I love you too.
That's why I can't answer your feelings.
Just leave.
And don't ever appear in front of me again.
Chihiro-senpai.
Yo.
Kei-senpai?!
Jeez. As a human, you're the worst.
I'm seriously questioning your judgement.
Regarding?
Kyousuke.
You know, I'm your ex-girlfriend.
Yeah, and?
Why exactly am I editing your video for you, then?
Because the club president is the best at it, of course!
Even if they're a failure as a person, a cameraman that takes good shots is still a good cameraman, huh?
Talking bad about me? Or are you praising me?
Both.
What's that you've been holding?
A charm for romantic relationships, apparently.
I got it from a classmate.
Well, I don't have any use for it.
I take back what I said.
You're two-thirds of a failure as a human.
You're done with this, right?
In return for me putting this together, help me shoot my next film!
But I'm not a member of the movie research club anymore.
Most of the paperwork hasn't been processed yet.
Are you serious?
There's no way I'd let go of talent so easily.
A production is a production. What's private is private.
What happens on the bed stays on the bed, eh?
How it going with her?
Well...
I'm really pissed.
You can walk on your own two feet now.
Nope. No need to run.
For as long as I can stand, I'm running with all my strength.
If you're in that much of a hurry, won't you fall?
It's fine. Even if I fall, there's someone that will support me.
Plus, I can't stop running.
Is it your younger sister?
It's because I always have to be a cool, older sister.
Sometimes it's necessary to rest your feet, to cure the wounds.
It's a wound that can't be healed.
Is it really a wound that can't be healed?
It's already been five years.
Have you eaten?
I did. Shrimp and walnut spaghetti.
Eight points.
What about you?
A bento from the convenience store.
Four points.
How's are things with Renji?
We're doing well.
I'd like to meet him for once.
I'll introduce him to you.
Sometimes, I want to see you.
I want to see you too.
I heard that the Otowa City in Australia that Chihiro lives in is exactly the same as this place.
Only the seasons are opposite. The climate's the same, and there's no time difference.
Twin cities in separate places.
It's like Chihiro and I.
Kei-chan, you want to see Chihiro-chan?
Yeah.
What if you went to see her?
Don't say it so easily! It's on the opposite side of the Earth!
Mizuki-chan went there on vacation, didn't she?
Yeah, she did, but...
Then it's not that difficult!
It is!
After all, I don't know how to act when I meet her.
You can decide something like that when you meet her.
You still scared?
Of meeting her.
Scared, weren't you?
Yeah.
Even though I'm here.
I don't know what kind of response there will be, but...
No matter what her response is, I'll be here.
Is that... not good enough?
No, it is.
All right!
That's exactly why you're Kei-chan!
Jeez! Don't treat me like a kid!
It's fine. I'm not scared.
Then how about we go see her together?
Nagi onee-chan!
There'd be no point to all this planning if it couldn't connect people.
Kei-chan, do you have a passport?
I'm about to head toward the south.
Let's go meet Chihiro-chan together.
Yuu-kun, you don't need a younger sister?
You don't want a younger sister anymore?
I don't need a younger sister anymore.
No more!
Yuu onii-chan!
Don't call me your older brother!
I'm still alive...
Yo, Himura. G'morning.
G'morning.
Let me give you a modest gift.
"Genius violinist, Kuze Shuuichi-kun's farewell party episode"?
Here. Let me give you one too, Nagi.
I'd really like you two to come.
This isn't the time for that.
Well, if I have time, I'll show up.
As unfriendly as usual.
That's right! There's one more person I want to invite...
Himura, can you help me invite her?
Me?
I want to invite Amamiya Yuuko-chan to come.
You... Are you that interested in her?
Not me. You.
My emotions are saying, "She's a fitting lover for my good friend!"
Cut it with your nonsense.
But don't you feel some kind of interest in her?
It's just that she's being overly friendly.
That's not the way I see it.
That's stupid.
If you're going to go on about this, I'll go home.
Now, now. Don't take it so seriously.
Yuuko.
Oh? Good morning, Himura-senpai.
What happened, Yuuko?
What do you mean "what"?
Is this the time to play dumb?
Bullying again?
Crap!
Who?!
Who did it?!
Stop, Himura!
Calm down!
Resurrected Memories
Locked in this heart
Yo, Himura-kun.
Did you finally decide to join the art club?
I'm not in the mood to joke around with you!
Is this about Yuuko?
You're making quite the commotion, aren't you?
Oh, look how calm you are.
It's nothing to get all worked up about.
The one that started it was Yuuko, apparently.
They're the ones that lit the fuse.
She wasn't injured, so I had her go home.
She's even writing a self-reflection piece.
She did have some...
She did have some wounds!
On her shoulder, there's an injury!
Is that so?
Why did she remain silent, I wonder...
Amamiya-sensei...
Did you know that Yuuko was being bullied?
Bullied?
Yes!
If nothings done, at this rate, it'll be really bad, won't it?
Something else might happen!
If we don't take measures....
Himura-kun. This is a trivial matter.
It's all right if you just leave it alone.
This is a problem with Yuuko herself.
No way...
You see this as anything, Sensei?!
Even if you aren't related by blood,
She's still you're younger sister, isn't she?!
Indeed, she's my younger sister.
If that is so, then this is nothing an outsider like you should be sticking your nose into, Himura-kun.
Is that not so?
Did you go home?
To deceive your enemies, you have to deceive your allies first.
Isn't that what they say?
Who's the enemy, and who's your ally?
Himura-senpai is my ally, right?
Who knows? Maybe I am.
Even though you're nice.
That wasn't appropriate.
Did you go to the nurse's office?
You're hurt, right? Have you gotten treatment?
See, I was right!
You really are my gentle ally.
I told you... That's not true!
Weren't you just going to leave it alone?
Even if something bad happened, weren't you going to laugh and pretend it didn't hurt?
A fight... That's not like you.
You're right.
I was thinking, maybe I should react differently once in a while?
You...
To be honest, this is the first time I've hit someone since I was born.
It's something that really hurts.
What exactly happened?
A classmate searched through my bag.
Your bag?
I just suddenly got really pissed.
I see.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Himura-senpai.
What's the point of apologizing to me?
Of course, I'd apologize to you.
After all, I made the person I like worried.
Why?
It hasn't been long since we met each other again.
Even so, how can you say that?
I've always imagined it.
Imagined?
What kind of person did that Yuu-kun turn into?
In that orphanage, pained by the loss of all his relatives,
the the lonesome boy that continued to live,
the boy who liked to draw,
the boy who always looked forward,
would become just what kind of person?
Doing so, you became the exact person that I thought of.
What kind of person did you think I'd become?
That's a... secret.
I should probably hold a farewell concert before the spring uncoils.
Well, this isn't the time for that anymore, is it?
It really is the same as the Otowa in Japan here.
Yes! When I first saw this place, I was really surprised!
Even though it's winter over there, it's hot here.
It really is unbelievable.
But being able to meet Kei-senpai likes this is even more unbelievable!
It's a miracle!
I didn't think I'd come either.
I'm completely out of senpai-energy! Please let me recharge!
Jeez! It's so hot though.
Mizuki?
What is it?
Did something happen?
Something did.
Is it better if I listened?
I might have you listen then.
It's because you try to do the impossible!
I got that from you.
I don't do that!
That line proves it.
I can't beat you.
Kei-senpai, why did you suddenly come here again?
There's a little something.
I have a little bit of homework.
Homework?
Yep. Homework that's piled up for five years.
Kei... onee-chan.
Chihiro.
Onee-chan!!
Chihiro.
I've wanted to see you.
I've wanted to see you too.
I have something to tell you. Something that I have to tell you.
It's fine. It's fine, so...
What happened before the accident...
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Are you fine? Are you already all right?
I'm sorry, sister!
It's not something you should be apologizing for!
The one that has to apologize is me.
It was my fault.
I was mistaken.
Even though I knew that you like Hiro onii-chan!
I wanted to interfere.
That's not true. That's not true at all!
That's why... I'm sorry for all those things!
That's not true... Not at all...
When those two are together, they dance around each other, damaging themselves, and hurting each other.
They blame themselves, bringing more pain upon each other.
Even if their hearts are connected, once Chihiro-chan's memories disappear,
they return to the starting point, and hurt each other once again.
Forever, that's been repeating.
That's why they had to be separated.
But it seems like that worry is now gone.
A lot of things happened to you too, didn't they?
Yeah.
Thanks to Tsutsumi-senpai, I gathered the courage to come meet you like this.
I'll introduce you to him sometime.
Okay!
Chihiro, you've overcome a lot of things too, haven't you?
Thanks to Renji-kun, I've gotten rid of all of my sad feelings.
You've become strong.
Only because I want to be like you.
I've had times where I thought "If only I could be like Chihiro" though, too.
In the end, both you and I were taken by someone that wasn't Hiro Onii-chan.
Yeah.
Chihiro, are you happy now?
Yes.
What about you?
Of course!
I'm glad I came. I got to see your smile!
Me too.
Those two can walk on their own feet with this.
With this, no matter what happens, they can stand with their own strength.
With this, there's nothing else to worry about.
What should I...
What should I do to become like them?
In order not to hurt the ones you love, you hurt yourself...
That hurts others even more...
For the one you love, you separate yourself...
And that makes the person you love suffer even more!
What should I do make that... to make that sad cycle stop?
What should I...
Could you have possibly...
I see. You're the one.
I'm sorry?
You. You're the one that's been following Kuze around.
Would you stop it already?
No way... Why?!
Because I'm going out with Kuze Shuuichi.
Can I have a moment, Yuuko?
Brother.
What was today about?
A classmate was searching through my bag.
Your bag?
It's inside my bag.
I see. Let's forget about it this time.
I have my own considerations.
Are you worried about something like that?
I wonder about that.
You showed him that arm?
No.
It doesn't matter if you declared it to him.
What he's most afraid of is abandoning you.
How foolish.
He should only be thinking of how to save himself.
Even though it's impossible to atone in regards to someone who's already dead.
I didn't expect you to carry it around with you.
You're the one who gave it to me as a protective charm.
What do you intend to do?
Nothing. I just want to see what happens.
If you do that, people will misunderstand.
I'm already misunderstood.
I see. That's right.
The feelings that could reach,
and the feelings that couldn't.
Ef - a tale of melodies. Flection.
Can you hear it? The true melody.
