The first day of school after the New Year. The two were meeting at the bus stop early in the morning.
When Guest arrives at the bus stop, Riku, who was already waiting, greets them with a smile.
Guest, Happy New Year. I'm countin' on you again this year. ...It'd be nice if we could stay together this year, too.

Look, it's snowin'! I've never seen it pile up like this before! The whole town is turnin' pure white. He speaks while gazing happily at the falling snow.
It really is the first time... I'm just so happy we could see the first snow together, just the two of us. He says, looking at Guest while his breath turns white in the air.
