Wako's Heart

You are standing in the middle of the main street of a sizable downtown area.

The early morning sun hangs low in the east. The air is salty and fresh – and oh man is your nose sharp! You can smell the people who came in here with you from yards away! Other stuff smells that strong, too! There is a spring breeze in the air. How do you know it’s spring? You just do. It’s the vibe here. Tropical trees and flowers grow in window boxes and small gardens. There are fairly standard shops (a movie theater! A book store! Small clothing boutiques! And so on), with trucks, cars, and bicycles parked at the curbs. There are no people or animals in sight, but there’s birdsong hanging in the air. It seems to be coming in every direction.

Oh. And you’re dressed like stripper clowns.

[ A memory is beaming into your heads!

This memory takes place in this very kitchen. Wako is in the kitchen with two boys, and they’re chatting.

Wako: So, what's the plan?
Takuto: We're not good enough to bake a cake, but I think we can handle curry.
Sugata: Sit down. You're the guest of honor.
Wako: Wow, you two look great in aprons!

The two boys start cooking, and the talking continues.

Sugata: Takuto, did you have a girlfriend in middle school?
Takuto: I didn't go out with anyone.
Wako: But did you like anyone?
Takuto: What's with all the questions?
Wako: You must have been popular. I bet you made all the girls cry.

Suddenly, Sugata makes an agonized noise and looks like he’s in extreme pain.

Takuto: What's wrong?
Sugata: It hurts...
Wako: Wow, I've never seen you cry, Sugata!

Takuto snaps a picture with a small camera.

Takuto: I borrowed this camera from Hiroshi. Didn't think I'd use it here... This picture's a keeper!
Wako, wide-eyed: Wow!
Takuto: Look, Wako!
Sugata: Pretty bold move for a freeloader...
Takuto: Hey, those onions aren't supposed to go in yet! Weren't the carrots and stuff going in in a bit? You didn't even cut them?
Sugata: Even onions must be punished for making an innocent person cry.
Takuto: You're not innocent, you dumped whole onions in the pot!
Sugata: I object! ]

The memory blurs slightly, and moves to a different room. Wako is sitting at the head of a long table in an elegant dining room with beautiful big windows. The two boys are standing on either side of her.

Takuto, handing over an old-looking pocket watch: And this is for you, too.
Wako: Isn't this watch...
Takuto: All my cash went up in the fire. This is all I've got for a present.

Wako opens the pocketwatch. There’s a picture of a young woman with an umbrella.

Takuto: It's my mom.
Wako: Isn't this watch really important to you?
Takuto: That's why I want you to have it. Keep it with you from now on.

Wako blushes.

Takuto: What about you, Sugata?
Sugata: I haven't brought a present.
Wako: It's the thought that counts.
Takuto: Well then. This is Sugata's present.

Takuto places a knife in front of Wako.

Sugata: When did you...
Takuto: This is the knife Sugata has always carried to protect you. It's his devotion to you.
Wako: So you got me an old watch and a creepy knife.
Sugata: They're pretty awful presents.
Wako, smiling: They're the best presents. Thank you so much. I'll treasure them.

Then they go to a photobooth and take dumb pictures that make fun of Sugata’s onion issues. ]

T-That's Wako's fault!!

[ Back in the hallway! The chains on the auditorium door look... severely rusted now. ]

[Oh. That wasn't like that before, was it? What happens if I decided to tug on it?]

[ It's still heavy. And locked. ]

[...wow...that's...cute...]

Oh, so this is her heart? If you already knew the answer, you shouldn't have bothered asking!

Heh. It's a lot better with sound.

You shouldn't be wearing pants either!! Why do you get to wear shorts and I don't?!

[well, still can't go this way I guess although now my curiosity is piqued. Lets try room 1B.]

I wonder~ Maybe she's more interested in you~

Either that or she likes me more!

You've seen that before?

. . . Uhhh. If it's like that, I dunno what'd be worse...

A-Anyway! Are you gonna press a button or not? We're wasting time! Maybe she's in trouble!

[You’re in a large schoolroom with orderly desks. The opposite wall is composed entirely of windows, with a walkway beyond.

There is a rotary phone ringing on the teacher’s desk. ]

The blue-haired one let me see it.

[Should he answer it? Should he leave it? Which would be worse?

Well.

I guess it doesn't hurt to answer it.]

[digesting that]

Carrots, then?

[ Ruri! says the voice on the phone. It’s Wako’s voice. Ruri, I’ve had the longest day! ]

[snickers and examines vending machine, and then presses the button for one of the fruit juices]

...how would this help with that?

Sure. Let's do that.

[ A bottle drops. Fruit juice is pouring out of the spout. ]

[do I even know what carrots are]

[all the scrounging]

It's here and it works, so it's gotta be for a reason, right?

[finally takes a sip from his soda!]
