On the LP's original title side, he noted in ~My Dear Sayaka~ (To my beloved Sayaka). Adam left this world without waiting for the sale of this album, as if he was running after her. They say that he died from drug usage but they haven't revealed a detailed cause of death. Starting tonight at midnight, we'll be discussing EVIL EYE's feature televised program in the BS, will you be there? I sent the reply to what you wanted to know in a hurry. Please try to be there. ------ Page 4 ------ Last Quarter Sae: Adam's lover... Sae: is that Kamijou Sayaka...? ------ Page 5 ------ Hotaru: Miura-kun and Sugisaki-kun are on their way to that lady's house, the lady they borrowed Sayaka-san's picture from before. They're trying to see if Eve's memories are really Sayaka-san's because I'm so worried... Sae: Ah.. Doujima-san, right? I see. I'm sure she can remember Sayaka-san's family. That's why both of them are absent today, huh... /memory/ If she had been healthy, she would have been a wonderful pianist about now... Hotaru: I'm going to be leaving early this afternoon, too. I'm thinking about going to Miura-kun's home. I want to talk about what we have so far... How about you, Sae-chan? Sae: Of course I'm going! I'm already too preoccupied to even think of classes. I want to see that BS movie as soon as I can too! Tetsu: This is Kamijou Sayaka when she was young and her cat, Mary-- Tetsu: And this is her lawyer father and her mother. ------ Page 6 ------ Tetsu: They have the same features as the ones from Eve's drawing. I'm fairly sure that Sayaka-san has gone inside Eve. Sae: Miura-kun, can we watch the video? Masaki: Yeah, you can watch it. Just press the playback. Tetsu: By the way, the picture from the other day came with a letter from Sayaka-san, written when she was still studying abroad. Tetsu: It's not the original writing, but... try reading it anyway. Masaki: Oi, Kayama. Your eyes are going to go bad if you watch it that closely. --------------- Page 7: no text --------------- ------ Page 8 ------ Masaki: We're lengthening a private 8 milli frame of the interval during the music intro. That's definitely Kamijou-san right by Adam. Masaki: Sayaka was like the Madonna among the band members. She was supposed to participate in the first album's recording. Masaki: But she got sick and collapsed. Masaki: Eventually that ended as an unrealized dream. /letter/ Mrs. Doujima, how are you? As for me, I'm doing really well. Living in England, I continue to discover new things every day and I don't even have time to get homesick. I also made a lot of friends, and my English has improved greatly. Right now, I'm commuting to and from the music school and doing an intense study on classical piano, but after school, I spend a lot of my time in the live house... ------ Page 9 ------ /letter/ Right now, I'm commuting to and from the music school and doing an intense study on classical piano, but after school, I spend a lot of my time at the live house, changing into a rocker girl. Even though dad says that rock is bad music and behind the times, don't you think that music is wonderful, whatever genre it may be? Right after this, I'm going to meet up with a whole lot of people, gaining lots of influence, but I think that my love for music will never change throughout my life. It would be nice to continue living with music for always. The next time I come back to Japan, please come and listen to my piano playing again. I think I can let you listen to music stronger and freer than before. LAST QUARTER ACT 11 . SAYAKA ------- Page 10 ------- Tetsu: I feel.. Tetsu: kinda sorry for Kamijou Sayaka... What's even scarier is that we weren't getting excited by this. We thought it was really sad that Sayaka-san's ever-hopeful spirit continues to be lost, unable to accept a lost future. Sae: But it's bad to sympathize with the enemy! Sayaka possessed Eve and is keeping her in that house, right? Masaki: ...... Tetsu: But she might not be able to take over Mizuki-san's body right now, right? ------- Page 11 ------- Masaki: But if that's her objective, wouldn't she go to the hospital towards Mizuki? Masaki: But after thinking it over for one whole night, it seems inconsistent somehow. Masaki: Eve's spirit slipping out from her body entails an existence similar to a ghost's, right? Masaki: Don't you think it's a little unusual for a ghost to possess a ghost? Sae: But... I don't think ghosts act the way we'd expect them to, but... Masaki: ......Ah.. /Masaki/ Oh, well. Tetsu: Dammit~~~~~~~ What in the world should we do now? Masaki: At any rate, if we don't think of a way to drive away Sayaka from inside Eve quickly.. Tetsu: Should we try excorcism? /Tetsu/ Seriously. Hotaru: Not to drive her away... Hotaru: I want for Sayaka-san to be able to go to heaven safely. Sae: Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mou~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't you guys feel like we're just turning around and around in circles on the same spot? First, we were worried about how to send Eve on to heaven. Tetsu: We really can't manage this all by ourselves after all. /Tetsu/ Haa.. Hotaru: ...... ------- Page 12 ------- Hotaru: But.... Hotaru: Who can we get to do that? Hotaru: Adam's already... Hotaru: dead... I've hidden this fact from Eve. I wonder if she would still be able to smile after this. I'm not very confident about that. But I have to keep hiding it from her. If she knows that Adam's already in heaven, then she'll certainly... ------- Page 13 ------- Masaki: Is that so... Masaki: There's a way to put Sayaka to rest! Masaki: We have to tell her that Adam's already in heaven! ------- Page 14 ------- Hotaru: But, if we tell Eve that... Tetsu: That's right, Masaki! What are you thinking! Masaki: We don't have to do it if you're that worried! Masaki: Kamijou Sayaka is the one who's crying for love of Adam, not Eve. Masaki: He's not supposed to have a connection with Mochizuki Mizuki if he had been dead 19 years earlier! Ah...... ------- Page 15 ------- Eve mustn't be obsessed with her delusions. It's Sayaka-san's sorrow that is inside Eve. /memory/ I don't know where he is or how he's doing. Is he really alright? I can't bear the worry. I'm really uneasy, for some reason. /memory/ They say that he died from drug usage but they haven't revealed a detailed cause of death. ------- Page 16 ------- Sayaka-san is just hanging about in this world, not knowing that Adam has already left this world. But if we tell her that, her spirit will go to where he is and she might be able to see Adam again. And then Eve might be released from Sayaka-san's spell and she might be able to go back to Mochizuki Mizuki's body. Sae: That's it! If we do that, then everything will fit full circle! Masaki: I'm not sure if it's going to be a smooth way to go, Masaki: I'm just saying it as an example! Tetsu: I feel like you're just throwing false hope before us! What we've been doing might not be for naught. I'm sure that the road we have followed will lead us to our goal. ------- Page 17 ------- It's alright. I'm sure everything will be fine. ------- Page 18 ------- Sae: There it is! The article on Adam's death! Masaki: You're talking too loud. Sae: ! Tetsu: There's a memorial feature in here, too. Sae: This is the only article we could get about Adam's death that mentions Sayaka in it, too. Tetsu: That was really big news back then, huh. Masaki: That's because people like those kinds of tear-jerker romances. Sae: But isn't it cool? You can almost feel the depth of their love. Sae: Dying to chase after your lover Masaki: Are you stupid? What's so cool about that? Masaki: Dying from drug overdose is the same as suicide. He wasted his life, so wouldn't that Adam actually fall down to hell? ------- Page 19 ------- Sae: Why do you have to say something awful like that! Masaki: Then Sayaka won't be able to meet Adam in heaven. They'd be miserable. Sae: Don't just kill it off like that! Hotaru: ... We have no way of knowing if Sayaka-san's spirit really will go to heaven. We can only pray. Please, God. Please let their spirits meet. I'll probably keep on praying for that, always. I've been right beside Eve all this time. ------- Page 20 ------- The last time I came to see her in the empty house, she called out Adam's name and cried. If Sayaka-san had already been inside Eve since that time when I first saw Mizuki-san, that means that I might have been friends with Sayaka-san, too. Thinking that way, it makes me feel a little sad. Eve: My life was only a short 17 years, but Eve: I really was happy. Eve: The childhood spent in this house, the 2 years I studied abroad in London, they were really happy times. ------- Page 21 ------- Eve: When I found out that I wasn't going to have much longer to live, it was painful, but I had no regrets. Eve: But to die and leave Adam... Eve: I was worried sick because he's been hurt many times and it would be so easy to break him. Eve: I wonder where Adam could be now. If I could know only that, then I could grow wings. Eve: So I can fly straight to where he is. While I was telling the others every single word Eve was telling me, I was stalling the important story that we had to tell Eve. Because tonight, Eve will disappear from my very eyes. ------- Page 22 ------- I wonder if Mizuki-san will remember us when she opens her eyes in the hospital? Masaki: Shiraishi Masaki: If you can't tell Eve, then I will. Masaki: I'm sure Eve wants to know right away. Wait, Miura-kun... Eve: What is it, Miura-kun? Eve: What do you have to tell me? Just a little later... I want to be with Eve just a little longer. Masaki: We know where Adam is. ------- Page 23 ------- Eve: Eh...? Really? Is it true? Hotaru-chan! Where Adam is... Masaki: Adam is no longer in this world. Masaki: Na, Eve... Masaki: No.... Sayaka-san. Masaki: Adam died right after you did 19 years ago. Masaki: I'm sure he's been looking for you in heaven all this time. ------- Page 24 ------- Masaki: Why don't you go to where he is right away. Hotaru: Eve... ------- Page 25 ------- /memory/ Adam is /memory/ no longer in this world. /memory/ I came so I could meet you. /memory/ Adam died right after you did /memory/ 19 years ago. /memory/ I couldn't go on after you died. /memory/ I'm sure he's been looking for you /memory/ in heaven all this time. /memory/ Don't go. Don't go anywhere anymore. ------- Page 26 ------- /memory/ Please... I love you... Adam: Sayaka...... Adam: How do you say "I love you" in Japanese? Sayaka: ......Japanese people don't really use those words. Adam: Tell me. They're words I won't say to anyone but you. Aishiteru yo... ------- Page 27 ------- /Eve/ Yaaaaaaaaaaaa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 28-29: clips of Sayaka's life from childhood 'til death, then Mizuki's life from childhood 'til meeting Adam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Page 30 ------- /memory/ ----------That's a nice tune. Did you write it?---------- /memory/ Why don't you go to where he is right away. ------- Page 31 ------- Hotaru: Ah...... Sae: Hotaru-chan! What's with Eve? Sae: What happened to her? Hotaru: Eve is... No... Hotaru: Eve's transparent... NO. Eve's disappearing! Sae: We did it... Masaki: Let's go to the hospital! Mizuki-san might open her eyes! ------- Page 32 ------- Tetsu: Hotaru-chan, quick... Masaki: Leave her alone! Let's go! Masaki: We, who can't see Eve, will never be able to understand Shiraishi's loneliness. Sae: My, seems like you understand pretty well, Miura-kun. Masaki: No, I don't. /Masaki/ It's not the same for her. But this turned out pretty well--- Tetsu [thought]: Hotaru-chin... Hotaru: Eve...... Hotaru: Are you alright...? Eve... Hotaru: Does it hurt? Hotaru: Hang on, Eve... Really soon... Hotaru: You can go back to your body really soon... Hotaru: You'll be able to meet your real family, your boyfriend, your friends... really soon... ------- Page 33 ------- Hotaru: Everything will be alright... so it's alright... Eve: I DON'T WANT TO Eve: I don't want to, Hotaru-chan... Eve: I... Dad, Mom, Yui... I hate them Eve: I hate Tomoki, Aya, and everybody else... Eve: I don't want to go back to that life! Eve: I threw that life away! ------- Page 34 ------- Eve: Adam's waiting for me... Eve: I have to go quickly... ------- Page 35 ------- Sae: Ah... Sae: It's stopped raining. Sae: It's already past visiting hours, but... I'm sure they'll let us in if Mizuki-san regains consciousness. Tetsu: I'm pretty nervous about it. Tetsu: What if she says something like, "who are you guys?" Masaki: That would be better. Masaki: I feel pretty sorry for Shiraishi, but... Masaki: it would be better for Mizuki-san Masaki: if she didn't remember this nightmare. Masaki: But what's our explanation to Tomoki-san and the others? Tetsu: Oh, yeah... That we knew Mizuki-san while she was missing. Sae: Hey, by the way. ------- Page 36 ------- Sae: Who in the world was Mizuki-san with in that empty house during the 2 weeks she was missing? Tetsu: I know---- I was so sure it was Adam, but... Masaki: She was robably going to meet him at that Shibuya intersection. Masaki: Well, everything will come clearly if Mizuki-san regains consciousness. Sae: Miura-kun! That's... Tetsu: Eh? Who? Masaki: Mizuki-san's dad! ------- Page 37 ------- Sae: Let's go, quick! Sae: Mizuki-san really is awake! Nurse: Mochizuki-san, it's alright. They said that her condition suddenly changed, but there hasn't been any change in her health. Dad: Can I see my daughter? Nurse: You can't visit with her at the ICU, but... Dad: Let me see Mizuki! Nurse: Mochizuki-san. Please calm down. Nurse: I know how you feel, but Nurse: we're doing everything we can. Nurse: Everyone's gathered some time ago, so Nurse: I'll lead you in to ICU. ------- Page 38 ------- LAST QUARTER ACT 12 . FAULT ------- Page 39 ------- Stepmom: Dear... Yui: Papa! /Yui/ Waaaaaaaaaaaah Why did this happen? We still couldn't understand it then. But we clearly knew only that we had made a big mistake. Eve became transparent not because she was going back to her body but probably because her will to live was weakening Because we told Eve about Adam. ------- Page 40 ------- We have definitely made an unforgivable mistake. Aya: It'll be my fault if Mizuki dies... Aya: Why doesn't Mizuki open her eyes? Friend: Aya... Aya: I should be the one to die! Tomoki: Stop it! Tomoki: Don't... Tomoki: talk about dying at a time like this, you idiot... ------- Page 41 ------- Aya: Didn't you commit the same offense, Tomoki! Aya: I'm not going to listening to your oh-so-great talk! Shigeru: Aya-san! Shigeru: Please. Stop it already. Shigeru: We know that you're hurting, but he's already hurting enough. Shigeru: This was an accident... This is neither of your fault. I see. This accident has been a shock through and through. But why is this happening? ------- Page 42 ------- Something was pulling strings in the great darkness It seems like the was dragged into going. The night that Mochizuki Mizuki got into an accident she carried a passport all the way to the Shibuya intersection but who in the world was she waiting for? During the 2 weeks when she was missing, who in the world was she with in that empty house? Why doesn't he show up even at a time like this? /memory/ Eve says she lived in this house alone with Adam. ------- Page 43 ------- Could something that ridiculous happen? Eve: It was the night of my 17th birthday Eve: when I met Adam. ------- Page 44 ------- Eve: That day, I had just broken up with Tomoki and Eve: I was walking dimly around Shibuya by myself. Eve: I felt so alone, I wanted to die. I didn't even worry about when I was supposed to show up for work. I couldn't even cry. Eve: I laughed. Eve: When I looked up at the sky, there was the big full moon. Eve: And that's when I heard the song Eve: "LAST QUARTER" Eve: That was the last song Adam wrote for me. ------- Page 45 ------- Hotaru: Eve! Wait... That's not how it is. Hotaru: Adam dedicated that song to his girlfriend, Sayaka... Eve: That's right. It really was a song for the piano. It's the song he wrote for me to encourage me in my sickbed. Eve: He said, "I want to put this in the album with your piano" Eve: "So get well soon", he said... Eve: But they Requiem's already done, isn't it? Such sad lyrics... Hotaru: Why...? Eve is Mochizuki Mizuki, right? You took away Mizuki-san's memories? In any case, why didn't you tell us about you yourself, Sayaka-san? ------- Page 46 ------- Eve: I wonder why. But I Eve: I was born and I died as Kamijou Sayaka. Now I live as Mochizuki Mizuki. Eve: I'm sure Adam knew that. Eve: That's why he came to meet me. Hotaru: THAT'S JUST AN ILLUSION YOU SAW! Hotaru: ADAM'S NOT IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE! Eve: WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW? ------- Page 47 ------- Eve: Adam came to save me from my loneliness. Eve: The two weeks I lived in this house with Adam was reality for me! Eve: That last night... he said, let's go together... Eve: Adam was waiting... Eve: right by that intersection. Eve: That time, I had to be drawn in by the car... ------- Page 48 ------- Eve: No. If I was drawn even closer Eve: then I might have been able to be with Adam. Hotaru: Stop it, Eve! Stop already! Hotaru: I'm sorry, Eve... I really... didin't know anything. Adam was somebody more important to you than anybody else. Hotaru: I'm supposed to know that best... Hotaru: But you don't understand either. Hotaru: Everyone's waiting for the day that Mizuki-san opens her eyes. It's not just the 4 of us. Your dad, your mom, Yui-chan, Tomoki-san, Aya-san, everybody... ------- Page 49 ------- Hotaru: If you go to where Adam is, then everyone's going to be so sad...... Eve: That's not true. Hotaru: Yes, it is! Why won't you understand? Everyone loves you! Eve: But there isn't anyone who needs me as much as Adam does. Eve: If Adam is an illusion that nobody but me can see Eve: then I have to find Adam, ne. Eve: You've tried to look for him for me. ------- Page 50 ------- Hotaru: But Eve... you can't leave this house, right? Hotaru: How do you intend to look for him? Eve: Can't I, though. Adam said that I couldn't be anywhere but here for those 2 weeks so looking for him may have been hard Eve: But I can't stand just being locked away in here anymore. Eve: Thanks for everything, Hotaru-chan. Eve: I've come to a resolution, thanks to you and your friends. Please give the others my appreciation for me. ------- Page 51 ------- No. We didn't say everything to do that to drive Eve away ------- Page 52 ------- Hotaru: Eve...? It wasn't supposed to turn out this way! Hotaru: EVE! Everything's supposed to be better! Hotaru: EVE! Hotaru: Where are you? If I had understood Eve better, Hotaru: Please answer me! this would never have happened. If doesn't come back now, everything will be my fault. ------- Page 53 ------- Hotaru: EVE--------- Tetsu: Masaki Tetsu: Maybe we should go back to the empty house to see how everything is? Masaki: You're right. Ok, I'll go. Masaki: If something happens, call me on my cell phone. ------- Page 54 ------- Tetsu: Wait, Masaki... I'll come with you... Masaki: You don't have to. Masaki: You're just gonna flake. Tetsu: I'M WORRIED ABOUT HOTARU-CHAN! Masaki: Talking too loud... /Tetsu/ Ha... Friend: Those are the kids from the other day. /memory/ We want to light incense for her. Tetsu: ... Sae: Miura-kun Masaki: I'll stay here so you guys can both go. Masaki: I guess there's no help for it---- Come on! ------- Page 55 ------- Tomoki: You came... Tomoki: I'm sorry I didn't notice. ------- Page 56 ------- Tomoki: Did you get a call from somebody? ....Yui? Sae: Uh, no. Sae: We just happened to pass by and... we heard it from the nurse. Tomoki: Would red tea be alright? Sae: Ah! Sae: Yes. Excuse me. Thank you. Tomoki: Did something happen to Hotaru-chan? That girl with the bobbed hair? Sae: Ah, no... Not really... I'm sure she'll be fine if Tetsu and Masaki are there. (said in weird Japanese) Tomoki: Don't think I can catch up to chatter... /Tomoki/ Wonder if it's dangerous to be seen with an older guy /Sae/ No, it's not like that! Tomoki: But at times like this, those are the only friends who came flying over here. Tomoki: She had such a strong front up and she didn't have anything but a social life that was only for appearances. She was cold to everyone... ------- Page 57 ------- Tomoki: You always come to visit her Tomoki: Thank you. Tomoki: But if something's going on in there, you can go back. Don't worry about me.. Sae: I'm not going back! Sae: I Sae: Please rest easy. I'll stay here until Hotaru-chan and the others get here so we can be together. Tomoki: ...... Tomoki: Oh, my... Tomoki: I'm so confused... ------- Page 58 ------- Tomoki: I... Tomoki: couldn't do anything for her... Tomoki: in the 3 years we were together... Tomoki: Those 2 weeks, where was she and who was she with? Who was she waiting for that night... I don't even have the slightest idea. I'm so ashamed. Tomoki: At least, I know... Tomoki: that I could bring her here Tomoki: and she might reply if I call out to her... Tomoki: But I couldn't do it... ------- Page 59 ------- Sae: Tomoki-san... ------- Page 60 ------- Sae: I'm going to tell you something really strange now, but will you please listen to me seriously? Masaki: Shiraishi...? ------- Page 61 ------- Hotaru: Miura-kun, Eve's... Tetsu: Eve... ------- Page 62 ------- Masaki: Oi! Shiraishi! What happened to Eve! Masaki: Oi! I can't understand why you're crying! Hotaru: U.... Hotaru: Masaki: ... Hotaru: Tetsu: Hotaru-chan Tetsu: I'm sorry. Tetsu: We left you all alone. Tetsu: But we're here with you now. Tetsu: It'll be alright. Tetsu: I'm sorry... Tetsu: Please tell us... At crucial moments, what people rely on is warm affection instead of calm judgement. ------- Page 63 ------- Before anyone knew it, we found ourselves in trouble we couldn't even understand. We failed to notice something important. A person's heart has many problems when it can't settle into expectations, but we were slow to notice. Masaki: If there are any changes in Mizuki-san's condition, Kayama's supposed to give us a call, so I think Eve is still around. Masaki: It might get bad if we don't find her in a hurry. Tetsu: But I wonder why she could leave the house all of a sudden. /Tetsu/ Wasn't she trapped in here? Hotaru: Maybe Eve trapped herself here unconsciously. Hotaru: Maybe she wanted to forget all the bad things lingering in her memories. She said she'd thrown that life away. ------- Page 64 ------- Tetsu: So Adam was the source of all this bad stuff? Tetsu: Adam's ghost possessed Mizuki-san, implanted Sayaka-san's memories, and was going to take Eve to that world {after-life}? Masaki: Maybe. Tetsu: What do you mean, maybe... /Tetsu/ We got all the way here, don't just toss it out. Masaki: That really doesn't have to be the case. Tetsu: Masaki! Masaki: The source of all this bad stuff was the weakness of Eve's heart! Masaki: Eve isn't thinking of living by herself if she can... Masaki: We're running out of resources.. ------- Page 65 ------- Masaki: We can't help her. Sae: Even though... this story might be hard to believe... Sae: Please... Sae: Help Eve... Sae: Help Mizuki-san... ------------------- Page 66-67: no text ------------------- ------- Page 68 ------- Sae: I knew it... Sae: This is such an unbelievable story, after all... Tomoki: ...... Sae: But we even have evidence! I didn't bring it with me, but Sae: if you could only see what Eve's handwriting on the notebook... Tomoki: Um... Tomoki: Sae-chan... uh.. Tomoki: I understand what you're saying Tomoki: but to tell you the truth, being told that story so suddenly at a time like this.. my head's spinning. Sae: It's just that I told you at a time like this, huh... Sae: But, that's alright. I'm sorry for telling you such a strange story. Sae: Thanks for the tea. ------- Page 69 ------- Tomoki: It's nothing. And, even if what you said was true, I'm not much use to you. Tomoki: I don't have much credibility since I betrayed Mizuki. Tomoki: Didn't I tell you? Tomoki: I'm no use. Sae: I think you already did say it... Sae: If you don't have any credibility, why can't you gain it back! You're talking as if you don't have any confidence that you can save Mizuki! ------- Page 70 ------- /speaker/ Kayama Sae-sama /speaker/ Kayama Sae-sama, you have a phone call. /speaker/ Please come to the nurse's station. Sae: ...... Sae: Excuse me. /memory of Sae's words/ You're talking as if you don't have any confidence that you can save Mizuki! ------- Page 71 ------- {Note: I'm fairly sure I've said it before, but I call her "Eve" while she's in her coma, and "Mizuki" otherwise} /*************************************************/ /start flashback: Mizuki and Tomoki in high school/ /*************************************************/ Anzai-kun, use this. I have an extra umbrella, so. Tomoki: You're so nice, Mochizuki-san. *heart* I guess you must really like me, huh? Mizuki: Yup. *heart* Tomoki: ...... Mizuki: Just kidding. Mizuki: But I do like you because you're cheerful, Anzai-kun. Guy1: Ah, Mochizuki, huh. She's so pretty. *heart* Guy2: She has nice style. *heart* Guy3: She's like an older sister. *heart* Guy4: What's that! Guy5: Wonder if she'd do it... Tomoki: Quit that. Don't you guys disgrace my Mochizuki-san. Guy6: She's not really yours. Guy5: No way. She's mine. ------- Page 72 ------- Mizuki: Next Sunday? Mizuki: OK. I wanted to see that movie, too. Tomoki: That dress looks cute. Mizuki: Really? Tomoki: Think I should buy a ring or something? Mizuki: Ah, well, then. This thick one is nice, ne. (Guys who wear it are pretty cool.) Tomoki: Eh? Really? Mizuki: Eh? Are you kidding? Tomoki: No, I'm serious! I'm really serious! Guy1: No way. You guys are really going out together? Guy2: Since when? Girl1: Mochizuki-san's been taken in by Tomoki's poison... Guy3: Tomoki: It's really true! Mizuki: Why are you so smart? I only look it... Tomoki: I guess. Mizuki: No matter how hard I try, S High would never accept me. Tomoki: Well, then, I'll apply to Sasahara Girls High School with you. Mizuki: I wanted us to be in the same high school together... ------- Page 73 ------- Mizuki: I'd be happy to be with you always. Tomoki: Always. 24 hours. Forever. Mizuki: As long as you're beside me. Mizuki: And then I Mizuki: wouldn't need anything else. /*************/ /end flashback/ /*************/ ------- Page 74 ------- Tomoki: Mizuki...... LAST QUARTER ACT 13 . WISH Sae: Eve's gone? Sae: Yeah... Sae: I get the general gist. Sae: I see. Nothing's changing in here. Masaki: We were thinking about going out to look for Eve. Masaki: But since we can't see her, the three of us are going to out, relying on Shiraishi. Are you alright by yourself there? ------- Page 75 ------- Sae: Yeah... Sae: I'm alright, but when you say you're going to look for her, where are you going to go? Masaki: Eve was mourning over the fact that she couldn't go and be with Adam on the night that she got into that accident. Masaki: I wonder if she wasn't following on her desire to go to the place where Adam's waiting for her even now. Masaki: If so, then Eve went straight Masaki: to the actual scene of the accident, the intersection. Masaki: Besides that, we don't have the slightest idea, so if she's not there, then it's all over, but we're going to try anyway. Masaki: So I need to ask you a favor. ------- Page 76 ------- Masaki: We want to know exactly which intersection in Shibuya did Mizuki-san get into an accident. Could you ask somebody who's there right away? Masaki [phone]: I think it's pretty hard to ask with the situation right now, and we can just try looking around, but Masaki [phone]: the faster, the better. Sae: It's alright! Leave it to me! Sae: I'll call you right back so just head on to Shibuya! Sae: Yeah! OK, later! Aya: Tomoki...? ------- Page 77 ------- Tomoki: Don't come near me! /memory of Mizuki's words/ Aya really does like you. /memory of Mizuki's words/ She doesn't have to say anything for me to notice. /memory of Mizuki's words/ Take responsibility for it. /memory of Mizuki's words/ I'm getting off. ------- Page 78 ------- Tomoki: I'm sorry. Tomoki: I haven't been able to talk up front with you since t hen. Tomoki: I've always thought it was wrong. Tomoki: I'm not really apologizing, but... you... Aya: You don't have to apologize! I know I really don't mean anything to you! Aya: It's all because I was stupid and told Mizuki... Aya: If I hadn't told her, I would still be able to see her smiling at me... It really hurts... Tomoki: You're not stupid, Aya. Tomoki: You're just really honest. Tomoki: I betrayed Mizuki... Tomoki: Even though I betrayed her... I just always thought it would fade and become alright if I just apologized when she found out. ------- Page 79 ------- Tomoki: I never realized how awful it was until something like this happened. Tomoki: I'm the one who's stupid. Tomoki: It's not your fault. Sae: TOMOKI-SAN! Sae: Which Shibuya intersection did Mizuki-san get into an accident? Tomoki: Eh? Sae: Please tell me! It's an emergency! Aya: What in the world have you been up to since the other day! How could you ask something like that? Aya: You feel like offering flowers there now? Tomoki: Oi, Aya... Aya: But! These kids just came barging into our school the other day! Aya: And what do you think did they say? They said they wanted to offer their condolences! ------- Page 80 ------- Aya: Isn't that sick! Sae: I'm sorry... Sae: It's just that at the time... we thought Eve was a ghost... Aya: ......Huh? Aya: What are you talking about...? Aya: I wonder if there's something weird going on in this kid's head... Sae: I don't care if you think I'm weird! You don't have to belive me! Sae: Please... Sae: Please tell me where the intersection is. Tomoki: Meiji Road Aya: Tomoki... Tomoki: Next to Miyashita Park... Tomoki: Ah---- You might know the Shibuya Parking Lot better... ------- Page 81 ------- Sae: Thank you very much. Tomoki: Wait, Sae-chan! Is there something wrong? Tomoki: What did you mean it was an emergency! Sae: ......... I'm sorry. I don't have time to explain right now... Sae: If I don't call the others and tell them right away... Tomoki: Ah, I've got a phone, you need to use it? Sae: ...... Sae: Yeah! Thank you! Aya: .........What's going on? Tomoki: ...... ------- Page 82 ------- Tomoki: That kid doesn't look like there's something wrong with her head, does she? Aya: ...Yeah... Well... Aya: If you say so.. She seems alright, but... (I'm not much better myself) Sae: Ah, hello, Miura-kun? Sae: I know where it is! Masaki: Meiji Road.... Ah! The intersection right in front of Armani! Tetsu: Mr. Driver, did you hear that? Driver: Armani on Meiji Road, ne. Tetsu: Yes! Please hurry! Masaki: Thanks, Kayama. Masaki: That really helped. Sae [phone]: Miura-kun, could I talk to Hotaru-chan for a bit? ------- Page 83 ------- Masaki: Shiraishi Hotaru: Sae-chan... Sae [phone]: Hotaru-chan, when you see Eve, would you tell her something for me? Sae: That I want to hear her voice. That I want to see her face when she laughs and when she gets mad. Sae: And that I'm hoping she goes back to Mizuki-san's body. Sae: We've done everything she's requested 'til now Sae: so tell her that to listen to my request this once, too. Hotaru: Yeah... Sae-chan... Hotaru: I'll tell her... ------- Page 84 ------- Hotaru [phone]: I'll tell her that, definitely... /memory of Sae's words/ I don't care if you think I'm weird! /memory of Sae's words/ You don't have to believe me! /memory of Hotaru's words/ It's this ring. There's no mistake. /memory of Aya's words/ These kids just came barging into our school the other day! /memory of Sae's words/ I'm going to tell you something really strange now, /memory of Sae's words/ but will you please listen to me seriously? ------- Page 85 ------- /memory of Sae's words/ Please, help Eve /memory of Sae's words/ Help Mizuki-san Tomoki: Sae-chan Tomoki: If it's an emergency, wouldn't it be better if you want? Sae: ... Tomoki: If you go, then she can hear what you said herself. Tomoki: I'll grant your wish. ------- Page 86 ------- Tomoki: Shigeru! Aya: Tomoki... Tomoki: Lend me your bike keys. Shigeru: Eh? Ok, but... /Shigeru/ What's going on? Tomoki: If something happens, call me on my cell right away. Aya: Wait a minute! Where do you think you're going? Aya: I don't know what's going on, but you shouldn't be going at a time like this! Tomoki: I'm going because it _is_ a time like this! Aya: Tomoki! ------- Page 87 ------- Hotaru: Nee, Miura-kun. Hotaru: You said it earlier, ne. Hotaru: That no matter what we do... We can't help Eve as long as she doesn't want to live herself. Hotaru: I've always thought like that. Hotaru: But now... Hotaru: I want to believe.... that we have the power to move Eve's heart with our wishes. /memory of Hotaru's words/ But can we hold her back? /memory of Hotaru's words/ Are there any words of hope in this world that will be strong enough? Hotaru: I want to believe Hotaru: that our wishes Hotaru: will become Eve's hope for living. ------- Page 88 ------- That night, he was definitely standing there in that place. ------- Page 89 ------- Even if that was an illusion of this world I was the only one who could see him Adam's everything to me Why couldn't we go together that night?

Sae: I was headed over there with Tomoki-san. Sae: I told Tomoki-san everything. I'm sorry for doing this without telling you. But Tomoki-san believed me. He was helping Eve. Sae [phone]: Ne, Miura-kun! Are you right by Eve? Were you able to see her there? Sae [phone]: Ne, Miura-kun! -------- Page 104 -------- Sae: Hello? Sae: Miura-kun? Tomoki: Let me talk to him, Sae-chan. Tomoki [phone]: Hello? Masaki: Tomoki-san... Masaki: It's already too late... Masaki: Eve's disappeared... We don't know where she could be...

Tomoki: Mizuki's still alive. -------- Page 106 -------- Tomoki [phone]: Even in this situation, she's still stubbornly alive. Tomoki [phone]: Isn't that because you all have been desperately trying to save her! Tomoki [phone]: If everything you've said was true Tomoki [phone]: Mizuki will definitely come back. Tomoki: That's the kind of woman she is. Tomoki: She's a gentle, caring girl.

HEAVEN -------- Page 112 -------- It was a momentary event. I feel like I can still see the figures of Hotaru-chan and the others, their hands reaching out to me, in front of my eyes. /Tomoki/ Mizuki----------------! That's right. -------- Page 113 -------- That night, on the intersection, I felt Tomoki call out to me to stop and I turned around. It really was Tomoki. But at that time and place, was that really Tomoki? I wonder if there really is a chance that he was. That might have just been an illusion my heart was showing me. Whichever one it may be, I couldn't go with Adam that time. I wonder if it was because my heart couldn't go running straight to where Adam was. -------- Page 114 -------- It's just the same as that time. No matter how many times I've looked it over, there was anything that looked like an entrance. An endless boundary line. If this is the gates of heaven that Hotaru-chan and the others have been talking about, if I go to the other side, I'm supposed to be able to see Adam. Why can't I open this fence? Why is it in my way? What do I have to do to get on the other side? Tell me, Adam. Come here. Take me with you. Hurry, Adam, come here. -------- Page 115 -------- /memory of Hotaru's words/ That's just an illusion you're seeing! /memory of Hotaru's words/ Everyone'll be sad if you go to where Adam is. -------- Page 116 -------- /memory of Masaki's words/ We'll help you. /memory of Mizuki's stepmom's words/ Mizuki-chan! Where have you been all this time? Where are you going? /memory of Aya's words/ I'm sorry, Mizuki. /memory of Yuki's words/ I'm sorry. /memory of Hotaru's words/ You're not alone anymore! We're here for you! /memory of Tomoki calling out/ Mizuki--------! -------- Page 117 -------- No matter when it might have been, it's already done. -------- Page 118 -------- What am I being sad and crying for? I don't even know very well myself. I wanted to see Adam, that's all I was asking for, and when at last, I've made it here, I feel like I'm regretting coming all the way here. I'm sure my selfishness has hurt them. I can't hear the sound of the guitar anymore. I felt like I would never, in all eternity, be able to see Adam again. -------- Page 119 -------- If that was our fate decided for us by the fading moon two weeks ago, then the moon we saw that night won't ever be full again. Was it an act of fate that was blocking my way? I wonder if it's my own heart but -------- Page 120 -------- I wonder where the hospital where my body lies is. I'm really scared to open my eyes, but I turned around when I was just about to throw my life away, and I wasn't supposed to be that sorrowful. But how do I go back? -------- Page 121 -------- There's no entrance, but there's no exit, either. I don't know what's to the right, to the left, to the front, or to the back of me. Is this fence in front of me? Or is it behind me? Which side of the fence am I standing in now? On the other side? /memory of Hotaru's words/ Eve, it's Sae-chan! /memory of Hotaru's words/ She says she wants to hear your voice! She says she wants to see your face! -------- Page 122 -------- Hotaru-chan... /memory of Sae's words/ Well, then, we'll be back, Hotaru-chan, Eve! Wait, Sae-chan Tetsu-kun Masaki-kun Sae-chan It'd be great to tell everybody my thanks, but tell them for me instead, ne, Hotaru-chan. Tell them thanks many times. -------- Page 123 -------- /memory of Hotaru's words/ Please, Eve! Go back to Mizuki-san's body! I'm a fool. Even if there weren't any words, even though my voice wouldn't reach them, responding to their feelings would have been better than anything in the place of "thanks" -------- Page 124 -------- I have to respond. I have to find the exit. -------- Page 125 -------- There's still a fence on the opposite side. Where's the exit? -------- Page 126 -------- Why? No matter which way I run towards I'm stopped right away. For as far as I can see, this boundary line seems like a small circle. It's not supposed to be that way. It's not supposed to be that way. It's just the same as when I was in that empty house. When I try to go outside, I end up back inside. -------- Page 127 -------- This is the only world I have left. There is noone here. Nothing. There isn't even one thing that can wound me. This is an appropriate hell for me, who didn't value living. {Note: That second line wasn't an exact translation... the literal didn't make sense to me, so I adjusted it. If you have a better line, you can go ahead and send me a note. ^^} --------------------- Page 128-131: no text --------------------- -------- Page 132 -------- ADAM {Note: And if you don't have the book, it would be a real pity, cuz this was a really sad part... as she sees Adam looking at her from the other side of the fence, and she rushes up suddenly, reaching out} -------- Page 133 -------- Eve: ............Adam... -------- Page 134 -------- Eve: ADAM! Eve: Wait! Eve: Adam... Don't leave me by myself. I said I'd always be right by your side. I promised. Do you really hate me for not being able to fulfill it?

Are you going to show me the way to Hotaru-chan and the others? Is that what he said? Eve: ADAM... -------- Page 139 -------- {Note: But he's no longer there} Why do you know the place where I should go back to? -------- Page 140 -------- On the other side of this fence, I can look over everything. Does a place like that really exist? -------- Page 141 -------- /echo from Adam/ Goodbye, Mizuki. /echo from Adam/ I love you. ------------ Page 142-143 ------------ Why, God? Please send his soul to the most peaceful place in heaven. Don't let him be lonely. Don't forget his beloved guitar and cigarettes. I'll live this life to its fullest, and until the day this fence can open smoothly, until that moon becomes full again. -------- Page 144 -------- LAST QUARTER ACT 15 . OVER -------- Page 145 -------- Off [Sae]: Well, according to Mizuki-san's father's testimony, ne Off [Sae]: When Mizuki-san was a kid, there was a pretty strange episode in which she could play the piano at her house, even though nobody had ever taught her how. But with some discretion, she gradually lost her abilities until eventually, when she entered elementary school, they sold off the piano, but... Sae: Since Mizuki-san was in 2nd grade when she got that S.K ring, Mizuki-san might have some little connection or something with Kamijou Sayaka even before then. Sae: Moreover, that one-piece and shoes that Mizuki-san wanted Sae: It turns out that Tomoki-san bought it from a second-hand clothing store. I'm sure it must have been Sayaka-san's, ne. Sae: And did you guys notice this? Sae: They say that Mizuki-san got into an accident on March 16 and that's Adam's death anniversary! Off [Sae]: Sayaka-san died when she was about 17. Off [Sae]: Adam waited until Mizuki-san was the same age; he intended to appear before then and take her with him on his own death anniversary. But because Tomoki-san called out for her to stop, he wasn't able to. Off [Sae]: Then Eve escaped reality and shut herself away in that empty house, but Off [Sae]: because of the power of her love, she returned to her own splendid body! -------- Page 146 -------- Sae: That is to say, this last month and a half, I've been thinking it over thoroughly, and this is the answer I've come up with, what do you guys think? (Got something to say?) Mizuki&Tetsu&Masaki: ............ Tetsu: I really wasn't listening, Sae-chin. {Note: No, that wasn't misspelled} Tetsu: I've been skipping soccer too much, and I'm supposed to be a regular. Hotaru: Done. *heart* Hotaru: A flower crown. *heart* Masaki: Ah---ah. Such a boring scenario. Masaki: The original work was much more interesting. Tetsu: Ah. Is that the movie you're going to be in? Tetsu: What's your role like? Hotaru: Eh! Hotaru: You're going to be in a movie, Miura-kun? Masaki: .........I guess. Masaki: My old man's going to be the leading actor. The producer insisted I be in it, too. I'm not really interested, but... Masaki: Said I'm already guaranteed and I'll definitely get to skip school for the shoot Masaki: and it'd be great if I thought it over closely /Hotaru/ Wow, that's great. *heart* If you see Sana-chan, could you get her autograph for me? *heart* /Masaki/ No, I won't see her, because Sana-chan's from a different manga. /Tetsu/ Tell your contact I want to be in it, too. Sae: ......... {Note: Hotaru was referring to Sana-chan from Kodomo no Omocha, by Obana Miho} -------- Page 147 -------- Sae: Geez, Sae: You guys! Sae: Think with me for a minute here! Masaki: I thought it was going to be something when you said you had something important to say. Are you still fussing over that? Masaki: Got too much free time? Tetsu: That's enough, Sae-chin. Think we can't come up with an answer an answer if we don't think? () Hotaru: That's right, Sae-chan. Hotaru: Mizuki-san's already safe and awake, so it's alright already. Sae: That's not enou--------gh! Sae: But something doesn't make sense. If Mizuki-san's returned back to consciousness, you would think everything would become clear, but... Sae: Mizuki-san doesn't remember anything. Off [Sae]: She said... Off [Sae]: she didn't know who we were... -------- Page 148 -------- Off [Sae]: It sucks... One way or another, I expected that to happen. That day in the hospital, when Mizuki-san regained consciousness I wonder why we were there During that one month she slept there, did something inside her awaken She didn't remember a single thing Mizuki-san's memories since her 17th birthday 2 weeks before she got into an accident were all gone She fought and broke up with Tomoki-san She said she felt so lonely she wanted to die That night of the full moon -------- Page 149 -------- From within Mizuki-san Adam's presence and Sayaka-san's presence disappeared The ring disappeared from my finger Tetsu: We're just kids that Mizuki-san happened to help find a cat when she passed by us, huh... It does suck Sae: But we can't tell her what really happened. Mochizuki Mizuki finally regained her calm. Hotaru: Mizuki-san's getting out of the hospital on Sunday, let's all go get her a present. *heart* Masaki: I can't go. Masaki: I'm on an overseas location for a week starting Saturday. Hotaru: Eh! Wow! (Cool!) Sae: What do you mean, overseas location! You already think you're some famous actor? Masaki: .... Sae: Which is more important to you, Mizuki-san or the shoot? Masaki: The shoot-- Tetsu: I'm sorry, Sae-chin. I've got soccer practice for the meet coming up... Sae: You're not even a regular, right? Tetsu: Even fill-ins have to go... Hotaru: He can't help it, Sae-chan. Let's just the 2 of us go. I think Sae-chan's feeling really lonely. -------- Page 150 -------- It was as if the four of us working together and running around in order to help Eve was all a dream, and every day's just been passing us by I think it was a kind of loneliness that spoke of our abandoning the connection we made through our strange personal experience Mizuki: Wa-------i *heart* What beautiful flowers. Mizuki: Thank you very much. That warm June Sunday Mizuki-san left the hospital -------- Page 151 -------- She wore the same one-piece Eve wore /memory/ I'll give this to you. A symbol of our friendship. /memory/ You're not alone anymore. We're here for you. As if everything had been a dream the time that stopped is being washed away -------- Page 152 -------- She opened her eyes and for a little while, moping and heart plunging in grief, Mizuki-san regained her smile little by little Now, she's completely better This might be the last time we'll ever see Mizuki-san No matter how many times we visited her in the hospital we couldn't find a common topic, and as I stared at the corners, I'm sure that Mizuki-chan's impression of the 4 of us were just that we were little kids. But because Eve showed us Mochizuki Mizuki's smiling face if she could smile at us like then I think it was much better than our not finding something to say Yui: Those kids Yui: They were pretty weird, weren't they -------- Page 153 -------- Yui: They were desperately worrying over a person who just helped them find a cat. Yui: I think there's something they're not telling us Yui: Those kids Yui: might have been the ones who hit you Tomoki: Mizuki: What are you saying? Elementary students can't drive cars! Yui: So I'm sure they don't have a driver's license Mizuki: Yui! It's not nice being over-suspicious of other people like that! Yui: You trust people too much, oneechan. /Tomoki/ ahahaha wahahaha uhahaha /Mizuki/ What's do you think's so funny? Are you sick or something? /Yui/ They were really suspicious. They probably did it. Off [Sae]: June 7, Sunday, sunny Off [Sae]: "Mizuki-san left the hospital safely" -------- Page 154 -------- Sae: "The End" /Sae/ Thanks for reading. *heart* Hotaru: Ahaha Sae: She really Sae: doesn't know anything about us Sae: I guess we really can't do anything about it Sae: But Eve came back for us Sae: At least I can believe Sae: that we had the power to affect her somehow with our feelings Sae: You should have this notebook we kept on Eve, Hotaru-chan Hotaru: But this was yours to start with, Sae-chan Sae: Nah, that's alright. -------- Page 155 -------- Hotaru: Ah, well, how about copying it for everybody? /Hotaru/ I can do the copying Sae: Eh---? Are you dreaming? You want to copy these important memories? Sae: Come on. We have to keep this a secret in a place where nobody else would be able to see such an important treasure. Hotaru: Ah! Oh, yeah. How about we put it in an empty candy jar? Sae: Candy jar? Hotaru: The four of us can bury it somewhere! Sae: Bury it? Hotaru: Yeah Hotaru: I saw something like that on TV! We promise to dig up what we bury as kids when we grow up! Sae: Ah... Sae: A time capsule! Hotaru: Yeah, that! -------- Page 156 -------- Sae: But don't people usually do that as a promise of reunion when they graduate or somebody moves away or they all get seprated or something? Hotaru: Eh? Really? Sae: I really don't know, actually. Sae: The four of us are in an escalator-programmed school, so I'm sure we'll be stuck together until high school graduation. We'll have to see each other's faces even if we don't want to. So----------- boring. /float/ Everyday everyday everyday everyday Hotaru: ...... Sae: But sure, let's do it *heart* Hotaru: Yay! *heart* /Hotaru/ Let's do it *heart* Let's do it *heart* Sae: Well, then, let's get together after Miura-kun comes back from his "OVERSEAS LOCATION" and talk about where we'll bury it. 'Til then, you keep it, Hotaru-chan. Hotaru: Ok. *heart* Gotcha. Hotaru: By the way, I wonder where overseas Miura-kun went. (How nice... Overseas..) Sae: I don't know. He could have gone anywhere. It makes me sick how he almost completely forgot about Eve. Sae: Ah, sorry. You're on Miura-kun's side, ne, Hotaru-chan. Sae: It's okay. It's just natural. Boys over friendship! Hotaru: Actually, Sae-chan, I want to talk to you about that... Sae: Eh? Sae: What? Sae: You finally confessed to him? -------- Page 157 -------- Hotaru: No, that's not it. Actually, I like somebody else... Sae: Oh, I see.... Sae: Huh... Sae: EH!? Sae: What! What do you mean? Sae: You're telling me there's someone cooler than Miura-kun? (That's stupid....) Hotaru: Sae-chan... Hotaru: You really do like Miura-kun, ne. I'm really sorry about everything. -------- Page 158 -------- Sae: Wha... Why's that? What are you saying? I don't like that guy. Hotaru: Eh? Did I get it wrong? (But it seems Miura-kun's the coolest guy around right now) Sae: You got it wrong! Hotaru: Really? You always seemed to care... Sae: Huh? What, you don't like him any more because of me? That's silly thinking... Hotaru: No, that's not it Hotaru: I really do like somebody else! Sae: So who is it! Hotaru: ......It's a secret, ok? Sae: Just tell me! Hotaru: Sugisaki-kun Sae: You're kidding, right? What does he have that's better than Miura-kun? (He's a doctor's son?) Hotaru: Geez! Hotaru: You really do like Miura-kun don't you, Sae-chan? -------- Page 159 -------- Hotaru: Tadaima, Adam. *heart* Sumi: Ah, Hotaru-chan, okaeri------ *heart* I made hamburgers for dinner, so just eat up, okay? Hotaru: Ok. Thanks, Sumi-chan. Mom: Ara, okaeri, Hotaru. Hotaru: Tadaima, okaasan. Mom: Ne, Sumiyo, could you check if my Obi's turned? Sumi: Ah. Ara, Lulu, don't do that. Don't touch Mama's kimono. Hotaru: Geez, Sumi-chan, that's wrong. That's not Lulu, that's Adam! Sumi: But it looks just like Lulu! Sumi: I'm sure this one's Lulu's reincarnation. Hotaru: Reincarnation? -------- Page 160 -------- Sumi: Don't you know about the reincarnation cycle? {Note: the Buddhist belief} Even if a living being dies, the soul is forever imperishable and still is reborn into a new life. Sumi: And that cycle repeats over and over. /memory/ I wonder why. But I was born and I died as Kamijou Sayaka. Now I live as Mochizuki Mizuki. Mom: Come on, Sumiyo, don't feed Hotaru such strange stories Mom: One lifetime's enough. /Mom/ Come on, check it already. Sumi: Ah, but he wouldn't have been reincarnated so quickly. Sumi: So maybe, it's Lulu's love-child? Mom: Sumiyo /memory/ I'm sure Adam knew that. That's why he came to meet me. ----------------- Page 161: no text ----------------- -------- Page 162 -------- {Note: Shots of the notebook. First, Eve's note: "I want to see Adam..." Second, Hotaru's note for Eve saying they're going out to investigate and that they'll be back soon. Masaki notes that she should just sleep on. Third, Eve's drawings and descriptions of her family. Fourth, Sayaka's letter to Doujima-san.

Masato: By himself? /Masato/ What am I gonna do if he gets lost? Girl1: No need to worry. He can take perfect care of himself--- Girl2: He's always done as he wants all this time. /Guy1 [off]/ Ahaha. Don't say that. -------- Page 165 -------- Girl2: Seems like the director really likes Masaki-kun, doesn't he? Says he's gonna be a big-name actor someday. (Like father, like son, ne.) {note: The literal transliteration was: "A frog's offspring is a frog, ne?"} Masato: Nah------- I don't think he really has any interests in acting. But he was really interested in coming on location to England, strangely enough. I wonder what's up about England. Does he know somebody here? Masato: Na---- Do you know where my cigarettes and lighter are? (I left it right here~~~) Guy1: I'll go buy one. What do you want? Masato: Mine Guy1: They don't have those in England... {Note: As it turns out, Masaki's got it... and carries it to...} Masaki: Sorry you can't smoke it, but Masaki: it might carry a taste of Japan ---------- Page 166-7 ---------- {Note: ...Adam's grave} I think we're going to try opening our time capsule again when we all turn 17. -------- Page 168 -------- We might be able to feel something that we still can't identify now when we reopen that strange story once we've grown to be the same age Eve was then. ----------------- Page 169: no text ----------------- -------- Page 170 -------- Sae: Ok, then. Sae: If we bury it deep enough, nobody'll be able to find it, ne. LAST QUARTER ACT - . LAST QUARTER Tetsu: But what if they sell this house? What if lots of people walk all over it or what if they start doing construction work here? Masaki: Then we'll move it. Sae: Tetsu. You live near here, so you check up on here once in a while, ok? Sae: But really, they've been saying this was a haunted house for 20 years. I wonder if there'd still be somebody interested in buying this house. They say you'd be cursed if you start doing construction work here... by Adam. Hotaru: I'd want it if I had money, but... Tetsu: Masaki, you're in the world of show business, got lots of money, what if you buy it? Masaki: I don't really want it. -------- Page 171 -------- Tetsu: But if if somebody found us doing something like this in the middle of the night, they'd think we were burying something bad. Masaki: I'm sure they'll treat us like criminals. Sae: Ahaha Masaki: And then, if we change our wet clothes Masaki: and dig it back up... Masaki: Then leave a note about why we were supposed to bury it... Masaki: That's where Kamijou Sayaka's corpse is! /Sae/ Gya--------! No, stop it! /Masaki/ I was just messing around, stupid. /Tetsu/ You're really going to be cursed by Adam. Hotaru: Sae-chan, is it alright for you to sneak out of your house at this time of the night? Sae: I'm sure they're gonna kill me if they find out. I'm going to the other side of the fence? Masaki: That's why we shouldn't be burying anything at this time of the night. Tetsu: But hey. This was a secret ritual after all, isn't it an important situation? -------- Page 172 -------- Hotaru: Tonight Hotaru: is the last quarter, ne. -------- Page 173 -------- Hotaru: I think that somewhere, Adam's watching us. -------- Page 174 -------- I've always been watching you. -------- Page 175 -------- no, actually, I haven't taken my eyes off you since I noticed you because of my beloved girlfriend that you've named Eve. -------- Page 176 -------- you have no way of knowing how much you've struck my heart with your boldness and kindness or of knowing my gratitude -------- Page 177 -------- I have no way of telling you that I have neither arms nor voice to reach out to you this consciousness is wilfully floating above and we may stand on any place above ground, but in our world, where everything is restricted by a fence, we're nothing more than helpless bystanders there's no way to express how unbearable it is, for sure if it might be punishment for me to tell my life plainly, for having imposed, I think I'll do it now -------- Page 178 -------- 19 years ago, I, who followed after Sayaka, I decided, I'd never suffered such a great loss, I seriously didn't have any way of believing that I would ever see her again while I was tumbling down horridly, driven to the depths of loneliness, I waited earnestly for that time when I would become nothing but waiting there, sleepless, in that world that was like an arctic night without dawn controlled by the moon's gravity everything was decided in that phase -------- Page 179 -------- during that night of the full moon, Mizuki and I met it wasn't just a whim nor a trick of fate the 19-year cycle has precious meaning here the power that gave and the time that restricted my life there depended on how strong my will was -------- Page 180 -------- if people's lives exist forever then I wonder where and how Sayaka is and while I think about things like that I continue to wander about aimlessly not even able to say that I was able to meet Sayaka once more in those short 2 weeks but my voice calling out to her doesn't necessarily limit my ability to reach her heart people's hearts are strange things even if they're wrapped in happiness even if they're buried in sorrow either way, the soul is similarly filled and there's no room to enter -------- Page 181 -------- if I was able to draw her in with my song then somewhere I was opening up an unfillable hole that's not something somebody can save you from it's a darkness close to despair and even as I knew that, I continued to sing the darkness inside myself spread out -------- Page 182 -------- loving Mizuki, I don't know whether it was because she had taken in my dead lover's soul or whether I was captivated by her, herself without controlling the impulse of wanting to take her away along with the feeling of impatience for the weakening power of the waning moon -------- Page 183 -------- even if Mizuki gave up everything in her life if I had wanted I thought about how heavy a penalty it would be for her to carry on her shoulders I thought about how she would endure it but there was no future in that -------- Page 184 -------- Off [Yui]: Oneechan Mizuki: What's wrong, Yui? Why are you still awake? Mizuki: You really should knock on the door before going into other people's rooms, you know. I keep telling you that. Yui: ...But... I had a pretty scary dream. Can I sleep in your room? -------- Page 185 -------- Mizuki That last night in the intersection, because you stopped and turned around, you mourned my not being able to take you with me, but that was wrong. I lost to the strong power that held you back. -------- Page 186 -------- accepting me needing me your feelings your pain reached within my chest but you have a future in your lifetime from here on out i'll watch over you through whatever kind of trials may await you without averting my eyes -------- Page 187 -------- in this sleepless night, as the darkness advances on, look up at the sky and remember somehow that somewhere in this wide world there are always people who love you and people who need you because every person can't go on living alone -------- Page 188 -------- you don't need to worry about me lately, I've been singing in that little Live House in London brimming over with new melodies one after the other i'm having fun, there are lots of friends listening I wonder if someday there'll come a time when I'll sing for you again -------- Page 189 -------- like now, even if my voice can't reach to where you are I continue to sing while praying for your happiness. -------- Page 190 -------- Like the fading moon ruining the darkness paling with these lips I sing something I pray for something as I lose the sun that is you ---EVIL EYE--- Excerpt from "Last Quarter" Kagen no Tsuki [3] / End ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage: http://trans.i85.net/ Email: lilasia@hey.to Date: March 22, 2001
