"Prince Kanata?!"
The young man has a fairly distinctive hair color, even when seen only from behind and through a crowd. Haruka chases after him, with Towa close behind. He seems to sense that he is being followed. He speeds up and goes around several corners without looking back.
"Prince Kanata! It really is you!"
Haruka has cut him off. Now that she can see his face, there is no room for any doubt.
"I don't know anybody by that-" He pauses in the middle of denying his identity. "Towa? Do you know this person?"
"Don't you remember me?" Haruka looks crestfallen. "You told me that I could become a princess."
"I don't- I've never seen you before."
Towa sadly shakes her head. "Haruka, I didn't want for you to learn about this."
"Towa, what do you mean? How do you know Prince Kanata?"
"He is most likely the person you met as a child, but he is not a prince. This is my brother, Akagi Kanata."
"Why didn't you say anything? You know how important that dream is to me."
"Firstly, because I didn't expect you would encounter him. Kanata is supposed to be studying abroad in Prague."
Towa looks pointedly at Kanata, who refuses to meet her gaze. "I dropped out. I'm sorry."
She sighs. "The other reason is the kind of person my brother is. He has a history of approaching girls and claiming to be a prince. As handsome as he is now, he was even more convincing as a young boy."
"But why doesn't he- I mean, Kanata, why don't you remember me? Meeting you is one of my most treasured memories!"
"It's because of the kind of person I am," Kanata replies. "To you, that one time we met is a cherished memory of your childhood. To me, it was Saturday."
