Tatsuya: I'm sure your friends also noticed it.
Tatsuya: And that will not go unnoticed to your mother and I. After all, you're our child.
I smiled at my dad.
Ryota: Thanks for the advice, dad. I'm just.......taking my time.
Tatsuya: Well, that's good. You're still probably in the healing process or probably, already done there.
Tatsuya: Don't be afraid. Open this.....
He pokes at my chest, specifically, where my heart is located.
Tatsuya: Also, your past with Yuki, leave it in the past.
Tatsuya: This is the present, Ryota. If you're thinking that it's probably going to end up like what happened back then........
Tatsuya: Let me tell you this. It's a different girl, means a different scenario, a different romance.
Ryota: A different romance.
Tatsuya: She said in her letter to find someone new, right?
Tatsuya: She knew for the fact that she'll be gone from this world. She also knew that you'll have a hard time moving on from her death, that's why she said those words.
Tatsuya: To find someone new.
Ryota: Find someone new............?
Tatsuya: Yep. Well, what do you think?
Ryota: ............
Ryota: Yeah. I think you're right.
Tatsuya: Well, take it one step at a time. Don't rush things and take your time.
Tatsuya: Don't think about the destination, but the journey itself.
Ryota: I'll keep that mind.
Then he grabs the tray, places the strawberry parfait, the churros and the chocolate dip on the tray.
Tatsuya: Now, go out there! We still have work to do!
Ryota: Yeah.
I took the tray.
Ryota: Thanks, Dad!
I continued my work and served her order. Then the flow of orders continued to the point that I have to help at the counter now.
Then, Tohma-senpai and Sora arrived as I heard the bell and the two of them stepped inside.
Ryota: Welcome to Kaede Cafè, how may we help you?
Tohma: Um, Kaedehara, it's just us.
Tatsuya: Um, yeah? What do you want?
Tohma: Huh!? What!?
Sora: Um, senpai. His family is here, so addressing him by his family name means calling them all.
