"On usual, precious nights, I'd be riding by your side as you take me in your car for a ride." "I hung up the phone, when you called to cancel the date I tried to pretend that there wasn't a scent of lie." "The color of my manicure, as it dries only serves to glamorize this night..." "A-ha-ha..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "Got to be more straightforward to say it but uncertainty whispers into my ear..." "'Cause I love you..." "The Actress in the Mirror... each time I act, the truth leaves further and further from my face." "You've broken my heart." "A-ha-ha..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "Got to be able to cry but my pride keeps revising my dialogue..." "'Cause I love you..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "There's no turning back now that I've realized the seriousness of the crime." "You've broken my heart." "They said... that she passed quietly, as if she'd fallen asleep..." "Got a cold?" "Well, a little." "But I should be hunky-dory by tomorrow!" "Kasuga..." "looks like I won't ever be crying again." "I've shed a lifetime's worth of tears!" "Maybe it's because Hikaru was around..." "that I fell for you, Kasuga..." "This isn't true!" "Hikaru..." "I couldn't do anything for you..." "Hikaru Passes Away;" "And Then There Were None." "Sempai!" "Yippee!" "Here you go." "It's your turn today, Sempai!" ""Exchange Diary of Love"" "You're that excited?" "Huh?" "W..." "Well, you know..." "Oh!" "Passionate, I see..." "You guys!" ""As she handed it over to me, suddenly..." ""..." "I was a bit abashed or so I felt..."" "That... is what should be written in the diary!" "G..." "Guys, knock it off!" "Sempai and I are in a 100% pure boy-girl relationship!" "So, please don't bother us!" "Hikaru..." "Well..." "I can't wait to read what you write... words that burst with love!" "Bye!" "A..." "Ayukawa!" "An exchange-diary?" "Huh?" "!" "Yeah..." "Passionate, aren't you." "What the..." "I only started doing this because Hikaru insisted..." "What do you want, Yuusaku?" "!" "About that exchange-diary that you're swapping back and forth with Kasuga..." "The "Exchange-Diary of Love!"" "W..." "Well, that's what I mean!" "If you could let me take part in it so that we'll have a group-diary..." "Be serious!" "Yuusaku, you should just make yourself a picture-diary with your crayons!" "Hikaru!" ""Today, once more, Hikaru hates me!"" "Let's see..." ""Today, I took a bath together with Kumagoro, my stuffed bear!"" ""Kumagoro is okay even when he gets wet!"" ""Sempai, don't you think he's adorable?"" "Gee..." "What's the big deal?" "!" ""Kumagoro... is..." ""...a very... good bear."" ""When I..." ""...take... my bath..." ""...please..." "let me..." "borrow him."" "There!" "Oh?" "A new menu?" "Yup." "Master asked me to come up with one." "So I'll... make you a little of this and that, tomorrow at my house." "At your house?" "Based on your reactions, I'll decide what goes on the new menu." "Sounds good!" "Lucky!" "Ayukawa's home-cooking, eh?" "Oh, I know!" "Sempai..." "Let's read our Exchange-Diary of Love to her, in thanks for tomorrow's food!" "Well? "Good idea," yes?" "N..." "No, that's... er..." "Madoka would be so touched by our story of true love!" "W..." "What I mean is that..." "Hikaru..." "Got a cold?" "Well, a little." "But I should be hunky-dory by tomorrow!" "Hunky-dory, eh?" "I wonder if Hikaru's cold could get bad enough that she'd have to stay home." "That way I wouldn't have to read the exchange-diary either..." "I hope she gets a fever and stays home!" "Don't you think so too, Jingoro?" "Did you hear that?" "!" "Yeah!" "That's just too awful!" "I can't believe you, Bro!" "You're so conceited!" "I'm not feeling good today..." "Good morning." "Kasuga!" "Where have you been?" "!" "Did something happen, Komatsu?" "There you go again!" "You stupid pretender!" "Today is Hikaru's funeral, remember?" "Hikaru's?" "!" "Damn right!" "Oh, c'mon!" "Stop kidding me like that!" "That's awful!" "You idiot!" "How could I joke about something like that?" "!" "They said... that she passed quietly, as if she'd fallen asleep." "It's such a shock, ain't it." "She was so full of energy." "Now, wait a sec!" "Offed by a cold!" ""By a cold?" "!"" "H..." "Hikaru!" "This isn't happening!" "If we don't get going soon... we'll be late for the memorial service." "L..." "Look at all these people..." "Today was declared a National Day of Mourning so apparently, all the schools and businesses in Japan are closed." ""A National Day of Mourning?" "!" You're kidding me, right?" "Why, you!" "That's an awful thing to say about Hikaru!" "It's Hikaru, after all..." "She deserves her Day!" "Say, what happened to Hikaru-oneechan?" "You see, Hikaru has left on a journey, to a world far, far away." "She won't be coming back ever again!" "Dad..." "Kyosuke... compose yourself, and be strong, understand?" "Yeah." "God can be... cruel." "Taking the life of Hikaru, an innocent girl with the soul of an angel." "Master..." "H..." "Hikaru... you really are gone, aren't you?" "A..." "Ayukawa..." "Er..." "Not now." "Huh?" "I don't want to talk to anybody right now." "Ayukawa's tears her tears... stabbed at my heart." ""Hikaru is my life"" "Y..." "Yuusaku!" "And now, representing the friends of the deceased let us welcome an exceptionally close friend of hers Kasuga Kyosuke... with his eulogy, in remembrance of her." "What?" "!" "Me?" "!" "Kasuga!" "Pull yourself together, man!" "H..." "Hikaru..." "Just remembering your dazzling smile makes me..." "Hikaru..." "H..." "Hikaru..." "I can't..." "No..." "I can't do the eulogy!" "Kasuga, you idiot!" "Stop crying!" "For Hikaru's sake, you've got to... pronounce the eulogy!" "Pull yourself together, man!" "Yuusaku..." "You shouldn't be crying!" "You can't cry!" "Would Hikaru be happy if she saw you crying?" "!" "Don't cry!" "Hikaru!" "Hikaru!" "Hikaru!" "Hikaru!" "And now, for the final farewell..." "Hikaru..." "It's better if you take Kumagoro with you..." "Hikaru!" "All those jokes... of ours, as stupid and lame as they were only Hikaru always laughed about them." "The best times of our youth..." "have come to an end along with Hikaru." "We've made up our minds... to put our hearts and souls into our studies!" "Including Hikaru's share, as she can't study anymore, even if she wanted to!" "If we don't at least do that much she'll ridicule us from above, as a star up in the heavens!" "We've gotta go look for a juku!" ""Juku": supplementary "cram" school." "Farewell... to our youth!" "To America?" "!" "Yeah..." "First thing in the morning." "W..." "Why?" "!" "'Cause everything here reminds me of Hikaru." "Besides..." "A Japan without Hikaru...?" "!" "N..." "No!" "Kasuga... thank you for always treating Hikaru so kindly." "A..." "Ayukawa..." "W..." "What about our friendship?" "!" "It's over, you see." "Maybe I fell for you, Kasuga..." "because Hikaru was around." "Ayukawa..." "Madoka!" "Sorry to keep you waiting!" "For you, Kasuga..." "Hikaru could stop associating with delinquents, but this is just..." "this is just too awful!" "A..." "Ayukawa!" "Ayukawa!" "I don't care about anything anymore!" "Kasuga, farewell!" "Ayukawa!" "D..." "Dad, what are you doing?" "!" "Kyosuke..." "I'm quitting being a photographer!" "W..." "Why?" "!" "Because..." "Hikaru's gone..." "Dad!" "I shouldn't be shooting pictures anymore!" "What?" "!" "Oniichan..." "Kurumi!" "Manami!" "What're you guys d..." "We've decided to devote ourselves to Buddhism." "Hikaru's death... confirmed that "beauty is short-lived," right?" "And, who knows when it'll be our time to go?" "We'll be praying to Hikaru's spirit as long as we live..." "M..." "Master!" "A..." "ABCB..." "W..." "Why?" "!" "Since nobody will be coming here from now on I thought that I should just tear down the joint." "B..." "But... there's no need to demolish it!" "Wrong!" "In a situation like this, it's better to just get it over with..." "like this!" "It was always fun to see you guys having a great time and there won't be..." "any more of that." "Yuusaku!" "Kasuga..." "looks like I won't ever be crying again." "I've shed a lifetime's worth of tears!" "I've decided to go on a pilgrimage." "That's what I'm doing for Hikaru." "Guess I'll see you around." "Everybody's going..." "separate ways..." "I see..." "I see it now, Hikaru..." "The one who kept us together all this time... was you, Hikaru!" "And, I... didn't have a clue." "A time..." "A time just like this is exactly when I'd hope for a cheery, simple and naive soul like Hikaru." "Yahoo!" "Did'ja wait?" "Oh, what's wrong?" "You look as if the world has come to an end!" "A very fine girl named Hikaru..." "suddenly passed away." "Well, she's human, after all!" "Death is inevitable, you know!" "C'mon, everybody!" "Cheer up!" "C'mon!" "C'mon!" "Beeble Burble Booble!" "Don't worry!" "Don't worry about such things." "There's a bright future, that's like "Yippee," in store for all of you!" "Chin up!" "Chin up!" "That's our Hikaru!" "Being dead doesn't bother you at all!" ""Today, I took a bath together with Kumagoro, my stuffed bear."" ""Kumagoro is perfectly okay, even if he gets wet, Sempai."" "So admirable!" "I'm sorry..." "I'm so sorry, Hikaru..." "If..." "If only I hadn't wished for your cold to get worse!" "I just can't imagine a world without you, Hikaru!" "I'll use the Power... something... to make Hikaru come alive again!" "To deal with things like this..." "is why I have the Power!" "Hikaru!" "Come to life again!" "I know!" "If I time-slip back to when Hikaru was still alive..." "Why isn't it working?" "!" "Hikaru..." "I couldn't do anything to save you!" "W..." "Who're you?" "!" "That is of no consequence..." "You want her to be alive again, right?" "You can bring her back to life, sir?" "!" "W..." "Well, yeah..." "I beg you, please!" "I beg you, please!" "I'm willing to do anything..." "if you can bring her back!" "If you tell me to chew peanuts with my eyes, I'll do it!" "So..." "So, please!" "Please!" "You've got to bring Hikaru back from the dead!" "Fine." "Then I must test your courage." "Before the end of the Seventh Day after her death you must dig a tunnel through that mountain!" "If you do, the girl may be restored to life!" "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru!" "Ushiko!" "Umao!" "Wherefore art thou, Ushiko?" "And, wherefore art thou, Umao?" "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Hikaru..." "Darling...?" "Darling...?" "I... can't live without you!" "Hikaru!" "Hikaru!" "So bright!" "So, how was it?" "How did it feel to endure a Full-Course Nightmare?" ""N..." "Nightmare?" "!" Oh!" "Well?" "A realistic performance, wouldn't you say?" "G..." "Grandpa!" "Y..." "You rat!" "Oniichan, you wished for Hikaru to be gone, didn't you?" "!" "We thought that was totally rotten, so we asked Grandpa to help out!" "Well?" "!" "Do you give up now?" "!" "Hikaru!" "Listen!" "Do you know where Hikaru is?" "I can't find her anywhere!" "What's with you?" "Why such a serious look?" "Oh!" "E..." "Er..." "If you're looking for Hikaru, she was talking to Yuu a little while ago." "What?" "!" "She said something like, "I've finally decided to say good-bye..."" "What?" "!" "She seemed rather serious." "N..." "No way..." "She said that they'll be holding a parting ceremony together." "N..." "No way!" "I've got to stop her!" "Kasuga!" "Will it really be a problem if she leaves you behind?" "What?" "Yeah..." "I..." "I've long waited for this day!" "Honesty will always prevail!" "The truth is that, it's really hard for me to do this." "Come on now!" "Please go ahead and tell me!" "I've finally decided to bid farewell to my childhood memories." "I wasn't sure if I was making the right decision though." "Childhood memories?" "!" "I thought you were gonna dump that rat Kasuga!" "Say what?" "!" "C'mon!" "Set them afloat for me, any way you want to!" "Good-bye!" "Oh, my childhood memories thank you for all you've done for me all these years!" "Hikaru!" "Sempai!" "You've come to see him go?" "Kumagoro, the stuffed animal?" "!" "'Cause, Sempai..." "You wrote it in our diary that I act like a little girl, so..." "It's okay!" "It's okay!" "That's the kind of thing that I like about you, so..." "Yippee!" "I'm happy!" "Yuusaku, go get my Kumagoro right this instant!" "What?" "!" "You were the one who let him go, weren't you?" "B..." "But..." "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Geez!" "Fine, I'll go!" "Nothing beats... seeing Hikaru smile, after all..." "I'm not sure why, but at least for today I felt as if I didn't want Hikaru to be out of my arms." ""I just dance in the sweet memories" (Sweet memories)" "At a train station on a faraway day snowflakes dance on the platform, and you came running, out of breath." "The days we had to be apart made the memory of you a happy one, like seeing your photograph." ""I just dance in the sweet memories" Each time we're hurt we learn..." ""I just dance in the sweet memories" ...what it takes to love someone." ""I just dance in the sweet memories" (He's my one and only; you never can tell)" ""I just dance in the sweet memories" (Sweet memories)" ""I just dance in the sweet memories"" "We went on a ski trip, meant to be a last moment in which to remember our junior high years."
