"The words for you that are in my heart" "I want to tell them to you someday" "A low fever rising up, my heart starting to race" "I don't know when it began" "But once I realized this feeling that can't be erased" "It was too late to turn it into a lie" "Even if our encounter was a run-of-the-mill coincidence" "I feel it held special meaning" "I am constantly grateful to God that I can be by your side" "I want to be looking at your unflinching profile always" "The time I spend with you gives me unshakable strength" "The words for you that suddenly enter my mind" "I want to tell them to you someday" ""Emergency Outpatient Entrance"" "Thank you very much." "Ama-san..." "Ri-chan..." "How is Asa-senpai?" "She'll be fine." "They say she'll get better if she gets some quiet rest for a couple days." "I see." "So, don't worry." "All right." "Ri-chan, do you have some time?" "What?" "Let's have a little talk." "Kaede..." "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry..." "Kaede?" "I..." "I..." "I wish you'd Just die!" "I've hurt someone precious to me again." "When I swore I'd never do it again..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "What did you want to talk about?" "Say, Ri-chan, do you love A-chan?" "What?" "Uh, well, that is..." "You ask me so suddenly..." "Come on, get a hold of yourself." "You're a boy, aren't you?" "Owowow!" "So, what about it?" "Uh, well..." "Well, I guess that's okay." "I hope you'll eventually make up your mind." "You know, I feel so bad for her." "What?" "She's always cheerful and has a ready smile for me, but I wonder..." "If she still feels the same way about me... for giving birth to her..." "Why?" "!" "Why did you give me a body like this?" "!" "You're so mean!" "A-chan..." "Why do I have to suffer like this?" "!" "Why do I have to be in so much pain?" "!" "If I was going to suffer like this, I wish I'd never been born!" "It can't be helped, right?" "It's my fault that she's suffering, too." "That is not true." "Asa-senpai's feelings for you are..." "It's okay." "No matter what she thinks of me," "I want to do whatever I can for her." "Ama-san..." "Ri-chan, take care of A-chan for me, okay?" "Yes?" "Fuyou residence." "Rin-kun..." "Kaede, I'm still at the hospital." "I'm going to be coming home late, so go ahead and eat without me." "All right, I understand." "Is Asa-senpai..." "Yes, I see." "Please do not strain yourself, either, Rin-kun." "Rin-chan..." "Asa-senpai..." "Morning." "Good morning." "Were you doing this for me the whole time?" "Oh, pardon me!" "Would you stay here like this for me?" "It would be bad if you stayed hospitalized forever." "At times like this, you say "okay", even if it's a lie!" "Why can't you understand a girl's feelings?" "But a guy feels embarrassed." "We say "no", even if it is a lie." "Rimu-chan..." "Kaede, the lights..." "Don't turn them off." "Rin-kun's coming home, so don't turn them off." "Welcome home, Rin-kun!" "I'm back." "Um, is Asa-senpai..." "She's okay." "This happens regularly, so they said she'll be better in no time." "I see." "Oh, Rin-kun..." "I have gotten everything ready for school." "Sorry, I'm Just gonna go sleep now." "What?" "Now that I feel reassured, I'm suddenly feeling tired." "Are you going to... skip school?" "Yeah." "Well, give Miss Beni some good excuse for me." "All right." "Rin-kun!" "Kaede!" "What about school?" "I..." "That is, I forgot something at home..." "I see." "Well, I'll be going." "Are you going to the hospital again?" "What?" "Yeah..." "Why?" "Why must you go to such lengths?" "To such lengths?" "Why is it?" "You are not a doctor or anything." "Why must you be with her?" "Hey, what's gotten into you, Kaede?" "Why?" "Why?" "What are you saying, Kaede?" "You've been acting weird lately." "I am sorry!" "Here's lunch!" "Both of you eat lots, okay?" "Wow, this is amazing!" "Thanks for the food!" "But is this sort of thing okay?" "What do you mean?" "Shouldn't you eat proper hospital food when you are hospitalized?" "But you won't get your energy back unless you eat good food." "Right?" "Right?" "Uh-huh..." "Besides, I'll be getting out tomorrow." "Are you all right already?" "Yup, the doctor gave us the okay." "I'll take it easy today and I'll make my comeback tomorrow!" "Besides, if I stay in the hospital, someone will use it as an excuse to skip school." "What?" "You're already in a dicey situation as it is anyway." "If you flunk, it'll put another year between us." "You say that, but you will be graduating anyway." "Sheesh!" "This is why you're Just so..." "There aren't any universities you're aiming for, Ri-chan?" "Oh, thank you." "I am fine with any place that will take me." "If you don't care where you go, wouldn't you want to go to the same university as me?" "What?" "Just kidding." "I Just thought sharing the campus life with you might be fun." "Oh, but with your current grades, you won't be able to get into my university of choice!" "All right, all right, I understand." "You Just want me to study, right?" "Oh, dear, you don't have to be in such a rush to leave." "Oh, Rin-chan!" "Rushing things by a day or two won't change anything now." "Starting tomorrow, let's turn a new leaf and study hard together!" "So, for today..." "Here, say, "Ah!"" "Chew, chew, chew, chew." ""To Rin-kun Please warm this up for breakfast." "Kaede"" "Before it used to be Just the two of us..." "This kind of thing is pretty nice, too." "What?" "Sitting here like this, doing nothing..." "It's a really luxurious use of time, isn't it?" "Isn't it boring?" "Nope." "Having lots of things I want to do, and being busy every day and having fun..." "That kind of life is nice, too, but spending time in a leisurely way like this can make you feel really alive, too, huh?" "What is this all of a sudden?" "When I was a kid, I used to be in the hospital more often than not, so doing nothing felt like I was wasting my life and I hated it." "Asa-senpai..." "So, whenever I was well, I wanted to be doing something, anything." "Like learning to cook lots of dishes." "But I guess living frantically wasn't the only way to live life." "Now, Just slowly whiling away the time like this makes me happy somehow, too." "Senpai..." "Maybe I owe this to you, too." "What?" "Just kidding." "Then, I will come again." "Okay, see you later." "Thank you, Ri-chan." "Please excuse me." "Bye-bye." "I'm back." "Welcome home, Rin-kun." "It is a little early, but dinner is ready." "Sorry, I'm not hungry yet, so go ahead and eat without me." "I see." "Then, I will get the bath ready." "Nah, I'm gonna go lie down for a bit." "When you get down to it, I actually haven't slept much." "Sia-chan and Rin-chan brought copies of their notes earlier." "I left them on your desk." "Okay, thanks." "Yes?" "Rin-kun?" "What's up?" "Um, well, how is Asa-senpai doing?" "She says she's fine, now." "She's getting out of the hospital tomorrow." "I see." "You know, about Asa-senpai..." "What?" "She says she didn't used to get along with Ama-san before." "But now, they get along so well." "I see." "Senpai regrets having hurt the most precious person in her life, and Ama-san also feels concern for Senpai..." "I see..." "I don't know..." "I feel like there's some kind of miscommunication there..." "How is that any different than me?" "You are always so concerned for those who are suffering." "Kaede?" "Maybe I'd be better off if I were suffering more, too..." "What are you saying, Kaede?" "No, it was nothing." "Rin!" "Kaede?" "!" "H-Hey!" "What the heck are you doing?" "!" "Please..." "What?" "Please, do not go anywhere." "Kaede?" "I want to be taking care of you always." "Please..." "Do not go any farther away from me." "If it is for you, I..." "Stop it!" "Rin-kun!" "Wait!" "I did not mean for it to come out like that!" "I am sorry!" "I must have been out of my mind!" "Please, Rin-kun!" "Wait!" "Please wait..." "Rin-kun..." "Taking care of you is what I live for." "You're not interested, but you're going to be with them?" "!" "There's no way everyone's going to be satisfied with such a halfass attitude!" "Everyone's trying to take a fresh step forward for themselves." "But you're the key person here and it's no good if you're like this." "What the heck have I been doing all this time?" "!" "Wasn't I going to protect Kaede?" "!" "Didn't I want to help Asa-senpai?" "!" "And Sia... and Nerine... and Primula..." "I was hoping that everyone could be happy..." "That's Just..." "Who were you kidding?" "You idiot!" "Hadn't you noticed any of this until now?" "!" "Hadn't you seen any of it?" "!" "Well, answer me, Rin Tsuchimi!" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "Damn it..." "I wonder what I did badly..." "I wonder where I went wrong..." "I wonder if Rin-kun never forgave me, after all..." "After those awful things I did to him, I can't expect any less, right?" "What am I going to do if Rin-kun goes away?" "I wanted to make amends..." "I wanted to devote myself to Rin-kun forever and ever..." "Really?" "Was it really for Rin?" "No, I'm lying..." "The truth is, I want to be with him." "Kaede, did you tell Rin?" "What?" "That you want to be with him." "I don't have the right to say anything like that." "Kaede..." "Because I can never be loved by Rin-kun..." "Because even if I love him, I have no right to be loved in return." "You're really okay with that?" "I want to be with Rin..." "Rimu-chan..." "Rain, huh?" "It was raining that time, too, wasn't it?" "I wonder if I was being swept away..." "All right." "This is the only thing I can do, so I'm going to keep doing this forever." "The way it is now..." "I'm fine with the way it is now." "Because what I want is Rin-kun's happiness," "I'm going to accept everything that Rin-kun wants." "I don't care if he loves Asa-senpai." "If Rin-kun will just stay here..." "I'm back." "Welcome home." "I was worried, you know." "You will catch a cold." "I will get the bath ready right away." "Kaede." "Yes?" "I've made up my mind." "What is it, Rin-kun?" "I'm thinking of leaving this house." "We walk, the two of us together" "We search, the two of us together" "But mirrored in my gaze" "Is a wavering figure of you" "What is between you and me" "Is a sea of noise where dreams mingle" "There's something unchanging alive within you alone" "That's a treasure no one in the world will ever touch" "And it will surely shine more brightly than anything for you"
