I've never had much reason to celebrate them at all, to be honest.

[Audio]

[brokenmemories]

Not much of a big deal back home?

[Audio]

[used_bubble]

Something like that.

It's just another year gone by, isn't it? I don't see what the big deal is.

"Its the day you were born on!" My friends would say. It's a big deal between friends back home because they value each other's company and they would be missing a friend if they weren't born.

[Now that she's said it out loud, it sounds kind of shallow.]

I stopped caring for my own years ago. It was my friend who insisted on celebrating them because she felt it was an "important" day.

Would this be the same friend you were speaking of?

[Audio]

[brokenmemories]

...yeah.

[Audio]

[used_bubble]

If it was so important to them, why wouldn't you celebrate it?

[Audio]

[brokenmemories]

I have my reasons.

[Audio]

It seems that it's celebrated more by those around you rather than yourself.

If this friend was so important to you, think of what they would have wanted.

[Audio]

[brokenmemories]

Hm. [That means she's considering it. That was actually a good suggestion.]

What is your name?

[Audio]

[used_bubble]

My name's Utakata.

[Audio]

[brokenmemories]

Utakata.

Thank you for the talk.

[Audio]

[used_bubble]

And yours?

You're welcome, I suppose.

Its Misaki.
