Dream? (day dream)

Just an ordinary dream... (sweet dream)

But my heart... (always)

...is shaking. (always)

After experiencing love... (missing)

...my lips... (wishing)

...only called out to you in sadness.

Waitin' for you, respond to my thoughts quickly.

Spread your wings of sigh, come and embrace me.

Bold confession... My heart desires this.

My eyes are fixed on you, and a drop falls down.

It's called passion, but I blame it on the tears.

Let's make a promise. We're going to come...

...across each other many times in a dream.

Tamao-chan.

Rokujyo-san!

It's alright.

I'm sorry...

...for hurting your feelings.

How much did you know?

I can tell you everything.

Everything that I know.

It's going to be a long story.

Shizuma and I...

...were in the same room in this Strawberry hall since our first year.

Three years ago, when the two of us became third year students...

I was summoned by the student council.

It was regarding some new transfer student.

What am I trying to do?

Am I trying to add another character to that story?

That story where none of the characters became happy...

Refrain

Three years ago Spring

Look. You can see the chapel from here.

Kaori Sakuragi-san.

I know you might be lonely all by yourself in a single room...

...since you're not used to life in the dorm.

But if you have any problems, feel free to let me know.

Yes...

Roomkeeper? We're the only ones who got it?

That's right.

Kaori Sakuragi-san.

A new first year student.

Who decided this? What about the lottery?

People from the student council decided.

Kaori-san has been weak ever since she was a child, so...

...she can't be a normal roomkeeper and we decided to be in charge of her.

We finally got to be third year students...

...and I was really looking forward to the roomkeeper.

I was planning on making her work really hard.

Shizuma...

Why can't you be more reasonable?

They trusted us with this girl.

Kaori-san was a sickly child...

...and she stayed home most of the time during elementary school.

In order to make her feel comfortable here at school, they chose us...

...upperclassmen to look after her since they felt we were suited for the job.

Miyuki...

How come you're being so reasonable?

Do you really want to be a part of the student council that much?

In order to be an amazing Étoile...

...you need strong support from the student council.

You understand, right?

I see.

So you think I'm going to be the Étoile?

Of course.

And?

Shizuma...

If you're crying and feeling sad...

I have to go to the student council room from now on?

Take that!

Idiot.

Hey, Miyuki.

Why don't you do this by yourself?

No!

They asked both of us to do this.

Plus she's a beautiful girl that you'll definitely like.

That's the only thing good about this.

Come in.

Shizuma Hanazono.

Kaori Sakuragi.

Shizuma?

You were right, Miyuki.

What?

You're really beautiful.

Thank you very much, Hanazono-sama.

It's Shizuma.

You can call me Shizuma.

This one is a nighttime blend I got from my home.

It's a little different from Shizuma's.

I've always had my doubts about the Rokujyo family's sense of taste.

You talk big for a Hanazono, following the footsteps of Momoyama.

Our families have the same social standing, Miss.

But it smells good.

Delicious.

You should be happy, Miyuki.

Looks like Kaori is on your side.

Right...

Two people agree.

Thank you, Kaori-san.

You're welcome.

I'm heading off now!

Wait.

Kaori!

Wait, you two.

Are you alright?

We're almost there.

Beautiful...

I agree.

It would be really romantic if we could see a meteor stream.

That's asking for too much.

But the sky is really beautiful with stars.

I believe three years from now during summer...

...which would be around this time...

I heard that you can see the Perseus meteor stream.

That's a long way from now.

Unfortunately.

I wonder if I'll be around.

Of course you will.

But I think I'm much happier now.

Plus Shizuma bumped into one of the sisters...

...and she's still in the guidance room.

I see...

We might need to tell Shizuma to exercise self-control.

Kaori-san.

Rokujyo-san...

Before I came here, I was always weak and couldn't leave my house.

Before I came to Miator, I was nowhere near this world.

I was not living my life.

The time that I spent here has released me into this world.

Thank you...

...for introducing me to Shizuma.

No...

I'm happy too.

One year later Winter

Oh?

Don't you have a meeting for student council?

Shizuma! What is the meaning of this?

It's just like it says. It's an application for the Étoile election.

Just as you expected...

...I decided to run for the Étoile election this year.

But how do you explain this? Your partner is listed as Kaori-san.

You know better than anyone else...

...that no one can be my partner except her.

Her body is weak.

She hasn't been feeling well this year...

...and she hasn't been coming to school lately, right?

Do you know what the Étoile stands for?

They represent all three schools.

They get attention from the students and also have great responsibilities.

Do you honestly think Kaori-san can endure all that?

There's no way she can endure it.

Then why?

Why are you doing this?

Kaori, you have a visitor.

Kaori-san.

Rokujyo-san.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Have you been well?

Yes.

For the first time in a while, I feel pretty good.

I couldn't even get up like this till yesterday.

How come she's not in a hospital?

She said it's too late.

Can't be!

When did you hear about it?

Three days ago...

She only has about three months to live.

What?

It happened all of a sudden!

She kept quiet about it.

What?

That's just absurd.

Why didn't she say anything about it?

Why!

That's why we decided...

...to be the Étoile together.

But we don't even know if we can be the Étoile.

Are there any candidates from Spica this year?

That doesn't matter!

Who cares about Spica?

There's no one out there that can beat you two.

You two just have to stand on that stage.

Then this year's Étoile will be decided.

A swearing-in ceremony for the Étoile will begin shortly.

This year's Étoile will be...

...Saint Miator's Shizuma Hanazono and Kaori Sakuragi.

That's better.

You look very pretty.

Thank you...

Single star in the sky and the songs of angels that echo in the air.

Now, walk over to Shizuma.

Kaori!

I'm sorry.

Hold onto me.

I can hear the song of angels.

Yes...

Thank you for everything you've done for me, Rokujyo-san.

You're almost there, Kaori.

Angels...

Song of angels...

Kaori!

Shizuma...

It's been decided that no one is going to use this place for a long time.

You're not going to cry?

Kaori never cried.

Even though she was facing death...

...she never cried once.

This room belongs to no one now.

No matter what happens here, no one is going to know the truth.

This is everything I know.

Ever since then, Shizuma stopped opening her heart to us.

Two years have passed since that tragedy...

...but that girl still lies deep within her heart.

She's still there in a place where no one else can satisfy her.

I'm sorry.

I expected too much out of you.

I hoped that you'd get Shizuma back to normal.

I hoped that you could make Shizuma forget that girl.

I was hoping for those things even though they were impossible.

I'm sorry.

I'm standing by your side...

But are you immersed in...

...such a good book that you don't notice me?

I'd like to take a look.

Your hand stopped, and you called out to me gently.

The future will change, so let's go back to the past.

The leather bound book... I remembered...

...a sweet episode we had back then.

We were both confused and scared, but we touched each other.

Tell me that you're happy.

You're smiling.

I was embarrassed so I ran away!

Come and get me.

You know everything that's going on.

But you're just teasing me.

You want to receive the punishment of love? KISS

Next Episode

Did you sleep well last night, Nagisa-chan?

Thanks for asking.

Hey, Tamao-chan. I need to ask you a favor.

What is it?

I inconvenienced you so many times, right?

All the time...

Plus you listened to my problems.

But that's because I enjoyed doing them.

So you see...

On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "Confession".

Tell me your story, Tamao-chan.
