| *phone dialing* |
| Igawa | Yes, Igawa speaking. |
| Tenma | It's me. I want to confirm the schedule for the film shooting. |
| When will my filming end? |
| Igawa | About this matter, it seems like in the current situation it will be difficult to delay the filming. |
| Tenma | …I see. |
| Igawa | At this rate, it looks like it will overlap with the date of your graduation ceremony… |
| Tenma | …. |
| Igawa | However, it might still be possible to move up the filming, we don't know how things will develop until the last minute. |
| Tenma | …. |
| Igawa | Or perhaps, should we not accept any filming on the day of the ceremony, and have them consider a different date for the shooting altogether? |
| Tenma | We're already behind schedule as is, I can't trouble the staff and my co-actors just for my own personal circumstances. |
| Igawa | But… |
| Tenma | …it's fine. I'm used to it already. …I'm hanging up. |
| Huh…. |
| |
| Taichi | Let's take pictures together, Ten-chan! It would become a once in a life time picture after all! |
| |
| Tenma | (It's not a big deal if I can't go to the ceremony, I didn't go in elementary school and middle school either right) |
| (It's no use to start worrying about it now…) |
| Omi | So you were here. |
| Tenma | Omi-san…? |
| Omi | You said you ate at work, but I thought you might still be hungry. |
| Tenma | Is that… a pork miso soup? |
| Omi | It's perfect for supper right. Please eat it if you like. |
| Tenma | …thank you. |
| Omi | It's hot so be careful. |
| Tenma | …it's good. I love the pork soup you make Omi-san. |
| Omi | Haha, it's like mother's taste right? |
| Tenma | Can't believe you remembered that. |
| Omi | I always remember when someone compliments my cooking. For me, they're the most wonderful words I could possibly hear. |
| Tenma | …. |
| Omi | …say. Weren't you acting a bit strange earlier? |
| Tenma | Eh? |
| Omi | When you were talking to Taichi, it looked like you were trying to avoid the subject. |
| Tenma | …Omi-san, you really are like a mother. |
| Omi | Did something happen in filming today? |
| Tenma | …that's not it. |
| Omi | …? |
| Tenma | …looks like the shooting for my film and the graduation ceremony might fall on the same date. We won't know for sure until the very last moment. |
| Until now, putting work in top priority and not attending school events was the norm for me. |
| But, when I think how I might not be able to come to my graduation--. |
| The time I spent in high school with Taichi and Juza-san starts flashing through my head, and I feel somehow lonely. |
| Omi | …I see now. |
| Tenma | Well, telling that to everyone would just trouble them. |
| For now, I'll just hope the dates won't overlap. |
| Omi | …Yeah |
| Whether you end up coming to the ceremony or not, no matter what happens, I'll make sure to take a good photo of you and Taichi. |
| Tenma | If Omi-san will take it I can relax. |
| Omi | Leave it to me. |
