Scene: The morning after the cozy evening. Amane wakes up to sunlight streaming through the curtains. Outside, the snow still blankets the neighborhood in white. Mahiru is already up, quietly making breakfast in the kitchen.
Amane:(stretching, rubbing his eyes)"Morning, Mahiru. You're up early."
Mahiru:(smiling softly)"Couldn't sleep well. Too many thoughts about yesterday."
Amane:"Yeah… me too. It feels strange but good. Like a fresh start."
Mahiru places two steaming cups of tea on the table.
Mahiru:"Fresh start… I like that. It reminds me we have to keep our promise — honesty, no matter what."
Amane:(nodding)"Right. Speaking of that… I was thinking about what you said. About being the only girl I look at."
Mahiru blushes, looking down.
Mahiru:"It's selfish, isn't it?"
Amane:"No, not at all. I want the same."
They share a quiet smile, the unspoken bond growing stronger.
Scene shifts to school. The hallways buzz with chatter. Amane and Mahiru walk side by side, hands barely brushing.
Chitose:(running up excitedly)"Morning, you two! Ready for the school ski trip?"
Itsuki:(smirking)"Yeah, Amane, you've got two months to learn skiing or you're gonna embarrass yourself."
Amane:(groaning)"Don't remind me…"
Mahiru:(teasing)"I'll help you. You just have to promise not to give up."
Amane:"Deal. But only if you're my coach."
Chitose:"Double date on the slopes, here we come!"
They laugh together, the atmosphere light but charged with excitement.
Later, during lunch break, Amane and Mahiru sit under a tree in the school courtyard, away from the crowd.
Amane:"Hey, Mahiru, do you ever worry about what other people think of us?"
Mahiru:"Sometimes. But I remind myself that what matters is how we feel. And who we are together."
Amane:"Yeah… It's just hard. I don't want rumors or drama."
Mahiru:"Me neither. But if anyone tries to mess with us, we'll face it together."
Amane:(smiling)"Together."
The peaceful moment is interrupted by the arrival of a new character — a tall, confident girl with striking eyes.
New Girl (Sayaka):(approaching with a sly smile)"So, you're the famous Mahiru-san? The angel who's been spoiling Amane-kun?"
Mahiru stiffens slightly.
Amane:"Who's this?"
Sayaka:"Oh, just a student interested in getting to know the school's cutest couple better."
Chitose:(appearing behind Sayaka)"Sayaka's new to our grade. Watch out, she's got a competitive streak."
Itsuki:"Looks like trouble already."
Mahiru exchanges a quick glance with Amane, both sensing the unspoken challenge.
Scene shifts to after school. Amane and Mahiru walk home together, the tension from school lingering.
Mahiru:"I don't like Sayaka's tone. It feels like she's trying to start something."
Amane:"Yeah. But we won't let it get to us. We have our promise, remember?"
Mahiru:"Honesty and trust."
They stop walking, looking into each other's eyes.
Amane:"No matter what happens, I want you to be my only girl. And I'll be yours."
Mahiru:(smiling softly)"Then let's keep walking this road together."
They hold hands firmly, the winter wind swirling around them but unable to chill their warmth.
Scene: Amane's living room that evening. They sit close, studying together but stealing shy glances at each other.
Amane:(breaking the silence)"Do you think… this relationship will change us?"
Mahiru:"I think it already has. I'm braver because of you."
Amane:"And I'm happier because of you."
Mahiru's phone buzzes. She checks a message from Sayaka.
Message:"I hope you're ready, Mahiru-san. This year will be interesting."
Mahiru:(showing the message to Amane)"Looks like the challenge has already begun."
Amane:(determined)"Then we'll face it head-on. Together."
They lean on each other as the snow falls silently outside. The new season of their story has begun — filled with love, trust, and the promise of overcoming every obstacle.
