Chapter 2
The snow has stopped now. Doesn't matter though. My mind still rambles about earlier. Why? Why couldn't I tell her? Yuzuki......
She hasn't spoken since I told her. I think she's upset. After all, they way I said it was harsh.
"Minoru?"
Yuzuki? Now, I have to tell her.
"Yuzuki. I –"
"Kokubunji? How are you doing?"
That voice. Motosuwa.
"Hello Hideki. How are you?"
I envy you, Hideki. How were you able to tell Chi how you felt? I mean, you-she oh, how can I? Hideki.........maybe he could help.
Hideki: "I'm good. Are we late?"
"No. The cab doesn't arrive for a while. Besides, Shimbo's not here yet."
Now there's a guy. Eloped with his teacher, Ms Shimizu. Now they're expecting their first child. I could never do that. Motosuwa, Shimbo, how can they do it? Why can't I just........?
Hideki: "Oh right. He's meeting us there. Takako (Ms Shimizu) fell into labour. She's at the hospital as we speak!
"What! Really? Oh my- I! Yuzuki, call Sumomo for me."
Yuzuki: "At once Minoru."
That's right. Yuzuki's a Persocom. Even if we did marry, we could never be a family.
Shimbo: "H-hello? Minoru?"
"Shimbo! Is everything ok? I just heard about Takako."
Shimbo: "Ya, Ya everything's ok! It was just the shock. Don't worry I'll be able to make it no problem."
"O-okay. Take your time. Well, see you!"
Yuzuki: "Minoru, are you ok? You're quite pale!"
"What? Oh, yea I'm fine. Listen we'd better go."
Yes. Best not waste any more time. Kaede, we're coming.............
