Hatsumi
I'm so small. Dad and Mum are both young too.

Hatsumi
Futaba...hehe, this is when we first got that toy piano. Whenever I was playing, she'd always say she wanted to play together, didn't she?

Hatsumi
This is...when we went to the beach. Haha, Futaba tried to touch a jellyfish and caused a huge commotion.

Hatsumi
This photo is...the park. I'm reading a book to Futaba...

Hatsumi's Voice
When we were in elementary school, Futaba and I would always play together at the park when Dad and Mum were busy at the restaurant.

Futaba
~♪

Hatsumi
Hm? Futaba, did you borrow another book from the library today?

Futaba
Yeah! 'The Little Mermaid'! Onee-chan, read it, read it!

Hatsumi
Haha, alright. Here, let me have it.

Hatsumi
'Now, little mermaid. If you drink this potion, that tail will become legs that can walk on land. But in exchange, you'll lose that beautiful voice of yours.'

Futaba
Gulp...

Hatsumi
'That's...the prince. I can finally face you at the same eye level! Amazing...like a dream...'

Futaba
...!

Hatsumi
'No! Prince! It was me who saved you! It was me! ...If only I could speak, you'd understand.'

Hatsumi
The mermaid who became foam rose upward and became a wind spirit. The wind blowing into the prince's room might also be...

Hatsumi
How was that? Futaba.

Futaba
The little mermaid was so sad...but...

Hatsumi
But?

Futaba
I wanted Onee-chan to change the story in that way you like, like always. Like, even after becoming foam, she still loved the prince forever, or something.

Futaba
Or the prince realizes halfway through that the mermaid saved him and tries to save the mermaid! I love those kinds of stories from Onee-chan!

Hatsumi
You're harsh. But I see...certainly fresh and interesting. Your opinions are always helpful.

Futaba
Because Onee-chan's stories are always interesting! You'll definitely become an amazing actor or playwright in the future!

Hatsumi
...You think so? The other day when I was doing a solo performance at school, I added too many changes and the teacher watching looked puzzled.

Futaba
But Onee-chan thought it was good, right? If Onee-chan thinks it's interesting, then Futaba thinks you should do it that way!

Hatsumi
I see...thank you, Futaba. Still...an amazing actor, I wonder if I can become one?

Futaba
Onee-chan can definitely become one. You can create amazing stages. Definitely.

Hatsumi
...Hehe, definitely? If you say so, then there's no doubt! I have to work hard...so your words don't become a lie.

Hatsumi
If you were by my side, I could surely accomplish great things. Together with Futaba...back then, I believed in that kind of future.
