- Another Me
- 1.1
- [in some sort of train station lobby]
- Mifuyu: "The nameless AI has disappeared."
- "We must be more careful with the other rumors."
- Tsukuyo: "I beg you for your forgiveness!"
- Tsukasa: "Everything we've done has been worthless!"
- Mifuyu: "I thought you did well with the website, though."
- "I won't blame you for what happened."
- "In fact, I'm glad you've been working so hard."
- Tsukuyo: "But I wonder..."
- "Why are those people so fixated on rumors?"
- Tsukasa: "If they just left well enough alone, they would be eventually be freed."
- Tsukuyo: "Right?"
- Mifuyu: "Iroha, for one, is looking for her younger sister."
- "It seems she found a lead in the rumors."
- Tsukuyo: "Looking for her younger sister?"
- Mifuyu: "Yes."
- "Lately, she's become aware of the existence of a younger sister and she has been continually searching for her."
- Tsukuyo: "That... reminds me of us."
- Tsukasa: "Right?"
- Mifuyu: "Indeed, it does."
- "It does remind me of how the two of you used to be."
- Tsukasa: "How nostalgic, Tsukuyo-chan."
- Tsukuyo: "I agree, Tsukasa-chan."
- Tsukasa: "Yeah, we didn't know about each other."
- Tsukuyo: "Right?"
- Alina: "What, are we talking about the twins?"
- Tsukuyo: "A-Alina-san!"
- Alina: "I'm a bit curious, you see."
- "I don't know about your past or about your wishes."
- Tsukasa: "B-but we can't just tell you so easily..."
- Alina: "If you tell me, I'll let you off easy this time."
- Tsukasa: "Ueh... Tsukuyo-chan..."
- Tsukuyo: "Tsukasa-chan..."
- Alina: "All of a sudden, your flutes..."
- "Might become my favorite pigment..."
- Tsukuyo: "!?"
- "A-alright, we understand!"
- Tsukasa: "Nothing we can do, Tsukuyo-chan."
- Tsukuyo: "Yeah..."
- "Then, I will speak about my past."
- Tsukasa: "I'll tell my story too..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Before we tell you our wishes...*
- *We need to tell you about our circumstances...*
- 1.2
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo: *This happened quite a long time ago...*
- *At the time, I, "Amane Tsukuyo", was far busier than I am today. I was forced into clubs and practice.*
- [Insert image of Tsukuyo at koto club practice]
- Tsukuyo: "Well then, everyone, today's club activities are now over."
- "We have little time remaining to prepare for the cultural festival, but..."
- "In order to not shame Azusa-senpai's achievements, we must strive to earn the gold medal."
- everyone else: "Yes!"
- Tsukuyo: "Then everyone, clean up after yourselves and you will be free to go."
- [outside in front of the field]
- Tsukuyo: "sigh..."
- (After this, I have brushwork practice... And in the evening, I have to go to dance lessons...)
- (Even for me, this is too long without a break...)
- "But Akidzuki Tsukuyo will not succumb!"
- "A noble spirit must persevere!"
- "I'll take a short break, and then dive right back in."
- Mifuyu: "You seem to be having a tough time as usual."
- Tsukuyo: "Mifuyu-san!?"
- "Shouldn't you be off from school until graduation?"
- "I thought you were finished with the koto club..."
- Mifuyu: "I'm actually here for the handicraft club."
- "Their club president is in the hospital, apparently, so I'm standing in for the time being."
- Tsukuyo: "Seems tough."
- Mifuyu: "Hardly, when compared to you, Tsukuyo-san."
- "Were you concentrating on practice today?"
- Tsukuyo: "Yes, I was..."
- "And on top of that, I was asked by the calligraphy club for one work..."
- "And then I was called by the Japanese dance association... it's so hectic."
- Mifuyu: "It's tough being talented."
- "Why don't you turn them down from time to time? You've gotta take a break now and then."
- Tsukuyo: "But I appreciate the fact that they ask me."
- Mifuyu: "Just try not to overwork yourself and collapse or anything."
- "After all, your grandmother is very strict..."
- Tsukuyo: "Yeah, she would become angry even if I collapsed..."
- Mifuyu: "It must be tough being born in Mizuna..."
- Tsukuyo: "Isn't it the same for you?"
- Mifuyu: "Compared to the Akidzuki family, I have it easy."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *In order to not shame the history built by our ancestors, Mizuna Ward girls must undergo the appropriate education.*
- *In the Akidzuki family, we still honor cultural traditions that are generally considered outdated.*
- 1.3
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo: *Mizuna Ward girls must respect our history and our land by undergoing strict education.*
- *At the time, I was always forced to attend all sorts of practice, eating away at my mental and physical stamina.*
- [At Tsukuyo's home]
- Tsukuyo: "I have returned home."
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "Have you made progress?"
- Tsukuyo: "Yes, you can look forward to our next recital..."
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "Alright."
- "Then I'll be paying attention."
- "After all, you're none other than my granddaughter."
- Tsukuyo: "Yes..."
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "Well then, take the bags and bring them to the kitchen."
- "I'm going to test you on the dish I taught you yesterday."
- Tsukuyo: "Umm, grandmother..."
- "Would it be possible for me to take just a small break?"
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "Don't be so weak."
- "When I was your age, I'd never even think of asking that."
- "I *am* trying to go easy on you."
- "Come on, get ready."
- Tsukuyo: "Yes..."
- [at night]
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "Yep, you pass."
- Tsukuyo: "Thank you."
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "Then, we'll have this for dinner, and afterwards—"
- Tsukuyo's mother: "Mother... Isn't that enough?"
- "Tsukuyo's at her limit here..."
- Tsukuyo's grandmother: "It's not your place to butt in when you gave up halfway."
- "Tsukuyo's not going to be taken by some strange man, like you were."
- "I mustn't let that happen to her."
- Tsukuyo's mother: "..."
- Tsukuyo: "Mother, please don't worry about me."
- "I can still handle it..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Every day, constant practice...*
- *Always listening to other people, I would start to lose sight of myself.*
- [insert image of a flute in a cardboard box of toys]
- Tsukuyo: *When that would happen, I would always be saved by...*
- *A bamboo flute that my father gave me when I was young.*
- *My grandmother would get angry when she saw it, so normally I kept it hidden.*
- *But occasionally I would take it out and play. For me, that was my greatest source of comfort.*
- [battle]
- Tsukuyo: *Playing my father's bamboo flute brought me relief.*
- *I would play at a shrine some distance away from my house.*
- *I was named at that shrine, and the place where I found my sense of self.*
- *So when I've lost sight of myself, playing my flute at this shrine brings me back to my senses.*
- *It's almost like a ritual for myself.*
- "sigh..."
- "..."
- (The leaves are rustling in the wind...)
- (Making a soothing swishing sound...)
- (It's like rinsing off my heart...)
- "..."
- (Alright, let's rise up and go through the gate...)
- (And then once more, Akidzuki Tsukuyo will return to being herself...)
- "Alright!"
- [screen wipe]
- (I'm refreshed now!)
- [screen wipe again]
- [we see a girl who looks awfully similar, in a black and gray outfit...]
- [scene change to a traditional-looking street]
- Tsukuyo: "It's later than I thought..."
- "I must be prepared for a lecture..."
- "...?"
- [flashback to the girl in black and gray]
- Tsukuyo: "Huh?"
- "Earlier, did I... pass by myself?"
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *That was my first meeting with Tsukasa-chan...*
- *And the first impetus leading towards our wishes.*
- Tsukuyo (aloud): "She looked awfully similar to me."
- The Girl I Mustn't Meet
- 2.1
- [flashback showing the girl in black]
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *The person I passed at the shrine...*
- *I spent several days shivering in fear before realizing that she was Tsukasa-chan.*
- [insert image of Tsukuyo at koto club practice]
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- someone: "Akidzuki-senpai..."
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- someone: "Akidzuki-senpai!"
- Tsukuyo: "Ah, w-what is it!?"
- someone: "Um... You've stopped playing..."
- Tsukuyo: "T-that's, uhh, it seems I've made a mistake."
- someone: "What's wrong?"
- "You weren't like your usual self, in a daze like that..."
- Tsukuyo: "I apologize..."
- "And the cultural festival is coming up so soon..."
- "I mustn't let myself do this again..."
- someone: "Why don't you take a short break?"
- Tsukuyo: "No, you don't need to be concerned about me."
- someone: "We all know how busy you are, senpai..."
- "We can tell you're tired, so please take some time to rest..."
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- "I apologize... I'll take you up on your offer..."
- [outside by the field]
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- [imagining the girl in black clothes]
- Tsukuyo: (We looked practically identical...)
- (I'm sure... she is...)
- (My...)
- "...sniff..."
- "I"m scared..."
- Mifuyu: "What's wrong, Tsukuyo-san?"
- Tsukuyo: "Ah, Mifuyu-san..."
- Mifuyu: "Oh my, you're crying..."
- "Here, have a handkerchief."
- Tsukuyo: "Thank you..."
- Mifuyu: "So what's wrong?"
- Tsukuyo: (Can I tell her?)
- (Something so mysterious...)
- (Even if I told her, she wouldn't believe me.)
- 2.2
- [outside by the field]
- Mifuyu: "So what's wrong?"
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- "In truth, practice is tough..."
- "I won't be able to take much more than this..."
- Mifuyu: "...I told you not to push yourself too much."
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- Mifuyu: "That's right..."
- "Although we're not as close as being from the same family..."
- "Why don't I put in a word for you?"
- Tsukuyo: "T-that won't help!"
- "They'll just get angry at you, Mifuyu-san!"
- Mifuyu: "But we can't just leave things like this..."
- Tsukuyo: "Don't worry, I have it handled..."
- Mifuyu: "Really?"
- Tsukuyo: "Yes..."
- Mifuyu: "So..."
- Tsukuyo: "Yes?"
- Mifuyu: "What were you actually worried about?"
- Tsukuyo: "!?"
- "How did you know!?"
- Mifuyu: "I just knew it."
- "I do know you well from being the koto club president, you know."
- Tsukuyo: "You certainly are formidable..."
- Mifuyu: "If it's hard to say, you don't have to tell me."
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- "Actually..."
- [screen wipe]
- Mifuyu: "So you saw yourself at the shrine..."
- Tsukuyo: "Yes..."
- Mifuyu: "That's certainly mysterious, but is it really that scary?"
- Tsukuyo: "But it's... basically..."
- Mifuyu: "Basically?"
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Shadow sickness...*
- *Basically, a doppelgänger!*
- [back to the field]
- Tsukuyo: "They say that if you meet your doppelgänger, you die."
- "It happened on TV a while back!"
- "So it's bad if you meet someone who looks just like you."
- "That's what my grandmother tells me!"
- Mifuyu: "..."
- Tsukuyo: "sniff... Mifuyu-san..."
- "This might be... our last goodbye..."
- Mifuyu: "Heh, hehehe..."
- Tsukuyo: "W-what do you find so funny!?"
- Mifuyu: "Don't worry about that, Tsukuyo-san, that's just superstition."
- Tsukuyo: "No way, I might die!"
- Mifuyu: "Then why don't you make sure?"
- Tsukuyo: "Huh?"
- Mifuyu: "Go to the shrine once more and take another look."
- "If you die just from seeing her once, then going again can't hurt, can it?"
- Tsukuyo: "That's reckless!"
- Mifuyu: "Don't worry about it."
- "Once you meet her, I'm sure it'll turn out to be nothing."
- Tsukuyo: "Do you really think so?"
- Mifuyu: "I'm sure."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *So, still afraid from my first meeting with Tsukasa-chan...*
- *I decided to once more go to the shrine.*
- 2.3
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo: *Mifuyu-san told me to go back to the shrine once more, but I was still fighting my fear...*
- [at the shrine, with the wind blowing]
- Tsukuyo: "Ueh..."
- (I ended up coming...)
- (If it's really a doppelgänger, what should I do...)
- [fade to black, with Tsukuyo visible]
- Tsukuyo: *I'm afraid of opening my eyes, so I'll do it slowly...*
- *...*
- [she bumps into someone]
- [back to the shrine, with both Tsukuyo and the girl in black]
- Tsukuyo: "Ah, I'm sorry..."
- ???: "..."
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- both: "It appeared!!!"
- both: "I'm so sorry!"
- both: "Please don't kill me!"
- both: "We're saying the same things and moving the same..."
- both: "I knew it, it's the doppelgänger!!!"
- both: "sob sob sob"
- Tsukuyo: (Now that it's come to it, I must steel my resolve...)
- ???: "Hey, are you also... Amane Tsukasa?"
- Tsukuyo: "Huh?"
- (Our names are different...)
- "..."
- "My name is Akidzuki Tsukuyo..."
- [wipe screen]
- Tsukuyo: "To think that not just our appearances but our names are so similar, it's marvelous!"
- Tsukasa: "That's right!"
- Tsukuyo: "Amane-san, why do you come here?"
- Tsukasa: "I come here often when I'm tired."
- Tsukuyo: "The same is true with me!"
- Tsukasa: "Really!?"
- "Strange things happen in the shrine at night, huh."
- Tsukuyo: "Actually, I was named at this shrine."
- Tsukasa: "Huh? I was also named here!"
- Tsukuyo: "Are you serious!?"
- "..."
- (To think we were this similar...)
- (She's definitely my doppelgänger...)
- "U-um..."
- (I mustn't...)
- (I'm so scared my heart is going to leap out of my chest...)
- Tsukasa: "Y-yeah..."
- Tsukuyo: "What did you come here to do..."
- Tsukasa: "Should we say it on three?"
- Tsukuyo: "Sure..."
- "Three, two, one..."
- both: "To play flute!"
- both: "!?"
- Tsukuyo: (I knew it, she's my doppelgänger!)
- (I-I've gotta get away...)
- (Yes, I need to distract her...)
- both: "Aah, there's a demon over there!"
- Tsukuyo: (Now run away!)
- [they bump into each other]
- both: "Owwww... my forehead..."
- Tsukuyo: "Ah, I dropped my flute..."
- Tsukasa: "Huh? That flute..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *At that time, we realized it.*
- *The flutes that we dropped were the same, but there was a slight difference...*
- [insert image of Tsukuyo's flute in the box]
- *That was the half-moon shape inscribed in the flute.*
- *Tsukasa-chan's and mine had the moons facing opposite directions.*
- *The inscription on both flutes was the same. Basically, both of them were my father's, we found when we held them side by side.*
- *Then, what we had only suspected became conviction.*
- [back to the shrine]
- Tsukuyo: "A full moon..."
- Tsukasa: "You are Tsukuyo..." [月夜, the first character is moon]
- Tsukuyo: "And you are Tsukasa..." [月咲, the first character is moon]
- Tsukasa: "Two moons..."
- Tsukuyo: "No way... Are we... twins?"
- [battle]
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo: *After that, I learned from Tsukasa-chan that my father is a craftsman who runs the Amane Bamboo Workshop...*
- *And that I was once named Amane as well.*
- *After we learned a bit about each other, it was like a dam had burst, and we began talking about ourselves.*
- [back to the shrine]
- Tsukuyo: "I really cannot believe it!"
- "She enrolled me in practice on the weekends without consulting me!"
- "Of course, she cares about me being a proper Mizuna lady."
- "I've been raised this way my whole life, so I do understand."
- "But does that mean I should go so far as sacrificing my individuality!?"
- "All she ever says is Mizuna Mizuna Mizuna and I'm sick and tired of it!"
- Tsukasa: "Yeah!"
- Tsukuyo: "As a result I have no time of my own."
- "Everyone around me respects me..."
- "But nobody wants to be friends with me!"
- "Do you understand the loneliness I feel!?"
- Tsukasa: "Yeah, yeah, I totally get it!"
- "I'm surprised that we're similar in even this way, right?"
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Maybe it was our busy circumstances, or the fact that we were twins, but we didn't understand the reason.*
- *But Tsukasa-chan was the first person who I could speak my true thoughts to without hesitation.*
- [back to the shrine]
- Tsukuyo: "Amane-san..."
- "Someday could we meet up again to talk?"
- Tsukasa: "You don't need to speak so formally to me."
- Tsukuyo: "Huh?"
- Tsukasa: "Right, Tsukuyo-chan?"
- Tsukuyo: "Ah..."
- "Yes, Tsukasa-chan!"
- [switch to overlooking view of the nighttime skyline]
- Tsukuyo: *Like this, we exchanged our contact information, and planned to meet again.*
- *Realizing that our parents had hidden this from us, we used pseudonyms to record each other's information.*
- *Like the flutes, together as one...*
- *I recorded her with the symbol of a full moon, "○".*
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *However, this honeymoon period wasn't to last long.*
- Tsukuyo (aloud): "So there was meaning after all, in the flute I received from Father."
- And Then We'll Be New Again
- 3.1
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo: *Tsukasa-chan and I contacted each other, working out times for us to meet.*
- *We'd vent our complaints and dissatisfactions to each other at the shrine, just like the first time we met.*
- *That was a happy moment in which we could understand each other.*
- *However, the more we were together...*
- *The more we saw different sides of each other.*
- [at a restaurant]
- Tsukuyo: "This is the first time I have ever eaten a hamburger..."
- Tsukasa: "No way, really!?"
- "So you pick it up like this, and just take a big bite."
- Tsukuyo: "Seeing it in real life, it's awfully... wild..."
- "And what about these fries?"
- Tsukasa: "Just use your bare hands."
- Tsukuyo: "Isn't that unclean!?"
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *I couldn't help but see Tsukasa-chan crossing her legs and eating food with her bare hands as improper...*
- [on the street in a shopping district]
- Tsukasa: "Ah, let's go into that used clothing shop."
- Tsukuyo: "Umm... You mean you buy clothing that people have worn?"
- Tsukasa: "They're all cleaned thoroughly, so you don't have to worry."
- Tsukuyo: (So that time she wore casual clothes when we met, those were someone else's clothes...)
- "..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: "I felt that her wearing of used clothes meant she didn't care about her appearance...*
- [in the train station]
- girl: "Ah, it's Tsukasa!"
- Tsukasa: "Oh, I don't usually see you around here."
- girl: "Huh? Who's that? Might you be twins!?"
- Tsukasa: "No way that could be!"
- [she lightly hits the girl]
- girl: "Ow!"
- Tsukuyo: "Hey, Tsukasa-chan... I don't think you should hit people..."
- Tsukasa: "We're close enough that we can do that, though."
- [fade to black]
- Tsukuyo: *Seeing Tsukasa play roughly with people, I came to see her as a coarse person...*
- [view of an old-fashioned yet modern-looking street]
- Tsukuyo: "The more we met, the less Tsukasa-chan and my views met..."
- "In hindsight, I, who had been sheltered all my life, was simply ignorant of society."
- "But at the time, my friendship with Tsukasa-chan, the only person I could open my heart to, slowly deteriorated."
- "And together with that, my complaints grew more and more numerous."
- [at home]
- Tsukuyo: "Mother..."
- Tsukuyo's mother: "What's wrong, Tsukuyo?"
- Tsukuyo: "Why did you split with Father?"
- Tsukuyo's mother: "!?"
- "Asking me that all of a sudden..."
- Tsukuyo: "I happened to learn that the flute from Father is from the Artisan Ward..."
- Tsukuyo's mother: "..."
- "We couldn't bury our differences."
- "It was just a fantasy that love can overcome any difference in status and upbringing..."
- Tsukuyo: "Fantasy?"
- Tsukuyo's mother: "That's right..."
- "So make sure to pick friends and lovers who are well-matched with you."
- "Once your feelings are hurt, you won't be able to mend them again..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *My dissatisfaction with Tsukasa grew, and in my uncertainty I asked about my mother and father...*
- *The answer pierced through me sharply, remaining behind like a curse...*
- 3.2
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo's mother: "It was fantasy that love can overcome any difference in status and upbringing..."
- "So make sure to pick friends and lovers who are well-matched with you."
- "Once your feelings are hurt, you won't be able to mend them again..."
- [fade to black]
- Tsukuyo: *At the time, my feelings had already been hurt...*
- *We couldn't understand one another...*
- *In the end, we were too different...*
- [fade in a scene at the base of the radio tower in the evening]
- Tsukuyo: *That feeling came swelling up, when...*
- [a silhouette of a boy and girl show up]
- [a silhouette of a man and woman show up]
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Gradually, I got the feeling that people were giving us strange looks, since we look so similar yet are such polar opposites.*
- *And then...*
- [back to the base of the radio tower]
- Tsukasa: "Hey, Tsukuyo-chan, I have something I want to ask you."
- Tsukuyo: "I also have something I would like to ask you too, Tsukasa-chan."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *And that started us off talking about our dissatisfaction with each other...*
- [back to the street]
- Tsukasa: "You've been giving me a strange look."
- Tsukuyo: "And you've been awfully mean, Tsukasa-chan."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Tsukasa-chan said she was fed up with how polite I was.*
- *She thought I was too concerned with appearance, and simply used her as a foil to improve others opinions of me.*
- *Once our true thoughts were known, we tirelessly exchanged criticism...*
- *Our argument had already devolved into incoherence...*
- [back to the street]
- Tsukasa: "You're always so prim and proper and concerned with formality!"
- "Why don't you take a chill pill and relax once in a while!?"
- "It's stifling being around you!"
- Tsukuyo: "What you consider relaxed is no more than vulgarity!"
- "I've never asked for you to pay for any of this!"
- "At the very least, you could stand to reform your manners!"
- Tsukasa: "Reform!?"
- "If anything, your isolated lifestyle is farther from normal, Tsukuyo-chan."
- "Your behavior is the one that's more different from a normal girl!"
- "If you're so formal all the time, of course you'll have no friends!"
- Tsukuyo: "You say you have friends, Tsukasa-chan..."
- "But they're only friends on the surface, you can't even tell them your true feelings!"
- Tsukasa: "Obviously, because there's no way they could understand what I've been going through!"
- Tsukuyo: "Then you should understand that I feel exactly the same way!"
- "I have my grandmother to deal with!"
- Tsukasa: "And I have my father and all the apprentices!"
- Tsukuyo: "pant... pant..."
- Tsukasa: "pant... pant..."
- Tsukuyo: "I don't want to see you anymore, Tsukasa-chan..."
- Tsukasa: "I've had enough too..."
- Tsukuyo: "In the end..."
- Tsukasa: "We're probably not actually twins after all..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: "And thus, our brief honeymoon period ended abruptly."
- [her mother appears]
- Tsukuyo's mother: "It was fantasy that love can overcome any difference in status and upbringing..."
- Tsukuyo: *It was just as Mother said..."
- 3.3
- [gray screen]
- Tsukuyo: *For a while, I really did not meet with Tsukasa-chan...*
- [at the field]
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- Mifuyu: "Tsu-ku-yo-san!"
- Tsukuyo: "Mifuyu-san..."
- "You're still coming to school?"
- Mifuyu: "The club president has recovered, so today is the last time."
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- "I'm sorry, we were only able to get the silver medal at the cultural art festival..."
- Mifuyu: "That's fine, but more importantly, how are you doing?"
- "You were looking better for a time, but..."
- "Now you're back to that serious face..."
- Tsukuyo: "Please don't worry about me."
- Mifuyu: "Ah... Am I being too nosy?"
- Tsukuyo: "No..."
- "I'm glad that you're concerned about me..."
- "But I'll be going now."
- Mifuyu: "Tsukuyo-san..."
- [on the road outside their school]
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- (I guess I'll skip practice, play my flute, and go home...)
- "If I don't... I won't... be able to take it anymore..."
- (But if I go to the shrine, I might run into Tsukasa-chan...)
- (...I should go somewhere else.)
- [at the riverbank]
- Tsukuyo: "~~♪~~♪"
- "♪~~♪~~"
- "..."
- "Why... Why..."
- "sniff..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *Even though I was playing my flute, my heart would not be soothed.*
- "But it wasn't because I wasn't at the shrine.*
- [back to the riverbank]
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- "I want to talk with Tsukasa-chan..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *My heart was still seeking out the only person who I'd ever found to understand me.*
- *But we were only happy when voicing our gripes to each other.
- *Once we found aspects of the other we didn't like, those grew more and more noticeable.*
- *That's why I couldn't contact Tsukasa-chan anymore.*
- *But for better or for worse, a message from my grandmother was the spark that made me make a wish...*
- [back to the riverbank]
- Tsukuyo: "Huh, a message... No way... Tsukasa-chan!?"
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo's grandmother's message: "Tsukuyo, why are you taking a break without permission? I was a fool to think that you wouldn't soil the Akidzuki family name. I've asked your instructors for twice as much additional practice as the break you've taken. I will pick you up shortly, so do not move on your own."
- [back to the riverbank]
- Tsukuyo: "!!"
- "Don't screw with me! To hell with the Akidzuki family!"
- "To begin with, I am an Amane!"
- "I'm not your doll, Grandmother!"
- "Nor am I some sacrifice to prop up the Akidzuki family!"
- "I am me!"
- "sniff..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *And this is where I lost consciousness.*
- *The blood went to my head, I was crying, and I grew dizzy.*
- *The last thing I heard was Mifuyu-san's voice yelling "Tsukuyo-san!"...*
- [battle]
- [in the hospital]
- Tsukuyo: "Huh? This is... the hospital..."
- [screen wipe]
- Tsukasa: "..."
- [screen wipe]
- Tsukuyo: "Huh? Tsukasa...chan?"
- Mifuyu: "Ah, you're awake."
- Tsukuyo: "Mifuyu-san, what happened to me?"
- Mifuyu: "The doctors said the cause was probably stress..."
- Tsukuyo: "Is that... so..."
- "..."
- Mifuyu: "Your so-called doppelgänger..."
- "Is actually your younger twin sister..."
- "To think that two twins would collapse at the same time..."
- Tsukuyo: "That's just a misunderstanding..."
- "We just have similar names and appearances..."
- Mifuyu: "No, you're really twins."
- Tsukuyo: "How do you know that?"
- Mifuyu: "Just before, the pediatrician said he remembers you two..."
- Tsukuyo: "The doctor?"
- Mifuyu: "Yeah..."
- "The first childbirth he was in charge of was you two."
- [fade to gray]
- Mifuyu: *Apparently, when you were first born, you held each other's hands, and that left a big impression on the doctor...*
- [back to the hospital]
- Mifuyu: "And I heard that your surname changed from another doctor."
- "They seemed worried..."
- Tsukuyo: "Is that... so..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *When I was first born... I held Tsukasa-chan's hand...*
- [back to the hospital]
- Tsukuyo: (I accepted Tsukasa-chan... from the moment I was born...)
- (But now...)
- (I got angry at such trivial things...)
- (I need to discard everything in my way.)
- (Return to a fresh start, and redo it all...)
- Mifuyu: "...I have a call to make, okay?"
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- Tsukasa: "Tsukuyo-chan..."
- Tsukuyo: "Tsukasa-chan..."
- Tsukasa: "I think I heard..."
- "We're actually... twins..."
- Tsukuyo: "Yeah..."
- Tsukasa: "Hey, Tsukuyo-chan, why don't we just throw everything away..."
- Tsukuyo: "Huh?"
- Tsukasa: "Our status and our upbringing, get rid of it all."
- "Start with a blank page, and once more, support each other..."
- "If we don't, then we'll both be crushed by adults..."
- Tsukuyo: "Yeah... I was thinking the same thing."
- "Start over from before we received our names at the shrine..."
- "From the moment we were born, brand new, when we held each other's hands."
- "I want to start over again."
- (I've talked with her more than anyone else, and right now my heart is at peace...)
- (It must be because she's my only twin in the whole world...)
- Tsukasa: "Then, once more, will you be my big sister?"
- Tsukuyo: "Yes..."
- "Will you once more become my little sister?"
- Tsukasa: "Yeah..."
- [fade to gray, and her mother]
- Tsukuyo's mother: "It was fantasy that love can overcome any difference in status and upbringing..."
- [back to the hospital]
- Tsukuyo: "But, no matter what we pledge..."
- "We might come to a point in time where we hate each other again..."
- "I don't think my heart..."
- Tsukasa: "Could take it anymore..."
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *And when my mother's words began to coil around inside me, it appeared.*
- [back to hospital]
- Kyubey: "Then why not have your pledge granted as a wish?"
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo: *So the two of us wished: "I want us to never hate each other."*
- [back to the train station lobby]
- Tsukuyo: "And that's the details of up until we made our wishes."
- Tsukasa: "Thinking back makes me feel nostalgic."
- Tsukuyo: "Right?"
- Mifuyu: "Really, I was quite surprised when I came back..."
- Alina: "Hmmmm. So that's what happened."
- "...I'm leaving."
- Tsukuyo: "You didn't like it!?"
- Tsukasa: "Forgive us for letting the rumor get beaten!"
- Alina: "I'm not going to do anything to you."
- "It's just that hearing your story made me want to make some artwork."
- "See you."
- Tsukasa: "sigh... Thank goodness..."
- Tsukuyo: "That's right..."
- Mifuyu: "Well then, why don't we leave then?"
- Tsukasa: "Alright."
- Tsukuyo: "Ah, Tsukasa-chan."
- Tsukasa: "What?"
- Tsukuyo: "It's been a while, so why don't we go play flute at the shrine on our way back?"
- Tsukasa: "Ah, great idea! Let's do it!"
- Tsukuyo: "..."
- [insert image of Tsukuyo's flute in a cardboard box]
- Tsukuyo: *Extremely haunting and lovely, it's been that way ever since I found you.*
- *When I play, my heart grows warm, and the sound dances upon the wind.*
- *O sound, where are you headed?*
- *To my unseen younger sister.*
- [fade to gray]
- Tsukuyo (aloud): "Our only allies are each other. Tsukasa-chan and I are always together."
