Sakubou:  Kamino!!

Kamino: Since when am I one...
Kamino: to risk my life to protect others?

04

Kamino: Why am I acting all heroic now...
Kamino: when even my own clique wants nothing to do with me?

Kamino: I know people don't like me.
Kamino: I only made the clique because I had to.

Kamino: I hate looking after others.
Kamino: That's who I am.

Kamino: ...Is it really?

Kamino: Oh...right. Come to think of it...
Kamino: it was back then that I started lying to myself.
Kamino: Because of my sister.

05

SFX: Snap

Kamino: I, Kamino Subaru...
Kamino: am not my papa and mama's real child.
Photographer: I'll be taking one more!

Kamino: When I learned that...
Kamino: I thought it explained a lot.

06

Kamino: Papa and mama only loved my younger sister Hikari.
Kamino: Their actual, biological child.

Kamino: They were always so nice to her.
Kamino: When they were only ever strict with me.

Kamino: When I was attending cram school, Hikari was spending time with them.

Kamino: If not for her...
Kamino: maybe they would have loved me that way too.

Kamino: I thought she was a nuisance.

07

Hikari: Wait, Onee-chan!
Hikari(outside): You're too fast
Kamino: Ugh, what a pain.

Kamino: Why should I have to look after a kid I'm not even related to?

Kamino: What if I just left her behind?

Hikari: Ahh!?
SFX: Splat

Kamino: Ugh, really!?

08

Kamino: Bam

SFX: Splash splash

Hikari: Owwww!!
Kamino: Bear with it!

Kamino: There! But don't expect me to do that again.

Hikari: Ehhh?
Kamino: What?

Hikari: But you always carry around a bunch of bandages.
SFX: Twitch

Kamino: It's called being prepared!
Kamino: They aren't for you, okay?
SFX: Rumble rumble
Hikari: You're blushing.

09

SFX: Kiss

Hikari: I love you, Onee-chan!

Kamino: Now you've done it.

Kamino: It's my turn to suck out your cheek with a kiss!
Hikari: Kyahh♪

Hikari: Ah
SFX: Splat
Kamino: Hikari!

10

SFX: Rumble rumble
Kamino: Get up on your own!
Kamino(small): I told you
Hikari: Onee-chaaan!

SFX: Smile smile

SFX: Pft

Kamino: Honestly.
Kamino: Hikari was a natural at making people love her.
Kamino: A talent I lack.

Kamino: I knew she would be loved by everyone she came to know.
Kamino: And I would continue looking after her from her shadow.
Kamino: Part of me resented that.

Kamino: But more than that, I couldn't leave her alone.

Kamino: She was a handful, but I was her big sister.
Kamino: And I always would be...

11

12

Kamino: I think they said something about the driver being drunk or on drugs...
Kamino: but I don't really remember.

Kamino: Hikari?
Kamino: No...
SFX: Drag... Drag drag...
Kamino: Hikari!

Kamino: Stand up. Stand...

Kamino: It was just a bit more blood than usual.
Kamino: Surely she would raise her head and ask me to help her up.
Kamino: And I was her big sister...
Kamino: so I would take her hand and help her up with a sigh.
Kamino: I would wash off the wound and apply a bandage...

13

Kamino: So stiff...

Kamino: The box seemed too big for her.
Kamino: I later learned they used an adult one...
Kamino: so she could "grow into it".

Kamino: We filled the box with flowers...
Kamino: so she wouldn't be lonely.

Kamino: Hikari loves sunflowers.

Dad: I didn't know that.
Dad: She was always closest...
Dad: with you, Subaru.

Kamino: Yes.

14

Kamino: I know everything about her.
Kamino: Because I'm her big sister.

Kamino: You're afraid of the dark aren't you?
Kamino: But don't be scared because I'm with you.
Kamino: It'll be over soon, so bear with it for just a bit.

Kamino: I'm sorry I couldn't be with you.

Kamino: Um...

Dad: It's alright, Subaru.
Dad: Because we still have you.

15

Dad: We can always make another child.

Kamino: ...What?

Dad: But you're irreplaceable...
Dad: so I'm so glad...
Dad: you're safe.

16

Kamino: What...
Kamino: are you saying?

Kamino: I mean...
Kamino: I'm not your real...

Mom: A blood relation isn't what really matters.

Mom: You're special, Subaru.
Mom: We need to invest everything in you.

Mom: I'm so glad...it was Hikari.

Kamino: When I was attending cram school, Hikari was spending time with them...
SFX: Gasp

Dad: You are our hope.
SFX: Pat
Dad: So...

17

Dad: Think of this like a pet dying and forget all about it.

Kamino: What...are you...

Kamino: Hikari is not a pet!
Kamino: There's something wrong with you!!

Kamino: Aren't you sad...
Kamino: she died!?

Dad: You're the one that said you wanted a little sister.

Kamino: Eh?
Dad: So we gave you what you wanted.

Dad: That was a gift of our love...
Dad: for you and your superior genes.

18

Dad: Would you feel less lonely if we made you a new sister?

Kamino: No, thanks.

Kamino: I...wanted you to myself.
Kamino: I don't need a sister.

Kamino: So...
Kamino: don't bother.

Dad: Okay.
Dad: We can be a happy family of three.

19

Kamino: Hikari.
Kamino: Hikari...

Kamino: I wanted it all for myself.
Kamino: Including papa and mama's love.

Kamino: This was what I wanted...
Kamino: It happened...because of me...

Dad: Think of this like a pet dying.

Kamino: I don't want a new sister!!
Kamino: Hikari isn't a pet!!

20

Kamino: I thought she was a nuisance!!
Kamino: I sped up because I hated how she followed me around!!
Kamino: I was always mean to her because she annoyed me...
Kamino: but she still said she loved me!!

Kamino: Why did this have to happen!?
Kamino: Why didn't I just tell her I loved her!?

Kamino: I don't want a sister! I didn't want one!!
Kamino: I don't!! I don't!!

Kamino: Ahhhhhh...
