- p06
- >Isumi-san...
- >Do you mind if we talk in private?
- -Phew...
- >...I see.
- >So this all started with you and your sister.
- p07
- -So Maki's role in all of this
- >was over as soon as Isumi was done using her.
- >...
- -I can't just let her stay in Maki's apartment,
- -but her issue's still unresolved.
- -It's too late to send her home on her own, too...
- >Haah...
- p08
- >Stay at my place for tonight.
- >Use that time to sort out your feelings.
- >I'll let your sister know, too.
- PHONE:SEEN | Can I come to your apartment later?
- SENT | Isumi-san's staying over at my place tonight, so don't worry.
- SENT | Good night.
- -I'm sure Maki...
- -would've done the same thing.
- >I'm sorry.
- >I'm not the one who you should be apologizing to.
- p09
- -CLACK
- -I...
- -changed myself for Maki's sake.
- p10
- -But...
- -did I become strong enough
- -to save Maki from herself?
- -Am I really doing this for her?
- -Does she even need me?
- p11
- -Of course she does.
- -Maki's in agony.
- -She's been hurt.
- -I can't bear to see her like that.
- -I...
- -want to help her, right?
- -I shouldn't get distracted.
- p12
- >It looks like
- >I'm still too weak.
- >You can leave the house unlocked.
- >Okay.
- p13
- >I got
- >the gist of your problem,
- >but why did you tell me about it?
- >Did you think I'd be able to help you?
- >No.
- >This is about Oosawa-sensei.
- p14
- >I finally
- >understand her.
- -I understand Make painfully well.
- -And I'm sure you're the same too.
- -Just like that girl.
- p15
- >I already know
- >that Oosawa-sensei needs you.
- -And that's why
- -I'm really frustrated.
- >I see.
- -She was all worried about you,
- -even though she can't even take care of herself.
- >Maki's just stubborn like that.
- -That's why she always gets hurt...
- p16
- -I'll never forgive you.
- >...
- -But...
- >Haah...
- p17
- >Isumi-san.
- -...DONG
- -DING DONG
- -TOUCH
- p18
- -KA-CHAK
- >Maki...
- >You know,
- >I really hate selfish people.
- >Always have.
- p19
- >But after being with her, I realized
- >that even though she stuck to me like a thorn,
- >I actually didn't mind her selfishness.
- >Of course, I still think that it's bad to cause trouble for others,
- >but thanks to her,
- >I started to become more honest with myself.
- >And now, I've finally found it.
- p20
- >If I could help her in any way,
- >I can do anything.
- >That's the "righteousness" I've been looking for.
- >...
- >Up until now, I thought doing the right thing was some kind of duty.
- >Something that's thrust upon those with power.
- >Something to keep as a front.
- >But it's better to be a little selfish.
- p21
- >A little bit more honest.
- >Doing the things you want to do
- >really takes a load off your shoulders.
- >...Yeah.
- >Still...
- >I wonder why.
- >I wonder why it hurts this much.
- p22
- >Isumi-san's a bit unstable right now.
- >She needs guidance.
- >We went on dates, we kissed...
- >I knew it was unnecessary, but she made me feel liberated.
- -GRAB
- >I did what I thought was right,
- >all for her sake... So why?
- >Why does it hurt so much?
- >Did I go wrong somewhere?
- p23
- >Please...
- >Tell me.
- >Aren't you
- >supposed to be on my side, Chie?
- >Of course I am.
- p24
- >Everything you've done was the right thing to do.
- >I mean,
- >that's what saved me a long time ago.
- >The same goes for Isumi-san.
- >You worried about her,
- >and still got closer to her even as it hurt you.
- >Thanks to that, she finally has her answer.
- >Tell me, what's wrong about that?
- p25
- >What's suffocating you
- >are your lofty ideals, Maki.
- >You're way too sincere.
- >You take responsibility for everything that even remotely involves you.
- >You feel that it's your duty to help,
- >even if you'll end up getting hurt by doing so.
- >You carry everything on your shoulders.
- >And that just makes things harder for you.
- p26
- >So Maki,
- >I want you to share your burden with me.
- >Just like how you changed yourself for her sake,
- >I changed myself for yours.
- p27
- >...
- >Let's...
- >go to school together.
- p28
- >Yuki's gone, too...
- -BRRRR BRRRR
- PHONE: Come to Symphonyland's north gate at 5:30 today.
- I'll be going there from Yuki-chan's house.
- >...
- p29
- >C'mon.
- >You should get going.
- >You don't want to be late for your date.
- >Thank you...
- >Yuki-chan.
- >Don't worry about the clothes!
- >I'm doing this because I want to.
- >Because of what you've done for me
- >I finally know how to treasure my sister.
- p30
- >Thank you for making me realize that,
- >Yuki-chan.
- >I'll make sure we'll be happy
- >for your sake too, Yuki-chan.
- >Off you go, then!
