## Transcript

[Front Gate, YamiTsume High School]

**Fuyu** : (That girl....from the looks of it, she hasn't heard of rumors about me yet......Otherwise, she would have acted differently back then.)

\*badump\*

**Fuyu** : ........Oh.

**Friendly Male Student** : H-hey! Are you okay??

**Fuyu** : ..........

**Friendly Male Student** : Ah! Fuyu-san! You haven't gone home yet? Here, I'll help you stand.

**Fuyu** : ........Don't.

**Friendly Male Student** : Eh?

**Fuyu** : How do you know my name? Who are you?

**Friendly Male Student** : Hah.....I guess what they said is true....

**Fuyu** : .......

**Friendly Male Student** : That you're so distracted that you can't even recognize your own classmate.

**Fuyu** : .......What?

**Tamaki Katayama** : It's me! Tamaki Katayama! Surely you remember my name, right?

**Fuyu** : Tamaki.......Katayama......

**Fuyu** : ..............

**Fuyu** : (I......can't.....remember....)

**Tamaki** : Hey, Fuyu, are you okay? Earth to Fuyu?

**Fuyu** : Y-you shouldn't be talking to me.....if not....the rumors....

**Tamaki** : Why does that matter? We're classmates, we should talk more!

**Fuyu** : ...!

**Tamaki** : I see, you're feeling uncomfortable talking near the school...... Ah! There's a park somewhere nearby, let's go there and have a chat!

(Tamaki takes Fuyu's hand)

**Fuyu** : Ah......Hey!

**Fuyu** : (What in the world is he doing?!)

(Suddenly, a voice and a slight view of a girl appears in Fuyu's head)

**???** : Never......Forget......

**Fuyu** : Argh!!

**Tamaki** : What's wrong, Fuyu?

**Fuyu** : .......Nothing.....It's just a headache....

**Fuyu** : (Who was that girl.....? Why can't I remember anything....?)

**Fuyu** : Katayama-san.

**Tamaki** : Yes? What is it?

**Fuyu** : If you are indeed my classmate, then tell me. What do you know about me?

**Tamaki** : Hmm....It's kind of hard to explain but....let's just say I know a lot about you.

**Tamaki** : Come, we'll walk to the park and I'll tell you what I know.

**Fuyu** : ...........

**Tamaki** : Well, are you coming?

**Fuyu** : ......Yes.

[Sadohara Park, Evening]

**Tamaki** : We're here. Take a seat at the swing, I'll go get you a drink. Anything specific?

**Fuyu** : ....Anything's fine.

**Tamaki** : Got it.

**Fuyu** : ..........

**Fuyu** : (Why can't I remember anything? This is so irritating....)

**Fuyu** : (Also, why is he so friendly towards me? I never talked to him or anything of the sort. But he-)

**Tamaki** : I'm back.

**Fuyu** : ...!

**Tamaki** : Whoops. I'm sorry for startling you. By the way, here you go.

**Fuyu** : Thanks....

**Tamaki** : You're welcome.

**Tamaki** : So, what do you want to know-

**Fuyu** : How do you know me?

**Tamaki** : Hmm....That's an easy one.

**Tamaki** : Does the name "Hanami Taira" ring a bell?

**Fuyu** : Hanami..........Taira?

**Fuyu** : .........

**Fuyu** : Ah! I...think I know someone by that name. But, what does she have to do with anything?

**Tamaki** : She......is your friend from middle school.

**Fuyu** : .........

**Fuyu** : Then....

**Tamaki** : ......?

**Fuyu** : That voice....was...

**Tamaki** : What voice?

**Fuyu** : ....Nothing.

**Fuyu** : Oh yes. One more thing, Katayama-san.

**Tamaki** : Yes?

**Fuyu** : What....actually happened to me? I....can't seem to remember anything...

**Tamaki** : Well....

**Fuyu** : You know something, do you? What is it?

**Tamaki** : You.....lost your memories months ago.

**Fuyu** : ...!
