Video Call script

Luke: You finally answered...! I thought something happened to you and almost went looking.

Luke: You didn't have time to check your phone during the party? Okay... So what did you eat? Did you go with close friends?

Luke: Just some work friends...? That's good.

Luke: Huh? Nothing. I was lying in bed earlier wondering when you would visit again.

Luke: ...Where? My place, of course.

Luke: You came over for a few days, right? After you left, I realized that there were traces of you all over the place.

Luke: ...Even the pillow has your scent on it. It's making me miss you a bit.

Luke: Am I being weird...? I didn't drink anything, except for what you left in the fridge.

Luke: ...What...? There was booze in it? No wonder I've been feeling a little dizzy. I thought I was going crazy.

Luke: ...What are you laughing at...? By the way, you know I can't drink. Are you trying to get back at me?

Luke: Just kidding... I know you forgot to take it with you. You wouldn't have waited til now if you were intending on doing that from the start...

Luke: ...Sorry for rambling. I'm going to take a nap. I should be fine when I wake up.

Luke: Huh? You'll stop by after the party? Why so sudden...?

Luke: No, that's okay with me... I'm just a little curious why you'd suddenly want to come to visit me. Is there any reason other than you worrying about me?

Luke: ...Anyway, I'll wait for you. Drive safely. You have the key, so just come straight in when you get here.

Luke in the Photo

You: Luke, I didn't expect you to give flowers to a girl at such a young age.

Luke: Is that bad? They were for you, anyway.

Luke: It's so that... the first bouquet you receive in your life is from me...

Luke: That would make for an unforgettable memory, wouldn't it?

You: Well... Yes.


Handmade flowers

You: You've always been so good at making thing ever since you were a kid. This artificial bouquet is really lifelike.

Luke: As a matter of fact, I wanted to send you real flowers at that time.

Luke: But it was winter, so I couldn't pick the bright-colored wildflowers I wanted and had to learn how to make artificial flowers instead.

Luke: Looking back now, it seemed like a pretty good idea. These artificial flowers last forever.


Picture frame

You: The bird on top of this frame looks like Peanut...

Luke: Back then, I was always talking about raising a myna. Sadly for me, I was too young at the time so your parents didn't let me.

You: But they must have been hopeful about it. This picture frame looks like a custom-made one.
