    ay "You’re not suddenly religious...are you, Sensei?"
    s "Me? No. I was just wandering around."

    m "It..."
    m "It started snowing a couple hours ago."
    m "Just after the sunset."
    s "I see."

    a "What? No! Come with us!"
    a "Where were you before this? It was probably a really long walk and...you don’t even have a real jacket."
    ay "We’re going out to a family restaurant. I can pay for you if you don’t have any money."
    s "I’m not broke, Ayane."
    ay "Yes, but I’m rich. So I really insist that you come with us."
    ay "Let me treat you and get you out of the cold."
    a "Yeah! Come on. Let’s get you somewhere warm."
    m "I...agree..."
    m "You should probably come with us."
    s "Why is everyone so concerned with warming me up all of a sudden? I feel fine."
    s "I’m just bored."

    with dissolve

    m "You’re soaking wet."
    m "Which is...worrying since it’s not even snowing that hard."
    a "Yeah. Your hair is basically all white right now. You look like a cool grandpa."
    ay "If this is how you will look when you are old, I am even more excited for our future than I already was."

    "I pat down my pants and blazer to find that, yes, they are soaking wet. "
    "But when did this even happen? And why did I not realize anything until it was pointed out?"
    "The three girls stare at me, unsure of how to proceed with the conversation given that I likely look insane right about now."
    "And, you know, maybe I am?"
    "I’d certainly pass that judgement onto anyone I saw casually walking around in soaking wet clothes during a minor snowstorm."

    ay "Should we maybe...call an ambulance or something?"
    a "What? No. He’ll be fine. Sensei never gets colds."
    a "He just gets like this sometimes. Once we get him home and into bed he’ll be as good as new."
    s "Okay, you two realize I can hear you, right?"
    s "I’m perfectly fine."
    s "Besides, I already offered to go home since you’re busy. "

    scene mayasnowshrine5
    with dissolve

    a "Then why-"

    s "I wouldn’t mind that."

    scene mayasnowshrine7
    with dissolve

    a "You and Maya? Did something happen that I didn't hear about yet?"
    m "A misunderstanding of sorts."
    m "It likely won’t take long...but you two can begin heading to Ami’s house or the restaurant or...wherever and then text me to let me know which one you decided on."
    m "I’ll make sure Sensei gets there, too."
    a "I mean...I don’t have any problem with-"
    ay "I don’t want to leave Sensei’s side right now."
    ay "This all feels very strange. "
    s "It’s fine, Ayane. Really. There’s nothing to worry about."
    ay "There’s nothing to worry about?"
    ay "You just...wandered over to where Maya hangs out in the middle of the night during a snowstorm to be alone with her and there’s nothing to worry about?"

    "That’s likely why I wound up here in the first place."
    "And it’s a misunderstanding that can’t be brought up around the other two, so-"

    ay "We’ll text you in a few minutes to let you know where we’re going."
    m "Can you {i}not{/i} look so angry while saying that, please? I didn’t even do anything."
    ay "This face just happens out of natural instinct when I think someone is trying to take Sensei away."
    a "If it makes you feel better, I don’t think you’re going to take Sensei away, Maya."
    a "You’re not girly enough anyway, so I doubt he would even like you like that."
    m "Oh. Thanks, Ami. That was...kind of you."
    s "Sorry for showing up and making things really awkward when you guys just wanted to get food."

    scene mayasnowshrine9
    with dissolve

    a "No need to apologize, Sensei! We’re all totally used to working our schedules around you by now anyway."
    ay "I’m sorry if I seemed angry. I’m not. "
    ay "I’ve just been feeling a little strange lately."
    s "It’s fine."

    "Ami and Ayane slowly make their way down the steps of the shrine to avoid slipping and cracking their heads open on the concrete."
    "On the bright side, if one of them {i}did{/i} fall, it would be easy to rip off Maya’s skirt and use it to soak up all of the blood."
    "It’s also the same color, so any stain left would be barely noticeable."

    m "At least it’s not soaking wet. "
    m "There are plenty of warm spots inside of the shrine."
    m "You look like you’ve been wandering around for hours."
    s "I probably was. "
    m "You don’t remember?"
    s "All I remember is deciding to come here around the same time I always do."
    s "Then, before I knew it, I was being invited out to eat by a bunch of girls who paint their nails in my living room."
    m "And that doesn’t worry you?"
    s "Not really. I’m just a little upset that I missed an entire part of the day."
    s "That’s time I will never get back."

    scene mayasnowshrine12
    with dissolve

    m "Ha ha ha. Time loop humor. Hilarious."
    s "Well it’s not like you ever laugh at normal humor, so it was worth a shot."
    m "I laugh at plenty of things. You just have the worst sense of humor out of any person I’ve ever encountered."

    "It’s cute how she can still insult me while nervously twirling her ribbon around in her fingers."
    "But I’m sure she has a lot of practice."
    "By now, I’m sure the amount of insults I’ve received from this girl add up to around the same total as stars in the sky."
    "I’m sure she’d be happy to hear that comparison drawn, but I’m too cold and exhausted to make anyone happy tonight."
    "And..."
    "There’s still a “misunderstanding” that needs to be cleared up."

    s "So, about the other night-"

    scene mayasnowshrine13
    with dissolve

    m "I know. "
    m "And...I’m sorry."
    m "I was desperate and angry and said some things that should never have been said. "
    m "I’m honestly surprised you’re even here right now. "
    m "I was sure you were going to be avoiding me for at least another several weeks."
    m "But I suppose that if there is anyone in the world who can so harshly reject a girl only to return and talk about it shortly after, it’s you."
    s "Under normal pretenses, I wouldn’t have rejected you at all. "
    s "In fact, I don’t even see what happened as a rejection in the first place."
    m "Please, do tell what you saw it as."
    s "I’m not sure if the words ever made it out of my mouth back then, but I didn’t want you doing something like that out of sheer desperation."
    s "It’s not like that strategy would have worked either way."

    scene mayasnowshrine14
    with dissolve

    m "I know. "
    m "Which is why I’m glad you didn’t let me follow through with it."
    m "Also, if you ever deliriously compare me to a bird again, I will not hesitate to scratch your eyeballs out."
    s "I...did what?"

    if bonus == True:

    m "It was the most embarrassing several minutes of my life."
    s "…"
    m "…"
    s "I have no idea what I’m supposed to say to that."

    scene mayasnowshrine15
    with dissolve

    m "There’s no need to say anything, really."
    m "You’ve been having episodes like that since the first loop began."
    m "They just always manifest differently...and get progressively harder to pick up on as we move closer and closer to the middle or the end of a season."
    s "And is the “middle or the end of a season” getting close now?"

    scene mayasnowshrine14
    with dissolve

    m "I’d say we’re closer to the middle of the middle. "
    m "But, then again, everything I know about the world has been slowly fading away since winter began."
    m "For all I know, everyone could vanish tomorrow."
    s "And I’m sure that’s exactly what you’re hoping for, huh?"
    m "Yes. I’m trying to remain hopeful that it not only buys you more time, but gets rid of the single worst girl I have ever crossed paths with before she can damage you any more."
    s "She has not “damaged” me, Maya."

    scene mayasnowshrine16
    with dissolve

    m "Yes she has. "
    m "It’s near impossible for you to notice, but I’d like to inform you that, as of right now, I know you a hell of a lot better than you do."
    s "So does Noriko, but at least she’s nice about it."
    m "Being nice isn’t going to keep you alive. "
    m "She’s going to chase you off the same way she did the last time."
    s "Can you at least tell me what happened “the last time?”"
    m "No."
    m "In fact, the second I tried to tell you something even simpler than that, you passed out on my bed and started hyperventilating."
    s "Well...summarize it or something."
    s "I don’t remember much about that night, but I remember it was very important."
    m "And if you pass out on the ground and start hyperventilating {i}here?{/i} What am I supposed to do then?"
    m "Let you freeze to death?"


    if bonus == True:
        s "You could always try to force me to have sex with you again. That worked really well last time."
    else:
        s "You could always try to angrily hug me again. That worked really well last time."

    scene mayasnowshrine17
    with dissolve

    m "You-"
    m "You’re disgusting."
    m "Please don’t bring that up anymore. "
    s "I hope you know I’m going to bring that up literally all the time now."
    m "Does seeing me in anguish truly make you that happy?"
    s "Not really. But seeing you blush like that does."

    m "Since you’re so dead set on turning your life into some sort of puzzle that must be solved, I suppose I can try to summarize at least one very important detail for you."
    m "Without divulging too much, several things have transpired over the last several months that have forced me into an inevitable change of opinions about you."
    m "I’ve been noticing it for quite some time, but my stubbornness is one of my greatest flaws, and this meant that I was unable to accept it."
    m "I have told you in the past that you are “changing.”"
    m "I was wrong."
    m "I have told you in the past that everything is part of a cycle."
    m "I was wrong about that as well."
    m "You are not changing and, with how hectic things have become lately, there is clearly no cycle at all. And if there is, it’s a really fucking stupid one without any rules."

    scene mayasnowshrine19

    m "The reason I don’t want you to learn any more about “your” past is precisely because it is {i}your{/i} past."
    m "Probably."
    s "Probably?"
    m "Saying “definitely” too soon and then losing you would be the emotional equivalent of dropping my body feet first into a meat grinder."
    s "So, does that mean that I'm-"
    m "Yes."
    m "Probably."
    s "But that still doesn’t explain-"
    m "I can’t explain anymore."
    m "Not safely at least."
    m "And I would really...{i}REALLY{/i} appreciate it if you’d stop looking for answers."
    m "Stay exactly where you are now- at the precipice of everything. The edge of the world..."
