Disc 2, Track 5 - A Hypothetical Star you Can't See
[SCENE: Katsuragi Chikagi's bedroom. Katsuragi Chikagi is sleeping in her bed. Her older sister
Chikagi is trying to wake her up.]
Chidori: Chikagi. Chikagi.
Katsuragi: Mhhmmm. Mmmn. Eehhh. [Some of her covers are dragged off by Chidori.]
Chidori: Get up right now, ya putz!
Katsuragi: Wuuuoooaaaah!
Chidori: (dusting off her hands) Good morning, my sister. And if you don't wake up, I'm gonna eat your breakfast.
Katsuragi: (dazed) This is . . . my room. And it's morning.
Chidori: I knew you were tired because of your part-time job, but I didn't think you'd fall asleep in front of the genkan.
It was hard to drag you to your bed.
Katsuragi: (stirs, jumps up)
Chidori: I was joking earlier. So if you don't hurry, breakfast will . . . Chikagi? Hey.
Katsuragi: (woozy) I had a really strange dream!
[LATER]
[SCENE: front of the Kagamisaki High School. Students ride on bicycles or walk past the entrance to the school.
Girl A: I heard that they're going to close off that park. Not good.
Girl B: I heard that a truck driver fell asleep during work and crashed into it. How terrible.
Girl C: I heard that a gas canister being stored underground somehow blew up. It's bad.
Girl A x B X C: It's terrible!
[Riding up on her bike, Katsuragi Chikagi arrives.]
Katsuragi: Coincidences are scary.
[LATER]
Katsuragi: (walking outside the school) Maybe that really wasn't a dream. Sure, it was mysterious but it felt like I was really looking at it.
And the white child that came from the sky fought the child of dark and ruined the park. Yeah right. Who'd believe that if
I told them? Even if I wanted to tell them, I could only use words. Didn't Chidori say that?
[Hibino rushes up and hugs her.]
Hibino: Good morning, Chika-chan. [Chikagi doesn't resist and just leans into the hug.]
Eh? That's not the response I expected from you.
Katsuragi: Yeah. Okay.
Hibino: (lets Katsuragi go, darts around her) Chika-chan? Are you okay? Does it hurt somewhere?
You're not hurt, are you? Are you maybe sick?
Katsuragi: (embarrassed) No, nothing like that. I'm fine. I'm fine! Hey, stay! Stay!
[The sound effect of a dog whining plays.]
Hibino: That's mean!
Katsuragi: Ah well. For a good person like you it'd be just a dream. Or a star you didn't see.
Or maybe you'd totally believe it.
Hibino: Ehh? What are you talking about?
Katsuragi: (laughs warmly) It's nothing. It really doesn't matter. But maybe I'll tell you someday.
Hibino: Eh - what's with that? I don't get it. I wanna hear it now!
Katsuragi: C'mon, don't get that mad. (laughs, then stops) Oh yeah.
Hibino: (irritated) What is it now?
Katsuragi: This is more important. Hey, Hibiki. When summer break gets here-
[Harriet runs and slams into Katsuragi at high speed.]
Katsuragi: Buwaa-ah-haaaaaa!
Hibino: Oh no! Chika-chan is done for!
Harriet: Hibino Hibiki.
Hibino: Haru-chan? Why'd you slam into her so early in the morning?
Harriet: I won't have food with you anymore.
Hibino: Eh?
Harriet: When you see me at school, don't call out to me anymore. I'll do the same for you.
All right. Goodbye.
Hibino: Oh. Waiiiit! (grabs Harriet)
Harriet: What're you doing?
Hibino: Here's your share of the bento! Take it.
Harriet: I just told you I wouldn't eat it!
Hibino: Yeah, you did.
Harriet: Even so, we won't be-
Hibino: But even if you won't be eating with us, you'll be glad to get this. (laughs)
Harriet: Hmmph! (grabs the container and runs off) You can't get me just with this!
I've already seen through your tricks! Try again next time!
Hibino: (laughs) Is that it? Once you have one bite, you'll want to have more.
It's the magic medicine inside, pyon.
Harriet: You said it! I won't get tricked now. I won't give you back this either. (runs off)
(her voice gets fainter as she gets farther away) I absolutely won't! Absolutelyyyyy!
Hibino: Oh yeah. Absolutely.
Katsuragi: Oooh. Ow.
Hibino: That's right! Chika-chan, are you all right? You're not injured now, are you?
Katsuragi: Tssssskkss. What's with that dummy now? If I see her again, I'm gonna kick her.
Hibino: No no no. Fighting is bad.
Katsuragi: (stands up, dusts herself off) Though it could be nice to invite her. Along with Mayuzumi-san,
Kureida, and Sunao.
Hibino: Chika-chan? Are you okay?
Katsuragi: Just fine. Okay, going back to what I was saying, we're going on summer break soon.
Hibino: Yes.
Katsuragi: (hesitant) Will you come over to my place and hang out?
Hibino: Uweee!
Katsuragi: (embarrassed) If you don't want to, you don't- look, it's a break and I couldn't think of another-
Hibino: (loud) I'll definitely come over to hang out! Oh, this'll be the first time I go to Chika-chan's house!
I wonder where we'll go? To the mountains, or to the ocean, or to a pool? I've been thinking about that!
Katsuragi: Going to those places? With me?
Hibino: Sure, and to our cafe as well. Master and Keitai-san will get lonely.
Katsuragi: Sorry, silly. You know I'm an indoor person. During the summer I stay inside and roll around with the air conditioner
blowing.
Hibino: Ehhh? That's no good! No good, no good, no good!
