| Banri | Yo there, Kazunari. |
| Kazunari | Ah, Settsuar! Good aftie~ |
| Hang on, why do I feel like it’s been ages since we actually got to bump into each other again in uni? |
| Banri | It sure has been a while. You been real busy lately? |
| Kazunari | Well… I have been kinda swamped~ |
| Banri | Figured as much. Oh by the way, for the grad ceremony— |
| Kazunari | OMG, it’s already this hour!? I need to head out now! |
| Sorry for cutting you mid-convo, Settsuar! I gotta go somewhere but we can totes talk later, okay?! |
| Banri | Oh, sure thing. See ya at the dorms then. |
| *DASHING FOOTSTEPS* |
| Kazunari | (I really need to book it! But I feel so bad leaving Settsuar right after he called out my name too…!) |
| (It feels like we haven’t had the time to chat it out as much as we used to…) |
| |
| Izumi | Thanks for the help, Banri-kun. And sorry for calling you here right as you were heading home from university too. |
| Banri | I don’t got any other plans anyway so it’s all good. So have you settled on those as the presents you’re gonna give? |
| Izumi | Of course! The kids graduating from the theatre troupe I’ve been helping out with will surely be glad with these. |
| I was really scratching my head over what would be good gifts for them, but getting advice from someone with good taste such as yourself really helped out. |
| Banri | S’long as I can be of help to ya. |
| Izumi | So do you have anything to do after this? |
| Banri | Nah, not really. |
| Izumi | In that case, do you wanna look around together a little while longer? I don’t go around these shops that often, so I’m curious to see what else they have. |
| Banri | I’m game. Lead the way. |
| Izumi | Alright! |
| |
| Banri | Oh yeah. I bumped into Kazunari in uni today. It’s been a good while since the last time we did, though. |
| Izumi | Really? The two of you would meet each other on campus quite often before though, right? |
| Banri | I can never seem to catch him at all recently. Was hoping to at least talk to him about his grad ceremony too… |
| Izumi | The ceremony? Are you going to be involved in it? |
| Banri | Yeah, the students in the theatre & performing arts department are going to do a performance for the ceremony. |
| Izumi | Really now! That definitely sounds like something you can only look forward to in an art university, huh. So are you going to be appearing in the show? |
| Banri | Nah, the third years will be. The first and second years will be the backstage crew. Which I guess means it’ll be my turn to appear next year instead. |
| Izumi | I see. It’s too bad you couldn’t get in the cast now though, with Kazunari-kun graduating this year… |
| Banri | Well, the students in the acting cast seem to be going through a hectic sched’ themselves. |
| Izumi | Ahaha, I can imagine. |
| —Huh? That poster there, wasn’t that the one that Kazunari-kun was working on before? I remember him mentioning it. |
| Banri | Oh yeah, I recall him saying they’d be posting them ‘round here. Damn, this is pretty fire. |
| Izumi | It’s amazing! He really has been working so hard. |
| |
| Kazunari | (Today’s the day of this designers’ social gathering. I’ve gotta make loads of connections and conversations while I’m here!) |
| Good afternoon~! |
| Designer A | Hello! Is this our first time meeting? |
| Designer B | You look young, are you still a student, perhaps? |
| Kazunari | Yes, I am. My name’s Miyoshi Kazunari; I’m a fourth year in Amabi University’s Fine Arts department. I’ll be graduating this year as well. |
| Designer A | Is that right? It’s pleased to meet you. |
| Kazunari | Pleased to make your acquaintance too. |
| Designer A | So what plans do you have after graduation? |
| Kazunari | I’m planning to go freelance. |
| Designer A | Freelance, huh? I’m actually a freelancer myself, so if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them. |
| Kazunari | Really? I’ll take you on that offer, thank you very much! |
