scene norikospresent1
play music "hometown.mp3"
"Somehow, I wind up in front of Noriko. "
"She holds a box that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time- which I’m sure sounds strange to you, but there’s no other way I can think of describing it."
"I’m assuming this is that present she was telling me about a while back. "
"I still have no idea what to expect but, having grown to know this girl relatively well over the last several months, it’s safe to assume it’s likely something with some sort of...sentimental value."
"Despite her appearance, Noriko’s consistently been one of the most sentimental people I know."
"And I see no reason for her to break that pattern now- on a night that I’m sure she wishes she could have enjoyed with me in a different sort of way."
"Perhaps in the future, if there even is one."
n "Heeeeeey..."
n "I went up to the hotel room to find you, but Makoto told me you were busy with Miku, so...I figured I’d just wait around in the lobby until you showed up."
n "Did she like her present? "
s "Yes and no. It’s a little complicated."
scene norikospresent2
with dissolve
n "Yeah...I can...definitely relate to that."
s "I take it that’s for me, then?"
n "Yeah..."
s "Am I allowed to open it?"
scene norikospresent3
with dissolve
n "Huh? Yeah. Why wouldn’t you be?"
s "I’m just getting mixed signals between you and the box itself and I’m currently choosing sides."
n "Well...I guess I should be pretty nervous then, huh?"
s "Probably not. I can’t imagine myself ever choosing a box over you."
scene norikospresent4
with dissolve
n "Yeah...we’ll see about that..."
s "Give it here, then. There’s no better place to break the rules than a hotel lobby and I am now determined to go against that box’s wishes."
n "You know it wasn’t the {i}box{/i} who wrote “Do not open” on itself, right?"
n "Also, can we maybe, like...not do this in here? I’d like to be somewhere a little more private since I’m probably going to cry."
s "I don’t know if I like the idea of whatever this present is making you cry, but if going somewhere else is what it takes for me to figure it out, sure."
s "I’m assuming Kirin told you about the boiler room, then?"
scene norikospresent3
with dissolve
n "Boiler room? What are you talking about?"
s "Oh. Nevermind. I just figured that’s what you meant with the whole “privacy” thing."
s "I’m mostly under the impression by now that Kirin just tells you everything immediately after it happens and-"
n "What were you and Kirin doing in-"
scene norikospresent5
with dissolve
n "Actually...no. That’s not important right now. I’ve only got a little while until I have to head back and...I kinda need you to see this before that."
s "You’re leaving already? Why?"
scene norikospresent6
with dissolve
n "I don’t {i}want{/i} to leave."
n "I just think I’ll have a harder time staying around after you see what’s inside the box."
s "..."
n "Um...anyway..."
n "I’m pretty sure the roof is unlocked...and it’s not that cold out tonight, so we can probably do this up there?"
s "Stairs and boxes, my two favorite things. "
s "Lead the way. I’ll be right behind you."
n "Not for long, you won’t."
scene black
with dissolve2
"I’m not exactly sure what Noriko means by that, but I follow her regardless."
"And, of course, she’s the type of person to take the stairs instead of the elevator. "
"So on top of having to ascend what feels like an ungodly amount of stories, I have to deal with the exhaustion of actually moving now as well."
"But if this is what it takes for her to cry in a contained environment rather than one that a classmate could pop into at any given moment, I guess it’s just something I have to deal with."
scene clearnightsky
with dissolve2
"As we open the door and step out onto the roof, I wonder how many more girls I’ll be forced to watch cry before the night comes to an end."
"So much for Christmas being the most magical night of the year- if that’s even a thing people say."
"But I guess that crying in itself is sort of magical in a way."
"Not everyone is in tune enough with their feelings to do something like that. And many of the people who {i}are{/i} would just...rather not."
"I’d say I hate it myself, but it’s been so long at this point that I don’t know if I can even attribute such a strong word to the idea of tears."
"I will say with utmost certainty, though, that it’s a lot harder to hate something when you’re only experiencing it secondhand. "
"The two of us approach the edge of the hotel and sit down on the concrete rooftop."
"It’s cold. Much colder than the air itself."
"And despite being face to face with a girl prepared to be wounded all for the sake of tightening the rope wrapped around us-"
"All I can think of is wanting to go back inside."
scene norikospresent7
with dissolve2
"The box sits in my lap the same way she would when she was younger."
"That’s not a memory, just an educated guess based on all that I’ve heard from her."
"I’m sure she’s thinking something similar right now."
n "So...how was the Christmas party without me being around? Any...I don’t know, quieter?"
s "Is this the part where you start stalling because you’re worried about how things are going to play out?"
scene norikospresent8
with dissolve
n "Ugh. I really should have tried rationing out all the times I’ve done that. I could seriously benefit from that tactic right now if you weren’t already familiar with my tricks."
s "Guess you’re going to have to come up with a new method if you want some additional time in the future."
s "Or not, since the world is just going to repeat itself soon anyway."
scene norikospresent9
with dissolve
n "What, are we in some kind of movie right now?"
n "You gonna tell me that the only reason you don’t remember me is because you went all Eternal Sunshine on yourself?"
s "I have no ideas what that is."
n "Well, we should watch it together if you still want to be around me after tonight."
s "Noriko, I’m not going to find the severed head of someone I care about inside of this box, am I? Because you seem really worried that whatever is in here is going to make me...dislike you or something."
n "What if it was a severed head of someone you {i}didn’t{/i} like? Then what?"
s "You’re stalling again and I’m not falling for it."
n "You can’t fault me for trying."
s "Can I open this now, then? Or do you know some spiritual hack where opening boxes facing west is somehow a good luck charm?"
n "You can open it. "
n "You’ve waited long enough."
scene norikospresent10
with dissolve
"I peel back the tape covering the box and place it on the concrete."
"The wind sweeps it away and carries it off the ledge immediately."
"There’s some sort of metaphor or symbolism to be gleaned from that, but I can’t be bothered to decode it right now."
"There’s nothing lavish or exciting inside of the box- "
"Just a stack of what appear to be organized papers with neat, half-cursive handwriting covering them."
"I’m assuming that whatever the {i}present{/i} is lies within these pages."
