Honey Lemon Soda (2025) s01e12 Episode Script

♪
[UKA]
I may as well have not existed.
Back then,
I felt nothing
and thought nothing.
I want to change.
Each time,
my wishes died
without coming true.
No one felt anything
when I was around.
Or if they did, it was pity.
It hurts.
I feel awful.
Is this how life is?
What could change it?

My mind is fuzzy.
Am I dreaming?
I must be
just like before.
Miura?

I love you.
Hm?

If I'm dreaming,
I can say anything.
I want to be yours.
Make me your girlfriend.
[UKA]
Yeah.
Just a dream.
How else could this happen?
Could I ever be so lucky?

And if that wasn't bad enough,
I passed out right after.
-[AYUMI] Whoa!
-[Uka gasps]

about that? -Hello?
I wonder.
Did I scare him?

-I must have!
'Sup, besties?!

[UKA] Are things gonna
go back to normal?

that I told him.
Beyond that, I don't know.
[Ayumi chuckles awkwardly]
[AYUMI]
That's so you.
[UKA]
I guess
typically,
the other person replies?

something he wants to say, too.
Now is the time.
Yeah?
Take the step.

Go find someone.
Ask for help.
You try to mess with her again,

What happened to our cute,

You're gonna
shake her head right off!
I don't think we're going out!
He said you're in love,
didn't he?
How the heck
are you not going out yet?
Well, no one said
anything about dating.
People can go out
without making it official.

Huh?

But don't you wanna
make it official
and actually be his girlfriend?
More than anything!
Yeah, of course.
But I figured
there were still some steps
before that?
I mean, like,
what is dating, actually?

first love she could have.

she's telling people, lately.
But what do you think?
Figures.
Ishimori.
Hmm.

Yes?

So calm.
Hey, Kai?
Why do you still call her
"Ishimori?"

jump straight to first names,
even with people you just met.
-Yeah, good point.

You're still acting
formal with her,
after all this time.
Any reason?

her first name?
