Masshiro na hane ga ima furi sosoide
Pure white feathers now falling down upon me

Standing in the middle of an empty classroom, Yuuto lifts his head as white feathers start falling around him.

Me no mae no keshiki goto ubau prologue
The prologue takes it all, right down to the scenery before me

In front of him are all his classmates, with Yukina in front and the Takanori group just behind her, but as the feathers pass by, the scenery changes into a blank white room where Ryouta is standing alone on the other side with his back turned to Yuuto.

(Instrumental)

As Yuuto begins walking towards him, Ryouta looks at him over his shoulder.

Ryouta flashes a brief smirk, before turning around to face Yuuto fully.

Yuuto stops as Ryouta acknowledges him.

The two stand equidistant from one another, staring deep into each other's eyes.

Yuuto's dead expression doesn't change.

Ryouta's evergreen smile doesn't waver.

White feathers pile around them, and a bloodstained light from above covers both of them.

Ikiba no nai koto futashika na sora
Into this uncertain sky, with no place to go

Child Ryouta stares emptily at the crashed car rolled over his parent's bodies, reaching his hand out to his mother's hand that's stuck out from under the vehicle.

Saigo no kotoba mo kikezu ni tonda
I flew away, unable to even listen to your last words

Child Yuuto is standing at the doorway of his house, looking behind him into the hallway one last time before the hand of an old man pushes him into leaving.

Mune wo fusagu tokubetsu na iro
There's a special colour that blocks my inner feelings

At a dinner table, child Ryouta and Shiba are enjoying breakfast together, with Ryouta laughing happily while watching TV and Shiba smiling as he watches over him while reading a newspaper.

Toki ni kage
What it blocks is sometimes a shadow

In the Underworld, child Yuuto lays curled up on the muddy floor clutching his stomach, his dirtied bangs casting shadow over his eyes empty and blood leaking from his temple, running down his bruised cheeks and right back into his cracked lips.

Toki ni yume
Sometimes a dream

At school, child Ryouta sees someone getting picked on in the stairwells, and intervenes to shove the bullies away.

Toki ni wa ai wo
Sometimes even love

Forcing himself to lay upright, child Yuuto stares into the pitch black ceiling and imagines the lower half of his mother's smiling face, before shedding the last of his tears.

Kioku no kakera ga taisetsu ni omoetara
When my fragments of memories seemed important

Child Ryouta stares up into the sunset, reaching his hand out to the stars that can be faintly seen in the emerging night sky.

Sasayaka na yuuki ni kawatte
They changed into tiny pieces of courage for me

Child Yuuto stares down on a mountain of bodies, releasing his blood soaked fist as a river of flesh flows between his two feet.

Kasanatta silhouette
And overlapped into a silhouette

Child Ryouta and child Yuuto start walking forward simultaneously, growing up into their current day selves, and overlapping with one another, before separating as they enter GEN Academy side by side.

Inori wa me ni mienu kaze ni natte
If my prayers could be invisible winds

Yuuto walks forward alone, remembering Rukia and her gentle smile from the time they reunited with one another.

Anata no kubisuji ni todoku no nara
That reach the back of your neck

Then he remembers Yukina and her innocent smile from the times they read books together.

Okizari no regret kizu mo uso mo
Then I feel that my regret at abandoning you

Then he remembers Shinomiya and her tender smile from the times they spent at Cafe Yuzu together.

Koete yukeru ne to omoeru kara
Along with the scars and even the lies, could all be overcome

Then he remembers Kurosaki and her strange laugh from the time she gifted him her sunglasses.

Believe me wo tojireba ukabu ikutsumo no kayagaki
Believe in the light you see when you close your eyes

Then he remembers the person who saved him on that day, her swaying black bangs and loving smile as she accepted everything.

Eien no shoumei wa kono trinity cross
In those many glints of light, the eternal proof is this Trinity Cross

Walking past all those sweet memories, Yuuto stops walking and picks up a cross with a claret gemstone in the middle from the ground.

In the phone he's holding in his other hand, the current class point distribution is displayed.

A Class - 1640
B Class - 1155
C Class - 780
D Class - 695
E Class - 450
