : Waaa, You're right! Kaoru-senpai, Chisato-san! Hello.
Chisato : Hello, Himari-chan.
Kaoru : You too, Tomoe-chan. Did you come here for a tea break?
Tomoe : Aaa, Something like that. What about you two?
Chisato : Yes. We too. Well then Kaoru, since we're done here, it's about time for me to leave.
Kaoru : Aaaa.... Don't say such a sad thing, Chisato. Now that two little kittens have come here, how about we accompany them.
Kaoru : Let's spend a little bit of this fleeting time with the four of us.
Himari : Eh!? Is that okay?
Kaoru : Yes, of course.
Tomoe : Isn't that great, Himari!
Chisato : Sigh... Well, It can't be helped. I also want to talk with Himari-chan and Tomoe-chan, so I'll stay for a little bit longer.
Himari : Yeah-- Tomoe, I'm glad that we decided to come here~
Tomoe : Right! So what were you two talking about?
Kaoru : Nothing much, just something about the past.
Himari : That's right, you two are a childhood friend after all. I want to know~!
Kaoru : I'm sorry Himari-chan... I can't tell you anything. It's our secret.
Himari : Eh~! Is that so? I'm curious~...
Tomoe : That's right, Himari-chan. The drama club is going to hold a stage performance and I'll be participating in it. Please come and see us. Tomoe-chan too.
Tomoe : Ahh! Really! I'll come, thank you!
Himari : I'll definitely come!! What kind of roles did you get this time?
Tomoe : Aaa, Then I'll tell you about this role. Would you please listen to my story, Chisato, Tomoe-chan?
Chisato : Fufu, Okay.
Tomoe : I want to hear it too!
Kaoru : Aaaa... What a fleeting time. Well then, first, let me tell you about the story.
Kaoru : This story is about ----
