"Katase and I aren't like that yet..." "Aya, are you maybe pretending to be alright?" "What?" "If you ran away because it's too painful or something," "Miyu doesn't think that's good." "I want you to become lovey-dovey with the person you really like." "Don't worry." "I don't think I'm pretending." "No prob, no prob." "If it's what Aya's decided, then it's okay."

"Well, your boyfriend's eternally poor, so I guess it ain't happening." "Ouch!" "Hey, brother, that really hurt." "You go work a little, too!" "Mami-rin said if I bought her presents," "I could visit Shibuya from time to time, so I worked my butt off!" "Just so I could see Ran." "Second Place, I had no idea you loved Shibuya that much." "You make me cry." "N-No, that's not it." "I want to see you..." "Shibuya time is over!" "What?" "!" "Already?" "!" "You said I could stay here all day today!" "I've changed my mind." "Starting now, I've decided it's lovey-dovey time with Mami-rin!" "N-No way..." "Ran!" "Hey, Second Place!" "At least treat me to something before going!" "Brother, adios amigo!" "Oh, Aya!" "You're late!" "It's way past the time we were supposed to meet up." "Sorry, I kind of have to cancel today." "What?" "There's an exhibition that ends today and Katase says he really wants to see it with me..." "Miss Hoshino, let's go." "Oh, sorry!" "Bye." "It's not like Aya to ditch us at the last minute."

"I was just thinking that Ran and the others would get bored right away." "I know!" "Why don't we go hang out somewhere with Ran and the others next time?" "What's wrong?" "Sure, when there's time." "Okay." "What's that?" "Oh, this?" "It's a matching piece with Ran and Miyu." "I think it's better not to wear such flashy things too much." "What?" "You have a clean image, so there's some sense of incongruity there." "You think so?" "I can't get used to school at night, no matter how many times I've been on night-watch duty." "What?" "!" "Wha?"

"You'll miss your stop if you're spaced out." "T-Thank you." "Long time no see." "Could it be that you've heard some things from Ran and the others?" "Yeah, vaguely." "If it's what you've decided, that's fine." "What?" "Okay." "Later." "Miss Hoshino." "Morning." "Morning, Katase." ""Give a colloquial translation for the following underlined part.""

"Using a paper plane..." "I sort of feel like 007." "Short on sleep?" "A little." "Katase, I haven't asked what Ran and the others have planned yet, but how about we all go to karaoke on the way home?" "What?" "But..." "Finals are coming up, so we can't just play all the time, right?" "Let's study together today." "What?" "Okay?" "S-Sure." "Naka Teach, you here?" "!" "Were you seen by anyone?" "I-I don't think so." "Then, I will get to the subject at hand." "Kotobuki, do you believe in ghosts?" "Huh?" "!" "Huh?" "What's this about?" "One showed up..." "A ghost..." "Pfff!" "That's so stupid!" "Are you serious, Naka Teach?" "!" "I really saw it!" "I've got night-watch duty again tonight!" "Come make the rounds with me!" "That's the top secret mission?" "This is stupid."

"So it means they're still in lovey-dovey mode, right?" "I hear Katase's the son of a rich family..." "I'd hate it if Aya becomes harder to approach, too." "Hey, Miyu, what're you saying?" "Our solidarity's tougher than a rock!" "No prob, no prob!" "There's nothing to worry about!" "Yeah, you're right." "Sorry for being so silly." "The bond we share isn't so fragile, is it?" "Other than that, just remember the major dates around here and you should be all set." "Thank you." "I absolutely can't afford to mess up this final, so you've been a great help." "Well, I just hope my predictions are right." "I'm sure it'll be fine." "This is your prediction and you always get over 90 points." "So, I guess you're still wearing that..." "I still think it's better if you don't wear things like that." "But this matches what Ran and Miyu have, so..." "You know, you've changed." "What?" "When you first came to the school, you weren't the type of girl to wear accessories." "K-Katase..." "Maybe it'd be better if you didn't hang out with that crowd." ""That crowd"?" "You mean Ran and the others?" "Yeah." "It's their fault that you've changed." "You wear flashier outfits and put on accessories..." "If you're with them, people will think you're stupid, too." "You're worthy of more intellectual" "That's awful!" "I never thought you were the kind of person to say things like that!" "You're the one who doesn't understand!" "We're a lot like one another." "You want the approval of your parents and the school too, right?" "!" "You always want to be in a position to be praised, right?" "!" "If so, you have to eliminate the things that get in your way!"

"Well, just make sure spring doesn't come first." "What?" "!" "Yes?" "This is Kotobuki!" "Aya?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Do you have full reception?" "!" "Aya, are you crying?" "Hey, what's wrong?" "I won't know if you just keep crying!" "Did something happen?" "!" "Where are you right now?" "Hey!" "Miyu!" "Right." "We'll find Aya-ppe!" "Yeah, let's hit all the places she might go to." "Sorry, Mami-rin." "Take care of this!" "What the heck is this?" "!" "Sorry, Mami-rin!" "Hey, come on!" "It's not my problem if you get fired!" "I looked in all the shops Aya-ppe might go to, but she's not in any of them!" "I'll go hit the area around her cram school." "I don't see her in front of the train station, either." "Aya, where are you?" "Aya!" "Ran..." "After all this time, I finally understand what Otohata meant." "I went along with whatever Katase said and I came really close to losing what was precious to me." "Otohata's been saying all those things for my sake..." "Why didn't I notice that before?" "I've realized that I really do like Otohata in the end." "But I can't take things back now, can I?" "Aya..." "That's so like you, Aya." "You worry too much about things like love and the future..." "But that's what makes you Aya." "So what's wrong with that?" "As long as you really are your own person, just like Otohata said." "Ran..." "Yeah, maybe I still have a chance." "I'll do my best!" "Ooh, you gonna go for it again?" "Gag!" "There're better guys out there than Ototchi!" "Well, I guess it can't be helped." "Then let's have you get right to it and take on Ototchi!" "What?" "!" "Wait!" "I'm not emotionally ready yet!" "Oh, shoot!" "Ran, what's wrong?" "I forgot about photographing the ghost..." "That damn Kotobuki." "She's incredibly late as always!" "Hurry up and get here!" "Wha?" "!" "It's a ghost!" "I swear!" "Scaring me like that..." "Sorry, sorry." "Now, where's that ghost?" "!" "I'll capture it on film and get the reward!"

"That ghost's got legs!" "It's not a ghost!" "It's a thief!" "After him, Kotobuki!" "What?" "I'll treat you to a super large beef bowl!" "For real?" "!" "Alright!" "Damn thief, hold it right there!" "Hey, you!" "If you don't stop, you're gonna hurt for it!" "Lethal Platform Kick!" "Y-You're..." "K-Katase..." "Miss Hoshino, why are you..." "Oh, this is..." "This disk..." "What's going on?" "I guess I've finally been caught..." "Staying constantly in the top of your class is quite hard, really." "Unless you do something like this..." "I wonder what Father will say..." "Don't tell me you've been stealing test questions from the computers..." "That's right." "What is the meaning of this?" "An excellent student like you shouldn't have to do this..." "That's exactly why." "I have to live up to that." "I have to keep up pretenses so I don't betray my parents' expectations." "That's why..." "You're practically like a puppet." "There's nothing of who you are in any of that." "Did you actually feel alive living like that?" "That was when I met Miss Hoshino." "I got the sense that she was like me, so I thought we could understand each other." "But I was wrong." "Because unlike me, Miss Hoshino was her own person." "Aya, are you crying?" "I could really understand how Katase felt, so it just made me feel very sad." "If I hadn't met the two of you, I probably would have also..." "So I realized I'm really lucky to have such precious friends by my side." "Of course, we're here!" "There's an intense bond between us!" "We'll always be super friends." "Yeah." "Thank you so much for today." "Yes?" "This is Hoshino." "Oh, it's me." "I heard you ran into some trouble?" "Otohata..." "Otohata!" "Hey, you okay?" "Yeah, I-I'm okay." "I can't stop crying..." "Talk to him for me..." "Yeah, okay, okay." "Hello!" "It's Ran-pyon." "I guess you're hyper even at night." "Decide for yourself, huh?" "I guess even some of the things you say are right once in a while." "Moron." "I'm just always coolheaded, unlike you." "What?" "!" "The one who calls people morons is the moron!" "What are you, a kid?" "A kid?" "!" "How dare you call me a kid?" "!" "I'm hanging up." "Did Aya sound like she's alright?" "Well, with Kotobuki there, I'm sure she'll be alright." "Nevermind that..." "Why'd I end up getting dragged into this?" "I guess it's just that Ran-pyon power exploding." "I see." "What?" "!" "What was that "I see" about?" "!" "Could it be that you're crushing on Ran-pyon?" "!" "What?" "!" "Well, I'm going back to work." "What's it mean that he didn't answer?" "!" "Brother, explain it to me!" "D-Don't ask me!" "Machida Black Sixth Sense!" "It bugs me!" "It bugs me!" "Hey, let go!" "Come on, calm down!" "After that, with Mr. Nakanishi handling things considerately, the incident was never publicized and Katase transferred to a school overseas." "It was two weeks later that I received an airmail letter from Katase." "He wrote that studying abroad was the first decision he made that was not in line with his parents' expectations and also that he envied the fact that I had friends like Ran and the others."
