- >Mom...
- p12
- >She looked troubled...
- >Of course she would be.
- >What would you expect when your blood-related daughter confesses to you?
- >Not to mention forcing it on her like I did is pretty much a crime, isn't it...?

- >>Humans
- >>Boy
- >>Girls - Mom
- >I've never really given it much thought but
- >something like that, I guess...?
- >...I see...
- p17

- >About last night.
- >I'm really sorry.

- p18
- >I know very well.

- >I'm sorry.
- >The reason why this sadness won't stop...
- p21
- >I've known it all along.
- >No matter how much I chase after her, no matter how far I reach out to my hand.
- >The only thing I'll ever be to this person
- >is just a daughter and nothing more.
- p22
- >Wh-
- >Why?
- >Fweh
- >Why are you apologising?
- >Why!?
- >You haven't done anything wrong, Mom...
- >That's
