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.

Kirika Kure	So, whaddaya think? I prepped all this just for you.
Oriko Mikuni	It's, umm... Thank you.
Kirika Kure	Go on, sit down. Lemme take care of ya.
Oriko Mikuni	(Wow, I'm overwhelmed... This is so over the top...)
Kirika Kure	Everythin' my treat today.
Oriko Mikuni	You will? That's a first.
Kirika Kure	I just figured it'd be nice to give it my personal touch for once.
Kirika Kure	Plus, I wanted you to try out all my favorites.
Oriko Mikuni	All right, sure.
Kirika Kure	Great! You sit tight. This won't take long.
Kirika Kure	I'll start gettin' ready!
Oriko Mikuni	(Kirika's favorites, huh...)
Oriko Mikuni	(I bet it'll be a ton of sweet things.)
Oriko Mikuni	Haha.

(Narration) Oriko Mikuni	A big plate of pancakes and a pot of tea sit in the center of the table...
(Narration) Oriko Mikuni	...and the remaining space is packed with syrup, honey, sugar cubes, and jam.
Oriko Mikuni	(I had a feeling she'd go all out, but this blew away even my wildest expectations.)
Oriko Mikuni	(It's like all the sugary delights are the main course!)
Kirika Kure	I whipped up all this just for you.
Kirika Kure	Do you like it?
Oriko Mikuni	...I really appreciate the sentiment.
Oriko Mikuni	(Yes, I do appreciate the sentiment...)
Oriko Mikuni	(But all these sweet pancakes slathered in syrup...)
Oriko Mikuni	(...and tea full of sugar is a little much for me.)
Oriko Mikuni	(And what am I supposed to do with honey and jam on top of that?)
Kirika Kure	Hahah! She likes it!
Oriko Mikuni	(I can't go and spoil Kirika's good mood.)
Oriko Mikuni	(Maybe if I drop some subtle hints...)
Oriko Mikuni	It must have taken so much effort to put this together, right?
Oriko Mikuni	You didn't need to go to all this trouble.
Oriko Mikuni	(Surely she'll realize she went way overboard!)
Kirika Kure	Not at all!
Kirika Kure	No such thing as too much trouble when it comes to you, Oriko.
Kirika Kure	There's actually some brown sugar I wanted you to try, too...
Kirika Kure	...but the store was all out.
Oriko Mikuni	(You were going to cram MORE on the table?)
Oriko Mikuni	Haha. This is a feast for the eyes, but there's no way I can get through all this.
Oriko Mikuni	A less lavish spread would have been plenty.
Kirika Kure	Really?
Kirika Kure	I can't get enough sweet things, myself.
Oriko Mikuni	(It's no use. She isn't getting the message...)
Kirika Kure	Anyway, lemme pour you some tea.
Kirika Kure	Wanna try it with sugar first? There's granulated and crystallized.
Kirika Kure	I also recommend honey.
Kirika Kure	Oh! And a sugar-jam combo is hard to pass up, too.
Oriko Mikuni	Uhhh...
Oriko Mikuni	(She's just assuming I'll want to mix in multiple sweeteners!)
Kirika Kure	There's syrup, if you want.
Kirika Kure	I was gonna save that for the pancakes.
Kirika Kure	But it adds a nice accent to the tea's flavor.
Oriko Mikuni	(So in Kirika's mind...)
Oriko Mikuni	(...pouring a whole bottle of syrup on your pancakes is standard practice.)
Oriko Mikuni	(This must be normal for her.)
Oriko Mikuni	(I guess the subtle approach isn't going to work...)
Oriko Mikuni	(I have to let her know this is too much sweet stuff for me...)

Kirika Kure	Oh...
Kirika Kure	Lemme guess... This isn't what you had in mind, is it?

Episode 2

Kirika Kure	Oh...
♪ Musical track: [ mother and daughter]
Kirika Kure	Lemme guess... This isn't what you had in mind, is it?
Oriko Mikuni	——?!
Oriko Mikuni	(I hate seeing her with that look on her face...)
Kirika Kure	My bad...
Kirika Kure	I didn't mean to put you on the spot or anythin'.
Oriko Mikuni	No, I'm sorry.
Oriko Mikuni	The last thing I want to do is upset you, Kirika...
Oriko Mikuni	It's just...I'm not as big a fan of sweet things as you.
Kirika Kure	Huh...?
Kirika Kure	Oh!
Kirika Kure	Come to think of it, you usually only put a tiny bit of syrup on your pancakes.
Oriko Mikuni	(Yes, Kirika. Like most regular people...)
Kirika Kure	So you don't like sweet tea, either?
Oriko Mikuni	Well, not exactly...
Oriko Mikuni	Oh, I know.
Oriko Mikuni	How about I put lots of syrup on the pancakes...
Oriko Mikuni	...and have the tea straight instead?
Oriko Mikuni	That way...
Oriko Mikuni	...I think I'll be able to enjoy your pancakes.
Kirika Kure	......
Kirika Kure	Sure! Let's do it!
Kirika Kure	Oh, if it's all right with you...
Kirika Kure	...can I slap some honey and jam on the pancakes too?
Oriko Mikuni	O-okay... Go ahead.
Oriko Mikuni	(The least I can do is let Kirika have the pancakes the way she wants.)

Kirika Kure	All right, time to dig in.
(Narration)	*Plink* *Plink* *Plink*
Oriko Mikuni	You sure like a lot of sugar in your tea.
Oriko Mikuni	THREE whole cubes?
Kirika Kure	They're all different types, y'know.
Kirika Kure	I wanna add a bit of jam for flavor too.
Oriko Mikuni	*Chuckle* That sounds so sickly sweet.
Kirika Kure	That first mouthful before the jam dissolves is the best.
Kirika Kure	Want a sip?
Oriko Mikuni	Sure, I could try a bit...
Oriko Mikuni	...Hng...
Kirika Kure	Too sweet for you, huh?
Oriko Mikuni	Sampling a little of yours is plenty.
Kirika Kure	I'm happy to share with you anytime.
Oriko Mikuni	Thanks.

Oriko Mikuni	(Could that be...?)
Kirika Kure	Looks like you've got a visitor, Oriko.
Oriko Mikuni	Welcome.
Oriko Mikuni	Oh!
Oriko Mikuni	My, you certainly look different now.
