Tear Jerker / My Sweet Bodyguard

• In Subaru's route of the New Years side story, he and the protagonist end up meeting Goto during their New Years Day shrine visit, and accompany him to see a small waterfall... a place that Kazuki had introduced him to. He and Subaru spend some time quietly reminiscing about Kazuki. Throughout the conversation, Goto looks both fond and sad; before they part ways, he advises Subaru to always protect the protagonist even if she finds it annoying, and tells the two of them to always stick together. The encounter leaves the normally-confident Subaru shaken and subdued for the rest of the day, thinking about how easily that could be him, and about what he'd do if he ever lost the protagonist.
