Um Girl: Asaba-kun Girl: Why are keeping close to me? /Girl/ We'd never even spoken before... Hideaki: ......Because... Because *shiver* Hideaki: It's terrible when girls pick on other girls. I can't stand it! -313- Hideaki: IF GIRLS ARE LIKE THIS Hideaki: I WON'T SPEAK WITH GIRLS ANYMORE! /narrator/ Asaba-kun was really popular with the girls Girl: Thanks very much /narrator/ From then on, the attacks on me quickly stopped. Hideaki: Really!? I helped?? -314- Hideaki: I'm glad. Cuz you seem like the kind of person who just wants to be left alone. Hideaki: I was worried you'd find me too annoying. [read: loud, fussy] Girl: ......... [image of Hideaki surrounded by girls] Because he's always like this... Girl: .........I misunderstood you. I thought you were superficial, so I thought I wouldn't like you, but Girl: You're really very kind Girl: I'm sorry I didn't know this before -315- /narrator/ We became friends /narrator/ going about aimlessly like stray cats /narrator/ When he was with me as I, hating noise, spent some time alone, he had a different look than his usual. -316- Hideaki [Off]: You're going to Hokuei High School!? Hideaki: That's right. You're pretty smart, ne. Truth is, I'm going to Hokuei, too-- Girl: Ehhh!? Hideaki: You're seriously surprised, aren't you... Ah, well.

Hideaki: My dad is getting transferred, but Hideaki: I hate him, so -317- Hideaki: he said that I could stay here if I was accepted at Hokuei Girl?: So then we could study together? Nobody's coming home to my place until morning! Hideaki: Is that OK!? -318- /narrator/ Even I had heard the rumors that Asaba-kun rarely goes home, but instead spends the night over at his friends' and older girlfriends' places. /narrator/ This is a person who just doesn't want to be at home. /narrator/ I knew why he was so popular /narrator/ As a consequence to his loneliness -319- /narrator/ his heart found a need for women Girl: Asaba-kun Girl: I'm glad to see you. You haven't been coming by much lately, so I've been worried------ Girl: ------- What's wrong? -320- Hideaki: My dad and I don't see eye to eye... Hideaki: I'm just a prodigal son, and he's exactly like his own father who tormented his wife and children. Hideaki: He says it makes him sick just looking at me. Hideaki: But I'm the one who feels sick because of his hipocrisy. Hideaki: We're father and son, but we just don't get along. -321- Hideaki: Noone was there when I got home. [Off]: We're home---- Ah, Hakone [Off]: You should go already [Off]: ! ..........Hideaki. You were home...... [Off]: Nii-san.... -322- Hideaki: A faint smile cropped up on his face, like he was happy or something. Hideaki: It was so insignificant, but I want to kill him -323- Girl: It really didn't mean much, right? Girl: It's not something you should mess your life up over Girl: If you leave home when you become an adult, you can leave all these worthless hardships behind. -324- Girl: That's right. Girl: If you go outside, everybody loves you. There aren't very many great guys like you. Girl: There's no reason why you can't be happy. Girl: If you wait just a little while longer, you can be free. -325- Girl: Be happy, and you won't even remember how painful it was. Hideaki: ......... Thank you. Hideaki: I do love you [note: "anata suki da"; I think he just means it as friends] Hideaki: When I'm an adult... -326- /narrator/ I didn't love [read: romantic love] Asaba-kun. If I wished for it, it could have come true, but /narrator/ He's the best and kindest guy /narrator/ Whichever girl who'd be with him would probably be happy. -327- /narrator/ Because it would be just so sad /narrator/ if he was left in the ditch----------.. -328- /narrator/ The person he would devote his eternal love to is probably somewhere else right now. /narrator/ We entered Hokuei High School as new students. /narrator/ As usual /narrator/ Asaba-kun went about aimlessly. -329- /narrator/ Asaba-kun met Arima-kun in this high school. He was strongly attracted to him. /narrator/ If Arima-kun had been a girl, he could have been his fated partner. [note: Should I read that as a soulmate?] Hideaki: I thought he would have some homosexual love like me, but------ I wonder if it's just hopeless I don't have any of those qualities~~~~~ // (Stupid talk) -330- /narrator/ Those days, too, came to an end. Hideaki: You've settled on a college. Congratulations. Hideaki: It's going to be so lonely going to different schools, but /Hideaki/ Although, I wonder if I'm even going to be a college student or what Girl: Asaba-kun Girl: I want you to kiss me. -331- Girl: From here on, the day when I will also fall in love with somebody is probably coming, but I would like you Girl: to be the first. Hideaki: Really? Hideaki: That makes me happy. -332- /narrator/ We spent our time alone at ease. But we knew that this moment wouldn't live on. /narrator/ I'm going to go on with my life -333- /narrator/ So that Asaba-kun can meet the woman he's destined to be with. -334- [Yukino is walking down the hall] Yukino: Ah Yukino: Hello! Have you seen Asapin? Girl: He's up on the roof. /Yukino/ If you look at her closely, she's pretty tall and she's got great style!! /Yukino/ How come I never noticed her?? Yukino: You're beautiful~~~~~~~~~ I really haven't talked to you until now so I hadn't noticed! Girl: Thank you. -335- Yukino: From now on, I think you should lift up your face properly Yukino: Yeah, that's much better! /narrator/ Even though my worries had so faded /narrator/ Asaba-kun was the only one who had noticed me -336- Yukino: Asapi--------n Hideaki: ......YO Hideaki: YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED CUZ YOU'RE PREGNANT!?
