The truth.

Miyu :* Nani o iutenda yo? (What are you saying?)

Koutani : ... Is it really okay to be like this, Miyu?

Miyu : ... I think so... I hope.

Koutani : ... Can we go on like this... without regrets...?

Miyu : ......

Was he holding me back?

Miyu : (turns around) Un. No regrets.

Koutani : Hontou?

Miyu : No regrets at all.

She starts to walk away. Her tears started flowing as well.

Koutani : Sore wa ii no ka? Na, Miyu?? (Is this really okay? Tell me, Miyu??)

His voice was shaky.

Koutani : ... I just want you to know something...

Miyu : Mou yamete... It won’t work on me, I tell you.

Please. No more. I can’t hold it back if you say anymore.

Koutani : ...... I don’t ever regret meeting you, Miyu. I don’t even regret that I kissed you... and all those times we spent...

He choked.

Koutani : I don’t regret every single moment I spent with you, Miyu!

Stop. It’s enough. It’s time to wake up.

Miyu : .... Na, Koutani.

Koutani : ...

Miyu : *Ima made... Arigatou. (Thank you for everything up to now...)

“Mo.... Sayonara.” (Goodbye.)

 

Sorry... Sorry I ran away that time.

 

Because I couldn't really understand.

 

When did it happen? ... When did I start falling?

...

3 months later...

Yamakura School Festival happened.

Rika : Miyu! Emergency!!

Miyu : Ha? What emergency?

Ayaka : Hamaki-kun wasn't watching where he was going and poured paint on our backdrop!

Miyu : Eh? Which one?

Rika : The one Yuto and Ryo painted all night.. The one with the tree...

Ayaka : Baka! I'll kill that Hamaki! He ruined my sweetie's hard work!
