Every week, her memories of her friends reset.
The first time I was told, I couldn't understand.
But...
Fujimiya-san...
Wh-What is it?
After we've gotten so close, is our relationship just going to end?
I refuse to accept that.
So, just one more time...
No, I'll start over as many times as it takes...
With the same words.
I'd like for us to be friends!
Wh-Where is this coming from?
What's up, Hase?
Did something happen with you and Fujimiya-san?
#2 How to Spend Time with Friends.
How long are you going to sulk?
Lunch is ending soon.
It's no use. She hates me.
I won't deny that.
Deny it!
No one just asks someone to be their friend...
I'd definitely turn you down.
In fact, after that, I'd stay away.
But despite that, we became friends last week.
Then why don't you try a little harder?
That's all I can say.
Shogo, you're so cold!
Fujimiya Kaori
isn't as cold as everyone thinks, right?
Believe the person you were last week.
Shogo...
I'll be back!
One-two, two-two, three-two, four-two...
I'm home!
Welcome home. Is a hotpot all right for dinner?
Your father requested it.
Sure, but it isn't really hotpot season.
I suppose not...
Hey, Mom...
What is it?
Last week, did I mention anything about school?
You didn't say anything. Why?
I don't remember what I did during lunch.
For the whole week?
Tuesday
Fujimiya-san...
What is it?
Mind if I eat lunch here again?
Sorry about yesterday.
I was told I shouldn't talk to you in the classroom...
By whom?
By you.
You said I could eat lunch with you here, but I had to promise you that.
Then, did we eat here together all last week?
You don't believe me?
Of course you don't.
You don't remember.
Each week, your memories of those you're close to reset, right?
How did you know?
You told me last week.
I told you that?
Yeah.
Of course, that's why you also told me not to talk to you anymore...
But you still...
Fujimiya-san...
So that's what happened!
Yeah.
You believe me?
Yeah! I don't remember anything about lunch from last week.
And even though I'm sure we must have met since changing classes,
I don't remember you at all.
That probably means that you were my friend last week.
Your friend?
Yeah.
Then does that mean it's okay if I keep eating lunch with you?
Of course.
All right!
Um, I'm Fujimiya Kaori.
It's nice to meet you.
Eh?
H-Huh?
That was kind of weird, huh?
Oh, no, not at all!
I'm Hase Yuki. Nice to meet you.
Oh, right.
We should eat.
Yeah.
I'm so tired...
You got really into it.
I was up against volleyball club members!
Eh?
I guess she's still anxious.
She doesn't remember me, after all.
Hey.
I wonder if there's anything I could do...
Hey...
Ow! What was that for?!
They scored.
Huh? O-Oh, thanks.
Hey! Hase!
Crap!
Hase, sorry!
What's wrong?
Hase-kun received the ball with his face.
That's gotta hurt...
Hey, are you all right?
They just scored a point.
Don't forget to add it.
That's it!
Wednesday
A diary?
Yeah!
Try recording what you did and how you felt on that day,
and then you can read it later.
That way, maybe your memories will return.
I don't know if that'll work.
Besides, in the past I...
It'll be fine!
Just try writing it down!
I'm sure it'll be better than doing nothing.
Y-You're right.
Then, I'll keep a diary.
Let's see... Pen, pen...
Huh? You're starting now?
Yeah, I should write it down before I forget.
Let's see...
"I had lunch with my friend, Hase-kun.
Hase-kun had"...
What kind of sandwich is that?
This?
It's an egg bun.
An egg bun?
Yeah, it's the most popular bun at the store.
What's inside?
Um, eggs and... some kind of vegetables?
Looks like it has coleslaw and tartar sauce...
"Hase-kun had an egg bun.
An egg bun is"...
You're writing all that?
Okay.
Thursday
Hase, solve this.
That's impossible.
I could say the same.
Try it.
Can I have a hint?
Use the formula.
I know that.
I was wondering which formula.
The formula I taught you five minutes ago.
Yes, but it's just that... You know...
She's writing that, too?
Sorry.
On the way home, want to go for karaoke?
Sure.
I wonder if they have any new songs.
Come check out our store!
We're having an opening sale.
Thank you.
This is so good!
It is! It's great!
Friday
Hase-kun, look.
A new crêpe place opened.
They're having an opening sale. Don't they look delicious?
Huh? Oh, right.
Yeah, they do.
You showed me a flyer last week,
and I've been wanting to go.
I showed you this last week?
Yeah.
Sorry. It's no fun to talk about the same things, huh?
Not at all! I don't mind!
Oh, um...
I know...
After school, why don't we get crêpes?
Eh?
I think I'd be a little embarrassed if we were seen together.
Really? That's too bad.
But Sunday...
Really?
Huh? Yeah, I'm not doing anything.
I'm game if you are...
Of course I am!
Add Event Crêpes Place: Start time: End time: Notification: Off
Okay! This Sunday, we'll get crêpes!
Is one o'clock okay?
Yeah.
Now that I think about it, isn't this a date?!
I'm so nervous...
Hase-kun?
G-Good morning.
You're early.
Y-Yeah.
I thought you might not be used to meeting up with people,
so I wanted to be here first...
Oh, but it was my own decision.
Thanks for waiting for me.
I didn't want to make you wait, so I came early, too...
Hase-kun?
Oh... That's totally fine.
Shall we go?
Yeah.
Do you not have crêpes often?
I go all the time with my parents.
But this is my first time with a friend, so I'm nervous.
I'm nervous for another reason.
Huh?
Nothing.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd be happy to go again.
Thanks.
Anyway, which are you going to get?
I think I could eat two.
Probably strawberries and whipped cream.
But blueberry cheesecake is good, too...
Why don't you have two, then?
No way.
Open 9:30-22:00 Closed 1st and 3rd Sunday
Sorry! And I'm the one who invited you...
I should have looked it up.
No, it isn't your fault...
I'm the one who showed you the flyer.
But now we don't have anything to do.
This is a problem...
Yeah.
I know! Why don't we go to karaoke?
You've never been before, right?
I'd love to!
Karaoke BIG Plaza
So many rooms...
We're in 302. That's over here.
It's so dark!
Where are the lights?
Oh, you can adjust them with this.
This is amazing.
So people create a mood like this to sing?
No, that was a mistake...
What's this?
You use this machine to search for the song you want to sing.
Okay...
Wow, there are all kinds of songs!
Hase-kun, sing something.
I guess I should sing first.
And select...
Selection Saved
Don't do that.
You aren't supposed to use these?
You are... You are, but not right now.
I see, too bad.
Sorry.
You're so good, Fujimiya-san!
I was really nervous...
Yeah, so was I, for some reason.
It's so hot!
Should we take a break?
Karaoke's pretty hard on you, huh?
If you aren't used to it, probably so.
But we only have so much time.
Oh, you're right.
We'd better sing!
Okay, let's keep entering songs!
Play (Kanade)
Yeah!
I had so much fun today.
Let's go to karaoke again sometime.
Sure.
But tomorrow, this memory will also disappear.
I wish it wouldn't...
Fujimiya-san...
But it won't be like last week.
I have my diary.
I'll read everything before school tomorrow.
This time, we'll be friends before you talk to me, so...
So you don't have to talk to me in the classroom.
Everyone would be watching, anyway.
Let's meet on the roof!
Right... You have your diary this time.
Yeah.
To be honest, I was scared about Monday.
It takes courage to talk to someone
who doesn't know you.
I thought that if our first interaction didn't go well, you'd hate me.
But with your diary,
even if you don't remember everything,
it isn't like you won't know me at all.
Even that much makes me really happy.
Sorry, Hase-kun.
It isn't your fault...
It's all right.
If you're pessimistic,
sometimes things that should have worked out don't.
We should stay positive about this!
Positive...
Yeah, you're right.
Next stop, Seiseki-Sakuragaoka.
We're here. I need to get off.
Ah, see you later.
Hey, Hase-kun...
Tomorrow, tell me all about today.
Your classmate, Hase Yuki-kun, is your friend.
Read the diary on your desk!
Fujimiya-san?
Um, h-hello.
Fujimiya-san, how's your memory?
Eh? O-Oh, right.
I d-don't remember everything, but...
Then, you remember some of it?
M-Maybe a little...
Really? That's great...
I'm the one who suggested the diary.
If it hadn't worked, I don't know what I'd have done.
Um, Hase-kun?
Thank you for everything.
For last week and the week before.
I haven't done much.
No, I can tell from reading my diary.
I've written so much about you.
About all the things we talked about.
Is that an egg bun?
Correct!
In my diary, I sound so happy.
I had a lot of fun with you.
You remember how you felt, too?
Yeah, I had so much fun.
God, please...
It was so much fun.
It was fun...
It was fun... But...
Huh?
Eh? Sorry, it's nothing...
M-Maybe they're tears of joy.
You know, since my memories have never returned before.
I'm so happy they did this time...
Fujimiya-san...
I really am happy...
I'm sorry!
Hase-kun?
I'm really sorry.
Why are you apologizing? I'm happy.
You don't actually remember anything, do you?
I'm sorry for making you lie...
But you don't need to force yourself anymore.
You don't need to force yourself to be my friend.
I was being very selfish.
I was only thinking of myself...
Th-That isn't true!
You suggested I keep a diary because you were thinking of me.
That was for myself, too.
I wanted to skip the step of asking you to be my friend.
I'm such an idiot...
There's no way I could skip all the important steps
and suddenly be friends like before.
If I'd given it some thought, I'd have known that.
On top of that, I said all those things that put pressure on you...
I'm such an idiot!
I'm sorry for pushing you so hard, Fujimiya-san.
Just coming to the roof must have been scary.
I'm really sorry.
Okay! I'll write it in my diary!
Huh?
Let's see...
"Hase-kun is selfish and unfair.
He only told me I should keep a diary to make things easier on himself.
But he realized I was forcing myself, and he apologized immediately.
Actually, he's a wonderful person."
I have to write everything down!
Fujimiya-san...
U-Um, if you don't mind, would you be my friend again?
Guess it can't be helped.
Shall we eat?
Yeah.
Friends of Friends.
