March, 2004

Honoka finds Nagisa in the same park where they'd fought the previous day, staring at the river. She has her back to Honoka, but notices her approach and turns to face her.

There is an awkward pause.

"Hi." "Hi."

The atmosphere between them remains tense and silent for several moments, until Honoka takes a deep breath and forces herself.

"I never meant to hurt your feelings, and I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have called you an honor student."

Honoka blinks. "But I am an honor student."

"That's- I..." Nagisa pauses, and almost smiles. "Okay, you are an honor student. I shouldn't have thrown it in your face like something bad."

"I misunderstood you. You may even be right that it's because I'm an honor student-"

"No, I was wrong."

Honoka ignores the interruption. "But I want to understand you! Can we be friends, Misumi?"

"We-" Nagisa's eyes suddenly widen. "That's not right!"

Honoka flinches. Nagisa notices.

"No, I mean, friends don't call each other by their family names!"

"Then... Cure Black?"

"My name is Nagisa! That's what you should call me! And... may I call you Honoka?"

"Yes, of course! Thanks... Nagisa."

"Sure thing, Honoka."
