[After meeting Shiroi, Yuichi and Ayu are walking with her down a path.]
AyuLooks like you sure did a lot of shopping.
Well, I don't really get out of the house very often, so when I do I try to stock up.
I don't have any issues with that, as long as you pay for everything you're getting.
Ayu
Yuichi, I don't appreciate you making me sound like hardened criminal.
Just telling the truth here.
Ayu
I am a good person!
Well, that's weird, because good people don't steal things.
Ayu
Uguu. [Giggles] This reminds me when we were kids. You used to always have fun giving me a hard time about this kind of stuff. It must have been destiny that brought us back together like this.
Or maybe you just keep on turning up like a bad cough.
Ayu
[To Shiori] So hey, what grade are you in at school?
Ayu
Oh? You're a year younger than me, huh?
Huh?! You can't possibly be in the same grade as I am, because I thought that you...I thought for certain that you-
Ayu
Because you thought what?
You know, I'd rather not say.
Well uh, my house is right over there, so I'm gonna...
Ayu
Right! Guess we'll see you later.
Hey! Hold on a sec! [Shiori stops and turns her head around.] Could you please tell us how to get back to town?
[Yuichi is on his way to the supermarket.]
Now to get those oden ingredients....
[Ayu is running towards Yuichi.]
Ayu
Get out of the way! Move it! [Yuichi acknowledges Ayu.] Please move or I'll hit you!
Okay! Move toward the hand you hold chopsticks!
[Yuichi and Ayu both move in the same direction, causing Ayu to run into Yuichi and fall on the ground.]
Ayu
[Rubbing her nose] Uguu...
Why didn't you dodge the other way?
Ayu
Uguu...I'm left-handed...
Alright, now that's just ridiculous.
Ayu
[Grabs Yuichi's hand and takes him along.] Come on! We gotta run!
Oh my god, you didn't do it again?!
Ayu
Shut up and keep running!
[Yuichi and Ayu meet up again in town.]
Ayu
Ugū...
Ayu
Ugū, you mimicked me again!
Ayu
[about to cry] You meanie!
Ayu
Eh?
I couldn't master its usage. "Ugū" belongs solely to you.
[At the end of the day, Yuichi and Ayu have tried to search for something she has lost, but failed.]
If you have a cell phone or something, can you give me your number?
Ayu
What's a cell phone?
Are you seriously asking me that?
Ayu
Yeah.
Ayu
Is a cellular telephone something like a telephone?
Yeah, something like that.
Ayu
I see. I learned something today.
[Ayu and Makoto talk together alone for the first time.]
Ayu
[After a brief silence.] I know!
Ayu
Do you want one? A taiyaki.
Ayu
It's a little cold, but if you want...
[Makoto takes the taiyaki from Ayu and takes a bite] It's sweet.
Ayu
You don't like sweet things?
But it's good! [The two girls smile and laugh and Makoto takes a couple more bites; Yuichi comes back]
You'll get fat, you know.
[Yuichi and Ayu are parting ways for the day]
See ya. [Waves and starts walking away]
Ayu
Yep. Bye bye. [Waves]
[Notices he's being followed and turns around to find Ayu standing there] See ya. [Waves and starts walking away]
Ayu
Yep. Bye bye. [Waves]
[Ayu still follows him; Yuichi stops and turns around] Why are you following me?
Ayu
[Short pause; looks down at ground and blushes slightly] Because the dark street's scary.
[Yuichi is walking home from school when Ayu tackles him to the ground from behind.]
Ayu
Yuichi-kun! [They both fall down into a pile of snow] Um...[laughs] You surprised me, falling over all of a sudden. Um...I'm sorry.
I got it, so get off of me.
[Yuichi is walking home with Nayuki from school and they run into Ayu.]
Just to be sure, do you own a dress?
Ayu
A dress? Why?
What were you listening to? I said a dress for a dance festival.
Ayu
I don't understand.
You're the last hope I had. At this rate, you'll always stay an "uguu".
Yuichi, if you ask like that, you'll only confuse her more.
Ayu
That's right. It's been a while since we last met, and what's with the strange question right off the bat?
And it was very rude, too.
Ayu
Yeah, yeah, Yuichi-kun, you're really rude.
Nayuki and Ayu: Right? [Short pause] Who are you?
[Yuichi and Ayu outside at night talking about Nayuki.]
Ayu
I wonder if I'll be as beautiful as Nayuki-san when I grow up.
Nayuki is as old as we are.
Ayu
Eh?! Ugū, what a shock.
Don't worry about it. You have your own merits.
Ayu
Like what?!
You can get on the train with children's fare.
Ayu
That doesn't make me happy at all!
You can wear clothes from when you were small, no matter how many years pass.
Ayu
I'm growing a little!
It's not embarrassing to order the kid's meal.
Ayu
That's actually kind of good.
So don't let it worry you.
Ayu
It does!
[Yuichi and Ayu are outside on Yuichi's balcony.]
Ayu
Hey, your cousin Nayuki's really pretty.
What made you think of that?
Ayu
I've been thinking of it for a while. I've felt that way ever since I first met her. She's pretty and she's nice. I think she's a beautiful person.
Seriously? I only see how absent-minded she is every day, so I don't really get that.
Ayu
You know, I hope that someday I can be as beautiful and nice a person as Nayuki is.
She's the exact same age as us. You know that, right?
Ayu
[Shocked] What...? Really?
Don't sweat stuff like that. I'm sure you probably have a few good points, too.
Ayu
Good points like what?
You can ride the train with the children's fare.
Ayu
[Angry] That's not a good thing!
You can wear the same clothes you did when you were eleven.
Ayu
[Still angry] I've grown a little since then!
Nobody looks at you funny when you order off the children's menu.
Ayu
You know, you really have a good point there.
See? There's nothing to stress about.
Ayu
[Angry] I'm not stressing!
[Yuichi wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and sees Ayu in the hallway.]
Ayu
[Screams] Oh, it's just you.
What are you so jumpy for? You think I was some kind of spooky ghost or something?
Ayu
[Waving arms frantically] NO! NO! DON'T DO THAT!
Ayu
Don't you know when you talk about ghosts, you summon them to come to them! And that's why you're never supposed talk about ghosts!
Okay, and how many times do you think you just said the word "ghost"?
Ayu
[Yelps] [Worryingly] What have I done? What's gonna happen to me?
Oh, come on worrywart, nothing's gonna happen. By the way, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?
Ayu
I-I uh...
You were looking for that thing you lost, weren't you?
Ayu
[Yelling] I was not!
[Yuichi brought Ayu along to meet Mai at night at school, but now he wants her to go home.]
Ayu
You're cruel to make me go back alone when you made me come!
I have to be with Mai, so sorry.
Ayu
Ugū, I don't have the courage.
If you stay here, ghosts will show up.
Ayu
Ugū!
Stand up straight. You're an adult aren't you?
Ayu
It's not fair to say that only at times like this.
Ayu
You're not making any sense!
[Yuichi has just come home from school and asks Ayu a question.]
Ayu
Welcome back, Yuichi-kun.
Hey, how was Akiko-san's jam?
Ayu
[Short pause and now nervous] That was something other than "food".
[Makes a quick smirk] So you thought so, too.
Ayu
[Shocked and close to tears] So you knew! Ugū, you could have told me.
But it looks to be good for one's health. It could work as an anti-cancer drug.
Ayu
Ugū!
[Yuichi and Ayu are walking through the hospital and run into Shiori.]
Shiori. [Shiori turns and and sees them]
Ayu
[Ayu runs up to Shiori with Yuichi close behind] It's been a while!
Visiting a friend. There is a saying: "Ugū never gets sick." [This is a joke on the actual phrase "Idiots never get sick."]
Ayu
There is no such saying!
