My first morning living on my own.
Today, I begin my new life.
Why'd you go and tell Akira and Sojiro?
I was SO embarrassed.
Why not? It was the truth.
It may be the truth, but there are things that shouldn't be told.
You like to stuff everything inside of you like that, huh?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Good-bye to sad yesterdays...
Oh, no...!
"Hurricane Approaching!!"
Say, Tsukushi... How do you like living alone?
It's the best! I made French toast this morning.
Wow...
Of course, I burnt it a little.
A little...?
You got me. Actually, it was a briquette.
I figured.
That's so like you...
Tsukushi?
It's no good...
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
There's someplace I want to go. Go on ahead, will you?
Okay.
I just can't let go...
Something precious is standing right before you...
You can just reach out and grasp it.
But you don't even try. How can you possibly understand how I feel?
I wonder if Rui Hanazawa is mad at me.
But maybe it's best that I don't see him now.
Shigeru...
I guess she won't come to see me anymore--
not after I caught her in the act...
Stupid! Stupid! I'm so stupid...!
Oh, that's the ultra-elite girls' school, isn't it?
Right!
They said I should bring my friends over.
Whoa! Forty-one flavors of babes!
Oh, yeah.
Huh?
We have no choice but to go.
Go? Where?
Weren't you listening? You know, that new nightclub?
New club?
Shot Site. A party with all those rich girls.
A party!
Not interested...
Come on...
You're coming, aren't you, Rui?
Nope.
Why do you have such long faces?
You're putting the F4 to shame.
Hey, Tsukasa...!
What are you asking me for?
Well, those two got weird after going to that monkey's villa with you.
Something must have happened, right?
How can you possibly understand how I feel?
I don't know.
They may be acting weird, but it's got nothing to do with me!
My scars keep getting deeper...
I didn't run into Tsukasa or Shigeru, today.
Tsukushi... How about going for some tea?
I'm sorry. I have to work today.
I see. Maybe next time.
Oh, that's right...!
What is it, Tsukushi?
Since I'm living alone now, let's get together at my place sometime.
Oh... really?
Yes... Oh...
But not for a while, I guess.
I haven't straightened up the place yet.
I've got some redecorating to do.
Redecorating? That sounds fun.
Let me know and I'll help you.
Okay.
Tsukasa...
Tsukushi...
I'll see you tomorrow, Tsukushi.
Tsukushi... I have to talk to you.
There's nothing I want to hear from you.
Shut up and listen to me.
No.
Out of my way.
The warmth of his hand...
His arm... isn't mine!
Tsukushi!
That arm belongs to... It belongs to Shigeru, now.
SENGOKU-YA
His arm... isn't mine!
Thank you very much.
Shall we close up...?
Tsukushi! What are you doing?
What is it?
Oh my!
Tsukushi... It's been hard, hasn't it?
What are you talking about?
It must be lonely by yourself.
It's not really... No, maybe you're right.
I'll get used to it. Don't worry.
I'm a weed that grows in any environment.
Tsukushi...
"I LOVE YOU"
My head is spinning...
There are so many things my heart has to sort out.
I have no idea where to begin.
Rui Hanazawa... ?
Why did you stop?
Oh, you're here?
You haven't played the violin in a long time.
I didn't feel like playing...
But, I shouldn't have after all. I can't play like before.
That's not true. It was wonderful.
I can't hear the violin's voice anymore.
The violin's voice?
Yeah...
Is it because of Shizuka?
No...
I'm the one who ran away.
Rui Hanazawa...
I'm the one who ran away...
But not me. I'm not running...
Y-yes?
Tsukushi!
Kazuya...
Yuki and Maki came, too.
Your redecorating crew is here.
Here we come!
You guys...
What do you think?
Looks good.
I'm getting good at it.
Take a look at this, will you?
Where?
Wow!
A different color really makes a difference.
Instead of living alone, you should come and live with us.
We've got room to spare.
Thanks. But I don't know when my family might come back.
Besides, I've never had a place to call my own.
And, thanks to your help, this has turned into a great apartment.
Isn't it great to have such good friends?
I'm very grateful.
Does Tsukasa know you're living alone now?
No, he doesn't.
There no reason to tell him. He's nothing to me.
That's right!
He's got nothing to do with our world.
Okay, now I'll repaper the doors!
I'm back! I picked up some riceballs.
Hurray! I'm hungry.
- Let's eat. - I'll heat some water.
Here's the tea.
Thanks.
I'm lucky to have friends...
Tsukushi... Don't you think this furniture is cute?
Oh, yes! It's adorable!
This one's nice, too.
Let me see.
What?! 50,000 yen? I could never afford it.
I guess not. That would be your whole paycheck.
I see...
Yes. I've got to scrimp and save.
Quit yakking and help me, will you?
Oh, I'm sorry...
Did you finish the other door?
Yeah.
Kazuya, you're good at papering doors.
You think so?
Why don't you get a job doing this?
Oh, come on...!
It's great to have a craft.
Maybe I will...
I'd better stop thinking about Tsukasa and Shigeru...
At least while I'm surrounded by such good friends.
What's going on?
That place was deserted all this time.
Wow... They're using five bulldozers!
Oh... What's happening here?
Tsukushi...
Kazuya... What are they doing?
A transfer student's parents are donating a new facility.
That's why they're clearing the place.
A new facility?
Yes. The Okawahara Memorial Hall.
S-Shigeru... ?!
That uniform...
N-no way...
I transferred here. Good to see you.
No way!
I must be dreaming!
Yes. It's got to be a nightmare.
That tears it, Shigeru! You're always so self-centered.
You may not want to be apart from Tsukasa...
But, to transfer to this school!? What can you be thinking?!

Quit complicating my life!
