Hey, I came up with a great idea, for something we can do on Christmas eve You mean something for you and me? To start the night, what do you say, that you and I have dinner at a very nice restaurant But I And then after dinner, I thought maybe we could go to a church and check out all of the Christmas carolers I’m really not that religious, but I’d love to see them before every year, and I’m sure you’d love to see them too And then I thought, Sorry, but I won’t be able to go And that’s that I know you still haven’t gotten over your feelings for Mr. Namura yet, I’m not giving up on you that easily Make it easy on yourself and go with me I’m sorry Satoshi. but I really would like to be alone right now, okay? What a big Christmas tree You know when I see it from this far, it makes me feel like I’m Santa Claus Um. Arimi. What? Oh. I…uh… Never mind I can’t do it Arimi.

You can look now Kiss, kiss, kiss… The odds are 50/50 I don’t want this to sound worse than it has to, But, Anju, You life is at stake here Your father and I thought it would be best to let you make the decision for yourself It’s for the best If the operation fails, I’ll never see Yuu again Yuu, come on, hurry up, will you? Hey. Over here What’s got into you? Why do you have to run at a first speed?

But I didn’t do anything Miki, I wonder if you would do me a big favor, and please take good care of Kei Now that he has the desire to play again , I never want to see him lose it, I beg your pardon But I really don't think that Kei ever lost any of his desire to play piano Oh? I thought that was pretty obvious , when I first heard him play, he says that I inspire him to play again, but it actually doesn’t matter if I’m there or not, because I know the piano is a life inside his heart I just know he loves nothing more than playing Yeah. Hello. Still working? It’s getting pretty late, isn’t it? Oh. Hi. Ryouko. It’s almost Christmas you know Aren’t you going to take time to enjoy the holiday ?
