Episode 1

(Narration)	Amidst the endless tapestry of time and space, this place was but one of a myriad of possibilities that may have existed.
(Narration)	This story is a little memory quietly tucked away in a corner of that possibility.

Madoka Kaname	Sorry for the wait, Sayaka! Here, I brought you a drink.
Sayaka Miki	Thanks, Madoka!
Sayaka Miki	And sorry for bursting in on you unannounced.
Sayaka Miki	Oh...
Madoka Kaname	What is it?
Sayaka Miki	What's with the photo album on your desk? Is it from when you were little?
Madoka Kaname	Yeah, I found it while tidying up yesterday.
Madoka Kaname	It made me so nostalgic looking through it.
Sayaka Miki	Yeah, I'll bet! Mind if I take a look?
Madoka Kaname	Sure! There are some of you in there.
(Narration)	*Rustle*
Sayaka Miki	Wait, is this baby you? Oh my gosh, you were so cute!
Madoka Kaname	Heheh...
Sayaka Miki	Look at you crawling around there!
Sayaka Miki	Yeah, my whole childhood is in this thing.
Madoka Kaname	Mom and Dad took so many photos, by the looks of things.

Sayaka Miki	Oh, is this...

Madoka Kaname	So these next photos are all from our elementary school days.
Madoka Kaname	Look, there's so many photos of you!
Sayaka Miki	We were always hanging out, even back then.
Sayaka Miki	And in these school event photos, there's so much of you, me, and Hitomi.
Sayaka Miki	Oh, the memories.
Madoka Kaname	I know, right? It makes me feel so happy to look back on these photos.
Madoka Kaname	I guess these ones were all after Tatsuya was born.
Madoka Kaname	Now there's four of us in the family photos.
Sayaka Miki	Yeah, you make such a good big sister.
Madoka Kaname	Heheh! You think so?
Madoka Kaname	And now it looks like we're moving on to middle school.
Sayaka Miki	Yeah, you're right! There's another one of me.
Madoka Kaname	There's a lot of photos from this era.
Sayaka Miki	There's even some of Hitomi and Kyosuke! I didn't expect that.
Madoka Kaname	Well, we're in the same class here. It makes sense that we'd be together.
Sayaka Miki	Right, Hitomi sits next to you, and I sit in front of Hitomi.
Sayaka Miki	I guess we've pretty much always been together.
Madoka Kaname	I just noticed, the seat in the front row is empty.
Sayaka Miki	Yeah, you're right.
Madoka Kaname	Maybe it's for a transfer student?
Sayaka Miki	Whoever's seat it is, I feel for them. That's the worst seat in class.
Madoka Kaname	It is?
Sayaka Miki	Yeah! I mean, you're in Saotome-sensei's firing line. She might start talking to you!
Madoka Kaname	Ah, like with Nakazawa?
Sayaka Miki	Yes, exactly!
Sayaka Miki	It's just about bearable, as long as she sticks to her love life. But she never does...
Madoka Kaname	Teehee!
Sayaka Miki	But it sounds like things are going well with Saotome-sensei's current partner.
Madoka Kaname	Good for her!

(Narration)	Several days later...
♪ Musical track: Postmeridie
Kazuko Saotome	I have something very important to discuss with you today, class.
Kazuko Saotome	Now, girls―I want you to remember...
Sayaka Miki	Guess it didn't work out.
Madoka Kaname	Yeah, guess it didn't.
Kazuko Saotome	Well, then!
Kazuko Saotome	Now that that's out of the way, let's welcome our new transfer student!
Madoka Kaname	Huh?
Sayaka Miki	There really is a transfer student...
Kazuko Saotome	Now, then! Why don't you tell your classmates about yourself?
Homura Akemi	My name is Homura Akemi. Pleased to meet you.
Sayaka Miki	And she got the front seat after all.
Madoka Kaname	I hope you were wrong about Saotome-sensei.
Sayaka Miki	Even Saotome-sensei wouldn't start badgering the new girl with impossible questions...
Sayaka Miki	Would she?
Madoka Kaname	Teehee, I guess you're right.
