Hachibe: GEBOA!?
Sakurako: FROM NEXT TO NEXT, ALL YOU WANT ARE THESE WORTHLESS THINGS!!! AND FURTHER, WHO IS 23-YEAR OLD YUKUE!!
Hachibe: I…DON’T KNOW, I DON’T KNOW EITHER!!
Sakurako: That’s enough…I won’t do it anymore…I was stupid for sympathizing with you and thinking that I could give you a birthday present…

Sakurako: WHAT!?
Hachibe: But then…
