"No, I haven't."
"Don't lie! And don't spend the whole day thinking about things like that! There are so many meaningful things you haven't done. Remember you promised to take Hanabi for a motorcycle ride?"
"Well... haha, you'll have to wait until the end of this year at least. If Hanabi-chan isn't satisfied, I can still take you horse riding."
"Then Sakura-kun, remember to make time to hang out with Hanabi... Hanabi has always been looking forward to it."
This sentence...
Yes, sweet and timid little Hanabi has always been looking forward to spending each day with me.
Always looking forward to going on dates with me.
Always looking forward to the next time we go shopping together.
Sitting together on a bench by the street, drinking milk tea, eating croquettes.
If she's happy, I might hear her sing joyfully... filled with deep emotions...
