Finally reunited after living apart for so many years, Kotaro and Akane spend some time together out on a beautiful moonlit evening - just like they did when they were just a pair of shy children. The young lovers deeply enjoy their time alone in one another's company - when things take a surprising, unexpected turn... One-shot.

A few short stories based on the Line messages between Kotarou and Akane shown at the end credits from Episode 12. I used the translations from Crunchyroll and BrownRiceCookies.

On a chilly evening before the final day, Akane and Kotarou face their worries together. A retelling of a certain scene in the last episode, told from Kotarou's perspective.

*** SPOILERS *** This links the "Now" to the "And Then..." at the very end. I know it runs a bit counter to the theme of the series, but I just had to write this for myself... I've tried to present it so those who haven't seen the series can still understand what's going on (hence the short write-up of each of the two main characters to set the scene).

Chinatsu still loves Kotarou!
