sarasara no kami nadetemitara
As I went to stroke your silky hair
sukoshi dakedo ne
It was only a little, but...
atashi no houni chotto
On my side of the bed...
zureteru makura
The pillow had slipped.
macaroni no oto ga
The sound of macaroni...
sarasara suberu sukoshi dakedo
Smoothly sliding, just a little.
onnanoko wa ne hayaku okinakucha nano
Girls should get up earlier...
haburashi no jikan mo nagaku natta wa
and spend longer brushing their teeth.
motomoto sunao ni dasenai
I couldn't be honest right from the start.
atashi wo miru miru uchi ni kaetano
You changed me bit by bit.
mada netete iiyo sunny side up sunny side up
You can keep sleeping; sunny side up, sunny side up.
okoshite ageru
I shall wake you.
netete iiyo oyasumi
You can keep sleeping. Goodnight.
I thought I could live with just a little bit of happiness...
Though, with a little despair, I've begun to think I've fallen into depths of darkness.
I've already come this far...
Miki-chan?
Let's Go Home!
I'm back.
Kippei!
Do you know where Yuzuyu-chan and Miki-chan are?
Nope... They aren't here?
I wonder if they went out to play together...
To play?
Probably.
They'll probably be back soon.
Kippei, go wash you hands.
Hey. Will we get there soon?
Yeah, soon.
Do you think Mama's doing well?
Yeah.
They're late.
I should've given Miki a curfew!
I wonder if she's annoyed 'cause I didn't take her to school.
Stop pacing!
I figured this would happen from the start...
But suddenly taking Yuzuyu-chan like isn't fair at all.
Not fair at all...
We're here, Yuzuyu.
Here?
Someone' here?
It's Mama!
It's Mama, right?
Miki-chan!
Bring the food.
Kazu! Calm down.
Hey.
Stop that, Kazu.
My parents with relatives...
Miki-chan! Aren't you gonna go in?
Well, well... Even If I didn't go through the trouble of bringing you here, they would have had lots of replacements for me.
It's like I didn't even exist from the beginning.
Let's eat.
Not pimento...
Miki?
Miki-chan, wait up!
Was Mama gone?
Miki-chan!
I don't know where your mother is!
That was a lie!
You're fine!
Even without your mother, you have someone waiting for you!
Yuzuyu...
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I wanna go home!
Yeah...
Sorry.
Hello?
It's Miki!
Yuzuyu's here, too.
I see. Yuzuyu's with you.
What're you doing?
Are you angry?
Hurry up and come home.
Sorry!
Come get Yuzuyu.
Wait Kippei!
Where're you going?
What happened?
I am gonna go get her!
Wait! Are you going to be okay on your own?
I'll be fine. I'll be right back.
If you make a big fuss, it'll become a problem, so stop.
More importantly, give me 1,000 yen, I'll be riding the train.
Why don't you have 1,000 yen?
See ya.
Yuzuyu... He said he'd come get you soon.
Miki-chan, did something sad happen to you?
I don't know whether it was sad, or even what it was anymore...
But for some reason, I don't want to remember anything.
Standing here...
...now makes me realize that even though I used to be happier...
Oh Miki. Your uniform looks good.
Do your best!
Okay!
Do your best!
Okay!
I truly wanted to go to that school, and even though the tuition was expensive,
they didn't frown, but cheered me on...
That's why I studied hard and made lots of friends.
If I was happy, Dad and Mom would be happy, so...
That's why...
What?
Sensei... and Mori-kun?
Got it? It's your fault for cheating on the exam
If you don't feel like quitting school, tell your parents that you fell down and got hurt.
Okay... I'm sorry.
Oh, Sakashita.
What're you doing? Hurry home.
S-Sensei!
What?
I saw what you did right now.
Aren't you overdoing it a bit?
Who do you think you are?
After that...
...he moved my seat, which used to be right in the middle to a lonely corner...
During attendance, he never called my name...
...and he had everyone stop talking to me.
If you oppose me, you'll end up like her.
What should I do?
Are you stupid?
Mori-kun...
Opposing your homeroom teacher, and getting his attention at your new school...
You're done for.
See ya.
What's wrong, Miki?
Hurry up and eat!
U-Umm...
Miki, is school fun?
Yeah.
Do your best.
What's everyone gathered here for?
I wanted to try hurting someone, right?
Try dying.
The fire started in an instant... and my friends became devils.
What?!
Now our homeroom teacher may even compliment us.
Just joking.
Hey, Sakashita.
Try dying.
Just joking.
I must protect...
I must protect myself.
Miki... You... What's with... What's with your hair?
I heard from your homeroom teacher that your attitude has been bad, too!
What? If you have something to say, spit it out!
I have nothing to say.
Why, you...
Dear!
I'll sleep and go to school properly...
I won't tell him.
I'll never tell them!
Even if I did, they wouldn't understand.
And if I told them, they might even cry.
There's no place for me at school or at home.
I don't really understand.
It's okay. You don't need to understand.
Even though I was able to tell you... I'm sorry.
Yuzuyu... Miki.
Kippei-onii-chan!
What were you doing?
A school uniform?
Well, whatever.
Okay, shall we go home?
I'm hungry!
Miki... What're you doing?
Come over here.
Yuzuyu, wait here a minute.
Miki.
Don't come any closer!
I'm gonna die...
What're you saying, idiot?
What's wrong all of a sudden?
It's not sudden!
No one knew, but I've been suffering all along!
Miki-chan!
Don't move! It's dangerous!
I'm lonely...
I'm so lonely that I can't go on living!
There's no reason for me to be anywhere...
When no one would look at me anymore, I was truly alone.
They had to tell me one by one that I really existed... or else I couldn't go on.
Someone might actually telll me that... but...
My body can't hold on any longer...
Don't die... please.
For now... don't say that!
You have Yuzuyu and someone else more important than me, right?
At the school infirmary...
The others are different from you.
There's certainly something that I want to tell only you.
I wanted someone to talk to me... with warm words...
Someone who would realize with compassion that I had hurt someone and try to reassure me.
Someone like that... who even I am able to meet.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Someone like that... who even I am able to meet.
You scared me.
Miki, when it seems your parents are going to get angry at you, wear a happy smile!
Their feelings of anger will melt away.
You don't belive me?
I'm not wrong!
It's the best way to keep people from getting angry at you, and I've learned after 17 years of life.
Now, practice!
Smile!
Well, try smiling in your own way.
Yuzuyu...
Sorry for everything.
No. It's okay!
Let's play again, Miki-chan!
Sure.
What's wrong?
What have you done?
I wanted to die, and tried to commit suicide.
Why, you... Causing me more trouble!
Dear, stop it!
Don't make Miki any angrier!
That my own daughter would want to die..
No. Truly.. I.. Dad.. said that he didn't want me...
Something bad happened at school..
But no matter what happened, no matter what was done to me... I endured it!
Even if nobody else believed me, I wanted at least you and Mom to understand.
Miki..
I'll do my best.
I'll be good and go to a new school.
I can do it for sure.
So believe in me.

come out in my dreams.

Year in, year out; slumbering peacefully.
nen nen sai sai boku no tame umarete kinasai
Year in, year out; keep living on for me.
Miki-chan's crying!
It's okay.
It'd be nice if you could live with everyone.
Then no one would be lonely.
For sure!
I imagined it, but it's scary!
One Kippei, per home..
Then I'm special!
You lucky little girl!
I'm hungry!
