"﻿It's destiny." "﻿I want you to take responsibility." "﻿So that means you can fall in love with me!" "he's got zeal." "if nothing else... ﻿Oh." "﻿Risako!" "﻿I'm glad I ran into you." "I think I left my travel backpack here." "﻿Okay." "I can't believe it Looks exactly the same as when I left." "but I really did love you." "﻿Remind me who got herself another ﻿man and walked out on me again?" "but... ﻿I would have preferred being told that you didn't love me anymore." "﻿The hardest thing for me... was the fact that ﻿you didn't even care enough to dislike me." "﻿Miyagi." "﻿Thank you for loving me." "﻿It's not that I don't care." "﻿I just don't try to care." "that's the way it is." "love that lasts forever." "you'll have to say goodbye." "put the lid on the past and move on?" "I'm not positive enough for that either." "I simply don't think anything at all." "﻿I'm home." "you're back awfully early today!" "﻿Do excuse me for making such a mess." "﻿I'll be out of your way immediately." "﻿Stay here." "It's your own damn house." "no... ﻿I've been practicing my cooking it's gonna be good today." "I'm glad you're so eager to learn!" "﻿But I'm not hungry... ﻿Miyagi!" "﻿Don't run away!" "Don't you have any balls?" "﻿What the hell do balls have to do with this?" "﻿Quit trying to make a gay man out of me!" "﻿Just wait a minute!" "﻿Oh..." "I'm sorry." "﻿Who's that?" "﻿Dunno." "that was you in that picture!" "﻿Could be." "﻿Who was that next to you?" "﻿Dunno." "﻿You're lying!" "Who was it?" "!" "shut up." "It's just my homeroom teacher from high school." "﻿Why are you carrying it around like it's important... ﻿Takatsuki-kun." "﻿Don't stick your nose into other people's lives." "﻿It's none of your damn business." "﻿I-It is too!" "﻿Of course I'm gonna wonder who's showing ﻿up in pictures next to the man I love." "﻿Just because you've got some silly notions lodged in your ﻿head doesn't mean you can push other people around." "﻿Don't drop words like "love" and "destiny" around so easily!" "﻿This is why I hate kids...!" "﻿When did I ever say them easily?" "!" "﻿I..." "I'd still love you even if you died!" "﻿Why does he keep barging into my privacy like this?" "﻿Why are you so hung up on me?" "﻿Because... ﻿All I did was save you from a couple of thugs." "That's not destiny." "in the library...!" "﻿Then... sleep with me." "﻿Huh?" "figure something out." "﻿And maybe I'll get disgusted with you and give up the whole thing!" "﻿Of all the stupid things you could have said... that's all!" "the end!" "I'll give up then!" "﻿All right Then put me in the mood." "isn't it?" "﻿Co-Course it is" "﻿I do this all the time." "﻿Notch my ass!" "﻿Your hands are shaking." "﻿Why are you going this far?" "﻿Because I love you." "he can't do a damn thing." "he just barges in without permission wherever he damn well pleases." "﻿It's almost as if I'm looking at my old self... it pisses me off." "﻿Wha-What...?" "!" "throws everything off balance." "wait... ﻿That's why I shouldn't get near him." "and yet..." "﻿Mi-Miyagi!" "you couldn't do it huh?" "﻿Shut up!" "﻿Just get on with it." "﻿That's enough." "﻿This stupid game is over." "﻿Miyagi!" "﻿Don't... embarrass me." "﻿This isn't about shame." "﻿Think about what it is you're trying to do here." "﻿I know damn well what it is... this is good." "﻿Saved myself a lot of trouble." "﻿I'm sorry." "this is how it should be." "that's all." "﻿What am I getting so upset about?" "!" "﻿Shinobu-chin doesn't come around anymore." "﻿Eh?" "and he seems the same as always." "really..." "Okay then." "is that so?" "He's just the same as always?" "﻿While I'm lying here getting unnecessarily irritated..." "﻿Why can't I just get this out of my mind?" "﻿It's almost as if I were." "﻿As freakin' if!" "what are you doing?" "!" "﻿And after I went through all that trouble to sort them!" "﻿Say whatever you want i'm busy sulking!" "just get your work done first!" "the conference materials." "they're all over the place!" "Kamijou." "﻿Yes? ﻿but I want to ask what you'd think about something." "You mind?" "﻿Not at all." "What is it?" "well..." "I wonder if you'd understand." "completely hypothetical." "so what is it?" "keeps following me around professing love for me." "the kid's a lot younger than I am." "﻿Younger?" "this kid isn't even the type I could be interested in." "without a care for how I feel." "how would you feel?" "Is it really so bad?" "then... truth is you're already in love with them." "though." "﻿But what if that other person was... a man" "﻿Just what exactly are you trying to say with this conversation?" "!" "how ﻿about you just come out and say it?" "!" "why are you blowing a fuse all of a sudden?" "!" "anyway?" "!" "your own private panic attack?" "!" "I'll admit it" "﻿So that means you can fall in love with me!" "and now suddenly he's gone." "an infinitesimal smidgen." "would I have... done it?" "that's not the issue!" "damn it!" "﻿I love you." "Sensei." "﻿Y-You must be joking!" "you're my student!" "﻿You retired already." "our relationship doesn't change!" "﻿Then change it patient?" "One without much longer to live?" "﻿I'd still love you even if you died." "﻿I got a perfect score in classical literature on the mock exam." "that's why I tried so hard." "﻿I want to go to your university." "﻿I want to be closer to you." "﻿I love you." "I just loved her so much then" "﻿Thank you for loving me." "merciless." "﻿I'm not a man with the courage to constantly ﻿keep myself positive and looking ahead." "﻿Nor even a man with the courage to simply withdraw into my shell paralyzed." "﻿U-Um I'd forgotten my notebooks." "﻿I didn't think you'd be back so soon." "﻿So..." "I'll just be leaving now." "﻿Hey." "﻿Well..." "I got some sakura tea from one of my students." "﻿So... why don't you have a cup before you go?" "﻿Er... you going to school every day?" "﻿Yeah." "by the way... um you mentioned a library." "﻿What were you talking about?" "not that it matters or anything!" "right?" "I'm surprised you know." "﻿You don't remember me?" "﻿You were always surrounded by these huge piles of weird old books... there you'd be... like you were really having fun." "you were the one who saved me that time on the street" "﻿So I thought it had to be destiny." "the only thing I really remember about you is that you were ﻿looking daggers at me at the wedding when we lit the candle..." "﻿I'd just assumed that you hated me this whole time..." "I never would have thought ﻿you'd end up being my sister's husband!" "﻿I thought my destiny was cursed!" "I heard you'd gotten divorced." "So I... huh." "﻿I thought it was destiny." "﻿I'm going home." "﻿Hey!" "﻿Sorry." "You don't have to worry about it anymore." "don't have to worry about what?" "﻿Thanks for the tea." "anything"?" "﻿Anything means anything!" "you know I." "﻿What?" "﻿What was I just about to say?" "﻿Goodbye." "﻿What the hell am I doing?" "﻿Something's changing." "I can feel it." "﻿But I... stupid man!" "There's ﻿no way this would ever be allowed!" "﻿Isn't that right?" "I" "﻿You have to forget about our daughter." "﻿Thank you for all that you've done." "as well." "would I be able to live a happy life?" "﻿Miyagi-kun." "﻿The dead never come back." "﻿Forgive me." "﻿Forgive me for making a parent say such ﻿harsh things about her own child." "will this crushing misery disappear?" "﻿Will I find my own happiness?" "too." "if I were to forget about you" "﻿Would that not be betrayal?" "﻿Hello." "Dean." "﻿Eh?" "﻿Did something happen between you and Shinobu?" "﻿Wh-Why do you ask?" "Nothing in particular..." "Shinobu's been asking me to apologize to you for him." "﻿I figured that stupid boy had done something to bother you... not at all!" "It's quite all right eh?" "Hearing ﻿he's decided to go back to Australia all of a sudden." "you didn't know?" "when is this?" "he told me last night on the phone" "I mean when is he leaving?" "his flight is today." "﻿That idiot!" "Professor!" "﻿Listen to this." "You know those materials you were talking about?" "﻿Huh?" "Professor?" "﻿Where are you going?" "﻿Shitty little brat!" "Is he playing around with me?" "!" "﻿She's dominated my every thought up until this very day." "even if it meant elbowing all that aside?" "﻿If I turn into somebody new... would ﻿that not mean I was betraying her?" "you little shit either." "﻿I just thought... maybe I want to try falling in love with you." "﻿I have no idea what's in this kid's head." "feeding him some phony garbage lines." "﻿But just these couple words from me are all it takes." "He ﻿makes this damn face... and blows all my doubts away." "he's a... for wanting to try being in love with this kid?" "﻿No... ﻿Perhaps I'm the one who has to forgive myself." "﻿The hell is this?" "a high school boy just came by and left that for you." "just what I expected."
