Kotaro and Akane have come so far from their childhoods. When they first began dating, they were both a pair of shy teenagers that found communication by instant messages far easier. Now the pair are a married couple - and something special is about to enter their lives to make them even happier than before...

Finally reunited after living apart for so many years, Kotaro and Akane spend some time together out on a beautiful moonlit evening - just like they did when they were just a pair of shy children. The young lovers deeply enjoy their time alone in one another's company - when things take a surprising, unexpected turn... One-shot.

A few short stories based on the Line messages between Kotarou and Akane shown at the end credits from Episode 12. I used the translations from Crunchyroll and BrownRiceCookies.

On a chilly evening before the final day, Akane and Kotarou face their worries together. A retelling of a certain scene in the last episode, told from Kotarou's perspective.

*** SPOILERS *** This links the "Now" to the "And Then..." at the very end. I know it runs a bit counter to the theme of the series, but I just had to write this for myself... I've tried to present it so those who haven't seen the series can still understand what's going on (hence the short write-up of each of the two main characters to set the scene).

Chinatsu still loves Kotarou!
