Everyone......

StaffWhen you're ready to order, just press the button on the table~

TakiHey...

AnonW-Wait! Don't say anything!

RānaParfait and soba.

Tomori......

TomoriAh! That chimney... is a different color.

Rāna?

SoyoI remember playing spot-the-difference games like this.

Anon......

AnonThis isn't how it was supposed to go~!

A Few Days Ago

Chihaya's Home - Anon's Room

AnonThis place is kind of plain... And this one doesn't have matcha parfaits...

AnonI already had to give up on the limo because everything was booked, so at least let me find a decent-looking restaurant...!

AnonOh, this place looks good! Let's see the reviews...

AnonWow, amazing! A bunch of people gave it full marks!

AnonWait, isn't this place perfect!? Alright, it's decided! "Found the place~! Now for the meeting spot..."

On the Day

Meeting Place

AnonOkay? This is going on social media, so give me your "the party's about to start!" faces!

TakiSo, what happened to the limo and the dress code?

AnonThat was, you know, the "wouldn't it be amazing if we could" part! For today, let's just be happy with the restaurant!

TakiHappy with it? This was all your idea.

SoyoSo this time, it's a selfie stick.

AnonYeah, I tried using a tripod before, but it kinda failed. This way, I can snap pics whenever I want!

AnonCome on, Tomorin, Rāna-chan, scoot in closer! You're not in the shot!

TomoriO-Okay...

Rāna?

AnonOkay, here we go~! Three, two, one...

RānaOh, a cat.

AnonAww, Rāna-chan, you're not looking at the camera at all~!

SoyoDid the shutter even go off...?

AnonHuh, really? That's weird... Oh!

AnonNo way! It was in video mode~! One more time! We're doing that again!

TakiIt's almost time for our reservation.

AnonHuh...? I was just about to get my revenge shot. Oh well, I'll send the video for now.

AnonAlright, let's finally head to the restaurant! Everyone, follow me~!

In Front of the Restaurant

Taki"We regret to inform you that we will be closing permanently..."

AnonWhat~~~!? That wasn't on the reservation website~!

SoyoThe notice is dated just three days ago, so maybe something happened?

AnonNo way~! I even asked them for a surprise cake!

TomoriThe restaurant's closed...?

AnonYeah, looks like it... Oh no, what do we do~!

RānaIs it over?

AnonNo, it's too early to give up! There has to be somewhere! Somewhere that's open!

Tomori......

SoyoAnd after all that... we couldn't find anywhere, so now we're at a regular family restaurant. Huh.

TakiIsn't this fine? Anon is the only one who wanted a fancy restaurant anyway.

AnonSorry, Tomorin. This was supposed to be our special anniversary party...

AnonBut now it's just a regular family restaurant... Aren't you disappointed?

TomoriAh... the shape of the ribbon...!

SoyoTomori-chan...?

TomoriAh!

AnonTomorin?

TomoriUm, sorry.

AnonIt's totally fine~

RānaI'm hungry.

AnonYeah~ Maybe we should order some food too. We got free refills, right? I'll go grab some drinks first!

SoyoOh, I'll go too.

RānaMm.

SoyoThank you, Rāna-chan.

AnonSoyorin's coming with me, so maybe we should just grab drinks for everyone. What do you guys want?

SoyoWe're ordering food anyway, so water should be fine for now.

AnonOh, true. Tomorin always gets water anyway.

AnonI can carry three.

SoyoAre you sure you won't drop them?

AnonI play guitar, so I can handle it.

SoyoWhat are you talking about?

RānaRikki, parfait and soba.

TakiI'll pass it to you after this, so choose it yourself.

RānaI don't know how.

TakiOh geez... Come over here.

RānaMm.

TakiTap this tab, and it'll show rice dishes and noodles. Zaru soba is... here. This one. One serving?

RānaMm.

TakiThen enter the number of servings here... and tap this button to order.

RānaWhat about the parfait?

TakiHuh, you're ordering that now...?

RānaYeah.

TakiWell, fine. I showed you how to do it, so next time do it yourself.

RānaHmm.

AnonI brought the drinks. Water was fine for everyone, right?

RānaI want tea.

AnonI knew you'd say that! So I brought tea for you too!

TakiAren't you spoiling her?

AnonNo way, I'm just being considerate.

SoyoHere you go, Tomori-chan.

TomoriThank you...

Tomori(It looks similar... but it's different.)

AnonOh, Tomorin. Did you finish the spot-the-difference game?

TomoriHuh...? Yeah.

AnonOh~ Nice job~

RānaWhich one's the right one?

AnonHuh? The right one? Oh, you mean the spot-the-difference game?

AnonI'm not sure... I never really thought about it.

Tomori......

SoyoMaybe there isn't one. I don't think whoever made it thought that far ahead.

AnonYeah, probably. It's not really about which one's wrong. It's more like finding the differences between two pictures.

TomoriWhen someone says... something is wrong...

Taki?

TomoriWhat happens... then?

TomoriIs it... a bad thing?

TakiRight or wrong... I think those are just things other people decide for themselves.

AnonWow, Rikki, that was actually kind of deep!

TakiWhat?

AnonBut yeah, maybe you're right. It's not like we know what the right answer is either.

SoyoWe made a mistake today, too.

AnonThat wasn't a mistake. That was bad luck.

Tomori......

SoyoEven if it was a mistake, if it brought us here to this family restaurant, maybe that makes today right enough.

Tomori...!

AnonWait, Soyorin, does that mean you actually liked the party? Wanna try again?

SoyoIf we do, I don't think I'll leave it to you next time, Anon-chan.

TakiAnd if we have time for that, maybe we should be practicing.

RānaLet's play.

AnonWe can party a little too, can't we~?

Tomori......

TomoriMistakes... or not mistakes...

TomoriI still don't really know...

TomoriBut I want to keep moving forward like this...

TomoriBecause that's all I can do.

Anon、Soyo、Taki、Rāna......

TomoriLet's do all of it.

TomoriThe parties, and the band. Together.

TomoriForever... all of us...!
