Guts
Good morning.
Riko!
Oh no...
Are you doing okay?
No, it's pitch black...
I'm talking about you.
I'm fine.
I'll go make another one.
Why do you keep stealing away my dreams!?
I haven't given up yet.
Riko!
Are you okay!?
Forget about breakfast, you should lie down.
I haven't gotten much sleep...
I can't get it out of my head.
What happened yesterday.
I feel terrible towards Kirino-chan...
Let's talk to Kirino again after she's calmed down.
I think...
...the both of you need some time for now.

A Past Taken Away
Hello?
What is it?
But, right now...
Onii-chan.
Let's be together forever!
Liar.
I won't let you be the only one to use your Gift!
Wait, Kirino-chan!
I...
Onii-chan!
No...
Don't leave me on my own...
Don't leave me...
Onii-chan...
Onii-chan!!!
Onii-chan?
Onii-chan!
Onii-chan?
I'm off to deliver something Dad forgot. I'll be back before noon. Haruhiko
Yes?
Riko-chan...
Kirino-chan?
I'm coming in.
Your mother is worried about you.
You should eat something.
I'm not hungry.
Sorry...
Why are you apologizing?
Umm...
What?
I...
I felt I had to talk to you.
About what?
I want to properly apologize.
Because you don't want me to use my Gift?
No!
I won't use it.
I knew it.
Kirino-chan...?
You're not being fair, Riko-chan.
I'm sorry...
You're always like that, aren't you?
Pretending to be a good girl, yet having your own way in the end.
That's not...
I'm not pretending to be a good girl...
You're not?
There you go again.
You were the one who proposed not to use our Gifts.
Yet you are the one who has already used it.
Why is that?
I'm sorry...
You told me before, didn't you?
That you had already given up on him.
Yet in the end, you're going out with him. Why is that?
I'm sorry...
Do you really think apologizing will make everything all right?
No!
I really feel bad about it!
About using my Gift...
It has always bothered me!
I regretted it.
That's why I...
You never even told me.
If I hadn't heard from Haruhiko-kun, I would have never known.
Isn't that right?
I properly told you, didn't I?
I properly told you when I used that fake Gift, didn't I?
I properly told you I didn't do it on purpose, didn't I?
In hindsight, I shouldn't have held back.
I'm sorry...
I should've kept coming over to wake Haruhiko-kun in spite of your return.
I'm sorry...
I should've kept coming over to make him breakfast every morning.
I'm sorry...
I should've just used my Gift!
I'm sorry!
"Sorry, sorry!"
If you're so sorry, how about breaking up with him!?
How about leaving that house!?
I no longer want to hear your pathetic excuses!
Go away.
Go away!
I have nothing to discuss with you anymore!
As long as it doesn't concern onii-chan, I'll do anything!
So please...
Forgive me!
Forgive me, Kirino-chan!
Forgive me!
Then...
...give me back my memories.
I want the memories of your time spent with Haruhiko-kun.
I'll let you have Haruhiko-kun from now.
In return, I want you to give back the time you spent with Haruhiko-kun that was supposed to be mine.
But how would I do that...?
You'd do anything, wouldn't you?
Was that another lie?
Dad is unbelievable.
Making me run errands at a time like this...
Didn't I tell you not to beat the final boss on your own?
I'm coming over right now, so wait up!
Elementary school kids are already carrying cellphones?
In our time...
So I got a new family member yesterday.
Is that so?
I'll introduce you to her tomorrow.
Her name is Riko-chan.
Should I bring her over right now?
No, that's all right.
Okay.
Tomorrow it'll be then.
Hey, Haruhiko-kun.
What is it?
Could you keep this string phone a secret?
To Riko-chan as well.
Why?
Because this our secret phone!
It has always been that way.
That's why...
Okay, I understand!
Really?
Yep!
It's a promise!
Never ever tell anyone!
It's our little secret!
I see...
Ever since that time, Kirino has...
I guess I was the only one being thickheaded...
I have to properly set this straight myself.
I'll check up on Riko first...
...and talk to Kirino afterwards.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
I will go prepare lunch.
That's okay, you should get some sleep!
Riko, no need to make lunch for me.
Whose were these again?
What are you talking about? We bought these on our school trip together!
School trip?
Together?
Hey!
You're acting strange.
I'm sorry!
No, I'm sorry.
It was my faul—
Huh?
Why am I crying?
Why?
Riko!
What's the matter with you? Get a grip!
Onii-chan?
Yeah, that's right, it's me!
Onii-chan?
What do you mean?
I don't have a brother!
I don't have any family!
Calm down!
This is your house, Riko!
Excuse me.
I will go prepare breakfast now.
This isn't the time for that!
No...
I'm not allowed to make you breakfast.
Kirino-chan!
Kirino-chan is coming!
Kirino!?
Let me go!
Hurry! Let me go!
Hey, calm down!
Why would Kirino...
You're my onii-chan right now!
I'm sorry...
I...
Why did I...
I'm sorry, Kirino-chan...
I broke your tea cup...
I'm so sorry...
She's out?
Yes...
She said something about going to see the rainbow...
Kirino!
Riko is acting strange.
Do you know anything about it?
Hey, Haruhiko-kun, do you remember?
On a rainy day when we were little...
...we went to see the rainbow here together, didn't we?
That rainbow is a present from me.
What are you talking about?
Riko gave that...
And what about that time?
I went to the research facility in the middle of a storm to get tomatoes for you.
I got a nasty cold from that, didn't I?
I was so happy you were worried about me.
Kirino...
You also saved me from a falling locker once, didn't you?
You even wanted to erase the rainbow for my sake!
But what I was most happy about...
...was when you called me family.
When you called me your little sister!
I was really happy about that!
Kirino...
So you used your Gift...
That's right.
I got it back.
Everything Riko-chan took from me.
All the memories of her time spent with you.
Kirino...
You...
Riko-chan gave them to me.
In exchange for the Haruhiko-kun from this point on.
That is why the rainbow isn't black.
See?
That is why it will be fine like this.
No way...
I'm sorry, Haruhiko-kun.
I caused you so much trouble...
But I won't be selfish any longer.
This is enough for me.
With this, I'll be able to move on.
What are you doing?
I'm cleaning.
But it's my shift this week.
But it's my job...
You don't have to do this!
Umm...
Do you really not remember?
We're family now.
Isn't that right?
That is why you should call me "onii-chan" from now!
What was that...?
I don't know...
Riko?
I don't know!
You damn moron!
Kirino...
It's been a while since I've been here.
You always came to my place...
I'm sorry.
Hey, could you play once more?
Hey, Haruhiko-kun...
I...
...can't play a piano piece till the end.
I haven't been able to for a long time.
Ever since that day...
A piano competition?
That's amazing, Kirino!
Do your best!
H-Hey, Haruhiko-kun...
Can I ask you a favor?
What is it?
Cheer me on...
I want you to come cheer me on!
Okay! I'll come cheer you on!
Really?
Yeah!
It's a promise!
Don't break it!
Okay, I promise!
I waited...
I waited so long...
What?
E-Err...
Did Riko-chan really leave?
Yeah.
That's a shame...
I had my competition today...
Oh, was that today?
How'd it go?
I won the competition!
I won... the competition...
That's why I wish you could have seen me...
My little sister is gone!
How could I ever go see you!?
I...
...always...
...wanted to be in Riko-chan's place.
That's why...
That's why I...
But you know, it's strange.
I still can't play the piano!
Even though I have my memories with you...
Even though I got them back from Riko-chan!
Why!?
Kirino...
Why, Haruhiko-kun...
What now?
What should I do now!?
What should I do!?
It's my fault.
Both Kirino and Riko...
It's all because of me...
I'm alone again...
At least you have always been with me, haven't you?
I wonder why...
...I get that feeling.
I'm sorry.
I can't even remember your name...
Am I... really supposed to be here...?
kyoushitsu no sumikko de In a corner of the classroom
kuchizusanda okiniiri no uta I hummed my favourite song
naze ka kyou wa kanashii kimochi ga Why did those melancholic feelings
afureteshimatta yo well up within me today
okaeri, watashi machi wa yasashiku When I return, will this town
mukaetekureru no gently welcome me back?
nee anata ni aitai na Hey, I want to meet you
umaku waraetenai toki wa sotto oshiete hoshii In times you feel down, I wish you would tell me
hikikaesenakunaru mae ni before you can no longer turn back
futari kokoro niji wo kakete Linking a rainbow between our hearts
hitori ja nai to itte ne Say that I'm not alone
inori ga todokimasu youni So that my prayers may be heard
I can't remember anything.
Neither those incredibly precious days...
...nor the people most important to me.
Everything is slipping through my fingers.
Gift was supposed to bring people happiness...
Where could things have gone wrong?
The Secret of Gift
Next time, "The Secret of Gift."
Gift. A present from a distant past...
