Yuichi and Ayu in “Unfinished Business”

That doll I gave you...

This? [Ayu motions to the doll she's holding.]

That doll is actually not an ordinary doll. It's a mysterious doll that grants a wish for the owner. [Short pause.] You just thought I was lying, didn't you?

A little.

But it's true.

[Surprised] Really?

But it can only grant three wishes. Of course, it doesn't accept "I want more wishes." Put yourself in the shoes of the one that has to grant them.

Who's going to grant them?

Me.

[Short pause and then after a small laugh] I see.

So I can't grant wishes that are impossible for me, either. By the way, I'm poor. [Ayu laughes] Now, say any wish you have.

Then, here's my first wish. [Holds the doll as if she is praying to it.] Please don't forget about me. Even if you go home because winter vacation is over, please remember me from time to time. And think, "Right, I met a strange girl in that snow-covered city." That enough, so please don't forget. That's my first wish. [Looks up at Yuichi] Is that no good?

I told you that I'd do anything I can. I promise. I'll never forget about you, and I will come back to this city. When I do, let's eat taiyaki together.

Yep.

By the way, the taiyaki will be on me.

Yep, it's a promise!
