Synopsis

This chapter covers Tomoko’s entire winter break in one-page vignettes.

New Year

As the narration proclaims "Happy New Year!!" Tomoko sleeps with her purple stuffed toy. She awakes to a midnight text message from wishing her well. She regrets sleeping through midnight.

New Year's Card

That morning, Tomoko receives a card from an otome game character she forgot she ordered earlier in the year. She stares at it sadly.

How the New Year's Money is Spent

Later, Tomoko gleefully counts all the New Year’s money she has received, totaling in ¥50k. She uses it to slap Tomoki across the face.

The Brother's Reaction

Tomoki retaliates by putting her in an armlock as she offers to pay him to release her. When he demands what she wants, she asks how much money he received from their aunt and uncle. He refuses to tell her, but she swipes it, counts it, and smiles.

Cousin

Kii come to visit and Tomoko, in an attempt to improve their relationship, tries to bribe her with ¥1k. Kii refuses the money and even lectures her to Tomoko's embarrassment.

Concern

She later takes Tomoko to a shrine where they make their New Year’s wishes. As they walk, Kii asks her if she is hungry. When Tomoko confesses she is "a little," Kii purchases a snack for her, further embarrassing her. When Tomoko tries to pay her, Kii looks at her with wide-eyes and insists she "just take it."

Wishes

At the temple, Tomoko prays for happiness, or barring that, that everyone else should be as unhappy as she is. When she asks Kii what she wished for, Kii reveals that she wished for Tomoko’s happiness which still further embarrasses her.

First Dream of the Year

During the night, Kii sleeps next to Tomoko in her room. Tomoko overhears Kii speak in her sleep: "Onee-chan . . . shake" which confirms her suspicion that Kii sees her as a pitiful puppy.

Playing Alone

Some time after Ki leaves, Tomoko relaxes uses her massager on her shoulders as she reads a magazine. She reads about a "special offer" "pin the tail on the donkey" otomegame. She thinks she only needs a poster, thinks a bit, then starts playing a game on her own. Her father walks in to give her money he forgot to give her to find her blind-folded, holding her massager, about to place what looks like a nipple on a poster of a shirtless character from one of her otome games.

Happiness
