Yuko-chan.
What's up with Yuu?
Himura-senpai? Nothing.
It seems like he hasn't been to school for a while, and he's not home either.
Is that so?
I thought you would know something.
Sorry, I don't.
You weren't at school for a while either, were you?
Yes.
On same day as Yuu.
You don't know what's up with Yuu?
No.
Is there something else you need?
I'm not good at being delicate about these things, so I'll say it directly.
Don't make Yuu unhappy.
That's all you can do now.
Making Himura-senpai unhappy...
Isn't that exactly what I wanted?
Wasn't that the idea ever since the beginning?
But...
Why?
I didn't make Yuuko my younger sister.
I wanted to take my revenge out on Himura-senpai.
I was resolved to live alone.
I wanted to hurt him, who was able to live alone.
Can I draw Yuuko's eyes?
I couldn't forget about my younger sister...
I was jealous of Himura-senpai.
Just because of something like that...
I brought so much misfortune upon Yuuko.
Just because of something like that...
I hated Himura-senpai so deeply!
That was a huge mistake.
Why didn't I notice that it was a huge mistake?
How can I atone?
I shouldn't have hurt him!
How can I save her?
I shouldn't have gotten close to him!
If I had realized my own feelings just a bit sooner...
If I had accepted that I loved her sooner...
If I had been honest from the beginning...
If I hadn't said I wanted to be his sister,
but told him I loved him from the very beginning...
I didn't think I would love him this much!
Why?!
I have returned home.
Ah, welcome back.
What's with that wound, Yuuko?
I'm not familiar with that one.
Did you do it to yourself?
What were you trying to do?
Punish yourself?
Did you feel your own guilt towards him?
Sorry...
He's just like me.
There's no reason for you to feel guilty.
You understand, right?
Yes.
It's not your fault.
It's all that earthquake's fault.
That earthquake took my younger sister from me.
Everything...
But why are you alive?!
Why are you, with the same face, alive?!
Why was she the only one to have died?
Why? Why?!
They had bad luck.
Himura-senpai!
They had bad luck.
My sister, and yours.
I know that.
However...
Are you satisfied with that?
Hell no!
But we can only accept it!
But we don't.
Both you and me shall be dragged around by the memories of our sisters until the day we die.
We won't be dragged around!
We'll be carrying them! I carry Akane's thoughts with me as I live!
Leave.
Stop, brother!
You and I are the same.
No-
What? You're not going to come at me?
Brother, stop!
You've finally decided to point that on me, have you?
Stop, Yuuko...
But, senpai...
Oh? Didn't you stop drawing?
No matter how hard they try, humans can never stop doing the things they want to do.
Your drawing, my love; they're no exception.
You love this, don't you?
Why...
Why can you...
Why can you draw my...
This is it. This is it! This is it!!!
Why?
Why, now...
This girl... Could she be...
Yes, his dead sister.
This is it! This is it!
It's this face!
This expression!
Why haven't I been able to remember until now?
Why haven't I been able to draw it until now?
This is... Amamiya's sister?
Don't touch that!
Leave!
GET OUT OF HERE!
I thought Amamiya wasn't able to draw.
It's not that he couldn't, he just didn't want to.
Ever since that earthquake, he could never draw his sister's face, no matter how hard he tried.
Then, he stopped drawing altogether.
He always shuts himself in, never finishes his drawings, and cries.
He does?
He's a sad man.
Why now, then?
Senpai.
What did you draw in that sketchbook?
I wanted to see you...
I wanted to see you!
You were lonely, weren't you?
I'm sorry. I left you all alone.
But it's okay now. We'll be together forever.
Amamiya!
Brother!
What are you doing, Amamiya! You're going to burn to death!
Amamiya!
Everything has been settled.
If I die, nothing will be left.
No one will be sad.
No one will cry.
No one will be troubled.
I'll quietly disappear from everyone's memory.
Isn't this fine?
It's exactly what I wanted.
I can't make anyone happy anymore.
I'm not going to aim for something I won't obtain.
All I can do now is wait for the end.
No one can wind the spring.
But, no one can quicken the pendulum either.
Just a bit more... but it sure is a long wait.
That's right... this song...
The courage to live...
This song... I'm certain it was...
Um, Mizuki-chan?
Senpai!
It's hard, isn't it?
It's hard.
Things like this are sad, aren't they?
They're sad.
It would have been easier to give up if he just said he hated you, right?
But he couldn't say that, could he?
Even until the end, I couldn't tell Renji-kun that I hated him.
That was the only lie I couldn't tell.
I see...
Mizuki?
Mizuki-chan?
Ah, yeah!
You're right!
Jeez, we're worried, you know?
I was just thinking about something...
Oh, right! I don't know if this would help, but...
I'm going to give you this.
In order to realize your dream, first, you need just that: a dream.
A dream?
If you throw away your memories, nothing will happen.
That's why you never give up, and follow your thoughts.
That's the first step to realizing your dream.
It's one of the things I say to myself every morning.
What is this?
The key to the roof of Otowa Academy.
Himura-san gave it to me as a charm, but I'm giving it to you.
Is that okay?
Yes. It's done wonders for Renji and I already.
W-Wait a second.
Could that be... this?
Kei-senpai, what's that?
The key to the roof of Otowa Academy in Japan.
Tsutsumi-senpai gave it to me as a charm.
Eh? Kei-senpai too?
I'm fine now, so I'll give this to you too.
Is this a charm commonly used around the world?
Who knows?
But I bet it'll be twice as powerful now!
Even though they're used, there still might be something left in them!
I don't really get it, but thank you, you two!
Oh, yeah! I have one more additional request. Is that okay?
Chihiro-senpai, could you give me a page from that?
What's wrong with me?
What am I getting all afraid of now?
Isn't this fine?
I've finally settled everything.
Everything is nice and clean now.
What am I thinking?
This medicine extends the time I have left.
Do I have to take it?
Am I going to take this medicine to extend the time I have to take more medicine?
Is that what I want?
No.
That's not what I want, is it?!
I'm scared...
...of dying.
Why?
Why am I afraid?
What am I afraid of?
Haven't I run away from everything I couldn't do?
There should be nothing chasing me.
There should be nothing worrying me.
Do you really think you could run?
Do you really think you couldn't lose?
Did you believe that you could win or lose at life?
Don't you know that just thinking about victory or defeat makes you a loser?
That's not true! That's not true at all!
When you love, you think about the sorrow of farewells?
You don't love in order to spare yourself from the sorrow?
If you fall in love, you hurt yourself.
If someone falls in love with you, you don't hurt yourself.
Yes.
What's wrong with that!
I've been happy with that!
Everything has been just fine that way!
I don't hurt anyone! No one hurts me! It's all gone well!
But, why?
Why does it hurt?!
Have I lost?
Even though I've ran away, all the way here...
Even though I've come to a place where there's no one else...
Have I lost?
I'm scared...
I'm all alone!
Music, the violin, the person I love...
I have nothing!
There's nobody!
I'm scared!
I'm all alone!
What's up?
I've come to give some courage.
Courage?
To whom?
Someone you don't know.
There's no one here that I don't know.
That's because the place isn't actually "here."
These are for a person named Amamiya Yuuko.
It would have been better if I came on the 25th, though.
You...
You're-
A past remembered.
A meeting surrounded by memories.
Ef - a tale of melodies.
Reunion.
Can you hear it? The true melody.
