Huh.

Halloween, huh?

Want to dress up together?

Stop making idle conversation.

Here.

All right, Christmas!

Sakamoto, in that case...

Okay, okay.

Honda!

Oh, uh, here!

What's wrong?

Here.

Thanks.

It's warm.

It's cold out.

Yeah.

Did things not work out between Mihashi-san and Honda-kun?

Who knows?

It looked like it was going well, but now...

Are they just going to drift apart?

That's so...

I hope things work out for them.

Yeah.

Is there anything we can do?

What?

For Mihashi-san and Honda-kun.

Like what?

Like...

Mishima

What do you want?

You got a second?

What?

Uh, well, actually...

What?

Uh, are you free on the 24th?

It's the night of the closing ceremony.

Christmas Eve?

What are you doing asking out a dude?

You idiot, I talked to Mashiki today.

What? You want me to go on your date with you, Haruki-kun?

No.

Uh, we thought we'd throw a party.

A Christmas party, huh?

She said she wanted you to come.

Aokisora High School Bus Stop

You invited the class rep, didn't you?

What?

Ah-ha. I get it.

Towa.

She won't come.

What?

I think she's been avoiding me at school lately.

I haven't been able to talk to her.

And her family's watching, too.

Brother

I'll be there soon.

I don't know.

Mashiki said she'd try to invite her, but...

Towa?

Sorry. I'm busy that day.

What? Seriously?

Yeah, seriously. It's my family.

Oh.

That'll be tough, then.

You sure you can't get away for a second?

Towa?

I'm scared.

Huh?

I'm afraid to talk to the class rep.

Why?

Never mind. It's nothing.

I'll show up once I'm finished.

O-Okay.

I don't know what time that will be, though.

Towa!

Later.

Hey!

Damn it.

Of course I'm scared.

It might be over.

Here.

I'll take this.

Since he's with his family, he'll show up no matter how late it is... probably.

Mashiki

It's finally tomorrow. I hope Honda-kun makes it in time.

Since he's with his family, he'll show up no matter how late it is... probably.

It's finally tomorrow. I hope Honda-kun makes it in time.

Since he's with his family, he'll show up no matter how late it is... probably.

Winter break starts tomorrow.

Though this season is full of events such as Christmas and New Year's,

exam students in particular should take good care of themselves

and study harder than ever as they enter the final sprint.

Mishima-kun.

Th-Thank you for having me.

Come in.

Uh, here.

Thanks.

Oh, welcome.

Thank you for having me.

Make yourself at home.

O-Okay.

Bye, Miharu.

See you later.

My parents are going out.

Really?

I've never invited my friends over for a party before,

so I think they were trying to be considerate.

Good evening.

Mihashi, you made it.

I couldn't tell my parents until the last second.

Sorry.

It's okay. I'm glad you're here.

You can stay for another hour, right?

An hour?

Yeah. I have a curfew.

Will Honda-kun make it?

I'm not sure.

Let's get the party started.

Could you two help me bring things out?

Okay.

Sure.

Mishima

Mihashi's here.

Her curfew's pretty strict, but she said she'd be here for another hour.

How are things going over there?

Honda

I'm not sure.

I'll call once I'm finished.

Mishima

We'll be waiting.

You still can't get here? Mihashi's leaving soon.

Were you nervous?

Huh?

I guess. I haven't seen him much.

You're right.

When's the last time the three of us ate together?

We didn't talk about family.

Your stepdad's nervous, too.

It's hard for him to bring it up.

I guess he's being considerate.

You both are.
