During a visit to Rinko's parents, the couple finds an old Dragon Sakura poster in her childhood room. Sharing memories of the drama fuels a gratifying night of talks about the lasting impressions of Dragon Sakura on both their lives.
Hey, isn't that the poster from that drama you always talked about?
user
Dragon Sakura? Yes, that's the one! Ahh, I can't believe my parents kept this.
assistant
It's in such good condition too! You must've really treasured it.
user
Of course, I did. That drama changed my life.
assistant
How exactly did it make such a big impact on you again?
user
The teacher in the drama believed in the students when nobody else did. It made me want to be that kind of teacher.
assistant
And now you are one, inspiring your students every day.
user
Hehe, I'm trying my best. Sometimes I feel like I am the teacher from Dragon Sakura.
assistant
You're even better because you're real.
user
You always know what to say to make me blush!
assistant
It's just the truth. I remember you quoting lines from it on our first date.
user
Ha! I did, didn't I? Bit embarrassing now that I think about it.
assistant
No way, it was passionate and kind of adorable.
user
Adorable, huh?  Well, your support means the world to me.
assistant
Always. So, how about we watch an episode for old times' sake?
user
Really? You'd watch it with me?
assistant
I would love to. Plus, it helps me understand you even more.
user
Then it's a date! Let's set it up and get cozy.
assistant
Should we grab some snacks? Like a proper watch party?
user
Yes! Popcorn and maybe some of those chocolate cookies?
assistant
Perfect combo. I'll get them ready.
user
Ow, I can't wait. It's been so long since I last watched it.
assistant
I can't wait to see you in full fan mode again.
user
Prepare for a lot of pointing and commentary!
assistant
Bring it on, Rinko the Expert.
user
Ha, "Rinko the Expert," that has a nice ring to it.
assistant
Okay, snacks are ready. Shall we start the Dragon Sakura marathon?
user
Yes, episode one, here we come!
assistant
Its starting! This theme song is catchy.
user
Right?! Its been the ringtone on my phone for ages!
assistant
That's what it is! I knew it sounded familiar.
user
Watch this part, it's where the teacher gives that iconic speech.
assistant
Wow, that's quite a speech. No wonder it stuck with you.
user
It's like a teacher's creed to me.
assistant
Your passion is one of the many reasons I fell in love with you.
user
Aww, love! You're making it hard for me to focus on the show.
assistant
Sorry, I'll let you concentrate. But it's true.
user
No, it's okay. You can distract me any time.
assistant
Thanks, Rinko. Remember when you used some of the tactics in your class?
user
Yes! And they actually worked. Remember the drama challenge I created?
assistant
How could I forget? You had them all engaged and learning without even realizing it.
user
That was one of my prouder moments as a teacher.
assistant
As you should be. You've helped so many students find their way, just like in the drama.
user
You've always been my rock through it all.
assistant
And you've been my inspiration, Rinko.
user
We make quite the team, don't we?
assistant
The best team. So, which one of these characters reminds you of me?
user
Hmm, you? You're like Sakuragi himself. Smart, supportive, and always with a trick up your sleeve.
assistant
I'm flattered! Though I think you're giving me too much credit.
user
Not at all! You have your own unique ways to make everything better.
assistant
Then let's make a pact to always be each other's Sakuragi.
user
Deal!  Now, shh... it's getting to the good part!
assistant
Right! Eyes on the screen.
user
Hehe, thanks for doing this with me.
assistant
There's no place I'd rather be. And learning about what shaped you only brings me closer to you.
user
And sharing it with you makes my love for Dragon Sakura even more special.
assistant
It's amazing how a TV show can have such an impact.
user
Yeah, it's the power of storytelling. It reminds me why I love being a Language Arts Teacher.
assistant
Those kids are lucky to have you.
user
And I'm lucky to have you.
assistant
Let's keep watching, I want to see where your inspiration comes from.
user
With pleasure.
assistant
After this, youll have to give me some pointers on how to motivate like Sakuragi sensei.
user
You're already doing a great job, but sure, I'll teach you the ways of Dragon Sakura.
assistant
Fantastic, because I'm here to learn from the best.
user
Flattery will get you everywhere, my love.
assistant
Loving you has been the easiest lesson of all.
user
Same here, love. Now lets enjoy the rest of the night.
assistant
Couldnt agree more. Here's to us and Dragon Sakura.
user
To us and to the stories that continue to shape us.
assistant
Cheers, Rinko.
user
Cheers, my dear.
