Well, I like you too.
That's why I can't reciprocate your feelings.
Go home now.
And...
please don't ever come see me again.
Chihiro-senpai...
Yo.
Kei-senpai?!
Love, I've got to feel it
If you put your trust in me
I know what my life would be
Oh, you are all I ever need
I try to hear what you say
So I pray
But you're fading away
Don't go and break my fragile heart
We won't fall apart
'Cause you're my only star
I wonder why my tears come at night
Calling you, so like a little child
All the things you have in mind
I wish I could see your insides
My love, you've got to feel it
And if we put our trust in you and me
You know what our lives would be
Oh, you are the one, I believe
Sheesh, you're the worst!
Sometimes I wonder if you're even human!
What do you mean?
Kyosuke, I'm technically your ex-girlfriend, you know.
What about it?
So why are you making me edit videos of your current girlfriend?
Because you're the best at it, of course.
I guess even if you are a failure as a human,
if you capture good footage, then you're a good cameraman.
Is that an insult? Or are you praising me?
Fifty-fifty.
What's that in your hand?
Apparently, it's a good-luck charm for love.
A classmate...
gave it to me.
Tsutsumi's
an idiot!
Well, it's not like I need it or anything.
I take back everything I just said.
You're a failure, seventy-thirty.
Hey, are you satisfied with everything that's going on right now?
In exchange for my editing this, you'd better help me film my work.
But I'm no longer part of the Film Research Club.
I didn't accept your resignation.
Are you serious?
Do you really think I'd let a talent like yours escape?
Work is work.
Private matters are private matters.
And sex is sex, eh?
How's it going with your girlfriend?
Well...
This really pisses me off.
You can walk on your own two feet now, huh?
Nah, I can't just walk.
As long as I'm able to stand, I'll run as fast as I can!
If you rush that much, won't you trip and fall?
It's fine, because there's someone who will catch me and support me if I fall.
And also, since I have to keep on running.
Because of your sister?
I have to always be a cool sister.
It's important to rest your legs occasionally, you know,
in order to heal your wounds.
Some wounds don't heal.
Are your wounds beyond healing?
Has it already been five years?

I'd like to see you too.
The city of Otowa in Australia, where Chihiro lives, is supposedly identical to this place.
The only difference is that the seasons are reversed.
The climate is similar to Japan's, and there's no time difference.
Twin cities in different locations.
It's almost like Chihiro and me.
Kei-chan, would you like to see Chihiro-chan?
Yeah.
In that case, why don't you go see her?
Don't make it sound so simple!
She's on the opposite side of the planet, you know!
Isn't Mizuki-chan over there on holiday as well?
Yeah, but...
Then it can't be too hard, can it?
It is too!
Since I don't know how I could face her...
You can decide that when you see her.
Are you still afraid?
Huh?
Of seeing her.
You used to be scared, didn't you?
Yeah...
Even if I'm by your side?
Even though I don't know what the outcome will be,
whatever the outcome is, I'll always be here.
Isn't that enough?
It is.
There! That's how my Kei-chan should be!
Geez, don't treat me like a kid!
Good girl, good girl!
It's all right. I'm not afraid anymore.
Well then, do you want to go see her together?
Nagi-onee-chan!
If two people aren't connected together,
this City Project is meaningless.
Kei-chan, do you have a passport?
Huh?
I'm about to head south as well.
Let's go see Chiro-chan together.

Yu-kun... you don't need a sister?
You don't want a sister?
I don't need a sister anymore.
I'm tired of it.
Yu-onii-chan!
Don't call me brother!
I'm still alive.
Yo, Himura.
Morning.
Oh. Morning.
Let me give you a small gift.
Violin Prodigy: Kuze Shuichi-kun's Good Bye party Chapter
Violin Prodigy,
Kuze Shuichi-kun's Goodbye Party Chapter?
Here, I'll give one to you as well, Nagi.
Huh?
I definitely want you guys to come.
Something like a goodbye party doesn't really suit you, does it?
Well, I'll stop by if I have time.
So cold, like always.
Oh yeah, there's also one more person I'd like to invite.
Himura, will you help me invite her?
Me?
I'd like Amamiya Yuko-chan to come as well.
Future,
Have you taken that much of a liking to her?
Not me, but you.
Huh?
My instincts tell me that she's truly fit to be my best friend's lover.
Keep your fantasies to yourself.
But you seem to get along well with her.
It's just that she's being overly friendly towards me right now.
That's not how it appears to me, though.
This is pointless.
If you're going to keep it up, I'm going home.
Now, now, don't be so serious.
Yuko?
Oh?
Good morning, Himura-senpai.
What happened, Yuko?
What do you mean, what happened?
Is this the time for fun and games?!
Are you being bullied again?!
This isn't good!
Who is it?!
Who the hell did it?!
Stop it, Himura!
Calm down!
Reawakening memories
Closed up in this chest
Hello, Himura-kun.
Have you finally decided to join the Art Club?
I'm not in the mood for your jokes right now.
Is this about Yuko?
Yes.
I heard it was pretty serious.
You seem unconcerned.
It's really not something to make a fuss about.
I heard that Yuko started it.
That in turn enraged the other girl.
Since she wasn't hurt, I let her go home.
She's probably writing a letter of remorse.
She was hurt.
Yuko was hurt!
There was a wound on her shoulder.
I see.
I wonder why she didn't tell me.
Amamiya-sensei, don't you know that Yuko is being bullied?!
Bullied?
Yes.
It would be a problem if we ignored it, don't you agree?!
Something might happen again.
We have to take action!
Himura-kun, this is a minor issue.
Just ignore it.
This is Yuko's problem.
But...
Don't you feel anything at all?
Even though you're not blood relatives, isn't Yuko your younger sister?
Yes, she's my younger sister.
Accordingly, Himura-kun, an outsider like you shouldn't be interfering in this matter.
Isn't that right?
Didn't you go home?
Isn't there a saying that goes, "In order to deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your ally"?
Who's the enemy, and who's the ally?
Himura-senpai, you're my ally, aren't you?
Who knows?
But you're so kind.
Quit talking nonsense!
Did you go to the infirmary?
Huh?
You were hurt, weren't you?
Did you get treatment?
See? Just as I thought.
Just as I thought, you're my kind ally, Himura-senpai.
I told you, it's nothing like that!
I thought you were just going to let them be.
Didn't you say that you'd smile and pretend you weren't hurt, even if something bad happened?
It's unlike you to get into a fight.
That's true.
I just thought that a new reaction might entertain them.
Seriously...
To tell you the truth, that was my first time hitting someone.
It's actually pretty painful, isn't it?
What in the world happened?
A classmate was going through my bag.
Your bag?
And when I saw that, I suddenly got really angry.
I see.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Himura-senpai.
Why are you apologizing to me?
Of course I'm going to apologize.
Because...
I made the person I like worry.
Why?
Yes?
It's only been a few days since our reunion.
And yet, how can you say something like that?
I've always imagined...
Imagined?
...what kind of person Yu-kun had become.
At the orphanage, where everyone was grieving over the deaths of their relatives,
the one boy who was fiercely alive...
the boy who loved to draw, and who was always looking ahead...
I wondered what kind of man he grew up to be.
It turned out that he grew up to be exactly what I imagined.
What did you imagine I'd grow up to be?
That is...
a secret.
I wonder if I should hold a farewell party before the ticking stops?
I guess that's no longer a good idea.
This place really is identical to the Otowa in Japan, isn't it?
Yes! I was also quite shocked when I first saw it.
It's winter over there, but it's so hot here.
It's really amazing, isn't it?
But to me, it's more amazing that I got to see you!
This is like a miracle!
I wasn't planning on coming here, either.
I'm really low on senpai energy right now.
Please let me recharge!
Geez, it's already so hot.
Mizuki?
What is it?
Did something happen?
Yes.
Should I ask?
I might want you to.
You always overexert yourself.
I learned that from you.
I never push myself too hard.
If you say that, it's proof that you're someone who pushes herself too hard.
I can't win.
Kei-senpai, why did you suddenly decide to come here?
I've got some homework to do.
Homework?
Yeah.
Homework that I've let pile up for five years.
Kei... onee-chan?
Chihiro?
Onee-chan!
Chihiro!
I wanted to see you.
I wanted to see you, too!
There were things that I had to tell you when we met in person.
It's all right. It's okay.
I... remember what happened before the accident, as if it were yesterday.
It's all right. It's fine now.
I'm sorry, onee-chan!
There's no reason for you to apologize.
Because I'm the one who really needs to apologize!
It's because I was at fault. That's why I was punished.
Even though I knew you liked Hiro-onii-chan as well!
It's because I was keeping him to myself.
That's not it. That's really not it!
That's why it turned out like this!
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!
That's not it...
When they're together,
they both blame themselves like that, ultimately hurting each other.
When you think of another's feelings and blame yourself, it actually makes the other suffer more.
Even if their hearts connect and they forgive each other, as soon as Chiro-chan loses her memories,
the cycle will start again and damage them further.
It goes on and on, repeating itself.
That's why they had to be separated.
But it looks like we don't have to worry about that anymore.
A lot has happened to you as well?
Yeah.
Thanks to Tsutsumi-senpai, I summoned my courage and decided to come see you like this.
I'll introduce you to him in the future.
Okay!
Chihiro, you've gone through a lot too, haven't you?
Thanks to Renji-kun, I'm not sad anymore.
You've become strong, haven't you?
Because I want to be like you!
I, too, sometimes wish that I was just like you, Chihiro.
In the end, both you and I became involved with someone other than Hiro-onii-san?
You're right.
Chihiro, are you happy now?
Yes. What about you?
Of course!
I'm glad I came! I got to see your smile.
Me too.
The two of them can finally walk on their own feet now.
And with this, no matter what happens, they'll be able to stand up on their own.
There's nothing to worry about now.
What can I do...
What can I do to be like them?
In order not to hurt the person that I like, I end up hurting myself.
And that in turn hurts him more.
I try to distance myself from him, for his benefit.
And that rebounds and makes him suffer even more!
What can I do...
What can I do to stop this sad cycle?
What can I do?
Are you perhaps...
I see, so you're that girl.
Huh?
I heard that you've been following Kuze around.
Would you stop that? You're a nuisance.
But...
why?!
Because I'm going out with Kuze Shuichi.

Do you have a moment, Yuko?
Nii-san.
What happened today?
A classmate was going through my bag.
Bag?
That's inside it.
I see.
Well, I won't ask anymore.
I've got my own viewpoint as well.
Do you really care about those things?
Heh, you have a point.
Did you show him your arm?
No.
I'll say this clearly.
The thing he fears most is abandoning you.
How foolish,
when he should be focusing solely on saving himself.
It's impossible to repent your sins against the dead.
To think that you carried it around with you...
You're the one who gave it to me as a protective charm, right?
What are you planning to do?
Nothing.
I just want to see how this turns out.
That is how humans choose the wrong path.
I chose the wrong path a long time ago.
I see.
You're right.
Feelings that reached their target, and feelings that did not.
