Youta: My house. Ai: I feel so familiarized. Youta: Of course, you used to live here. Sound: Wiiiiiii. <7> Ai: Oh yeah. Then can I live here again? Youta: Not anymore. There's no space for you now, so. <8> Ai: I had a dream about him again. Dammit. Why's it so sad. Dammit. Gokuraku: What's wrong, Ai. Ai: Uh-un. Nothing, I just had a dream. I'll fix breakfast soon. <9> Sound: Wiiiii mu. Ai: Hey, Grandpa. Why is the VCR always on? Gokuraku: N-gu! There are many programs I want to record. Ai: I see. Gokuraku: Why so you suddenly ask me about the VCR. Ai: Well. Nothing. Just, because it also appeared in my dream, so. Anyway. His room was too familiar. <10> Gokuraku: Him? Your friend? Sound: Basha basha. Jya--. Ai: Yeah. His name is Youta, a strange guy. The VCR was on at his house too, so. Anyway, it was so realistic. Gokuraku: Ai. You're beginning to see the lost pieces of your memory. Ai. Why don't you go to that friends house? Ai: Why? <11> Gokuraku: If it's the same room that appeared in your dream, then you have clairvoyance. See, you have to try it. Sound: Ka ka ka ka. Ai: Oh. Gokuraku: Using this opportunity, if she goes to Youta's house, then it might help her recall her memory. Ai. I'm telling you, don't stop this VCR, I'm taping something more important than life. Ai: You're exaggerating, I know it. Gokuraku: It's no exaggeration. This tape is your life. If it stops, you'll disappear. We have to be very careful about it until your memory comes back. Sound: Wiiiii mu. <12> Ai: I should go to his house. huh. But why. I'm sure his room will be like that. I feel like so many things happened there. Many things. Sound: Zazazaza. Zuki. Ai: Wh-what. Ouch. My hand. <13> Girl: .And she went on a trip with her boyfriend, and they went all the way. Nobuko: Wow. Girl: Usually, she seems very shy, so when I heard about it, I couldn't believe it. But, anyway, it's amazing, hunh. Nobuko: I see. I envy her. Girl: What are you talking about? You're going out with a guy you've liked for a long time. Gee, I'll do my best to get a boyfriend. Nobuko: I'll do my best too, maybe. Girl: What. <14> Nobuko: For a long time, I've already decided that Senpai would be the first man. Girl: Are you serious? .Hey, are you, Nobuko? Nobuko: I hinted to him that girls might ask to go to a hotel, so. Girl: What kind of person would say that!! It's just like. Nobuko: I have to say it because he seems shy. Tomorrow is Sunday, so maybe I should go stay at his house tonight. Girl: Gero gero*. *It's a kind of joking expression, like, "Oh my God!" or something. <15> Sound: Ban. Youta: Hi. Ai: Hi. You have a date tomorrow, right. <16> Youta: It's not particularly scheduled. Sound: Ban. Ai: Good! I must be lucky. I may go to his house! It's kinda embarrassing. would sounds like I'm asking for a date. Youta: You too. Will have a date, right? <17> Youta: You'll have a date with the boy you're supposed to comfort as a Video Girl, right. Ai: O- of course. Hehehe. Youta: That's what I thought. Ai: Ch. I thought he would be a little bit jealous, but he doesn't care. Why do I expect such a thing. Oops!! I didn't ask him if I could come to his house!! <18> Ai: What should I do. I missed the chance to ask him, and it's somewhat of a trouble too, so. I guess I don't have to. It was just a dream. Yes, it was! But that room the VCR was in, I'm curious. Girl: .And that AV* girl looks like you. *Adult Video Girl: No kidding. <19> Ai: I remember he said something weird about me. Looks like an AV girl. Well. Video Gal? .Um, Oh, yeah, Video Girl!
