Youta: I walked to her unconsciously, like I was led. Youta: Did Natsumi-chan bring me here to let me see Ai-chan... <107> Youta: I can't believe this! Just a while ago, Natsumi-chan was active, and in my room... Natsumi: This is the last time I'll pull your hand up. Sound: Su. Sound: Fu. Youta: She's still...so warm! I can't believe she died!! Sound: Gaku. Sound: Gugu. Youta: I...was only helped by you... <108> Youta: Natsumi-chan... Natsumi: Don't make such a down face. Cheer up. <109> Youta: I couldn't do anything for her... Youta: Shit! Shit!! <110> Sound: Cha. Sound: Batan. Ai: Youta... <111> Sound: Su. <112> Ai: Aren't you going home? Kouji: I'll stay with her a little longer. Ai: Bye... Kouji: Okay... <113> Sound: Za. <114> Ai: I'll call you... Youta: Ah. <115> Youta: I shouldn't have let her go like that... Youta: She said she would call me, but...I can't count on it... Youta: I could finally see her... Youta: It was too sudden for Natsumi-chan to die, and... Too shocking... My mind Youta: It was just white. So, now for the first time, each of those moments come up clearly... Youta: ...Like a dream... That I could hold Ai-chan...and that Natsumi-chan isn't in this world anymore... <116> Natsumi: You really goofed. Youta: Sorry, Natsumi-chan. you let me see Ai-chan, but I lost that chance... If I can, I want to see you and apologize! And I want to be scolded! ...It's such a pain that I can't talk to you anymore... Such a... Narrator: Not only Youta, but Ai and Kouji had their own thoughts in their hearts, and couldn't sleep. They taste the bitterness and weight of a person's death and let their tears sink into the dark of night... <117> Kouji: This is the last place Natsumi spent her life... Kouji: I wonder what she felt and thought...here... Kouji: If I had seen her sooner, she might not have had to die... Kouji: She's been lonely since her childhood... When she was still in kindergarten, she lost her parents in a traffic accident, and she was adopted by her aunt in Okayama... I heard they didn't take care of her well, either... They didn't come to the hospital at all this time as well, right... <118> Kouji: Uh... I can't talk about others... Kouji: Natsumi would be happy if you had it. <119> Sound: Su. Sound: Ziwa. Ai: I smell Natsumi-chan... Kouji: Niimai-kun... Kouji: I was able to see Natsumi because you stopped them. Thanks. Takashi: I can only do this much. <120> Takashi: Shimizu-san, what are you going to do from now on? Sound: Gu. Kouji: What am I going to do. Kouji: I'll go back to Okayama and think hard. Ai: What are you saying! Ai: Natsumi-chan gave you permission. You can only accomplish your dreams! <121> Kouji: That's right. Youta: As I thought, she didn't call me... I was stupid... I should have stopped here then... A guy like me... <122> Ai: Gee, it's not safe. Lock your door. You wouldn't even know if a thief came in like this. Youta: Ai-chan! <123> Ai: It's been a long time, so I put your type of outfit on. Sound: Hira. Ai: Ah. Youta: Natsumi-chan, I'll be honest. I'll be honest to myself! Ai: Natsumi-chan, I can't ignore it, so I'll listen to your will. I will make nice memories with Youta. End of Chapter
