CHIKA: "A balloon release?"

AYUMU: "The couple and all the guests are going to let them fly together at the same time.
It symbolizes the couple's happiness reaching as far as the heavens."

CHIKA: "Wow, that's wonderful! I can't wait to do it!"

MAKI: "Looks like you've got some knowledge of your own, Ayumu. Have you done this before?"

AYUMU: "N-No... I've just done research into what I'd do if I had my own wedding..."

MAKI: *Giggle* "I see."

AKI: "...Yeah."

RIN: "You're so cute, Ayumu!"

AYUMU: "Y-You think? I'm happy to hear you say that, Rin, but it's kind of embarrassing..."

*Sigh* 

That's true...

Ayu's desire to find love and get married one day is undeniable.

Good for her. But as her closest friend and confidant, the thought of her leaving my side, starting her own family with another man is...uncomfortable.

For the longest time, since kindergarten, I've been her closest male friend, and...for someone else to take that place is just... I don't know.

I can't bear the thought of losing my best friend like that, especially after all the memories we've made together. I wish things could stay the way they are forever.

The day we spent together at Venus Fort is still fresh in my mind, and the memory of her laughing and enjoying herself still warms my heart.

At the altar, I remember what she told me...
