(NOTE: For some reason, the author uses slightly different lines in flashbacks. After thinking about it for a while, I've decided to just translate them as closely to the actual script, as opposed to trying to keep it consistent and changing the script arbitrarily.)

p187
>I will never betray you, Nozomi...
>You're my friend, after all.

>It's...
>over now...

>KA-CHAK

>Shion...
>No... way...

p188
>"It's over now..."
>Does that mean she can't be with me anymore...?

>No... no way...
>Now that I've fallen for you...

>The Shion in my memories was by my side...
>always with a smile on her face.
>Always...
>with that sad smile...

>That's right.
>Wherever I talked about my relationships...
>she would always put on that smile...
>Looking back on it...

p189
>she would always listen to me even when I talked about boys I liked or getting boyfriends―
>all because she wanted to stay as friends and maintain our relationship.
>Watching over me with that same sad smile...

>This color fits you so much better, so I'll give this lip gloss to you, Shion.
>Eh?

>I've already used some of it, but it should be fine, right?
-Use it when it's time to kiss
-come on, come on!
>Cut it out, Nozomi!
>It's fine! Just try it!

>...Yep. Looks good on you, Shion.

>T-Thank you.
>I'll cherish it.

p190
>It's not THAT special.
>Just use it normally!

>Ahh, I wish...

>from the bottom of my heart,

>that Nozomi would never notice these feelings...

>Kuh..
>Shion...!

>----...Have you
>always had...
>those feelings for me? (Goddamn, this was annoying to get right in context. Maybe someone can suggest something better. LIT: Always, always... what kind of feelings were you...!?)

p191
-Shion!

>I didn't want it to be awkward between us for my own convenience,

p192
>but I completely ignored Shion's feelings.

>I found comfort in her kindness...

>and I took it all for granted---...

>But still, Shion stayed friends with me.

p193
>I just had sex with her...
>to patch up my own wounds-

>Haa
>Hah
>I took advantage of her kindness and feelings for me...!

>I wonder how she felt when I yelled at her...
>In the end, you betrayed me too, Shion.
>after telling her that I wanted to forget about everything, and live with my own version of the truth?
>You traitor!
>I trampled...
>all over Shion's feelings---!!

p194
>Shion!

>Wait!

>SHIO-N!

p195
>Sorry...! I'm really sorry!
>I was unfair to you... I was cruel... I'm really sorry...!

>But please...
>Don't tell me that it's over...!!

>Stay with me...!
>I can't bear to lose you too...

>I don't need your apology. I don't want your pity.
>You don't need to worry about me anymore.

>That's because...
>we've already ended our friendship...

>...I see... Then...

p196
>Why don't we start a new relationship?
>As girlfriends...

p197
>...I don't need your-
>No!
>This has nothing to do with being friends with you or being both women! I just came to love you, Shion! That's all!

>What if...
>from that time, long ago...

>I've already met the person I treasured the most?
>That's you, Shion!
>I just so happened to fall in love with you...
>That's all the reason I need!

p198
>I...
>have loved you too! For all this time...!

>...Yeah.
>Shion...

p199
>Mmh...

>Shion...
>Nn
>W-Wait, Nozomi...

>I love you, Shion.
>I'll pay you back for last night, okay?
>Nozomi! I said wait...!

>Nozomi, please... listen to me...!
>We don't need to do this. Last night was...!

-Haah...
>Your boobs are so pretty, Shion...
>Nozomi...! I said listen...!

>Hm~? I AM listening, though~?
>Nozomi!
>Aaahn!

p200
>Aaahh... stop...
>Mm... Mmmh!
>Ahh, so cute... you also did this to me a lot, Shion...

>Ah!

>They're so stiff now.
>Are you feeling it?
>Ahh!

>Stop- Nozomi...!

>Oh, I get it~
>So, wanna stop?
>Eh?

>You were able to do all these things just to comfort me,
>but now you're saying you can't do it with me anymore~?

>N-No... That's not what I...!

>I was just thinking that maybe you're just forcing yourself to do this...
>...with me...!

p201
>Mmh...

>Hey... Shion? It's just normal to want to touch the person you love, right?
>Make sure that they feel good with your body, right?

>Aah...!

>Ah... aaah! Noooo! Nozomi...! Aaah!
>I feel the the same for you...
>Nnn!
>Aaaah...

>So... say it. Beg for more with those cute lips of yours...
>Shion, what do you want me to do...?
>Haah...Ah...!
>Aaah... Nozomi...!

p202
>Kiss me here too...!
>Please make love to me...!
>TWITCH
>TWITCH

>Fufu...
>I guess I have no choice...

>Haah...

>You're so cute, Shion...
>Nozomi...! Aaaahhh!
>Aah... Aaahh!

>Ah... wait... Nozomi...!
>I'm... scared...!

p203
>Nope, I'm not waiting...
>Aah!
>AAAAHHH!!!

>Haaah!
>AAAH!

>Haah... haah...
>It's strange... we also did this last night...
>But now, when I look at you, Shion... I feel so horny...

>Look, can you tell...?
>I'm also soaking wet down here...
>Nozomi...!

p204
>I want to give you all the love I wasn't able to all this time... I want to make you happy, Shion...
>so tell me... tell me everything you want me to do...

>Nozomi...!
>I'm so happy...

>Haah
>Haah
>AH!
>Nozomi... can I say... what I wanted to tell you all this time...?
>Nnh...!
>AAAHH!

>Yeah...! Tell me, Shion!
>AH!
>AAHN!

>AAAAHHH!!
>AAH!!

p205
>I love you... Nozomi...! (NOTE: She doesn't use "suki" here, but "aishiteru." Still thinking about how I can improve this line.)
>Please! Never let go of me again...!!

>AAAAHH!

>AAAHHH...!!
>AH!
>AAAAAHHH!!

p206
>Thinking back on it, my memories were always
>filled with your smiling face.
>You were...
>always there for me, with that lonely smile...

>But now, I don't think...
>I'll be seeing that smile anymore.

>That's fine by me.

>This time, let's make new memories together.

p207
>I want to make new memories...
>with my new girlfriend----
