Hello? Mom?
Come back?
You're telling me to leave this boarding house?
Mom, I'll call you again later.
You're going to leave here?
No, I was just told she wants me to go back, that's all.
I see.
You're not going back, right?
I was just told that, so I'm going to think about it for a bit.
A tomorrow without Souhei
I haven't even thought about it.
Where are you aiming?
So you were here after all.
Hey Souhei!
Can I borrow Hayato for a bit?
I see, you guys broke up.
Yeah.
What was the reason?
You were trying to keep your promise of always staying by my side, right?
Even though your real feelings aren't here anymore.
We talked about this before, didn't we?
What?
Looking at my parents, I didn't believe in forever or eternity.
But I wanted to think I was different.
Yeah.
It wasn't any good.
I can't believe that in myself either.
You know, I got a call from my mom the other day.
She asked me if I would come home.
My mom was crying.
After breaking up with Miyuki, I really thought about it.
That I've just been running away from reality.
I have to face it more, don't I?
I guess so.
I'm so satisfied with my shopping for fall.
-Right?
Yup.
Miku was the only one that didn't buy anything.
Miku?
What's wrong with you today?
Did something happen with Katagiri-kun?
Hayato?
Nothing much.
Really?
-Yeah.
You're kind of strange today.
My mind became occupied about Souhei.
Sou-chan!
Sorry for calling you out.
It's okay.
I brought the books and CDs that I borrowed too.
There was quite a lot, wasn't there?
That's true.
Are you doing okay?
Yeah.
It's nice not having to send pointless texts like "Good morning" or "The sky is pretty" once you get used to it.
Do you have your club activities after this?
-Yeah.
Do your best.
Okay.
See you.
Miyuki!
What?
Thank you.
I have to thank you too, Sou-chan.
I'm glad we got to talk normally.
Yeah.
Hey, why did Souhei and Ozawa break up?
Souhei only kept saying it was his fault.
But then isn't this a chance for Takeru?
Why?
Ozawa is free now.
-I wouldn't try to butt in at a weak spot like that.
It's because you keep pretending to be cool and saying things like that that you can't get a girlfriend.
-You haven't gotten Kiyoka-san to be your partner either.
I'm just getting started .
Sempai, what was it that you wanted to talk about?
Did something happen?
It's Souhei that something happened to, right?
I can't watch this, you forcing yourself to smile.
It's easier for me to be smiling right now.
It doesn't hurt?
I'm fine.
Souhei.
Yes?
I like you, Souhei.
I'm sorry.
Will I not do?
Sorry.
What are you talking about now at this point?
I just kind of don't really know anymore.
Let's see...
To like someone means just thinking about that person, you smile
You become noisy,
You get jealous over little things,
It's suffocating and you want to cry.
It's a feeling that you yourself can't even do anything to stop.
I'm back!
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Huh? Miku? Hello?
There is
Only one love
Good work.
Souhei-kun.
What are you doing?
I'm cutting off some of the side twigs.
For plants, if you don't cut off these excess branches, it won't be able to grow big.
You want to try it too, Souhei-kun?
Okay.
That's right, Miku.
What?
Souhei-kun is going back to his mom's place.
It's really sudden, but it looks like there's some situations at his home.
When is he moving?
Next week.
That soon?
Yeah, he said while it's still summer break.
Souhei's going to be gone
Even though...
I meant to overwrite love with love
So my love is Souhei.
What did you want to talk about?
Um...
I...
Miku.
Let us be over with.
That's what you wanted to say right?
I knew it.
Because everything shows on your face.
I don't regret it.
It was all...
It was all Hayato.
The one that said he likes me, and the one that went out with me.
Dates, holding hands.
Hayato was the first for all of it.
I'm glad it was Hayato.
Well then, let's pray for Narahashi Souhei-kun's health and growth from here on out--
-What is that?
It's like the greeting of a company president.
-Honey, it's better to more casual.
Ah, that's right.
Well, anyhow, it's that...
Then, cheers.
Cheers~!
Thank you very much.
Then words from Souhei-kun.
Really?
That's right, you're the main today.
Well then.
Actually, I...
I ran away to here.
It's true that it was tough getting to school, but it was an excuse.
My mom became tense after getting divorced.
It was hard being together.
I thought I wanted to be here forever, but...
When I heard my mom's lonely voice, I felt really bad.
I have to face her properly, because she's my family.
But will you be okay?
Yes.
I have to grow some more.
Oh my, Takki-san are you crying?
I'm not crying.
What are you crying for?
Oh no, come on, let's eat our meal.
-Okay.
Ittadakimasu!
Souhei-kun, have lots of fried chicken, okay?
-Okay.
Souhei.
Want some barley tea?
I want some.
Here.
Thanks.
It's good.
Summer's already ending.
That's right.
I have you give you back the wind chime.
It's okay.
Put it up again next year.
Thanks.
Then I'll do that.
Yeah.
But Souhei won't be here then.
This close distance
This atmosphere
And this house with Souhei
It all ends today.
Lend me just your arm.
Don't go.
Please don't go.
Summer with Souhei here was over.
It's been one year since Souhei left.
Summer one year later.
You still can't forget him, right? Your fated person.
Miku-chan, take one step forward.
I'm asking if you get it.
Miku, I like you.
Hand in hand
