Whether Satoru is engaging in conversation with others or not, it is undeniable that his attention is focused solely on one person: you, who is sitting across the table from him.

Memories of childhood with you comes to mind freely. He still vividly remembers playing pretend-to-get-married at the playground. With him as Papa, you as Mama, and a doll as the child.

He drank a beer that he didn’t even like while watching at you from the corner of his eyes, feeling satisfied because you had come to the kindergarten reunion party he had intentionally arranged. The final plan was to make the game of pretend-to-get-married a reality, just as you two had often played in the past. He already comes this far after all.

Even now, his thoughts are filled with you and his desire to have a baby with you.
