| *DOOR OPENS* |
| Guy | 《 Citronia, have we gathered all of the decorations we need for the graduation party? 》 |
| Citron | 《 Yes. All that’s left is to put them up on the day of the party. How are things on your side? 》 |
| Guy | 《 No problems at all. The food menu for the party has been decided. 》 |
| Citron | 《 I see. Everything’s going well then. 》 |
| Guy | By the way, I see that you’ve been staring at your phone for a while now. What is it that you’re looking at? |
| Citron | A video of Kumon’s graduation ceremony! You must watch it as well, Guy! |
| Guy | … It’s a wonderful ceremony indeed. |
| Citron | You can see everyone showing off their best smiles! |
| 《 …I wonder what it would’ve been like for us if we were students attending a school as well. 》 |
| Guy | 《 Hm… We are of different ages, so I imagine that we wouldn’t even be able to attend school at the same time. 》 |
| 《 I’m certain though that just like Kumon, we would find our own dear companions and live every day with fulfilment. 》 |
| Citron | 《 Mhm. I believe so too. 》 |
| Guy | 《 And I imagine that when graduation comes, the feeling of parting with those companions would be one we would hold dear. Don’t you agree? 》 |
| Citron | 《 I don’t doubt that one bit. Even the parting itself would certainly be something precious to me. 》 |

| Batchmate A | That should wrap up the preparations for your exhibition, right, Kazunari? |
| Kazunari | Yep! Thankies for helping me out! You really saved me a lot of trouble! |
| Batchmate B | We should be the ones thanking you. You’re the one that’s been helping us out, Miyoshi. |
| Batchmate A | We gotta head home now; what about you, Kazunari? |
| Kazunari | Mhmm~ I think I’ll hang back just a while longer. |
| Batchmate B | If you say so. See ya at grad day then! |
| Kazunari | Yeah! Laters! |
| (... It’s really almost graduation day, huh. And this here is the final piece I made as an Amabi student…) |
| (Ahhh……. I really wanna draw.) |
| Banri | Looks like your graduation exhibit’s all done, huh? |
| Kazunari | Huh, Settsuar!? Did you maybe come to check on me? |
| Banri | Somethin’ like that. |
| Kazunari | Thanks for coming! I actually just finished, yeah! |
| Banri | … Hey, Kazunari. Do you want me to return to you your sketchbook? |
| Kazunari | Eh. |
| Banri | I had the thought when we were sorting your atelier too, but I just couldn’t help but notice the way you were yearning for somethin’ while you were lookin’ at this painting of yours… |
| You had this look on your face that was sayin’ as if you really wanted to draw. |
| That’s why I came all the way here with your sketchbook. Was hoping you would say that you wanted it back yourself. |
| Kazunari | … So you noticed. |
 |
| Banri | Well, I’d be a real annoyin’ one if you told me you wanted it back but I don’t even have it with me in my hands now, wouldn't I? |
| Kazunari | Whaaaaat! I wouldn’t think of you in any way like that at all! |
| Really, thanks for coming all this way with my sketchbook. |
| But it’s alright. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t draw anything until graduation day comes. I can still hold on for a lil’ while longer! |
| Banri | That so. Roger that, then. |
| |
| Store Clerk | Thank you very much for shopping! |
| Banri | That’s a good purchase there. Time to head home |
| Kumon | —Huh? Banri!? |
| Banri | Yo, if it isn’t you two. Whatcha up to? |
| Azami | Kumon asked me to come along with him to shop for uni prep ‘n stuff. |
| Banri | Oh right, I remember you guys talkin’ ‘bout that. |
| Kumon | Hey Banri, that bag you’re holding— isn’t that from an art supply store? Are you buying something for Kazu-san? |
| Banri | Ah… Nah, these are gonna be for the props in our grad show. |
| Azami | Grad show? Props? |
| Banri | Oh— the guys in the theatre arts course are gonna do a performance for their grad ceremony. |
| Kumon | Whaaat, that’s so cool! It sounds like it’d be lots of fun to watch a theatre show during the ceremony! |
| Azami | Hohhh. Art colleges really aren’t like your regular colleges after all. |
| Banri | I know right. |
| |
| Izumi | It’s finally graduation day for you. |
| Citron | With how smartly you’ve dressed up, Kazu, you better go have fun out there for your ceremony! And do your best backstage as well, Banri! |
| Kazunari | Yep! Thankies! |
| Banri | Thanks. We’ll be off now. |
| Kazunari | See y’all laters—!! |
| Izumi | Take care! |
| Citron | Guy, we’ve sent off Kazu and Banri on their way! |
| Guy | Right. Then shall we start putting up the party decorations from the lounge? |
| Citron | Yes! Let’s make this place one joyous and sparkling party venue! |
| Ohhh, and look at how the garden’s cherry blossoms are in full blossom…! |
| Guy | They’re blooming quite magnificently… |
| Citron | Orange… Navel… |
| … 《 Those two used to always mention how much they’d want to see these cherry blossoms. I may not be able to show them the real thing now, but perhaps with a photo instead— 》 |
| [SHUTTER CLICK] |
| 《 Orange. Navel. I’m truly over the moon to know that you two will be graduating soon. Congratulations. 》 |
| 《 The cherry blossoms in Japan are blooming so beautifully. May these feelings of celebration come through with this photo. 》 |
| 《 I hope next time, we get to see cherry blossoms in person together. 》 |
| I sent them a message with the pic! |
| Guy | I’m sure those two would be glad to receive it. |
| Citron | It’d be nice if they do. |
| Now then, today is an important day, so let us give it our all in celebrating the graduation of our family members here in Japan too! |
| —AH!! |
| Guy | Mm? What’s the matter? |
| Citron | I just had an idea! Let’s move everything here and have a cherry blossom-filled garden-graduation party instead! |
| Guy | A garden party? But if we change plans now, we might not make it in time— |
| Citron | Fufu, don’t fret! I have just the plan for that! |
