Track 16

pg 128
---

Shuichi: ... Yuki ... [Married to Ayaka-chan!?]

pg 129
---

Ayaka: Eiri-san won't be coming back here anymore. It's genuine. The relationship you and Eiri-san had is over ...

pg 130
---

Hiro: Shu ......
Ayaka: .. Shindou-san ...?
Hiro: I knew it. He's still got it for Yuki. He had said he'd given up on your fiancee. But now I think you've just spiked his determination.
Ayaka: I know!

pg 131
---

Hiro: Using your fists to tell him and make him understand ... Ayaka-chan, what about your rival's point of view?
Ayaka: I don't care about his point of view ... then or now. Everyone else is only thinking about Eiri-san's well-being.

pg 132
---

Shuichi: Dammit!! Aww come on!! Always making fun of me, saying I'm irresponsible ..!! He gave me a key last time I saw him!! I told him he can't get married!! I won't just sit back and let this happen! When I get this door open, it never fails, I see that frightening face and he'll say .. "what do you want?" ...

pg 133
---

Shuichi Yuki ...

pg 134
---

Shuichi: Yu ... Eiri Yuki you goddamn son of a bitch!!

pg 135
---

Shuichi: Were you just teasing me, playing games with my body only to vanish and get married? Give me back my pure heart and my innocence!! You fucking bastard!! So what am I doing to his house? Do you regret it? Regret it at all? No, you'd never regret it .. Then why!? Because I was forced to turn to Mr Droopy Eyes (referring to Taki)!? Answer me Yuki! I was protecing you! I cried out, but those guys violated me anyway ... don't you understand? What "my answer" is. To really have the answer be those guys!? I really ...

pg 136
---

Shuichi: What am I crying for? I ... I haven't given up.

pg 137
---

Shuichi: The real Yuki and the now Yuki ... I just care about him so much. It's heart-breaking .. being without him .. I am the biggest fool!
Tatsuha: Aah, you fell in love didn't you?

pg 138
---

Tatsuha: With my big brother. That was bad of me, you love Eiri.
Shuichi: Waaah! Yukiiiiiii I love you too! Say it again ...
Tatsuha: I hate seeing you cry. I want to see a smile on your face.

pg 139
---

Shuichi: And then he said, "The next time the two of us go on a trip, it will be our honeymoon." He said that. *heart* Tatsuha chan *heart*
Tatsuha: You .. so empty ..
Shuichi: Ayaka-chan .. found out.
Tatsuha: Oh?
Shuichi: Wh - where am I? I .. I dunno what ..
Tatsuha: ... you really are a bad liar Shuichi ... Come on!

pg 140
---

Shuichi: Hey .. Tatsuha! I have to see him! Ayaka-chan is gonna be at the place she told me about, I'll go alone!
Tatsuha: If she is, I'll send her off with your friend Nakano. She asked me to come find you y'know.

pg 141
---

Shuichi: Huh?
Tatsuha: A monk running errands for her! I'm cursed!
Shuichi: Ayaka-chan? Sent you after me!? What's that about! What do you mean!
Tatsuha: Just get on already! This is your last chance Shuichi. Do you want to let Eiri marry Ayaka?

pg 142
---

Father: Is that so? You've disciplined yourself? This brings me some relief for once. Ayaka-chan is the only daughter of the Ryugan Temple and this is an imporatnt thing to her parents .. Today we are even, she has a different kind of youth and is a nice young lady. I haven't seen her in awhile, but I imagine she has grown up into a beautiful girl don't you think?

pg 143
---

Yuki: You think so? She needs to grow a little more in the chest ..
Mika: Father! Ignore him, calm down! Eiri! Show a little respect!!
Yuki: Besides, the crucial person, Miss Ayaka is still missing anyway.
Tatsuha: Why you ..! I've brought someone.
Father: Ah! You made it! Tatsuha!
Tatsuha: And I brought Ayaka chan too. You'll love me for this, Brother!

pg 144
---

Father: Well, well Ayaka-san! Please come in.
Shuichi: I'm terribly sorry for being so late. Eiri-san. I'm pleased to meet you.

pg 146
---

Father: A-Ayaka san ..? It's been awhile since I saw you, but you've changed .. alot.
Shuichi: *Megumi laugh* Father,I'm in a good mood. And it's Ayaka. How have you been? Honestly, Eiri san, what of your socializing, with me as an exception .. with MEN no less!! I won't marry a sexless gay man!! As a result, this engagement is off! OFF! Father: .. uhm ...
Shuichi: All I wanna hear is "yes" from you, Baldy!!!
Father: .. y .. yes ..

pg 147
---

Shuichi: That's the answer! I heard it! There's no marriage for Eiri Yuki!! I'm glad we agree! Well then, I have tons of things to talk to Eiri san about, so if you'll excuse us.
Yuki: Father, save me ..
Father: Wait, Ayaka-san, please wait. It's a one time thing, won't you please give it a second chance? I'll speak with Eiri about it ...
Shuichi: But Eiri san .. thinks me to be homely and clumsy already, though I think he's handsome and beautiful ..

pg 148
---

Father: What was that!! It's not just about your looks, it's about a person's heart!!
Shuichi: Ah! I'm so happy! But I knew you'd give up when ..
Father: Nope! You give up!
Shuichi: No way!! Give it up!!
Father: No!! I won't!!
Shuichi: NO!! You give up!
Mika/Yuki: ......
Father: How good looking is this other man then!? He's the cause of all this ...
Shuichi: What did you say Old Man! What was that? Whaddyda mean he's the reason for all this?
Father: A... Ayaka san
Shuichi: If that's true, then don't you think I'd do something!! Eh!? You really wanna know, then here!!

pg 149
---

Shuichi: I'm Yuki's lover!!
Mika: Where do you think you're going?
Yuki: .. eh .. uhm Father .. these circumstances ...
Father: ..........

pg 150
---

Father: EIRI!!!!!!!!!
Yuki: Last time it was a sailor fuku, still you did it again. Cosplay boy.
Shuichi: .. anyway I have some things to say.
Yuki: There's more things to say?

pg 151
---

Shuichi: Yeah, there are. [I understand.] Yuki ... [I won't run away.] You're what I love.

pg 152
---

Shuichi: Regardless of the person you were in the past. Yuki is Yuki. Seems like up until now, there are alot of things I don't understand.

pg 153
---

Shuichi: Please tell me everything I don't know. Yuki.

pg 154
---

Yuki: I killed someone. I was 16 at the time .. living in another town ..

pg 155
---

Yuki: I killed. All of them. I killed them. ... satisfied? Now you know everything about me that you didn't know.

pg 156
---

Yuki: Now, you were saying you loved me ... Can you still say the same thing even though I'm a killer?

pg 157
---

Shuichi: Don't be stupid. You ... it's my choice to say it right! So what if you killed someone! Any frightening threat you make now is too late. Nothing will keep me from you!

pg 158
---

Shuichi: But with the exception of him, the marriage and stuff, I said some pretty brave stuff huh?
Yuki: ................. You didn't need to!!

pg 159
---

Shuichi: Owwww!!! What did you do that for?
Yuki: Be quiet! Just go home!! Shuichi!!
Shuichi: Huh ...? ["Shuichi"? He called me by my first name ..] Yuuukiii say it again ...
Yuki: Don't cry!! Don't drool!! No runny nose!! Those are my clothes!!

pg 160
---

Shuichi: Yuki! Why are you running away? We're so good together like this.
Yuki: I never decided that.
Shuichi: Hey Yuki? Don't you wanna hold hands?
Yuki: Moron, you ...
Mika: Nothing can break such magnificence. Even cancelling the engagement, time is a problem. You're really alright with this?
Ayaka: Yes, I am.

pg 161
---

Ayaka: Eiri san would never have been happy married to me. I really believe that he likes that boy. He'll be more happy this way.
Mika: ... well, for that kid, finding a million yen would seem like the height of unhappiness based on the expression we got.

pg 162
---

Ayaka: That's not it at all. I only saw it once. I saw Eiri san smile, he was happy then!
Mika: I'll bet you were surprised to see that sour look replced with a smile huh?
Ayaka: Oh yes.
Mika: However, back then it was nice just getting a compliment from him. Really ..

pg 163
---

Ayaka: That time he smiled, it wasn't for me. But I think I know who caused it. That person out there can bring back "the real Eiri san".

pg 164
---

Intercom: Now arriving from Los Angeles, United Airlines Flight 875 ... you can meet your party in the South Wing Arrivals Lobby.
Seguchi: !!

pg 165
---

Seguchi: Hey .. wait .. STOP!!
Ryuichi: Ah, oh yeah this is Japan. Sorry about that Tohma.
Seguchi: Nah, don't worry about it. You've been out of town, but you're the happiest about the little reunion.

pg 166
---

Seguchi: I'm happy too. I've been waiting for 3 years .. welcome back, Ryuichi san.
