Season 1 Episode 3 End Card

At the Iwatobi Station Platform
Before Rei and Nagisa became good friends

Rei: Uh, Nagisa-kun?
Nagisa: Ye~s, Rei-chan?
Rei: Why…are you following me?
Nagisa: I thought we should go home together!
Rei: ~…(he’s still not used to Nagisa) I did not even say one word about going home with the likes of you…
Nagisa: But we have the same train station, so it’s fine, right? Let’s go home together!  It’s way more fun to go home with the two of us then alone!
Rei: Uh…okay, just for today though.

Inside the Train

Nagisa: Ahh…(falls asleep)
Rei: AH! If you’re going to sleep, isn’t this exactly like going home alone? And besides, you shouldn’t use someone else’s shoulder as a pillow!
Nagisa: Guh…Rei-chan is so noisy.
Rei: Na~gi~sa~KUN~~~~!! (gets mad) Ahhh! We’re at the stop! Come on, wake up Nagisa-kun!
Nagisa: Hnn? (sleepy) 5 more minutes…
Rei: What are you even saying? We’re going to pass our stop!

At the Iwatobi Train Station Platform
Some time has passed, and Nagisa and Rei have become good friends.

Rei: …And that’s what happened.
Nagisa: Ahaha, something like that happened?
Rei: You can’t make me say that I did not remember that! And besides, your drool was completely covered all over my shoulder! And right now!
Nagisa: Hehe ☆
Rei: This is the fifth time! You’re always…always!!!
Nagisa: Rei-chan! I learned though!
Rei: Wha―what? Looking at me with that sparkle in your eyes…You’re trying to avoid the matter at hand, but I will not allow that!
Nagisa: No, you’re wrong! I just came up with an ingenious method!
Rei: …Method…?
Nagisa: Here we go! A handkerchief! I’ll just leave this on Rei-chan’s shoulder and by doing so, all of my drool will be soaked up with this instead!
Rei: I see…so you’re trying to protect my shoulder? Then why did you not prepare this method before you fell asleep while leaning on my shoulder? I just don’t understand!
Nagisa: Eh!? But that’s because Rei-chan’s shoulder is…just the right height for me! Look☆ (he demonstrates by putting his head on his shoulder)
Rei: “Look☆” AS IF! Please wake up properly. Why is it that every time, every SINGLE time I am the one who has to shake you awake in order to get off at our stop?
Nagisa: But that’s because Rei-chan is good at waking me up! So that’s why if I have someone I can go home with, I feel really safe~!

Rei acts really awkwardly because he can’t voice how happy he is to hear those words.

Rei: Please don’t use refer to me as something like a good luck charm…
Nagisa: Well, it’s definitely more fun when there’s two of us instead of one! Anyway, let’s go home together~!
Rei: Wait a second, Nagisa-kun! Don’t pull on my arm!

Inside the Train
Nagisa falls asleep.

Nagisa: *murmurs in his sleep*
Rei (to himself): You ended up doing the same thing again…(he starts drifting off)…Ah…this is bad…even I feel like falling asleep now…and the handkerchief isn’t even placed on my shoulder, honestly…! But if I were to move now, I would wake Nagisa-kun…It’s no use…I’m at my limit…

Rei falls asleep.
Some time passes.

Nagisa: *grumbles* Wait, waht? Where are we? Oh my god we missed our stop! Hey Rei-cha…wait, he’s sleeping? Haha, I got to see a rare side of Rei-chan~☆ Ah, his shoulder is covered in drool again! I wonder how many times this is now. But times like these call for a handkerchief right!

Rei is still sleeping.

Rei: *snoozing*
Nagisa: If we stay like this, we’ll get to the last train stop. I wonder if we can even go home? Well, it’s okay because as long as Rei-chan is here, I know we’ll be all right ☆
