## Transcript

[Tsuyo Tea Shop, Evening]

(Agares sits with the imposter in front of Izayoi and Fuyu)

**Agares** : Apologize, now.

**Hanami?** : ...

(The imposter bows down and apologizes)

**Hanami?** : I AM SO SORRY!!!

(Agares smacks the imposter on the head, and rips her face out)

**Agares** : Enough of this disguise!

(Hanami's face turns out to be a disguise mask, and Agares removes her wigs too)

(It reveals a deep blue-colored long hair girl, with a small scar on her left eye)

**???** : I'm sorry, Fuyu-sama! Please accept my humble apology!

**Fuyu** : Who are you? Why are you disguised as Hanami?

**Samigina** : ...I am another of Hanami-sama attendants, you can call me "Samigina".

(Samigina bows, her eyes still tearing up from before)

**Izayoi** : Why you did attack us so suddenly?

**Samigina** : I...I was nervous.

**Fuyu** : Nervous?

**Agares** : This little brat doesn't come out often, but she's the one responsible for keeping your house clean all this time, Fuyu-sama.

**Fuyu** : ...I see.

**Samigina** : I must apologize to you too, Izayoi-sama!

**Izayoi** : Ah no, that's fine! Totally fine! I mean, you were nervous and all...

**Agares** : Hmph. Naughty brat.

**Samigina** : Ah! \*sob\* \*sob\*

(Agares wants to hit Samigina's head again, but Izayoi grabs Samigina and hugs her)

**Izayoi** : Enough! Don't hit her anymore!

**Agares** : Izayoi-sama!

**Samigina** : ...!

**Izayoi** : She's nervous...and afraid. Why won't you just tell her what to do instead of hitting her?

**Samigina** : N-No, don't blame Agares.

**Samigina** : It was I...who wanted to play a trick on you.

**Izayoi** : ...Know that that is not the correct way of being friends with people, got that?

**Samigina** : ...

**Samigina** : ...Okay, I understand!

**Izayoi** : Good girl.

(Izayoi headpats Samigina)

**Samigina** : Whoa, whoa. Whatever that was, I like it.

**Agares** : ...

(Agares groveled and bows at Izayoi)

**Agares** : It would seem that I too, have done a misconduct on my part. My ladies, please forgive me for my incompetence.

**Izayoi** : Okay! Apology accepted!

**Fuyu** : ...Samigina.

**Samigina** : ...Yes, Fuyu-sama?

**Fuyu** : ...Is Hanami doing okay?

**Samigina** : Hm. I had the honor of talking to her several days ago via phone.

**Fuyu** : And how is she doing?

**Samigina** : In her own words, it goes like this...

**Samigina** : She wishes you well, to hope that you gain more friends, and that she wants to see you again sooner.

**Fuyu** : ...I see.

(Fuyu flashes a slight smile)

**Fuyu** : Thank you very much, Samigina.

**Samigina** : N-No, no. I didn't do anything in particular.

**Samigina** : Speaking of which, what brings you two here my ladies?

**Fuyu** : Hanami told me I can go here if I don't have something to eat.

**Fuyu** : She also said something like...

**Fuyu** : "Heavenglaze".

(Hearing this, Samigina seems to be reminded of something)

**Samigina** : Ah! Maids, you heard Fuyu-sama! Take "it" out now.

**Fuyu** : ...?

(Just then, a maid arrives with a plate of tiramisu)

**Izayoi** : A tiramisu?

**Izayoi** : ...? Fuyu-chan?

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu's eyes shine, and her hands tremble)

**Fuyu** : ...

**Fuyu** : M-May I?

**Maid** : By all means, my lady.

(Fuyu tries a bite)

**Fuyu** : ...!

**Fuyu** : ...The exact same.

**Izayoi** : ...What's wrong?

**Agares** : Hohoho...I believe I can provide an answer for that.

**Agares** : Tiramisu is...

**Agares** : ...Fuyu-sama's favorite dessert.

(Fuyu eats the tiramisu bit by bit, and then finishes it)

**Fuyu** : ...

**Izayoi** : Fuyu-chan?

**Fuyu** : ...Heavenglaze.

**Izayoi** : ...?

**Fuyu** : It's name of this dessert.

**Agares** : Hohoho...Hanami-sama predicted a bit of your lost memory would return after taking a bite.

**Samigina** : After all, there's only two person capable of making the Heavenglaze Tiramisu.

**Izayoi** : And who would that be?

**Agares** : The first is Hanami-sama...

**Agares** : and the second person would be Lady Shiyu.

**Izayoi** : Lady Shiyu?

**Agares** : That's right. Lady Shiyu is, in fact...

**Fuyu** : My mother.

**Izayoi** : ...!

**Agares** : Correct.

**Samigina** : With this, our plan should be clear.

**Agares** : We will assist Fuyu-sama in restoring her lost memories, as commanded by Hanami-sama.

**Samigina** : Me, too!

(Agares and Samigina bows)

**Agares & Samigina** : From this point onwards, we will be openly assisting you!

**Fuyu** : ...

**Izayoi** : Fuyu-chan...

**Fuyu** : ...You have my thanks.

[The Next Day]

[YamiTsume High School Music Club, Morning]

**Bestisia** : Good Morning!

**Fuyu** : Morning.

**Miezu** : Good morning, Lorraine.

**Fuyu** : ...

**Miezu** : Oh?

(Behind Bestisia, Ayaka walks forward)

**Ayaka** : I know we've met before in the Student Council Office, but allow me to introduce myself again.

**Ayaka** : My name is Saito Ayaka. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

(Miezu and Fuyu looks at each other, and then both gives a nod as approval)

**Ayaka** : T-That's it? N-No tests or anything?

(Behind her, Nagi and Christine enters the room)

**Christine** : Your talents are not unheard of. Besides, you've been helping people out here and there that you didn't notice I was aware how much you secretly practiced at livehouses.

**Ayaka** : Ack, Senpai! Have you been spying on me?

**Christine** : "Spying"? Fufufu, how rude. I was merely looking after the welfare of the students here.

**Nagi** : In any case, congratulations.

**Miezu** : We welcome you to the Music Club!

**Ayaka** : ...

**Ayaka** : (I made myself clear...)

**Ayaka** : (This time, I will never doubt myself or anyone ever again!)

(Bestisia salutes to Ayaka, and Ayaka salutes back)

**Ayaka** : I promise I will do my very best!

(Fuyu walks over to Ayaka, and introduces herself)

**Fuyu** : ...Hello, Saito-san.

**Ayaka** : Fuyu-san.

(Fuyu offers Ayaka a handshake)

**Fuyu** : I'll be counting on you from now on.

**Ayaka** : Likewise.

(Ayaka takes Fuyu's hand, and both of them shake hands)

[Ayaka's Home]

(Ayaka's mom is cleaning her room, when she saw an open envelope, along with several framed pictures, and besides that there's another sealed letter)

**Ayaka's Mom** : Oh, this must be the letter she told me to put on the post office.

**Ayaka's Mom** : And what's this? Aww, apparently her friends from Kyushu wrote to her! How sweet of them!

(Ayaka's mom smiles and puts the pictures back in a tidier manner)

(On the framed pictures, there's pictures of her now grown up friends smiling and gathering together in a playground)

(Writings and signatures were imprinted on the frame)

(From left to right: Sora Takanoyama, Keita Bakuren, Tanizaki Ueyama and Kijinuma Moriyama)

(There's a photo frame of their childhood photograph, with the letter saying: "We miss you, Ayaka-chan!")

[Meanwhile, somewhere...]

[???, Unknown Location]

(A young woman is shown breaking a lot of things, and continuously screams)

(She seems to be having a massive breakdown)

**Young Woman** : AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

(The woman tears many of what seems to be her clothes apart, and shrieks from anger and grief combined)

**Young Woman** : \*pant pant pant\*
