        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki doki.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki.
 
 <167>
        Sound:   Giri.
        Sound:   Gu.
        Youta:   Close your eyes, Moemi-chan...
        Sound:   Su.
 
 <168>
     Gokuraku:   I'm sure something is happening to Ai... I should
                 see her...
        Sound:   Ton ton.
     Gokuraku:   Um.
     Gokuraku:   Ai!
           Ai:   Hehe...
 
 <169>
     Gokuraku:   Good timing... I was just thinking about going to
                 see you...
        Sound:   Zas za za za za za za.
           Ai:   Something's wrong with this one, too, huh.
     Gokuraku:   Um...
           Ai:   My memory is almost returning...
     Gokuraku:   That's what I thought...
 
 <170>
     Gokuraku:   Did this irregularity start naturally? Or, did
                 something in your environment change...
           Ai:   Youta got a new girlfriend.
     Gokuraku:   Um... He can't stop loving somebody for a moment...
                 At least, when you exist...
           Ai:   Does that mean... If he wants to go out, then he
                 should after I disappear?
     Gokuraku:   Wohon. Goho goho. No... Well... What...
           Ai:   Don't feel bad. I don't mind so much.
 
 <171>
           Ai:   I made up my mind about my disappearing someday,
                 about being a Video Girl, and about Youta...
           Ai:   But, I guess the me from the past won't forgive
                 that... I'm fine even when I see Youta and
                 Moemi-chan having fun, but the me from the past
                 struggles.
           Ai:   Hey! Does this...mean that the me from the past like
                 Youta incomparably more than I do now!?
        Sound:   Ba.
           Ai:   I don't want to remember...that past...
 
 <172>
        Sound:   Gu.
           Ai:   I don't want to remember the memory I lost! Do
                 something, old man!!
 
 <173>
     Gokuraku:   Ai... There is one way...
     Gokuraku:   Rewind your tape to when you didn't love Youta.
     Gokuraku:   But, then the count-down will start someday, and the
                 original Ai, which is alive in your lost memories,
                 will awaken.
     Gokuraku:   But, then you can rewind it again... If you repeat
                 it, you can be alive forever, without
                 disappearing... But, both your experience and
                 emotions won't get deeper...
                 What do you want to do? Ai!
 
 <174>
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki.
        Moemi:   This... I was going downstairs... Here...
        Sound:   Kuru.
        Youta:   She...dodged...
 
 <175>
        Moemi:   It's...the first time...
        Moemi:   Let me prepare my mind.
        Youta:   That means? Later?
 
 <176>
        Moemi:   ...So much...
        Moemi:   I'm embarrassed...
        Moemi:   It didn't happen when I was going out with
                 Takashi-kun. I wasn't so excited, but more afraid...
                 Does it mean that I like Moteuchi-kun this much...
 
 <177>
        Youta:   It's like a dream that I'm able to eat your
                 home-made food. I'd die for it.
        Moemi:   You're exaggerating.
        Sound:   Za-.
 
 <178>
        Youta:   If I think about that time, I had to put so much
                 effort into talking to her...
        Youta:   Ah, Moemi-chan...
        Sound:   Doki doki doki. Su.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki. Su.
        Youta:   Be courageous, it's just a greeting!! It's easy!
                 Now, I'll say it.
        Sound:   Dokun dokun.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki doki doki.
        Youta:   G...
        Sound:   Guru.
        Youta:   Stupid, don't give up!! Just a greeting!! Say it!!
 
 <179>
        Sound:   Gura.
        Youta:   G...
        Youta:   G'morning...Hayakawa-san.
        Youta:   I said it.
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki doki doki doki doki.
        Moemi:   Oh... g'morning.
        Sound:   Peko.
        Sound:   Kuru.
        Youta:   That's it...
        Youta:   I thought so, but I felt like I'd gone to heaven
                 when I was able to communicate with her...
        Youta:   But, now...
        Moemi:   I told you, it's hard to cook.
 
 <180>
        Moemi:   Gee.
        Youta:   Moemi-chan...
        Sound:   Kyan.
 
 <181>
        Moemi:   My hands are wet. You'll be wet, too.
        Youta:   It's okay...
        Youta:   You prepared enough, right?
        Moemi:   Eh.
 
 <183>
           Ai:   I don't want my memory back.
           Ai:   But... I don't want to rewind the tape. If I
                 disappear when the playing time is up, it's fine.
           Ai:   I'll die at my lifespan. It means that, right. I
                 want to live like a person. ...The same human being
                 as Youta...
                 It's one of my dreams.
     Gokuraku:   Ai...
                 That decision will fail if your memory comes back...
