Drama CD: Persona 3, Vol.2 -Moonlight- [PART 1]
Aaaaaand here I am with the second drama CD released for Persona 3, Moonlight. While it's technically a direct sequel to the first drama CD, Daylight, it takes place several months after.
Once again, I would like to note that I'm mainly translating these as a study tool and I'm still not exactly fluent in this language, so there will be misspellings and blank spaces everywhere. However, I will try to translate it to the best of my ability (or else it wouldn't really have much use as a study tool, now would it?). Like before, parts that I'm unable to translate with my current ability will be marked with "[...]##UNFINISHED##[...]".
Also, unlike the last drama CD, this one holds some HEAVY SPOILERS for the end of the game. So if you haven't played the game but plan to, I suggest you read no further.

Track 01
- BGM: Iwatodai Station
- SFX: [The sound of a door being opened]
Iori Junpei: (exhausted) "Daaaahhh, I'm so friggin' tired...! I know it's important, but aren't we going to Tartarus too much these days...?"
Takeba Yukari: "Don't complain. We're gonna face Nyx at the end of the month so we have no choice but to the our best, right?"
Junpei: "Yeah, I get that, but..."
Sanada Akihiko: "We're not fighting out of duty anymore. This is what we all decided, of our own free will."
Kirijou Mitsuru: "That's true, however... It wouldn't be good if we ended up overworking our bodies at this rate. If you're tired, don't hold back and rest up."
Junpei: "Thanks. ... Ah, come to think of it, tomorrow's Sunday, isn't it? If it were back then, I'd just decide to sleep the whole day off..."
Amada Ken: "Aha... I guess it's kind of hard to relax like this, isn't it?"
Yamagishi Fuuka: "I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, so I don't really have plans either..."
Yukari: "Yeah, I can understand that. Lately, I've been thinking 'Everything might end soon...', so I've been wondering about all the different plans I could make before then, but... Well, the idea that 'humanity's gonna end' can be a real downer, you know?"
Junpei: "What about you? Got any plans for tomorrow?"
Leader: "Not really. It's not like I'll be buried in my room for the whole day."
Koromaru: [Bark, bark!]
Aigis: "Koromaru-san says that if it's alright with anyone, he'd like to go out on a walk."
Koromaru: [Bark!]
Yukari: (tired and sitting down) "Ahhh, that 'my pace' feeling of yours is so refreshing..."
Junpei: "Uhh, so, who's turn is it today?"
- SFX: [silence]
Junpei: "... Eh? Why are you all staring at me? It's not like I'm always trying to skip out on anything and everything you know! My turn's tomorrow!"
Fuuka: "Come to think of it, starting tomorrow it's exactly one week... from January 31st, that is."
Yukari: "... Yeah. It's not really something I wanna think about, though..."
Fuuka: "... If it's one week, it means we only have one of each day left..."
- SFX: [... the BGM fades into a stifling silence]
Fuuka: "Ahhh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't trying to bring the atmosphere down or---"
- BGM: The Poem for Everyone's Souls
Kirijou: "No. You don't have to apologize."
Fuuka: "I, I'm not trying to say that it's our last holiday or anything--- Um, that is..."
Yukari: "Don't worry about it! We all understand." Amada: "Somehow... I thought that if we just went on as usual until the very end, it would have been kinda cool... But instead, it feels like the time we have now is actually really important."
Sanada: "That's true. I've never felt more grateful for a holiday."
Yukari: "Isn't that fine? We have to go to school in the day and at night we're always fighting."
Junpei: "Yeah, if you talk like that, there'll never be an end to it."
Fuuka: "That's true."
Kirijou: "This trivial talk is unnecessary. Value tomorrow's break. Let's scatter for the night."
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Yukari, Junpei, Fuuka: "Yes!"
- SFX: [Everyone starts walking to their rooms]
Sanada: "Guess I'll go to bed early for the night."
Fuuka: "Good work, everyone!"
Amada: "Good night."
Junpei: "Ahhh, I'm gonna sleep like a rock!"
Yukari: "Maybe I'll spend the night with Senpai..."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Aigis: "Aren't you returning to your room?"
Leader: "Hm? Ah... I'm on duty this week, so I have to change Koromaru's water first."
Koromaru: (barks and pants happily)
Aigis: (giggles) "He's very grateful."
Leader: "Really?"
Aigis: "Everyone is really collected, and it feels as if our unity has become much stronger."
Leader: "... Yeah."
Aigis: "Everyone, and myself as well... Even if it was a little painful, we've gathered our feelings one by one... This is how 'fulfillment' feels, isn't it?"
Leader: "... That may be so."
Aigis: "... ... Is it wrong... to wish that this time could last forever...?"
Leader: "... Aigis...?"
Aigis: "Ah...! It's nothing! Please forget what I just said... Then, I will leave the rest to you. Good night."
Leader: "Good night."
Koromaru: (Bark!)

TRACK 02
- SFX: [The sound of a door being opened]
- BGM: Living With Determination -Iwatodai Station Arrange-
- SFX: [Footsteps]
Fuuka: "That's right, Yukari-chan? The DVD I ordered arrived earlier today."
Yukari: "Oh, you mean that movie? That Calamity Panic one."
Aigis: "A movie DVD...?"
Fuuka: "Um... The movie's plot is that the moon is about to fall, and humanity is on the verge of a great calamity. It's a movie about humanity's ability to overcome great obstacles. When I saw it at the film festival last year, I was really moved!"
Kirijou: "Ah... That was the movie I received a ticket for back then."
Aigis: (surprised) "Eh!? Senpai, you're fan of these kinds of movies?"
Kirijou: "No. The Kirijou Group received some complimentary tickets."
Yukari: "Aha... So that's how it is... But, come to think of it, those kinds of movies were pretty popular last year, weren't they? Eh... I guess this is one of those 'end of an era'-type deals, huh?"
Kirijou: "I suppose it's not entirely unrelated to us."
Fuuka: "I did order the DVD, but... I never thought that the world would really be facing a major crisis... What should we do, Yukari-chan? Should I return it?"
Yukari: "Come on, a movie's just a movie! I don't really mind it."
Aigis: "I would like to see it as well!"
Kirijou: "Mm... In that case, shall the four of us watch it in my room?"
Yukari: (surprised) "Eh--- Right now!?"
Kirijou: "Of course, I won't force you. ... It's just, I think it will be hard to just go to sleep like this. That hasn't been an uncommon feeling for me lately... I wonder why..."
Fuuka: "Ah... I think I can relate."
Yukari: "I'm fine with the idea."
Aigis: "I as well."
Fuuka: "Then, let's all watch it!"
Kirijou: "Alright."
Fuuka: "I'll go get the DVD, okay?"
Aigis: "I will also return to my room for a short moment."
Yukari: "Then I'll wait with you in your room, Senpai."
- SFX: [footsteps and the sound of a door being opened]
Yukari: "By the way, do you mind if I use your shower?"
Kirijou: "Before me? ... Heh. Lately, it's as if it's your room."
Yukari: "Eh... Ah, no, that wasn't really my... Besides that, the TV in your room is a hundred times better than the other ones in this dorm!"
Kirijou: "Thanks to that, you understand how to use my hard disk recorder significantly better than I do. ... Well, in this case, I suppose it's rather convenient."
- SFX: [the sound of a door being closed]
-
-
-
- SFX: [footsteps]
Junpei: (yawning) "So, so tired..."
Amada: "Junpei-san, somehow, you really do look like you're gonna sleep through all of tomorrow."
Junpei: "Yeah, I just might..."
Sanada: "Since I always use the same sleep schedule, even if I sleep late occasionally, I still end up waking up at the same time as usual."
Junpei: "If you go that far, you won't be able to live a healthy high school student's life."
Amada: "But you go to school every morning too, Junpei-san. How do you usually handle mornings?"
Junpei: "Well first, there's my cell phone's alarm. I never lose against not hitting the snooze button, though."
Sanada: "You call that not losing?"
Amada: "Won't you be late?"
Junpei: "Well, I have other things prepared too."
Sanada: "You sure are care-free. ... Hm? Wait. If remember right, Shinji had an alarm clock too."
- SFX: [the sound of a door being opened]
Junpei: "Wha-- Sanada-san?"
Sanada: "It made this really horrible noise. Shinji was pretty weak against the morning, so it was perfect for him."
Amada: "Your Japanese is a bit off there."
Junpei: "But Aragaki-san is... Is it okay to just rummage through his stuff on our own?"
Sanada: "It's better than letting it go to waste as an ornament."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Junpei: "... I really don't like this..."
Amada: "It's still a week until the final battle so..." (yawns) "... It's fine to stop being late for once, isn't it?"
Junpei: "No, that's not the problem here... Also, that was pretty cruel, man!"
Sanada: "Junpei, quit dozing off there! This is for your sake, you know!"
Junpei: "-- Ah, yeah, sure!"
Amada: "In that case, I'm heading back to my room. Good night."
- SFX: [Amada returns to his room]
- SFX: [Junpei enters Aragaki's room and closes the door behind him]

- BGM: Iwatodai Station
Leader: "... This should do it."
Koromaru: (happily drinks his water)
Leader: "Good night, Koromaru."
- SFX: [Leader starts heading for his room]
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "Hm...? What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "That's not it? ... Heh. Well, alright. Let's hang out together for a little longer then."
Koromaru: (pants and barks happily)
Leader: "Heh... Can't be helped."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Leader: "... But... I remember someone saying that pets aren't allowed inside our room before, come to think of it..."
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "... It'll be our secret, okay?"
- SFX: [the sound of a door being opened]
Leader: "Come on in."
Koromaru: (barks happily)
Leader: (whispering) "SHH! You're being too loud!"
- SFX: [The two of them enter Leader's room with Leader closing the door behind him]

TRACK 03
- SFX: [The sound of a shower being used]
- SFX: [A small ringing noise]
Kirijou: "! ... What was that...?"
- SFX: [The shower is turned off]
Yukari: (from the bath) "Senpai! Did you just hear a weird noise just now?"
Kirijou: "Yes there was the noise, but... There was also a strange feeling just then as..."
- SFX: [A cellphone's ringtone ("Burn My Dread")]
Kirijou: "Yukari, your phone."
Yukari: "Eh? From who?"
- SFX: [Kirijou retrieves Yukari's phone]
Kirijou: "Let's see... 'I can't get out'...? Hm...?"
Yukari: "Ah, wait, it's probably Fuuka."
- SFX: The sound of the bathroom door being opened]
Yukari: "Sorry, but can you pass it over here?"
Kirijou: "It can't be helped."
- SFX: [Kirijou hands the phone to Yukari, who receives the call]
Yukari: "Hello?"
Fuuka: "Ah, Yukari-chan? Are you with Senpai right now?"
Yukari: "Yeah. What's wrong?"
Fuuka: "Actually, I'm not really sure what's going on, but... My room's door won't open..."
Yukari: "Huh...? It won't open? What about your key?"
Fuuka: "Ah, that's not it... Actually, I'm in my room right now, but the door won't open, so... In other words, I can't get out."
Yukari: "What? You mean you got in but you can't get out now? That's---" (sneezes)
Kirijou: "You'll catch a cold like that, Yukari."
Fuuka: "Yukari-chan?"
Yukari: "Ah, sorry. Actually, I just got out of the shower."
Fuuka: "Oh, sorry..."
Yukari: "It's fine. So then, I'll tell Senpai so just wait there, okay?"
Fuuka: "Mm, thanks. Then, I'll see you in a little while."
- SFX: [Yukari closes her phone]
Yukari: "Thanks, Senpai. Can you put it back?"
Kirijou: "What's wrong?"
Yukari: "It looks like Fuuka's door won't open so she can't get out..."
Kirijou: "She can't get out? ... Perhaps that strange sound from earlier may have something to do with it..."
Yukari: (Surprised) "Huh!? ... Uh, I wonder..."
Kirijou: "... Well, for now, I'll go check it out."
Yukari: "Ah, Senpai! It might be a good idea to call Aigis too! She's gotten pretty good at picking locks la---" (sneezes)
Kirijou: "Yukari. Dry yourself off before you catch a cold. You really will catch a cold like this."
- SFX: [Kirijou starts to leave]
Yukari: (shudders)
Kirijou: "... Still, it's strange. She has her key, but she can't get out...? I've never heard of such a thing happening here before..."
- SFX: [Kirijou tries opening her room's door]
Kirijou: "Mm...?"
- SFX: [Kirijou repeatedly tries to move the doorknob]
Kirijou: "What...!?"
- BGM: Troubled
Kirijou: "The door won't open...!"
Yukari: "What...!? No way, here too!?"
- SFX: [Kirijou continues trying to open the door]
- SFX: [Kirijou's phone starts to ring. She picks it up.]
Kirijou: "... It's Akihiko. This timing..."
- SFX: [Kirijou receives the call]
Kirijou: "It's me."
Sanada: "Mitsuru, actually---"
Kirijou: "You can't open your door?"
Sanada: "Don't tell me it's the same there too!?"
Kirijou: "Yamagishi's room as well."
Sanada: "The heck is going on...? Could all the rooms be affected too...?"
Kirijou: "If it's all of them, then I may have some idea as to what's going on. I'll try and verify things from my end. For now, you try getting in contact with the others."
Sanada: "Got it."
- SFX: [Sanada hangs up]
Yukari: "You know what's going on?"
Kirijou: "This dorm was originally built as a shelter against Shadows. The doors have automated locks as part of the defense systems."
Yukari: "Wait, by Shadows, you mean---"
Kirijou: "No, it can't be Shadows. It's not the Dark Hour yet. It seems there may be a malfunction... How troublesome. If we can't get out, then..."
Yukari: "Ah... How about you try asking Fuuka to help?"
Kirijou: "I see, that could help."
- SFX: [Kirijou calls Fuuka]
Fuuka: "---Ah, yes, hello?"
Kirijou: "Yamagishi. Sorry, but can you access the dorm's systems from your end and check things out? Use my name and password. The password shouldn't have changed since before."
Fuuka: "I, I understand. I'll get my computer and see what I can find."
Kirijou: "I'll leave it to you. I'll try calling the lab from my end."
- SFX: [Kirijou tries contacting the labs]
Yukari: "Oh, right... I guess we should have called the lab first, huh?"
Kirijou: "However, considering the time, I wonder if it will get through..."
- SFX: [... It seems there's no one at the lab at this time. Kirijou hangs up.]
Kirijou: "[...]##UNFINISHED##[...]."
- SFX: [Yukari's phone rings]
Yukari: "Ah, it's Fuuka. That was fast!"
- SFX: [Yukari receives the call]
Fuuka: "Hello? Yukari-chan? I accessed the dorm's system just now, but..."
Yukari: "Have you figured out what's going on?"
Fuuka: "It says that the doors haven't been locked at all.
Yukari: "What...?"
- BGM: Just Like This...
Fuuka: "The system doesn't seem to be having any problems, and there wasn't any order to lock the doors either. It's possible that there's a physical malfunction somewhere, but I can't verify that with just my computer."
Kirijou: "What did Yamagishi say?"
Yukari: "She checked it out, but she still doesn't know what's wrong..."
Kirijou: "... I see..."
Yukari: "Ah, thanks Fuuka."
Fuuka: "... I guess we can't all watch movies together like this, huh?"
Yukari: "Guess not... We'll contact you again later."
Fuuka: "Mm, later then."
- SFX: [Yukari hangs up]
Kirijou: "There's no point in getting impatient like this. I'll inform everyone of the situation and we'll wait until morning. If the situation hasn't resolved itself by then, I'll call the lab once more."
Yukari: "Hm..."
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Sanada: "It's the same for everyone else. I just called them all. It seems that everyone heard a strange sound just before the doors got locked too. I guess all we can do for now is wait until morning, huh? It'd be nice if everything resolved itself over time, though... I don't want my training to be disrupted just before the final battle..."
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Aigis: "Yes! Certainly, it's possible that there may have been a system crash. It seems that windows have been affected as well. It may be difficult to limit the damage if I were to try to break through them. ... Yes. For now, I will remain on standby."
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Amada: "Yes, only the door won't open. Everything else seems to be fine. But thanks to this situation, I ended up waking up... Huh? I already went to the toilet!! Why are you worrying about that!? Don't treat me like a child!"
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Junpei: "Me? I'm in Aragaki-san's room with Sanada-san. Eh? ... Well, that's just kinda how things developed. ... Also, since a while ago, Sanada's been rummaging through the room. Ahh, Yukaricchi, save me! At this rate, I won't be able to settle down until morning...!"
- SFX: [A phone is hung up]
- BGM fades

Kirijou: "... And that's the current situation."
Leader: "Understood."
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Kirijou: "...? Is Koromaru there with you?"
Leader: "A, Ahh... ... Sorry..."
Kirijou: "No... I was worried about Koromaru being all alone in the lounge. If he's with you, I can put my mind at ease. I'll leave him to you."
Leader: "Got it."
Kirijou: "Things will probably stay this way until morning. If anything comes up, I'll contact you. For now, just rest."
Leader: "Got it. Good night."
- SFX: [Leader hangs up his phone]
Koromoaru: (whines and claws at the door)
Leader: "... Are you worried about what's going on outside?"
Koromaru: (worried whine...)
Leader: "Aha... But, we can't really do anything until morning. Let's just go back to sleep."
- SFX: [Leader settles into bed]
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "It's fine. There's nothing to worry about."
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "Good night, Koromaru..."

TRACK 04
- BGM: The Voice Someone Calls
- SFX: [The sound of machinery and a door lock being fiddled with]
Aigis: "How strange... Is it really a malfunction? Even if it's a special lock... No matter how I look at it, this doesn't feel like a malfunction... But then, why won't the door open...?"
- SFX: [The sound of something appearing...]
Aigis: "...!?"
Mysterious Girl: "Good evening."
Aigis: "You're...!"
Mysterious Girl: "Pleased to meet you, Aigis."
Aigis: "Black hair... Based on the physical appearance, a young girl..."
- SFX: [The whirring of machinery]
Aigis: "The heat sensors aren't picking up anything. You are... the one I met in September of last year..."
Mysterious Girl: "Eh...!? You... remember everything from back then...?"
Aigis: "Are you the one who has locked us all in?"
Mysterious Girl: "...? Locked in...?"
Aigis: "Right now, all of the doors in this dorm have been forcibly locked due to an unknown cause. We're unable to leave."
Mysterious Girl: "Oh... So that's what's happening? I'm sorry, I don't know anything..."
Aigis: "Everyone seems to believe that it's a malfunction in the security system, however... I believe that the cause may be something else. And then suddenly, you appeared before me."
Mysterious Girl: "I see... With that timing, it's only natural to suspect me, isn't it?"
Aigis: "Ah...! No, I'm sorry... Now that I think about it, there's no reason to suspect you..."
Mysterious Girl: (giggles) "It's fine."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Mysterious Girl: "Your theory that it's not the locks is probably correct, Aigis. Since the two areas are connected, there should have been alarm of some sort if that were the case, but there wasn't.
Aigis: "Connected...?"
Mysterious Girl: "Since that's the case, it's probably neither an error, nor anything from outside."
Aigis: "What do you mean?"
Mysterious Girl: "My circumstances are... a little special, so I know. Even without keys or doors, it's possible for a people to be trapped within themselves."
Aigis: "Trapped within themselves...? Such as being too afraid to leave a place... is that what you're saying?"
Mysterious Girl: "That's one way to look at it, but... How should I put it... Such as joining hands with those important to you and being surrounded by happiness, but... being unable to move beyond that. There are many people like that."
Aigis: "I..."
Mysterious Girl: "It's a little complicated, isn't it? It's only natural for someone who's found happiness to wish that such a time could last forever."
Aigis: "I... It's true that I also... But that was just a thought I had. There's no way for it to physically lock the doors."
Mysterious Girl: "Mm... That's true..."
Aigis: "... ..."
Mysterious Girl: (giggles) "But, I'm surprised! Aigis, you've really changed from before!"
Aigis: "Eh?"
Mysterious Girl: "Like the way you talk, it's like you're a living, breathing human! It's amazing~ It's the power of everyone's feelings, I think."
Aigis: "The power of... feelings...?"

TRACK 05
- BGM: Memories of the City
- SFX: [The rattling of a cage]
Amada: "Here's your food."
- SFX: [A hamster's squeaking]
Amada: "... ... Once we defeat Nyx, S.E.E.S. will probably be disbanded. Once that happens, I guess I'll have to return to the primary school's dorm. Since it's a normal dorm, I won't be able to bring a hamster with me. It'd be fine if I could keep you hidden like before, but if I end up getting a roommate, I won't be able to bring you after all. ... I'll need to find someone to take care of you before then... ... As long as I'm here, I'm someone's comrade. Even though they don't say anything, everyone always looks right at me. Even after everything that happened back then, even though they knew about everything... They still called me their comrade. ... It's not as if I'll never see them again, but... I guess we won't need this place anymore... ... ... I don't want that... To be honest, rather than just go back to a normal life... ... I want to stay here..."
- SFX: [A strange noise...]
-
-
-
- SFX: [The sound of machinery being used]
Fuuka: "... It's too bad, but, I guess watching movies together is impossible tonight."
- SFX: [A movie is playing in the background.]
Fuuka: "... Come to think of it, this is... the last movie I watched together with Natsuki-chan... Fighting desperately to prevent the end of the world... And the protagonist and his comrades who somehow managed to win standing together in the sunlight in the final scene... Before I realized it, I was crying... And I continued crying even after we left the theatre... Natsuki-chan was like, 'Hey, they won, didn't they? It was a happy ending!' ... At first, even I didn't know why I was crying... But now, I understand."
- SFX: [Fuuka turns off the movie]
Fuuka: "No matter how desperately they try to live, the world will still come to an end someday. The happiness they managed to achieve in the last scene won't last forever. Probably, even without realizing, I probably understood that unconsciously and wasn't able to contain my emotions. ... Of course, that it's because it doesn't last forever that it shines is something I understand now, but... I still can't help but long for it..."

Sanada: "Nn..."
-BGM: The sound of items being rummaged through]
Sanada: (grunting) "... ...Oh! Junpei, I found it!"
Junpei: "Eh?
- SFX: [Sanada turns on the alarm and there's a small beeping noise, but then... loud, annoying march music starts to play]
Junpei: "JEEZ, THAT'S LOUD...! AH, TIME OUT, TIME OUT!! AHHH, SANADA-SAN...!!"
Sanada: "HOW'S THAT!? WITH THIS, EVEN YOU SHOULD WAKE UP!"
Junpei: "DAA---"
- SFX: [Junpei frantically turns off the alarm]
Junpei: (panting] "Haa... Aaahh... Unbelievable..."
Sanada: "... What a nostalgic sound... Back when Shinji still lived here, this alarm would sound in the mornings, and since I was right next door, I'd be the first to wake up because of it."
Junpei: "Uhe... But, is it really okay for me to have something like this?"
Sanada: "Don't worry about it. It's better than letting it go to waste."
Junpei: "That might be true, but... It's like a memento, isn't it? It's something that brings back memories when you hear it, right? That's..."
Sanada: "What of it? [...]##UNFINISHED##[...]"
Junpei: "Well, normally, wouldn't you wanna hold onto it? ... If it were me, I couldn't even imagine giving away Chidori's pencils or anything else to anyone."
Sanada: "If I just stored it away, then there wouldn't be an end to it."
Junpei: "Wha--- What's with that...? Don't you feel sorry for Aragaki-san!?
- BGM: Living With Determination
Sanada: "... Junpei..."
Junpei: (voice shaking) "... Back then... When Chidori was drawing... She had this kind of a unique way of holding her pencil... When I remembered that, I tried copying it... But then I realized I didn't how anymore... Even though I decided I'd never forget anything about her, right down to the smallest detail...! Even though I decided... But I couldn't stop myself from forgetting those details..."
Sanada: "... ..."
Junpei: "Even though it's my head... Why can't it just stay still...?"
Sanada: "... ... Junpei..."

Kirijou: "It's ready."
Yukari: "Mmm~ What a great aroma~ Then, I won't hold back! ---OW!"
Kirijou: "... Are you alright? You should always remember to blow on it first."
Yukari: "Ahh... But it's still good~ Well, normally I remember to blow on it, but... It's pretty rare for Lady Mitsuru to prepare tea for someone, isn't it?"
Kirijou: "Hmhm... I wonder."
- SFX: [The sound of a phone being used]
Kirijou: "... ... It's still not connecting."
Yukari: "It's still pretty late, after all... If it gets dangerous, we could always just smash the door down, couldn't we?"
Kirijou: "I suppose..."
- SFX: [Kirijou closes her phone]
Kirijou: "What's wrong? You're surprisingly composed."
Yukari: "Well of course it bothers me a little. But... Thinking about stuff like Nyx and such... In comparison to that stuff, I guess."
Kirijou: "Hmhm... I suppose there's that too."
Yukari: "I think I'll have another, if that's alright."
- SFX: [The sound of tea being poured]
Kirijou: "I'm rather envious... You always seem to be enjoying yourself. I'm somewhat weak to caffeine, to be honest."
Yukari: "It's fine at times like this, isn't it?"
- BGM: Memories of the School
Kirijou: "Well, that may be true... Fufufu... [...]##UNFINISHED##[...]"
Yukari: "But you know, Senpai... You've really changed. Come to think of it, maybe I did too."
Kirijou: "Hm?"
Yukari: "Well, don't you remember how it was back in April? Could you have imagined it? Me coming into Senpai's room and us having tea together?"
Kirijou: "Ahaha... That's true... But, I always thought that the one who broke down that wall was you."
Yukari: "Let's stop talking about who did what. It's just that I experienced the same pain as you first. ... A pair of girls who miss their papas... is a pretty unique case, isn't it?"
Kirijou: "... I see."
Yukari: "Hey, Senpai... Even after everything's over... Let's keep getting along, okay?"
Kirijou: "Mm?"
Yukari: "Even after the fighting is over, there are still things we can all share, right?"
Kirijou: "... What is it, all of a sudden?"
Yukari: "... You might get mad at me if I say this but... more than the Dark Hour disappearing... I'd rather have the time we have now continue on forever... to be honest, that's what I thought."
Kirijou: "... 'Let time be still, for thou art beautiful'... is it?"
Yukari: "Huh?"
Kirijou: "[...]##UNFINISHED##[...]." [[She's explaining what the words before mean, but to be honest, I haven't a clue as to what she's saying...]]
Yukari: "... More literary talk...? The one we saw last year was... What was it... 'Etoriaa... Ria-ou'*...?" [[... Sorry, but I'm not really familiar with plays. Anyone know what she's talking about?]]
Kirijou: "That's not Shakespeare."
Yukari: "But, it's pretty much right on the money, isn't it?"
Kirijou: "Yes... For us, who fought for a year towards this final battle... This present may be the happiest time for us..."

... SO. As it turns out, Dreamwidth can't actually handle a post this large. So I'll have to cut this drama CD into two parts.
Part 2 can be found here. And I'm tired of trying to get this stupid HTML to work right so I'm just gonna leave it like this god.
Once again, I would like to note that I'm mainly translating these as a study tool and I'm still not exactly fluent in this language, so there will be misspellings and blank spaces everywhere. However, I will try to translate it to the best of my ability (or else it wouldn't really have much use as a study tool, now would it?). Like before, parts that I'm unable to translate with my current ability will be marked with "[...]##UNFINISHED##[...]".
Also, unlike the last drama CD, this one holds some HEAVY SPOILERS for the end of the game. So if you haven't played the game but plan to, I suggest you read no further.

Track 01
- BGM: Iwatodai Station
- SFX: [The sound of a door being opened]
Iori Junpei: (exhausted) "Daaaahhh, I'm so friggin' tired...! I know it's important, but aren't we going to Tartarus too much these days...?"
Takeba Yukari: "Don't complain. We're gonna face Nyx at the end of the month so we have no choice but to the our best, right?"
Junpei: "Yeah, I get that, but..."
Sanada Akihiko: "We're not fighting out of duty anymore. This is what we all decided, of our own free will."
Kirijou Mitsuru: "That's true, however... It wouldn't be good if we ended up overworking our bodies at this rate. If you're tired, don't hold back and rest up."
Junpei: "Thanks. ... Ah, come to think of it, tomorrow's Sunday, isn't it? If it were back then, I'd just decide to sleep the whole day off..."
Amada Ken: "Aha... I guess it's kind of hard to relax like this, isn't it?"
Yamagishi Fuuka: "I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, so I don't really have plans either..."
Yukari: "Yeah, I can understand that. Lately, I've been thinking 'Everything might end soon...', so I've been wondering about all the different plans I could make before then, but... Well, the idea that 'humanity's gonna end' can be a real downer, you know?"
Junpei: "What about you? Got any plans for tomorrow?"
Leader: "Not really. It's not like I'll be buried in my room for the whole day."
Koromaru: [Bark, bark!]
Aigis: "Koromaru-san says that if it's alright with anyone, he'd like to go out on a walk."
Koromaru: [Bark!]
Yukari: (tired and sitting down) "Ahhh, that 'my pace' feeling of yours is so refreshing..."
Junpei: "Uhh, so, who's turn is it today?"
- SFX: [silence]
Junpei: "... Eh? Why are you all staring at me? It's not like I'm always trying to skip out on anything and everything you know! My turn's tomorrow!"
Fuuka: "Come to think of it, starting tomorrow it's exactly one week... from January 31st, that is."
Yukari: "... Yeah. It's not really something I wanna think about, though..."
Fuuka: "... If it's one week, it means we only have one of each day left..."
- SFX: [... the BGM fades into a stifling silence]
Fuuka: "Ahhh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't trying to bring the atmosphere down or---"
- BGM: The Poem for Everyone's Souls
Kirijou: "No. You don't have to apologize."
Fuuka: "I, I'm not trying to say that it's our last holiday or anything--- Um, that is..."
Yukari: "Don't worry about it! We all understand." Amada: "Somehow... I thought that if we just went on as usual until the very end, it would have been kinda cool... But instead, it feels like the time we have now is actually really important."
Sanada: "That's true. I've never felt more grateful for a holiday."
Yukari: "Isn't that fine? We have to go to school in the day and at night we're always fighting."
Junpei: "Yeah, if you talk like that, there'll never be an end to it."
Fuuka: "That's true."
Kirijou: "This trivial talk is unnecessary. Value tomorrow's break. Let's scatter for the night."
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Yukari, Junpei, Fuuka: "Yes!"
- SFX: [Everyone starts walking to their rooms]
Sanada: "Guess I'll go to bed early for the night."
Fuuka: "Good work, everyone!"
Amada: "Good night."
Junpei: "Ahhh, I'm gonna sleep like a rock!"
Yukari: "Maybe I'll spend the night with Senpai..."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Aigis: "Aren't you returning to your room?"
Leader: "Hm? Ah... I'm on duty this week, so I have to change Koromaru's water first."
Koromaru: (barks and pants happily)
Aigis: (giggles) "He's very grateful."
Leader: "Really?"
Aigis: "Everyone is really collected, and it feels as if our unity has become much stronger."
Leader: "... Yeah."
Aigis: "Everyone, and myself as well... Even if it was a little painful, we've gathered our feelings one by one... This is how 'fulfillment' feels, isn't it?"
Leader: "... That may be so."
Aigis: "... ... Is it wrong... to wish that this time could last forever...?"
Leader: "... Aigis...?"
Aigis: "Ah...! It's nothing! Please forget what I just said... Then, I will leave the rest to you. Good night."
Leader: "Good night."
Koromaru: (Bark!)

TRACK 02
- SFX: [The sound of a door being opened]
- BGM: Living With Determination -Iwatodai Station Arrange-
- SFX: [Footsteps]
Fuuka: "That's right, Yukari-chan? The DVD I ordered arrived earlier today."
Yukari: "Oh, you mean that movie? That Calamity Panic one."
Aigis: "A movie DVD...?"
Fuuka: "Um... The movie's plot is that the moon is about to fall, and humanity is on the verge of a great calamity. It's a movie about humanity's ability to overcome great obstacles. When I saw it at the film festival last year, I was really moved!"
Kirijou: "Ah... That was the movie I received a ticket for back then."
Aigis: (surprised) "Eh!? Senpai, you're fan of these kinds of movies?"
Kirijou: "No. The Kirijou Group received some complimentary tickets."
Yukari: "Aha... So that's how it is... But, come to think of it, those kinds of movies were pretty popular last year, weren't they? Eh... I guess this is one of those 'end of an era'-type deals, huh?"
Kirijou: "I suppose it's not entirely unrelated to us."
Fuuka: "I did order the DVD, but... I never thought that the world would really be facing a major crisis... What should we do, Yukari-chan? Should I return it?"
Yukari: "Come on, a movie's just a movie! I don't really mind it."
Aigis: "I would like to see it as well!"
Kirijou: "Mm... In that case, shall the four of us watch it in my room?"
Yukari: (surprised) "Eh--- Right now!?"
Kirijou: "Of course, I won't force you. ... It's just, I think it will be hard to just go to sleep like this. That hasn't been an uncommon feeling for me lately... I wonder why..."
Fuuka: "Ah... I think I can relate."
Yukari: "I'm fine with the idea."
Aigis: "I as well."
Fuuka: "Then, let's all watch it!"
Kirijou: "Alright."
Fuuka: "I'll go get the DVD, okay?"
Aigis: "I will also return to my room for a short moment."
Yukari: "Then I'll wait with you in your room, Senpai."
- SFX: [footsteps and the sound of a door being opened]
Yukari: "By the way, do you mind if I use your shower?"
Kirijou: "Before me? ... Heh. Lately, it's as if it's your room."
Yukari: "Eh... Ah, no, that wasn't really my... Besides that, the TV in your room is a hundred times better than the other ones in this dorm!"
Kirijou: "Thanks to that, you understand how to use my hard disk recorder significantly better than I do. ... Well, in this case, I suppose it's rather convenient."
- SFX: [the sound of a door being closed]

-
- SFX: [footsteps]
Junpei: (yawning) "So, so tired..."
Amada: "Junpei-san, somehow, you really do look like you're gonna sleep through all of tomorrow."
Junpei: "Yeah, I just might..."
Sanada: "Since I always use the same sleep schedule, even if I sleep late occasionally, I still end up waking up at the same time as usual."
Junpei: "If you go that far, you won't be able to live a healthy high school student's life."
Amada: "But you go to school every morning too, Junpei-san. How do you usually handle mornings?"
Junpei: "Well first, there's my cell phone's alarm. I never lose against not hitting the snooze button, though."
Sanada: "You call that not losing?"
Amada: "Won't you be late?"
Junpei: "Well, I have other things prepared too."
Sanada: "You sure are care-free. ... Hm? Wait. If remember right, Shinji had an alarm clock too."
- SFX: [the sound of a door being opened]
Junpei: "Wha-- Sanada-san?"
Sanada: "It made this really horrible noise. Shinji was pretty weak against the morning, so it was perfect for him."
Amada: "Your Japanese is a bit off there."
Junpei: "But Aragaki-san is... Is it okay to just rummage through his stuff on our own?"
Sanada: "It's better than letting it go to waste as an ornament."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Junpei: "... I really don't like this..."
Amada: "It's still a week until the final battle so..." (yawns) "... It's fine to stop being late for once, isn't it?"
Junpei: "No, that's not the problem here... Also, that was pretty cruel, man!"
Sanada: "Junpei, quit dozing off there! This is for your sake, you know!"
Junpei: "-- Ah, yeah, sure!"
Amada: "In that case, I'm heading back to my room. Good night."
- SFX: [Amada returns to his room]

Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "Hm...? What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "That's not it? ... Heh. Well, alright. Let's hang out together for a little longer then."
Koromaru: (pants and barks happily)
Leader: "Heh... Can't be helped."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Leader: "... But... I remember someone saying that pets aren't allowed inside our room before, come to think of it..."
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "... It'll be our secret, okay?"
- SFX: [the sound of a door being opened]
Leader: "Come on in."
Koromaru: (barks happily)
Leader: (whispering) "SHH! You're being too loud!"

TRACK 03
- SFX: [The sound of a shower being used]
- SFX: [A small ringing noise]
Kirijou: "! ... What was that...?"
- SFX: [The shower is turned off]
Yukari: (from the bath) "Senpai! Did you just hear a weird noise just now?"
Kirijou: "Yes there was the noise, but... There was also a strange feeling just then as..."
- SFX: [A cellphone's ringtone ("Burn My Dread")]
Kirijou: "Yukari, your phone."
Yukari: "Eh? From who?"
- SFX: [Kirijou retrieves Yukari's phone]
Kirijou: "Let's see... 'I can't get out'...? Hm...?"
Yukari: "Ah, wait, it's probably Fuuka."
- SFX: The sound of the bathroom door being opened]
Yukari: "Sorry, but can you pass it over here?"
Kirijou: "It can't be helped."
- SFX: [Kirijou hands the phone to Yukari, who receives the call]
Yukari: "Hello?"
Fuuka: "Ah, Yukari-chan? Are you with Senpai right now?"
Yukari: "Yeah. What's wrong?"
Fuuka: "Actually, I'm not really sure what's going on, but... My room's door won't open..."
Yukari: "Huh...? It won't open? What about your key?"
Fuuka: "Ah, that's not it... Actually, I'm in my room right now, but the door won't open, so... In other words, I can't get out."
Yukari: "What? You mean you got in but you can't get out now? That's---" (sneezes)
Kirijou: "You'll catch a cold like that, Yukari."
Fuuka: "Yukari-chan?"
Yukari: "Ah, sorry. Actually, I just got out of the shower."
Fuuka: "Oh, sorry..."
Yukari: "It's fine. So then, I'll tell Senpai so just wait there, okay?"
Fuuka: "Mm, thanks. Then, I'll see you in a little while."
- SFX: [Yukari closes her phone]
Yukari: "Thanks, Senpai. Can you put it back?"
Kirijou: "What's wrong?"
Yukari: "It looks like Fuuka's door won't open so she can't get out..."
Kirijou: "She can't get out? ... Perhaps that strange sound from earlier may have something to do with it..."
Yukari: (Surprised) "Huh!? ... Uh, I wonder..."
Kirijou: "... Well, for now, I'll go check it out."
Yukari: "Ah, Senpai! It might be a good idea to call Aigis too! She's gotten pretty good at picking locks la---" (sneezes)
Kirijou: "Yukari. Dry yourself off before you catch a cold. You really will catch a cold like this."
- SFX: [Kirijou starts to leave]
Yukari: (shudders)
Kirijou: "... Still, it's strange. She has her key, but she can't get out...? I've never heard of such a thing happening here before..."
- SFX: [Kirijou tries opening her room's door]
Kirijou: "Mm...?"
- SFX: [Kirijou repeatedly tries to move the doorknob]
Kirijou: "What...!?"
- BGM: Troubled
Kirijou: "The door won't open...!"
Yukari: "What...!? No way, here too!?"
- SFX: [Kirijou continues trying to open the door]
- SFX: [Kirijou's phone starts to ring. She picks it up.]
Kirijou: "... It's Akihiko. This timing..."
- SFX: [Kirijou receives the call]
Kirijou: "It's me."
Sanada: "Mitsuru, actually---"
Kirijou: "You can't open your door?"
Sanada: "Don't tell me it's the same there too!?"
Kirijou: "Yamagishi's room as well."
Sanada: "The heck is going on...? Could all the rooms be affected too...?"
Kirijou: "If it's all of them, then I may have some idea as to what's going on. I'll try and verify things from my end. For now, you try getting in contact with the others."
Sanada: "Got it."
- SFX: [Sanada hangs up]
Yukari: "You know what's going on?"
Kirijou: "This dorm was originally built as a shelter against Shadows. The doors have automated locks as part of the defense systems."
Yukari: "Wait, by Shadows, you mean---"
Kirijou: "No, it can't be Shadows. It's not the Dark Hour yet. It seems there may be a malfunction... How troublesome. If we can't get out, then..."
Yukari: "Ah... How about you try asking Fuuka to help?"
Kirijou: "I see, that could help."
- SFX: [Kirijou calls Fuuka]
Fuuka: "---Ah, yes, hello?"
Kirijou: "Yamagishi. Sorry, but can you access the dorm's systems from your end and check things out? Use my name and password. The password shouldn't have changed since before."
Fuuka: "I, I understand. I'll get my computer and see what I can find."
Kirijou: "I'll leave it to you. I'll try calling the lab from my end."
- SFX: [Kirijou tries contacting the labs]
Yukari: "Oh, right... I guess we should have called the lab first, huh?"
Kirijou: "However, considering the time, I wonder if it will get through..."
- SFX: [... It seems there's no one at the lab at this time. Kirijou hangs up.]
Kirijou: "[...]##UNFINISHED##[...]."
- SFX: [Yukari's phone rings]
Yukari: "Ah, it's Fuuka. That was fast!"
- SFX: [Yukari receives the call]
Fuuka: "Hello? Yukari-chan? I accessed the dorm's system just now, but..."
Yukari: "Have you figured out what's going on?"
Fuuka: "It says that the doors haven't been locked at all.
Yukari: "What...?"
- BGM: Just Like This...
Fuuka: "The system doesn't seem to be having any problems, and there wasn't any order to lock the doors either. It's possible that there's a physical malfunction somewhere, but I can't verify that with just my computer."
Kirijou: "What did Yamagishi say?"
Yukari: "She checked it out, but she still doesn't know what's wrong..."
Kirijou: "... I see..."
Yukari: "Ah, thanks Fuuka."
Fuuka: "... I guess we can't all watch movies together like this, huh?"
Yukari: "Guess not... We'll contact you again later."
Fuuka: "Mm, later then."
- SFX: [Yukari hangs up]
Kirijou: "There's no point in getting impatient like this. I'll inform everyone of the situation and we'll wait until morning. If the situation hasn't resolved itself by then, I'll call the lab once more."
Yukari: "Hm..."
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Sanada: "It's the same for everyone else. I just called them all. It seems that everyone heard a strange sound just before the doors got locked too. I guess all we can do for now is wait until morning, huh? It'd be nice if everything resolved itself over time, though... I don't want my training to be disrupted just before the final battle..."
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Aigis: "Yes! Certainly, it's possible that there may have been a system crash. It seems that windows have been affected as well. It may be difficult to limit the damage if I were to try to break through them. ... Yes. For now, I will remain on standby."
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Amada: "Yes, only the door won't open. Everything else seems to be fine. But thanks to this situation, I ended up waking up... Huh? I already went to the toilet!! Why are you worrying about that!? Don't treat me like a child!"
- SFX: [A dial tone...]
Junpei: "Me? I'm in Aragaki-san's room with Sanada-san. Eh? ... Well, that's just kinda how things developed. ... Also, since a while ago, Sanada's been rummaging through the room. Ahh, Yukaricchi, save me! At this rate, I won't be able to settle down until morning...!"
- SFX: [A phone is hung up]

Kirijou: "... And that's the current situation."
Leader: "Understood."
Koromaru: (Bark!)
Kirijou: "...? Is Koromaru there with you?"
Leader: "A, Ahh... ... Sorry..."
Kirijou: "No... I was worried about Koromaru being all alone in the lounge. If he's with you, I can put my mind at ease. I'll leave him to you."
Leader: "Got it."
Kirijou: "Things will probably stay this way until morning. If anything comes up, I'll contact you. For now, just rest."
Leader: "Got it. Good night."
- SFX: [Leader hangs up his phone]
Koromoaru: (whines and claws at the door)
Leader: "... Are you worried about what's going on outside?"
Koromaru: (worried whine...)
Leader: "Aha... But, we can't really do anything until morning. Let's just go back to sleep."
- SFX: [Leader settles into bed]
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "It's fine. There's nothing to worry about."
Koromaru: (whine...)
Leader: "Good night, Koromaru..."

TRACK 04
- BGM: The Voice Someone Calls
- SFX: [The sound of machinery and a door lock being fiddled with]
Aigis: "How strange... Is it really a malfunction? Even if it's a special lock... No matter how I look at it, this doesn't feel like a malfunction... But then, why won't the door open...?"
- SFX: [The sound of something appearing...]
Aigis: "...!?"
Mysterious Girl: "Good evening."
Aigis: "You're...!"
Mysterious Girl: "Pleased to meet you, Aigis."
Aigis: "Black hair... Based on the physical appearance, a young girl..."
- SFX: [The whirring of machinery]
Aigis: "The heat sensors aren't picking up anything. You are... the one I met in September of last year..."
Mysterious Girl: "Eh...!? You... remember everything from back then...?"
Aigis: "Are you the one who has locked us all in?"
Mysterious Girl: "...? Locked in...?"
Aigis: "Right now, all of the doors in this dorm have been forcibly locked due to an unknown cause. We're unable to leave."
Mysterious Girl: "Oh... So that's what's happening? I'm sorry, I don't know anything..."
Aigis: "Everyone seems to believe that it's a malfunction in the security system, however... I believe that the cause may be something else. And then suddenly, you appeared before me."
Mysterious Girl: "I see... With that timing, it's only natural to suspect me, isn't it?"
Aigis: "Ah...! No, I'm sorry... Now that I think about it, there's no reason to suspect you..."
Mysterious Girl: (giggles) "It's fine."
- SFX: [footsteps]
Mysterious Girl: "Your theory that it's not the locks is probably correct, Aigis. Since the two areas are connected, there should have been alarm of some sort if that were the case, but there wasn't.
Aigis: "Connected...?"
Mysterious Girl: "Since that's the case, it's probably neither an error, nor anything from outside."
Aigis: "What do you mean?"
Mysterious Girl: "My circumstances are... a little special, so I know. Even without keys or doors, it's possible for a people to be trapped within themselves."
Aigis: "Trapped within themselves...? Such as being too afraid to leave a place... is that what you're saying?"
Mysterious Girl: "That's one way to look at it, but... How should I put it... Such as joining hands with those important to you and being surrounded by happiness, but... being unable to move beyond that. There are many people like that."
Aigis: "I..."
Mysterious Girl: "It's a little complicated, isn't it? It's only natural for someone who's found happiness to wish that such a time could last forever."
Aigis: "I... It's true that I also... But that was just a thought I had. There's no way for it to physically lock the doors."
Mysterious Girl: "Mm... That's true..."
Aigis: "... ..."
Mysterious Girl: (giggles) "But, I'm surprised! Aigis, you've really changed from before!"
Aigis: "Eh?"
Mysterious Girl: "Like the way you talk, it's like you're a living, breathing human! It's amazing~ It's the power of everyone's feelings, I think."
Aigis: "The power of... feelings...?"

TRACK 05
- BGM: Memories of the City
- SFX: [The rattling of a cage]
Amada: "Here's your food."
- SFX: [A hamster's squeaking]
Amada: "... ... Once we defeat Nyx, S.E.E.S. will probably be disbanded. Once that happens, I guess I'll have to return to the primary school's dorm. Since it's a normal dorm, I won't be able to bring a hamster with me. It'd be fine if I could keep you hidden like before, but if I end up getting a roommate, I won't be able to bring you after all. ... I'll need to find someone to take care of you before then... ... As long as I'm here, I'm someone's comrade. Even though they don't say anything, everyone always looks right at me. Even after everything that happened back then, even though they knew about everything... They still called me their comrade. ... It's not as if I'll never see them again, but... I guess we won't need this place anymore... ... ... I don't want that... To be honest, rather than just go back to a normal life... ... I want to stay here..."
- SFX: [A strange noise...]

- SFX: [The sound of machinery being used]
Fuuka: "... It's too bad, but, I guess watching movies together is impossible tonight."
- SFX: [A movie is playing in the background.]
Fuuka: "... Come to think of it, this is... the last movie I watched together with Natsuki-chan... Fighting desperately to prevent the end of the world... And the protagonist and his comrades who somehow managed to win standing together in the sunlight in the final scene... Before I realized it, I was crying... And I continued crying even after we left the theatre... Natsuki-chan was like, 'Hey, they won, didn't they? It was a happy ending!' ... At first, even I didn't know why I was crying... But now, I understand."
- SFX: [Fuuka turns off the movie]
Fuuka: "No matter how desperately they try to live, the world will still come to an end someday. The happiness they managed to achieve in the last scene won't last forever. Probably, even without realizing, I probably understood that unconsciously and wasn't able to contain my emotions. ... Of course, that it's because it doesn't last forever that it shines is something I understand now, but... I still can't help but long for it..."

Junpei: "JEEZ, THAT'S LOUD...! AH, TIME OUT, TIME OUT!! AHHH, SANADA-SAN...!!"
Sanada: "HOW'S THAT!? WITH THIS, EVEN YOU SHOULD WAKE UP!"
Junpei: "DAA---"

Sanada: "... What a nostalgic sound... Back when Shinji still lived here, this alarm would sound in the mornings, and since I was right next door, I'd be the first to wake up because of it."
Junpei: "Uhe... But, is it really okay for me to have something like this?"
Sanada: "Don't worry about it. It's better than letting it go to waste."
Junpei: "That might be true, but... It's like a memento, isn't it? It's something that brings back memories when you hear it, right? That's..."
Sanada: "What of it? [...]##UNFINISHED##[...]"
Junpei: "Well, normally, wouldn't you wanna hold onto it? ... If it were me, I couldn't even imagine giving away Chidori's pencils or anything else to anyone."
Sanada: "If I just stored it away, then there wouldn't be an end to it."
Junpei: "Wha--- What's with that...? Don't you feel sorry for Aragaki-san!?
- BGM: Living With Determination
Sanada: "... Junpei..."
Junpei: (voice shaking) "... Back then... When Chidori was drawing... She had this kind of a unique way of holding her pencil... When I remembered that, I tried copying it... But then I realized I didn't how anymore... Even though I decided I'd never forget anything about her, right down to the smallest detail...! Even though I decided... But I couldn't stop myself from forgetting those details..."
Sanada: "... ..."
Junpei: "Even though it's my head... Why can't it just stay still...?"
Sanada: "... ... Junpei..."

- SFX: [The sound of tea being poured]
Kirijou: "It's ready."
Yukari: "Mmm~ What a great aroma~ Then, I won't hold back! ---OW!"
Kirijou: "... Are you alright? You should always remember to blow on it first."
Yukari: "Ahh... But it's still good~ Well, normally I remember to blow on it, but... It's pretty rare for Lady Mitsuru to prepare tea for someone, isn't it?"
Kirijou: "Hmhm... I wonder."
- SFX: [The sound of a phone being used]
Kirijou: "... ... It's still not connecting."
Yukari: "It's still pretty late, after all... If it gets dangerous, we could always just smash the door down, couldn't we?"
Kirijou: "I suppose..."
- SFX: [Kirijou closes her phone]
Kirijou: "What's wrong? You're surprisingly composed."
Yukari: "Well of course it bothers me a little. But... Thinking about stuff like Nyx and such... In comparison to that stuff, I guess."
Kirijou: "Hmhm... I suppose there's that too."
Yukari: "I think I'll have another, if that's alright."
- SFX: [The sound of tea being poured]
Kirijou: "I'm rather envious... You always seem to be enjoying yourself. I'm somewhat weak to caffeine, to be honest."
Yukari: "It's fine at times like this, isn't it?"
- BGM: Memories of the School
Kirijou: "Well, that may be true... Fufufu... [...]##UNFINISHED##[...]"
Yukari: "But you know, Senpai... You've really changed. Come to think of it, maybe I did too."
Kirijou: "Hm?"
Yukari: "Well, don't you remember how it was back in April? Could you have imagined it? Me coming into Senpai's room and us having tea together?"
Kirijou: "Ahaha... That's true... But, I always thought that the one who broke down that wall was you."
Yukari: "Let's stop talking about who did what. It's just that I experienced the same pain as you first. ... A pair of girls who miss their papas... is a pretty unique case, isn't it?"
Kirijou: "... I see."
Yukari: "Hey, Senpai... Even after everything's over... Let's keep getting along, okay?"
Kirijou: "Mm?"
Yukari: "Even after the fighting is over, there are still things we can all share, right?"
Kirijou: "... What is it, all of a sudden?"
Yukari: "... You might get mad at me if I say this but... more than the Dark Hour disappearing... I'd rather have the time we have now continue on forever... to be honest, that's what I thought."
Kirijou: "... 'Let time be still, for thou art beautiful'... is it?"
Yukari: "Huh?"
Kirijou: "[...]##UNFINISHED##[...]." [[She's explaining what the words before mean, but to be honest, I haven't a clue as to what she's saying...]]
Yukari: "... More literary talk...? The one we saw last year was... What was it... 'Etoriaa... Ria-ou'*...?" [[... Sorry, but I'm not really familiar with plays. Anyone know what she's talking about?]]
Kirijou: "That's not Shakespeare."
Yukari: "But, it's pretty much right on the money, isn't it?"
Kirijou: "Yes... For us, who fought for a year towards this final battle... This present may be the happiest time for us..."

... SO. As it turns out, Dreamwidth can't actually handle a post this large. So I'll have to cut this drama CD into two parts.
Part 2 can be found here. And I'm tired of trying to get this stupid HTML to work right so I'm just gonna leave it like this god.
