YUKARI: "And you're sure Mika will be on the other side...?"
CHISATO: "Well, no, I'm not entirely sure... But I think wherever we will end up is definitely somehow connected to the place that Mika is in now."
YUKARI: "......"
YUKARI: "... Okay, let's go..."
MIKA: "......?"
MIKA: "Where..."
MIKA: "...am I?"
???: "You are in a forest."
???: "This is Hinashiro's grove."
???: "So you really came..."
???: "Thank you, Mika..."
MIKA: "How do you know my name?"
MIKA: "Who... are you?"
???: "Sakura."
SAKURA: "I'm Sakura Himegami."
MIKA: "Sakura... Himegami...?"
MIKA: "Ah... You're S. H.?! So we finally got to meet each other..."
SAKURA: "Yes!"
MIKA: "But I thought I went to meet you in the mountains behind school..."
SAKURA: "We are in the mountains."
SAKURA: "But..."
SAKURA: "They are a bit different from the mountains you know."
MIKA: "So... You said you wanted to meet me..."
SAKURA: "I'm sorry..."
SAKURA: "For making you come here like that."
MIKA: "No, it's fine... But why?"
MIKA: "I had stopped the desk correspondence with you, and yet..."
MIKA: "I think I... got scared of you..."
MIKA: "Somehow, I don't quite remember..."
MIKA: "But I ended up coming here to meet you..."
SAKURA: "And I thank you for that."
SAKURA: "I really wanted to meet you, no matter what."
MIKA: "... I'm not as good a person as you think I am."
SAKURA: "That's not true!"
SAKURA: "After all..."
SAKURA: "You actually came to meet me!"
MIKA: "Is that so...?"
MIKA: "I must have... also wanted to meet you...? I think...?"
SAKURA: "Yes, you did..."
SAKURA: "Surely, that's how it was..."
YUKARI: "How much longer does this go?!"
CHISATO: "Look, Yukari! There's a light!"
YUKARI: "Did we finally make it to the exit?"
CHISATO: "Let's go!"
YUKARI: "I would have never expected that ditch to lead to such a place."
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "We're in... the mountains behind our school... right?"
CHISATO: "Yes..."
CHISATO: "It seems, we... ended up in a very strange place..."
CHISATO: "Yukari, that leads us back to where we came from!"
CHISATO: "If we go back now, I feel we probably won't be able to return here a second time, even if we take the same path we took just now..."
CHISATO: "Do you want to go back nonetheless?"
A: "That would be bad." B: "Yes, because..."
A: "That would be bad." [X] B: "Yes, because..."
YUKARI: "No. After all, we came here to find Mika..."
UKARI: "We can't go back until we've found her... I guess."
CHISATO: "Yes."
YUKARI: "Sorry. Let's go."
YUKARI: "What's wrong?"
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "Chisato?"
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "Hey! What's wrong!?"
CHISATO: "Just now... I thought I had heard the sound of a person crying..."
A: "Don't say creepy things like that!" B: "Really? Let me listen for myself..."
A: "Don't say creepy things like that!" B: "Really? Let me listen for myself..." [X]
YUKARI: "Wait... Let me listen for myself..."
YUKARI: "No. I don't hear anything like that..."
CHISATO: "I guess it was just my imagination then..."
YUKARI: "But you don't hear it anymore, right? So let's just continue."
YUKARI: "That light in the distance. That's where the train station is, right?"
YUKARI: "Which means, we're definitely in the mountains behind our school here."
CHISATO: "Yes. We are."
CHISATO: "And yet, we are in a different place than the station and everything else you see over there."
CHISATO: "The city over there is... far away."
YUKARI: "What do you mean by that?"
CHISATO: "I can't explain it very well, but... I think this place and the rest over there are kind of like parallel lines."
CHISATO: "In three dimensional space it's possible to find a spot from which two parallel lines will look like just one line, right?"
CHISATO: "I think right now it's exactly like that here. That is why we we can see the scenery of the other line, even though this place is completely different from the other line and they definitely don't overlap."
YUKARI: "But then why were we able to come here?"
CHISATO: "A good point. Think of it like this..."
CHISATO: "Even if those two parallel lines never overlap, there might exist a different, third line that overlaps with both."
CHISATO: "And in order to reach and access this third line, things like certain procedures or very strong emotions are probably necessary."
CHISATO: "Most likely, it's very rare for people to reach this place."
YUKARI: "......"
CHISATO: "Hey, Yukari. Are you confident that you can bring Mika back?"
YUKARI: "... Why do you ask?"
CHISATO: "Sakura's emotions are very strong..."
CHISATO: "So strong that she might succeed in taking Mika away from us."
YUKARI: "To be entirely honest... I'm not sure myself, if I'm attached enough to Mika to bring her back."
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "I guess you could say that I care a little bit more for her now than I did back when this school term started, but..."
YUKARI: "The extent of that might be similar to a friend from middle school that you forget immediately once you stop meeting each other..."
CHISATO: "I see..."
YUKARI: "Well, I do plan on doing everything I can to bring her back, though."
YUKARI: "I don't want to have any regrets."
CHISATO: "......"
CHISATO: "Just do your best, Yukari."
YUKARI: "Yeah, I will."
YUKARI: "Well, first and foremost we'll need to find either Mika or Sakura."
CHISATO: "Yes..."
YUKARI: "Let's go."
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "What's wrong?"
CHISATO: "Yukari... Haven't we been here before?"
YUKARI: "What?"
YUKARI: "Really...?"
CHISATO: "Perhaps we took a wrong turn somewhere?"
YUKARI: "We've been following one straight path all this time! How could we have taken a wrong turn?!"
CHISATO: "Yeah... I guess that's true..."
YUKARI: "Either way, standing around dumbfounded won't get us anywhere. Let's go on."
CHISATO: "Yukari, something is definitely wrong!"
CHISATO: "We were here just a while ago! I'm sure of it!"
YUKARI: "But... As I said, we've been following one straight path, haven't we?"
YUKARI: "There's no way we could have taken a wrong turn that would bring us back to where we've been already!"
CHISATO: "But it feels like we're not getting forward at all!"
YUKARI: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
YUKARI: "We can't go back until we've found Mika, can we?"
CHISATO: "It... It might be best, if we return to the entrance once."
YUKARI: "You want to go all the way back from here?"
CHISATO: "Yes... Something tells me that right now we won't be able to reach the place where Mika is..."
YUKARI: "......"
YUKARI: "Hey, Chisato... Was there something like this on our way here...?"
CHISATO: "No..."
YUKARI: "Seems like we can't go back to where we came from, huh..."
CHISATO: "Yes..."
YUKARI: (There is someone...!)
CHISATO: "Uhm... We apologise for intruding like this..."
CHISATO: "Excuse us...?"
YUKARI: (He's not listening!)
CHISATO: (it seems more fitting to say that he CANNOT actually hear us.)
YUKARI: (... What do you mean by that?)
CHISATO: (He seems deeply focused... Like... As if his only thought was that his music may not be interrupted.)
YUKARI: (......)
A: "Let's just ignore him and leave." B: "Let's try to talk to him again."
