Houka

Phew... That should do it. Thank you for helping with the cleaning.

Hotaru

Not at all. Keeping a place we use clean is only natural.

Hotaru

Still... There was much more stuff here than I expected. It really surprised me.

Houka

The second floor is our little relaxation space, after all. Everyone keeps quite a few personal things there.

Hotaru

Are those stacks of music magazines Natsume-san's? And the travel magazines beside them belong to...?

Houka

Those are Mahoro-san's. She often looks through the photos of delicious food at all the sightseeing spots.

Hotaru

I see... Oh? Are these movie DVDs...?

Houka

Ah, Nagi-san brought those in.

Hotaru

We can watch movies here too?

Houka

Yes. We have not used it recently, but I believe there is a player beneath the television.

Houka

We used to watch them together quite often.

Hotaru

I see... So that is how it was.

Houka

Do you enjoy movies, Hotaru-san?

Hotaru

I have not really watched very many...

Houka

Oh my. Are they simply not to your taste?

Hotaru

No, it is not that. I just hardly ever go to the movie theater.

Hotaru

Sometimes my family watches whatever is on television on weekend nights...

Houka

I see. What kinds of films do you usually watch?

Hotaru

Um... I remember watching family-friendly animated movies and fantasy films from overseas.

Houka

How lovely. Those are classic genres with so many wonderful films.

Hotaru

Do you like movies, Houka-san?

Houka

I do, though I only go to the theater from time to time.

Hotaru

What kinds of movies do you watch?

Houka

Zombie movies♪

Hotaru

Z-Zombies...!?

Hotaru

Zombie movies are horror movies, right...? So you like scary films?

Houka

No, not exactly. I like zombie movies, but I am not especially fond of zombies themselves.

Hotaru

Then, um...?

Houka

People who are attacked by zombies. I find the moments when their true nature comes to light rather fascinating... That's it♪

Hotaru

I-I see...?

Houka

Everyone carries desires within them. But in everyday life, we bind ourselves with one reason or another...

Houka

Then, when people like that are placed between life and death by a zombie attack, their true selves emerge.

Houka

Some flee before anyone else, some turn on their companions, and some mercilessly wipe out the zombies...

Houka

They all look so very happy♪

Hotaru

Um... I suppose that is one way to enjoy them...?

Houka

Hehe. If you would like, I can bring you one of my recommendations sometime.

Hotaru

A-A recommendation...?

Houka

Being able to share something you love with another person. I am sure that is a very happy thing indeed♪

Hotaru

Oh...! I understand.

Hotaru

I want to know the things you love too, Houka-san!

Houka

My. This promises to be quite delightful♪
