| Hisoka | *Yaaaawn*… |
| (I’m sleepy… I didn’t sleep well last night either… |
| I feel like I’m going to fall asleep during my shift at Journey…) |
| Chikage | —Oi. |
 |
| Hisoka | ? |
| *pulls over* |
| *car passes* |
| Chikage | Watch where you’re going, will you? |
| You’ll get hit by a car if you walk in the middle of the road like that. |
| Hisoka | …I was lost in thought. |
| Chikage | Thoughts? You? |
| Hisoka | …Something smells good. |
| Chikage | That’s from these. I came across the cream puff shop Citron mentioned he wanted to try out while I was out, so I purchased some as a gift. |
| Hisoka | …A gift? You? |
| Chikage | Don’t laugh. |
| Hisoka | I wanna have some too. |
| Chikage | Well there’s none for you. |
| Hisoka | (This sweet aroma… that reminds me…) |
| |
| *flashback starts* |
| |
| (I’m starving… |
| Which trash can should I scavenge through today…) |
 |
| *bumps* |
| Boy | !! |
| Hisoka | —. |
| Boy | Tch. Get out of my way! |
| Hisoka | ? |
| Shopkeeper | I finally found you! |
| So you’re the one who stole my stuff! |
| Hisoka | Eh…? |
| Shopkeeper | Don’t play dumb! My goods! |
| This incense—you must’ve been the one who swiped it! |
| Hisoka | Incense? |
| Ah… a boy earlier, he… |
| Shopkeeper | I’m gonna make sure you never get up to no-good ever again! |
| Hisoka | It wasn’t me… it wasn’t… |
| Shopkeeper | Shut up! You’ve got the evidence right there, don’tcha! |
| Hisoka | —. |
| *runs away* |
| Shopkeeper | Ah, stop! |
| Hisoka | (It’s no use… he’s not going to believe me no matter what I say…) |
| Shopkeeper | Hold it right there! |
| ??? | Over here. |
 |
| Hisoka | !? |
| ??? | Shh, keep quiet. |
| Hisoka | … |
| Shopkeeper | Damn it! |
| Where’d he go! |
| You’ll pay if you show your face here again, got that! |
| ??? | …The coast is clear. |
| Hisoka | *Sigh*… |
| ??? | What a disaster it was to be framed, hm? |
| Hisoka | …How did you know? |
| ??? | I happened to witness everything earlier. |
| Hisoka | Thank you… |
| ? |
| ??? | What’s wrong? |
| Hisoka | …I smell something good. |
| ??? | Ahh, that must be these muffins. |
| My family asked me to buy some for him. |
| Hisoka | … |
| ??? | …Very well. |
| I’ll give one to you. |
| Hisoka | …Are you sure? |
| ??? | He’ll definitely complain about why I didn’t give you any if I explain this to him later. |
| Hisoka | Thank you… |
| ??? | Bye now. |
| *walks away* |
| Hisoka | (I see, there are such nice people out there too… |
| I hope we can meet again…) |
| |
| *flashback ends* |
| |
| … |
| Chikage | What’s wrong? |
| Hisoka | Urgh… |
| Chikage | OI—! |
| |
| Hisoka | Ngh… |
 |
| Izumi | Ah, are you awake? Thank goodness. |
| Homare | I shall inform the others. |
| Izumi | Please do. |
| Hisoka | …? |
| Izumi | How are you feeling? |
| Hisoka | I’m okay… |
| Izumi | You bumped into Chikage on the way to Journey and then you passed out. Do you remember? |
| Hisoka | Yeah… |
| I also remember Chikage carried me here. |
| Izumi | Make sure to thank him later, alright? |
| Hisoka | …I got it. |
| Tsumugi | Are you alright, Hisoka-kun? |
| Tasuku | His complexion doesn’t look too bad now. |
| Azuma | I brought some water. |
| Hisoka | Thanks… |
| Guy | There is no need to force yourself to come to the bar. |
| Hisoka | …Sorry for taking another day off. |
| Guy | Perish the thought. |
| We did not have many customers today, so I decided to close up temporarily. |
| Azuma | You should take your time and rest. |
| Hisoka | …Okay. |
| (All of them are worried about me… |
| These warm, ordinary days—I really don’t want to forget them…) |
| These days, I’ve been going through a tough time remembering all sorts of different things all of a sudden… |
| Like memories of August, and memories of my childhood… |
| I felt guilty for forgetting, and I was shocked that I had forgotten things that I swore I would remember for the rest of my life back when they happened. |
| I recalled the times I spent alone, before I met August… |
| Memories of awful moments I wish were left forgotten, and memories of kind-hearted people I should’ve kept with me… |
| I started feeling afraid, like what should I do if the memories I have with everyone faded away without me even realizing it, just like that? |
| I don’t want that… |
| I don’t want to forget my memories with all of you… |
| I used to think that it would be alright as long as you guys remembered for me. But the truth is, I don’t want to forget anything anymore… |
| Homare | Hisoka-kun is surprisingly sentimental, isn’t he? |
| Tasuku | …Yeah. |
| Azuma | Perhaps that’s just how much he cares about us. |
| Tsumugi | Thinking you don’t want to forget isn’t strange at all. |
| Nobody wants to forget their precious memories, or for others to forget them either. |
| Guy | Everyone feels the same way. |
| Hisoka | …Right. |
| Tsumugi | Say, Hisoka-kun. |
| If you don’t mind, won’t you come to Flower Park with me next time? |
| The peonies are in bloom. |
| Or I guess, for you, I should call them paeonia? |
| Hisoka | Peonies… |
| Tsumugi | However, it might trigger some memories to resurface that you wanted to forget… |
| So we can go once your feelings have settled down. |
| Hisoka | …I’ll go. |
| I have a feeling now is the time to go. |
