"Our adolescence is the season of love." "...is what everyone says." "Our hearts flutter." "We feel restless." "And we're curious about boys." "we fall for someone." "That is the greatest mission for us girls." "life is more complicated than just love." "And that's why..." "I focus on friends instead." "Futaba!" " Good morning!" " Good morning!" "Long time no see!" "Your seat is here." " Here?" " Right behind me!" "Lucky!" "Isn't she cute?" " She's cute!" " Right?" "Who is it?" "What was her name?" "H-Hold on..." "Yoshioka." "It's Yoshioka." " Yoshioka?" " Yoshioka." "Our eyes met!" " Go talk to her!" " Me?" "Hey!" "there it is." " What are you doing?" "Thaaat's not going to work." " Isn't that Makita Yuuri?" "The girl you mentioned?" " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." "right?" "too." "He said there was a really cute girl named Makita in class 1-5." "I'm not that cute!" "That was so cute just now!" "He even said she's" "Did you see those puppy dog eyes?" "Why do guys like girls like Makita Yuuri?" "or simple... right?" "you'd be popular." "you're just not feminine enough." "it's fine!" "anyway." " What's with that way of putting it?" " Right?" "have you been in love with someone before?" "No!" "Never!" "don't laugh!" "Don't laugh!" "I just lied to them." "I think friends come first." "But this is the second year of high school!" "In truth..." "You've got no manners." "Tanaka-kun?" "right?" "Futaba?" "go on ahead!" "Hey!" " Tanaka-kun!" " Mabuchi!" " Hey." " "Mabuchi"?" " School supplies?" " Yeah." "Then I guess I'll go with you." "That was close!" "Somehow..." "I thought he looked like the Tanaka-kun I knew when I was 13." "didn't it?" "Tanaka-kun?" "My name is Mabuchi." "I'm sorry!" "I made a mistake." "didn't it?" "I knew it!" "You're Tanaka-kun!" "Tanaka Kou-k-- my name is Mabuchi." "I'm Mabuchi Kou now." "My parents got divorced." "I've been in Nagasaki ever since." "aren't you?" "I wondered when you'd figure it out." "but..." "Tanaka-kun..." " you're completely different from bef" "I'm Mabuchi." "how about a reunion hug?" "I won't!" "I will not do that!" "Tanaka-kun wouldn't sa" "He's gone." "Huh?" "Tanaka Kou isn't here anymore." "Why has he changed that much?" "Tanaka-kun wasn't the type to come on so strong... and was very kind." "didn't it? we'd look away." "What's going on?" "Cops and robbers." "Want to join?" "too?" "...and look again." "And in the first summer vacation of middle school..." "Summer Festival 7 o'clock." "At the clock in Sankaku Park." "7 o'clock." "At the clock... in Sankaku Park." "I'm pretty sure that's what I heard." "But..." "Tanaka-kun never came." "or to the festival." "he never came." "Not even to school when the new semester started." "right?" "hold on." "Sorry!" "It's okay!" "you!" "Hold on!" "Money!" "Money!" "though." "Don't try to fool me." "You were just trying to run off." "No!" "what a slimy person." "someone call the discipline officer!" "right?" "Futaba." "Just apologize and pay her." "Uh..." " Um..." " She paid." "Huh?" "too." "Get out of my way." "too!" "Yeah?" "She paid me just a second ago." " What?" "Did she?" " Yeah." "How could I have known?" "Then you can go." "old lady." "Terrible." "Are you letting out your stress?" "That's not what you should be saying." "and you too." "Apologize." "S-s-s-sorry." "Excuse me!" "Thank you." "It's nothing." "That wasn't right no matter how you think about it." "Yeah." "so I feel better." "then you come cheap." "too." "anyway." "That would be making pretend friends." "They're trivial." "Mabuchi!" "Mabudachi!" "[pun - mabudachi means "a close friend"] I got to talk to Murao Shuuko!" "Thanks! it's a lot better than being on my own." "Hey." "If you'd like..." "Thank you!" "I'm sorry about back then." "and even saw it..." "It's okay!" "It's fine!" "But thanks for this." "It looks good!" "why are you getting involved with someone like her?" "Eating her bentou on her own is so strange." "Wouldn't it be nice if the boys talked to her?" "a heart being on that cake... is so pathetic." "["itai" - "hurt" has been taking on a slang meaning]" "Seriously." "She's just putting on a cute act for the boys." " She's pretty sly." " Isn't she?" "too." "But being sly... wouldn't that just mean that you want people to care about you?" "too." "That's not the point." "I just hate girls like her." "you can just ignore her." "You're just so envious of her you can't ignore her!" "What is this?" "I'm in such a bad mood now." "Where are your friends?" "you... !" "Is it my fault?" "No." "It's my own." "I was venting just now." "Sorry." "Actually... in middle school... just like Yuuri right now..." "I was left out." "I was always alone." "That's why" "I thought I'd make high school better." "I have been... lying to myself." "So that I can get along with people." "And that's why... things ended this easily." " homework isn't done!" "Seriously?" "It's due tomorrow!" "Hurry up and finish!" "Look at that." "Don't get all flirty in the school." "Are you stupid?" "Nothing is over yet." "have you?" "give it a rest." "Stop calling me Tanaka." "Kou!" "You're dropping the honorific that suddenly?" "Thank you!" "The 5 students selected as the class leaders are expected every year to participate in the spring's leader orientation." "Tanaka-sensei will explain the details of the orientation." "Okay." "the leaders of each class lodge together to strengthen their interpersonal networks and create a plan for the year's events." "field trips... but what kind of life it will be is up to you all." "is there anyone who is up to the task?" "Right." "I haven't even started anything yet." "I have to try starting something!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "I'll do it too." "too." "yes!" "I will also do it!" "too!" "what are" " I already said it!" "Seriously? you will be sleeping and eating together as part of Leader Orientation." "Listen up." "You are preparing to be able to help everyone in your classes." "Okay!" " I'll carry that!" "Your hands will get dirty." " I'm wearing gloves so I'll be fine." "Thank you." "Sensei." "Hm?" "The mole in your double eyelid." "This?" "Murao." "Then... don't tell anyone but me about it." "Ever." "I can't make a promise like that." "head back over to where everyone else is." "Mabuchi." "What was that?" "Wouldn't it be... that?" "help me... with this." "Yoshioka." "Ow!" "You alright?" "I'll do it." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "What's with him?" "carry the firewood." "we're going over "the significance of school events so we'll all do the sheet together." "Murao-san!" "Later on" "I have a bit of a headache." "Yoshioka-san?" "I'm Kikuchi from class 6." "Class 2 seems to be difficult." "Yeah." "so... what then?" things." "though." "okay?" "Class 6." "Yes." "The significance of school events is to set up plans for events that cannot be completed except as a group." "We need to improve the sense of belonging that everyone has." "doing things with others and behavior." "then this will lead us to far better school events." " Crap..." "Wonderful!" "Then next will be class 2." "Yes." "Uh..." "The goal of school events... is... is... to create memories... of fun times." "That's all." "Are you an elementary student?" "right?" "then." "Today you will have no free time." "Be sure you think of something together." "Present something before orientation ends." "class 4 next." "Yes." "The significance of school events is to hold events that give us the ability to adapt to society" "too." "It's pretty." "It's hard to tell if it's morning or night." "Kind of like you." "Huh?" "Whether you're mean or kind." "I can't tell." "aren't you?" "Weak or strong-willed." "But I think... being a leader is too much for me." "Isn't that just fine?" "Nobody will be troubled if you feel defeated so soon." "I think that was good." "Creating memories of fun times." "School events are... you know. and the things you experienced with everyone else..." "It's just fine if you all make those happy memories." "Something like that." "I see." "Right!" "Huh?" "Where's Futaba?" "you did one." "do you know where Mabuchi went?" "Hey now." "Aren't you guys being too distant?" "It's so pretty!" "Here we are." "The start of a new day." "Yeah." "I... will never forget this sunrise we're all seeing together!" "Me neither!" "This is "Aoharu"!" "Aoharu." "We'll ride out adolescence together!" "adolescence]" "you guys..." "You're done if this makes you embarrassed." "Things like growing cold can wait until we're old men and women!" "Kominato-kun." "You're really loudmouthed in that way." "wait... can you not say loudmouthed?" "Being called loudmouthed is painful." "But right now-- too?" "the leadership group fell under Kominato Rule." "we get together once per week." "right?" "You did all on your own." "come without missing any." "Your attendance is too low." "Coming or not as you please..." "are you a kindergartener?" "just like it says" " there are meetings everywhere." " You're all really at it." "Hey." "The orientation report for the school's newsletter..." "I want to have one of you do it." "Anyone?" "I have cram school..." "Then I'll-- right?" "Huh?" "This is my chance to walk home with Shuuko." "Let it happen." "I'll handle it." " I've got it." " Thanks." "it will be like an elementary student did it." "so I'll do it." "your writing is messy too." "I can write clearly." " You won't finish it before the end of the day." " I will!" "Give it back!" " Forget it!" "Lend me your lead pencil." " Futaba-chan." " Hm?" "What do you think of Mabuchi-kun?" "I... think I've fallen for him." "I see!" "too." "no!" "We just went to the same middle school." "His attitude is so poor..." "Aren't I so cool for not putting in my all?" "So now I don't..." "Just now?" "Not then and not now." "Never." "At all." "Really?" "That's good!" "I was scared." "I had no idea what I'd do if you were a rival." "you're going to be late for cram school." "Yeah. it's not that I like him." "Just..." "His bony hands... and his fairly clear handwriting... and being able to barely see his eyes behind his bangs... these are all more interesting to me than they were before." "That's the same habit you had before!" "Do you... like me?" "What are you" "That's not what I mean!" "You're so different from before so I wonder why you've changed so much." "Sorry." "Don't try and find the old me." "That would be seriously annoying." "You'll be a loser forever if you clutch your memories like that." "I definitely do not like him!" " Where's Mabuchi?" " I made him go home." "Why are you here?" "You said... and to go on ahead." "though." "Are you thinking that I thought I said too much and would wait for you" "I'm not." "Well... whatever." "We're going." "Yuuri." "too... like Kou." "seeing him again..." "I thought that I didn't like the new Kou." "But I realized that I was lying to myself." "Yuuri." "Futaba-chan." "I thought so. okay?" "But I don't think it'll work out for me if it's you." "Yuuri..." "I'm going to the bathroom." "I was... actually scared to say it." "I thought that if I said it..." "I'd lose a precious friend I'd finally made." "But I also thought that I have to say it precisely because she's a precious friend." "I'm back." "I'm feeling hungry... maybe we should eat something." "I like Tanaka-sensei." "Why are you... so suddenly...?" "It's just..." "I thought that I could say it if it were to you two." "though." "He might even turn you both down." "And if it goes well for one of you..." "I'll always be neutral to both of you." "do your best." "after all." "I don't understand the feelings of women who fall for older guys!" "I'm the one who has tighter skin!" "Right?" "are you listening?" "!" "Hey!" "Kominato." "You're as loud as ever." "Stop messing around and study a little." "You'll bring down the number of graduates." "The guy next to him... he was at Nagasaki Seiran High." "Really?" "Coming here from that Seiran isn't special at all." "Did something happen?" "either." "Hey." "You guys need to get a grip." "He had nothing to do with it." "And why are you the one getting mad?" "What are you talking about?" "you'd be pissed too." "Get out of here." "let's go." "What's with him?" "Kou!" "What is it?" "Nothing." "I... have given up looking for the old Kou." "Huh?" "I want to get to know the new Kou." "Everything that I don't know from the 4 years you were in Nagasaki." "why did you come back here?" "This and that." "Are you living in the same place?" "Yeah." "With your mom?" "No." "does it?" "It has nothing to do with you." "It doesn't have nothing to do with me!" "and then suddenly reappearing..." "There are actually so many things that I want to ask you!" "I'm asking you because I haven't sorted it all out in my head yet!" "Please just... don't step into other people's space any more than you already have." "Sooo hot!" "Is Kou ditching the meeting again?" "too?" "And at your house." "the festival and field trip are soon after the new semester starts." "What will happen if we don't do this now?" "I wonder if something happened to Mabuchi-kun." "either." "[Japanese messaging app]" "It's like he's avoiding us." "Mabuchi" "Yes!" "Yoshioka!" "Tanaka-sensei!" "Why...?" "Kou is actually... my little brother." "Your brother?" "!" "We're trying to keep life simple at school though." "too." "after all." "Here. and I stayed here with our dad." "Kou went to our mom's parents' place in Nagasaki with her." "Why did he come back here?" "Last year... of an illness." "He came back here because of that." "I couldn't be with him when life was at its hardest." "How about some other family?" "I'm the only one who can be with her right now." "Her lung cancer is progressing." "We can consider it to be in its final stages." "Her back pain is most likely due to her bones changing." "but..." "The results seem to have been good." "Oh?" "How is your back pain?" "It's alright." "Don't worry about me." "Get home and study. but I might not make it. take care of Kou." "I... couldn't handle seeing her emaciated body." "or Nagasaki being too far." "I pushed everything onto Kou." "I'm sorry!" "But it seems..." "Kou couldn't forgive himself for being unable to help." "Mom! and started thinking that he just isn't allowed to enjoy himself." "He's been carrying feelings like that the whole time." "good guy." "That's why" "I know." "I know." "I see." "My brother told you." "I made him a promise." "A promise that I would take care of our mom." "I gave him my word that I'd support her." "Like a child." "too." "So she could live in comfort once I became a doctor." "I didn't even realize that she was ill." "It's laughable. as if she were already prepared to leave this world... what was I thinking?" "do you?" "You don't need to understand." "You get tired of a lot of things when you find things important to you." "Kou!" "I don't understand!" "I don't... not one bit!" "But..." "Is wanting to understand from the bottom of my heart not okay?" "Being scared of losing what's important to you is pointless if you distance yourself from us all!" "Because... you've already... become someone really important! and someone gives you a hard time for enjoying yourself..." "We can't forgive him! I'll beat that person up!" "Kou?" "Don't pull away yet." "Then..." "Yeah." "Summer Festival 7 o'clock." "At the clock in Sankaku Park." "so... that wasn't a date... and sobbed at the park." "7 o'clock." "At the clock in Sankaku Park." "that." "That was... meant as a new promise to you." "Shall we go this time?" "To the summer festival." "Okay!" "I can rewrite what happened that day 4 years ago!" "I'll tell him!" "I'll tell Kou that I like him!" "Kou?" "Where are you?" "Sorry." "Something came up that I can't get away from." "Uhh... what time can you make it?" "I'll wait until whenever that is!" "Can't make it." "I'm actually in Nagasaki right now." "Nagasaki?" "Kou-chan?" "What is it?" "I wasn't able to get a hold of Kou after that day." "Is it second semester yet?" "and was scared that Kou would disappear somewhere again." "Kou." "Hi." "Um... about that." "We have... a meeting today." "I'll pass for today." "Can't make it." "Mabuchi seems strange since second semester started..." "He doesn't even come to our meetings at all." "but it's all on LINE." "do you know if he's seeing someone?" "he just dodges the question." "But it does sound like it's a girl." "One from his time in Nagasaki." "These are cute!" "Futaba-chan." "I actually confessed to Mabuchi during summer vacation." "but he turned me down." "he told me there's someone he can't leave alone." "I was convinced that it was you..." "Your nails are so small." "How about having a seat?" "Okay." "You don't need to answer that?" "There's a lot going on with an old classmate from Nagasaki." "The calls just keep coming." "Oh. want to do something now?" "it's okay." "Let's do it!" "Narumi" "Hello?" "Now?" "Sorry... it's that classmate." "okay?" "Kikuchi-kun?" "Are you okay?" "Your boyfriend just left... was there a fight?" "no." "He's not my boyfriend." "That so?" "It turns out I'll be living with my mom." "So I'll be heading out your way." "We can see each other again." "Oh?" "That's good." "Yeah." "right." "That DVD I borrowed from you before" "Sorry." "Can we talk about that later?" "I'm going to give priority to that friend I made a promise with first." "are you having a good time?" "The theme for this year's Sakigaya festival is markets." "Please enjoy all the stalls representing countries from around the world!" "Want to try doing a before-and-after comparison?" "[makeup]" "The match to decide the best arm wrestler is right here!" "Master!" "[intentionally sounding cute] too!" "you need to put on some pants." "It's creepy." "I can't let myself lose to Shuuko." "Is this the same as what you ordered?" " Yes." " Yes!" "Thank you very much." "Please enjoy yourselves here." "Shuuko-chan suits the masculine clothing too well!" "This is such a success!" "Kominato's idea of doing reverse maids and butlers is such a hit!" " One waffle..." " One waffle!" "Kou-chan!" "You didn't get lost on the way?" "I didn't." "That's some outfit you're wearing!" " Come in." " Okay." "I'll introduce you." "She's a middle-school classmate from Nagasaki." "I'm Narumi Yui." "Hello." "Hi." "Sit over there." "Sure." "then." "I'll show you around later." "Want a drink?" "Something that you recommend." "right?" "Yoshioka." "She'll have one Kominato Special." "Okay." "can you hold this?" "you look great as a butler!" "that's because I'm not very feminine." "you're such a girl." "Here." "though." "W-What?" "What is this?" "These people jumping into the picture?" "[a cover of My Favorite Song by Ellegarden]" "I had fun today." "Thanks." "too?" "Yeah." "Yoshioka-san!" "the mic was on." "Kikuchi!" "Kou-chan." "There's a train." "I need to hurry." "Then we'll stop here." "[cover of Kaze no Hi by Ellegarden]" "That-- right?" "To make up for that." "Kou!" "Kou!" "You still have cleaning up to do!" "Kou!" "about back then..." "Please take the filled boxes of equipment to the leaders' room." "Why are you running away from me?" "Don't worry about that." "It was an accident." "What?" "!" "What is it?" "!" " Why are you mad?" " I'm not!" "You are!" "I'm not mad..." "It was... meaningless..." "Neither of us meant to." "It was an accident." "It's the same as if it never happened." "Then... is it okay if it isn't an accident?" "you can pull away." "For canceling our plans at the last second..." "I'm sorry." "That night was Narumi's father's wake." "Her parents are divorced as well and her dad had been looking after her." "Telling something like that to you would be... you know." "Is Narumi-san someone special to you?" "A friend." "But I understand how she's feeling right now better than anyone else." "Yeah." "You would." "right?" "space"?" "help with cleaning up!" "Seriously... thanks to your slightly triangular relationship..." "Hello?" "Kou?" "Do you know a girl named Narumi Yui?" "Yeah." "Narumi is a classmate from Nagasaki." "The police were asking about her at school." "It seems she came here to visit in order to run away from home." "Run away?" "right?" "But she told me she's going to live with her mother here." "No." "Her mother seems to have said no." "Her mom has a new family." "She was taken into custody." "the police called us." "and she says she's a friend of yours." "The police." "Let's go." "If I said it was all... on purpose..." "Kou-chan?" "It's okay." "I understand." "Kou!" "It's red." "her mother will take care of her." "I'll take her there." "Thanks." "Please do." "Go ahead." "Why... did you kiss me?" "Sorry." "I got caught up in the mood." "Liar. so I think there are people here who can't quite get in the mood." "What happened to Mabuchi-kun?" "He's been off for a week already." "Narumi-cchi seems to have it pretty rough staying with her mother." "So he's taking care of her." "Her relatives are still arguing over who is going to keep her." "I wonder what Mabuchi-kun will do if she has nowhere to go?" "He might feel he has to take care of girls who feel that weak." "Their circumstances are even similar." "I... want to take back Kou's smile." "right?" "I would like you to let him go. and that there is a pain only you and he understand." "But... time stops for him." "and..." "I don't want to." "I don't have anyone but Kou-chan." "I want him with me no matter what." "I'll do anything if it's for that." "If acting all righteous to try and trick us then you are the one who needs to give up." "Yoshioka-san." "You only came to complain to me out of desperation right?" "This delusion that time stops for him when he's around me is to try and push me away!" "I... just wanted to come up with a reason not give up on Kou." "aren't I?" "Futaba." "Don't go thinking strange things." "I was dropping off some papers and a guy saw me opening a door with my feet." "Another person driven away by my mannerisms." "aren't they?" "You're missing a button there." "I like you." "I like you." "I came to you so you could clearly turn me down." "I want you to turn me down properly." "Yoshioka." "That clears it up." "Thank you." "okay?" "Are you having flashbacks?" "Yeah." "For no reason." "I just suddenly remember things. and they're in color." "Kou-chan?" "Does something like this not happen to you?" "Oh." "That's good." "Is he going to pick you up?" "Your uncle in Nagasaki." "He's going to look after me until I graduate high school." "Don't worry about me." "Narumi..." "I'm the only one who understands you." " Morning." " Morning." "Morning!" " Morning." " Morning!" "hasn't it?" "Or is it... you're changing it?" "Yeah." "I've decided to graduate from being the way I was." "and stop my bursts of laughter." "I'll be more feminine so that I'm more popular." "Is this to spite Mabuchi?" "I would be able to move forward." "am I? I don't know how to move forward." "Or what to do." "You finally looked at me." "Looking somewhere is what it is to move forward." "isn't it?" "I don't think you need to force it." "Because there's someone right in front of you telling you that Yoshioka-san is fine the way she is." "Yoshioka-san." "But..." "I don't really know you very well." "You can get to know me starting today." "but..." "I can recommend me." "Are you okay?" "That's the first time anyone has said they like me." "So?" "too?" "I'm not sure." "I can feel a little progress." "I can get rid of Kou's memory sooner." "I see." "though!" "Kikuchi is going to take Yoshioka away from you." "He can do what he wants." "There isn't anything between Yoshioka and me." "How's that?" "You were just grinding your teeth like crazy." "Don't make yourself match Narumi-cchi's moods." " I'm not matching or feeling for her." " Then what is it?" "People who can't consider their own happiness shouldn't be proud of supporting other people." "You're such a nice guy it rubs off on people." "I had a feeling I could go back to the old me." "But then things came up with Narumi." "I then realized I really couldn't forgive myself." "I decided I'll be responsible for her." "Thanks for being concerned." "The only one getting heated up was me." "To the point our moods were so different I couldn't get anything across." "I'm seriously lame." "I don't think you're very lame at all." "Are you saying I'm coo" "I'm not." "Right." "It's frustrating." "I wonder how things would be if we had met sooner." "I could have been around when things were hardest for him." "I wanted to do something for him." "can't you?" "right?" "[plan outline for a free day during field trip to Kyuushuu] and has delicious food!" "every class must follow the plan that they submitted for their free days." "Okay?" "Sensei!" "What is it?" "Can I change our plan right now?" "Nagasaki?" "Don't be suspicious of it." "This isn't about what happened there for you." "This is about your knowing good places to go for a date there." "Huh?" "help me out." "So that things start going well between Shuuko and I." "Please!" "Narumi:" "Is class done?" "Are things going well with your uncle and the others?" "Narumi:" "They're alright." "How's the new school?" "Made any friends?" "Kou-chan:" "We're going to Nagasaki for our trip." "Let's meet up." "what is it?" "a boyfriend?" "Good for you!" " Bye." " Byebye." "Good work!" "Byebye!" "Do you need something?" "Here." "Thanks." "Here." "Sorry to have bothered you." "I won't let go of you." "I always end up unconsciously trying to find you." "I look for you." "I somehow find you first." "I wonder if that's what it is to fall in love." "Yoshioka-san." "Kikuchi-kun." "The first day of our trip!" "Let's get really into it!" "Have we finished changing seats around?" "Have your expectations been met? we'll be shuffling around the seats!" "We'll be shuffling!" "You may not know who you'll be sitting next to." "Does his little trick seem like it's on purpose?" "I'd think." "But..." "I wonder if it will go well." "Welcome!" "Kominato-kun." "Is Kou alright?" "With Nagasaki." "I'm counting on you to take care of Kou." "You plan to sneak out to see Narumi-cchi?" "What the hell is with you?" "That hurt." "you idiot!" "You're an idiot." "Seriously." "An idiot." "the trouble"?" "The trip's plan." "The reason that I had it changed to Nagasaki." "I can't do it." "you're the only one who can take that place." "You're the only one who knows the old Mabuchi." "But I have plans with Kikuchi-kun." "And..." "Kou going to that place..." "It'll never work." "The one who can get him there" "Yoshioka Futaba." "right?" "Was that a lie?" "We feel the same way." "Kou." "Can you really not forgive yourself?" "How about making sure of that? at least kick away the past first." "That's what we're asking of you." "don't be late for meeting back up!" "make sure you come back!" "Please let me take Futaba-chan for the day. right?" "Kou." "You're late." "Kominato..." "I'm leaving." "Spineless." "You've only grown taller." "How sad." "Tanaka-kun." "I said Tanaka is" "Always dragging along and whining about stuff in the past..." "Kou." "What do you think you" "Bedsores that got worse every day and so much vomit you know the end is coming." "let alone your face." "I've studied a lot about her illness." "I asked Tanaka-sensei a lot of questions." "I still couldn't get any closer to the severity of your sadness." "I didn't understand." "I was frustrated." "My desire to understand still hasn't changed." "didn't I?" "Her voice was getting hoarse back then." "how about eating together downstairs?" "It's fine." "I want to finish this." "Then..." "I'll leave it here." "Don't work too hard." "Okay." "I... wonder why I didn't realize." "I wonder where I went wrong." "Is everything over after only one mistake?" "There aren't any people who take the right path every time." "Come with me and make sure... of whether or not you really did make a mistake." "Come." "I said come!" "That hurts!" "You're alright!" "I'll help you." "right? I would beat that person up." "Come on." "This is the area I lived in for 4 years." "Yeah." "I didn't speak for a long time." "right?" "I'll carry some." "But she kept talking to me." "I'm home." "Welcome home." "I'll just eat here." "There wasn't a girl you liked there?" "How is it?" "This is strange. but I can only remember her smiling face." "Mabuchi-san?" "You've come back?" "He's the priest." "My mom came here a lot." "In hopes she would get better." "Your mother never once prayed for herself. she came here to pray for you." "I pray that Kou has fun at his new school." "I pray that Kou remains healthy." "I pray that Kou grows to be a kind-hearted person." "I pray that Kou finds people important to him." "I pray that Kou... lives his life with a smile." "Not asking for her own sake... is what it is to be a mother." "Sorry." "It's okay." "after all." "I... after all." "you said... that you see me first right?" "Yeah." "But... what I see first" "has always been Kou's back." "I'm sorry." "I knew that." "would always go straight after Mabuchi." "But that being the way you are is exactly why I fell for you." "This is me being a bad loser." "Kikuchi-kun..." "I..." "I wonder if those two are okay." "Hey." " You lot." " Crap." "What is it?" "Leave the rest to me." "Come back before breakfast." "Kou:" "I want you to come out with me one more time." "I want to see the sunrise with everyone." "We'll make a good memory!" "[Number withheld]" "hello?" "Yoshioka-san? he was wearing a uniform that was different from everybody else's." "too." "and never fit in with other people." "he would stay at his art class desk and write graffiti on it while he was alone." "He wrote so many girly things." "Sankaku Park." "7 o'clock." "Sankaku Park." "7 o'clock." "Start his clock up again for him." "Yoshioka Futaba" "Even if we just stay friends!" "it's okay!" "One more time..." "If all of us can just see that sunrise one more time!" "Everyone's pretty late." "Yeah." "Was it really okay for us to not go?" "is what friendship means." "Here." "Thanks." "Coming all the way here might have been a pretty big detour." "Detours are what makes this Aoharu." "loudmouthed." "This is cold!" "too loud." "Look!" "It's getting bright!" "look!" "Kou!" "Kou?" "Are you cold?" "Are you okay?" "I might die like this." "Leave me here." "Ow!" "I give!" "Uncle!" "Sorry." "I liked you. you ran straight to me to get me out." "Tanaka-kun!" "I'm getting you out!" "you fell straight down." "My sides hurt just remembering it! I'm the loser for desperately clinging to my memories." "I love you." "and I do now." "Always did." "You're okay with someone like me?" "I don't know. so I don't know." "you know... my... hero." "We'll be at the airport soon." "Make sure you're not leaving anything behind!" "Okay! but... it's adolescence exactly because there are mistakes."
