Aoi: Hey, you're in the hospital!
Aoi: You need to be a little more subdued!
Yuuki: Yeah, but nothing's wrong with me!

Aoi: It's been a while since he was in the hospital.
Aoi: And he didn't even have a fit here...
Mother: True...
Mother: He's gotten a lot better.

Mother: He's just getting an examination to make sure.
Mother: He'll be out tomorrow.
Yuuki: I was bored, but now you're here!!
Aoi: It's Sunday, so I was off work.

Mother: What about missions or training?
Aoi: I didn't have any.
Aoi: Today was free.
Mother: Then come have dinner with your father and me.
Aoi: But Yuuki's in the hospital.

Aoi: I'll come again next week.
Aoi: We can all have a nice meal then.
Aoi: My friends are waiting for me today.

Aoi: Kyoto and Tokyo aren't far away for me, after all.

Yuuki: Yeah!!
Aoi: Then it's settled!

Aoi: I told you it wasn't anything major, right?
Aoi: I want to get back before it gets dark.
Aoi: And...

Aoi: I didn't want to keep you two here for too long.
SFX: Nee hee hee
Bullet: So you purposefully let us stay here?

Aoi: This is Kamogawa's famous "evenly spaced couples".
Aoi: Isn't it neat?
Aoi: Couples sit at even intervals all along the river.
Bullet: That's not "neat"!!
Bullet: They can all just die.

Aoi: Where did you eat lunch?
Aoi: I gave you that gourmet guide, right?
Bullet: Yes, well...

Aoi: Eh? At the convenience store!?
Aoi: Why!?
Aoi: You stayed here the whole time!?

Aoi: That isn't enough power to get back.
Aoi: I'll buy you some of Tenichi's ramen.
Tim: No, I'm not very hungry...

Tim: To be honest...
Tim: I haven't been feeling good all day...
