Welcome to our Velvet Room...
This is actually rather hard, isn't it?
Oh, my, you're here?
Hellos and goodbyes are always two sides of the same coin.
You seem to be enjoying what little time you have left with your close friends.
The bonds that you've formed throughout your journey are both powerful and precious.
No matter how many miles may separate you,
surely you will never lose them...
I'm thinking of snowboarding. How about you, Naoto-kun?
Actually, I've never skied before in my life.
Really? That's kind of unexpected.
You'll be just fine, Naoto-kun.
Because Kanji will show the ropes, from A to Z!
What the...? H-Hey, what's up with that?
Well, I guess it's okay.
Thanks, Tatsumi-kun!
From first base to second base to home plate?
Why are you so spaced out?
You're a pervert, Kanji!
It's your mind that's perverted, damn you!
It's a video, so move around! Move around!
Hey, that looks like the real deal!
Did you buy it for this trip?
Nah, it's a display model or something from Junes.
It was lying around the house, so I brought it.
Won't you get in trouble with your dad?
It's cool, it's cool.
I mean, we want something to remember this trip by, right?
Oh, right... That's true, isn't it?
Come spring, Narukami-senpai will be moving back to the city.
So this trip will be Senpai's last memories of his time in Inaba, huh?
What's with all these gloomy faces?
It's not like we're never gonna see him again.
Right, Narukami-kun?
Right, of course!
No matter what! No matter what, let's hang out again, Sensei!
Promise us!
Come back anytime, all right?
Yeah.
Hey, is it coming into view?
Ah! So that's it?
It's quite high, isn't it?
You'll figure it out! You will!
Yay!
Hanamura, you're not too shabby!
Neither are you! Are you sure you've never snowboarded before?
Well, it's the same as skiing, right?
I said, spread your feet in a V!
If you're timid, it'll be more dangerous for you!
V-V position, V position...
Ouch!
Huh?
Oh, I-I'm sorry!
Huh?
Wh-Whoa!
S-Sorry!
Don't worry about it.
T-Tatsumi-kun? Blood! Blood!
Senpai!
Wait up!
Seriously!
Come on, Senpai, you're way too fast!
Oh, sorry.
But you're so cool!
Woo hoo!
If I win, you gotta go on a date with me!
I won't let you!
What?
Both of them are so fast!
Yes, they are.
You're not gonna overtake me just like that!
Huh? Wait...
Teddie! Stop!
Huh?
Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa!
Huh?
Oops, oops!
Well, why not get this on video?
I-I thought I was gonna die.
Hey, hey! How would you grade my jump just now?
Zero! Zero!
Just look! You're covered in snow.
I mean, aren't you cold? You're not even wearing ski gear!
I'm always toasty warm!
I see, so it's a cold-proof costume...
I'd like to know what it's made of.
Half of me is made of gentleness!
Then... What the hell is the other half made of?
Bear fur, that's what!
Gentleness and... fur?
Gentleness and fur... gentle-fur?
Hey!
Ahhhh!
Taking a bath is like cleansing your life, huh?
This is the second time we've all soaked in a huge bath like this.
The first time was at Amagi's place...
W-Well, we sure goofed off a lot last year!
Considering how busy we were with those incidents.
I never knew the outside world was so much fun until I met Sensei and you guys!
So much happened last year, didn't it?
The pick-up contest in Okina.
Now that was totally brutal.
I want to go to the beach again!
Yeah, to see the swimsuits, right?
I like yukata robes, too!
Nana-chan was so cute during the fireworks!
Those sparklers are short-lived, but that's why they pierce your heart so, right?
You biker gang types have a poetic side, too, I see.
Right, right, that band totally saved my butt!
That was an ordeal, Rise-chan not being able to get to the stage.
Huh?
What's wrong?
That concert... how did we get through it while Rise wasn't there?
Um...
Well... Huh? What did we do?
What's up with that groaning?
I can't remember...
Yosuke, that day... Who did we buy that sexy swimsuit for?
For the beach, you mean? That day we... Huh? Who was it for?
Wasn't it for Amagi Senpai or someone?
No! It was a really sexy type of swimsuit that wouldn't look good on Chie-chan and the others!
You're being unintentionally rude, you know.
Oh, man! It's no good! I can't remember!
And we're not even old farts yet...
Who are you calling an old fart?
I-I wasn't talking about you!
Hey, you're right.
Sorry.
You know what, I thought too hard and now I've soaked too long.
Why don't we head out now?
All righty!
Now that our bodies are clean, let's take up the challenge!
Huh? Who are you gonna challenge?
Well, you see, I saw a group of fine young college girls in the cafeteria!
Don't tell me you're gonna hit on them!
Wanna come with, Yosuke?
Not on your life!
Uh, right now, we just got out of the bath and we're chilling.
All you have to do is give in to the speed.
I-I can't!
Nobody will care!
Hey, what are you looking at?
Hmm?
The cell phone pictures I took today.
Hey, looking good!
Yu-senpai was soooo awesome!
Try snowboarding tomorrow! It's such a blast!
Sounds good.
I have some more pictures!
Hey, that's the last one.
Want to see the ones from before?
Show us! Show us!
This is from the day our band performed.
Hey, that brings back memories!
This photo...
What's wrong, Senpai?
Isn't there something off about it?
Hey, you're right.
See? Right here... why is there such a big space?
That's true. It's like somebody was there.
Somebody... was there?
Same for this one.
This one's weird, too!
But why? I just took them like normal!
Don't tell me they're ghost photos?
What?
Show me! Show me!
Why do you look so thrilled?
Yeah... I admit it is kind of weird, but isn't it just a coincidence?
But they're all like that - don't you think that's just too weird?
You think it's a ghost? The work of a ghost, maybe?
Ph-Photos of this quality... it would be child's play to doctor them.
I would never do such a thing!
Then are these... seriously?
Listen, I heard that they sometimes unearth clay figurines in these mountains.
Maybe years ago, this whole place used to be a cemetery!
Wh-Wh-Wh-Why would you mention that now?
Stop it! There is something about the mountains! Seriously!
I don't need that kind of experience unless it's a shoot!
Really...
Why are you looking so serious?
O-O-Oral traditions are merely cultural products with a strong storytelling component,
and as such they are not backed up by science,
and if this place is an ancient burial ground,
it would be the same as a shrine, s-so in other words...
Naoto-kun, are you afraid of ghosts, by any chance?
Huh? Uh...um...
Yes.
[Smitten!]
Oh, please, I totally can't take this! Let's talk about something more fun!
Hey! All right, then, let's watch the video I shot today!
Huh?
What's wrong?
Well...
There's something here besides today's footage...
That's a display model, by the way, so handle it with care!
Hey, this is...
Wow! That brings back memories!
Come to think of it, we did shoot this video, didn't we?
Whaaat? D-Don't think about it! You gotta feel it! Just kidding!
Um... May I ask a question?
This video...who's the one taking it?
Huh? Narukami-kun... Wasn't it you?
You better believe it is! Here, a special bonus for a beefsteak lover!
No, it wasn't me.
We're all in this video, aren't we?
Hey, hey, then seriously, who was shooting this, then?
D-Don't tell me... for real...?
B-B-Blackout!
I mean, something just passed by! Right now... something... here!
Oh, please! The lights! The lights - turn them on!
Just chill, will you? Uh...where's the switch?
You peeked, didn't you?
Feasting on snacks when I'm not here... I'm gonna curse you!
Shall we take him out?
Yes, let's kill him.
Sorry, Teddie. There's only us here.
No witnesses, and this will go straight to Cold Cases.
You sure about this, Detective?
Hey, my sweet babies... The light's gone out of your eyes...
Whoa!
Jeez, he scared us all for nothing!
Hey, um...
Huh? You trying to get me to bare my soul again?
Yu?
There was someone.
Huh?
Aside from us, there was someone else.
Someone?
S-Someone who?
I don't know.
Senpai, we've had enough ghost stories!
No. There really was someone.
It's just that we've forgotten about that person.
You're not joking about this, are you?
Someone else besides us...
Do you remember something?
Oh, no, it's not like I remember,
but there's something that's been bugging me.
When I was looking for my ski wear...
I found some clothes in my bureau - really adorable clothes!
But I can't remember anything.
I know these are clothes that someone picked out for me...
So when I asked Yukiko, she told me that she has clothes like that, too.
Yes, but it's strange.
For some reason, I can't remember anything about the day I bought them.
Are you serious?
What is this? What's going on?
If, just as Narukami-senpai says,
there was someone else besides us, this would all add up.
It's too bizarre to be called speculation, but...
Do you want to remember, Sensei?
Just like it was for me,
the memories you've forgotten might turn out to be painful or sad if you do remember them.
Even so...
I want to find out the truth.
Sensei...
Very well. Everyone, regarding this case,
shall we investigate anew after we've returned home?
Good idea. There's no way to investigate here, anyway.
And we want Narukami-kun to enjoy this trip as much as he can!
Thanks.
Come on, I told you to open up your heels more.
I-If I fall, will you catch me?
Don't you dare fall! Don't you dare fall, no matter what!
Hey, don't just coach Naoto-kun all day! Coach me, too!
But you can already ski without any coaching!
Well, if I'm going to get coached, I'd totally rather have Yu-senpai!
Then why don't you go over to Senpai?
Because I'm too scared to ski down the Intermediate Course.
Whoa... Wow!
Hey, are you spooked?
Like hell I am! Don't get too dazzled by my skiing, now!
Don't give me that! Let's get this show on the road!
All right, here goes!
It's like the TV world...
Are you...?
Marie!
Yu! Yu!
Narukami-kun!
Senpai!
Hey, he's awake!
Thank goodness...
You guys, why are you here?
Why are we here? Of course we came after you!
Since you moved from where you fell, we had a hard time finding you.
Really, now! We were soooo worried!
Huh? Sensei? What's the matter?
Don't tell me you're injured somewhere...
You guys, the snowstorm... Were you all right?
Snowstorm? What are you talking about?
That's...
Marie-chan's comb, right?
Yeah!
Huh?
Shut up! Shut your mouth, moron!
Don't just vanish on your own, moron!
What's up with that, moron?
You're the moron!
Full of all that stupid, pompous talk!
Don't call me a moron!
You're saying it yourself, moron!
