- My hope - 1
- [Takamatsu castle]
- Tou: (At a young age, my mother told me that the blood inside me is that of a family working at Taisha.)
- Tou: (Although whether or not this is how it began... That I don't remember...)
- Tou: (But because of my liking towards Japan and its history, I begged my parents to visit various historical sites.)
- Tou: (Back then... I thought about it. Maybe I too...)
- Tou: (Maybe I have the power to serve Shinju-sama. And if so, what an honor it would be...)
- Tou: (My mother looked at me, displaying a joyful smile...)
- [Hospital]
- Tou: ...Where am I...?
- Tou: A ribbon...? It's not mine... Mom... Ah...!?
- Tou: My legs... won't move!
- Tou: (I was told that as a result of a terrible accident, I lost part of my memories along with the usage of my legs.)
- Tou: (I was in shock and despair, while mom took my hand and stroke my head countless times, she said-)
- Tou: (I could be proud of the way I lived those 2 years I forgot...)
- Tou: (That she was proud of me...)
- Tou: (But it did not make me feel better. And those abominable legs that turned to nothing but sticks...)
- Tou: (I kept punching them... Hoping for my memories to come back...)
- Tou: (I only lost 2 years of memories... and yet I felt like an empty puppet.)
- [Tougou's previous room]
- Tou: I am going to leave... the place I used to live in...
- Tou: Towards a place where I know no one... with this body... will I really be able to...
- Tou: (I prayed to Shinju-sama. To return either my legs or memories...)
- Tou: I will work my hardest! However harsh the rehab may be... Please, please...!
- Tou: (But... Those prayers never reached Shinju-sama...)
- My hope - 2
- [Tougou's new home]
- Tou: What a huge house... Is my family... really that rich...?
- Tou: (In hindsight, it was a reward from Taisha. For my lost body functions and memories... compensation.)
- Tou: (I would be lying if I said this huge house didn't make me happy. However, the distress that came bundled with this new life overshadowed it.)
- Tou: (It was then... that she appeared...)
- Yuu: Hello!
- Tou: ...!
- Yuu: Are you going to be living in this house here?
- Tou: (Carefree, with a cheerful smile. And before I knew it, she blinded me.)
- Yuu: So we'll be neighbors from now on. I'm Yuuki Yuuna. Nice to meet you!
- Tou: Tougou Mimori... Glad to... meet you.
- Yuu: Tougou-san. Wah, your name is so cool.
- Tou: Y-Yes... I'm... proud of it.
- Tou: (Why did I say such a thing...? Was it my true feelings... Or rather...)
- Yuu: Oh right, you don't know the neighborhood, do you? I'll show you around!
- Tou: E-Eh...!?
- Tou: Those sakuras... Are pretty...
- Yuu: You chose the perfect time to move, Tougou-san. But I'm glad that we're the same age, and going to the same middle school!
- Tou: Eh...
- Yuu: Let's go to school together when it starts!
- Tou: ...!
- Tou: (At this instant... the whirlpool of insecurities inside me was blown away all at once...)
- Tou: (Yuuna-chan's smile... became my hope...)
- Tou: Will you... stay with me...?
- Yuu: Yeah! We're already friends!
- Tou: Thank you...
- Tou: (Thank you... Yuuna-chan.)
