Rolex: You look fine.
Ai: Who are you!?
Rolex: Oh. You don't have to pretend, huh.
<27>
Sound: Buwa.
Rolex: I guess you're living with the old man now, right?
Ai: How did you know that.
Rolex: Fu. I guess you don't know anything. Tell the old
man that 'The Man with the Coat' came to
see you.
And also tell him, "I'm not so nice as to leave
someone's mistakes alone."
Now. I must go to the principal's office. There are
many problems getting into school out
of season.
Pretty soon, I'll let you meet your friend.
<28>
Ai: What was he. I felt such hate towards him.
Sound: Ta.
Ai: He seems to know about me.
But. There are too many people who know about me.
It's strange, very strange.
<29>
Sound: Ba.
Ai: Is it possible that I've lost part of my memory!?
Girl: Wow, aren't you wearing a bra!?
Ai: Eh?. Oh, because it's tight.
Nobuko: Amano-san. She looks worried. She might like Senpai
too.
I'm weak about that kind of face. I feel sorry for
her. No, I can't!
I shouldn't be negative, I have to do my best for my
love!
<30>
Ai: There's no album! There's no album, which is the
easiest way to discover my past!
I want to see some pictures as positive evidence.
I have memories about my childhood. About being
bitten by a dog, the funeral of my
parents, and the junior high entrance ceremonies.
But, it seems weird now that I only
remember these, and nothing else.
Sound: Gu.
Ai: Video camera. Why is there so much video equipment?
We don't even have a washing
machine or microwave.
<31>
Sound: Wiiiiii mu.
Ban.
Ai: The VCR, always playing. What would happen if I
stopped it?.
Grandpa will just get upset for not recording his
programs.
Sound: Do do do.
Gokuraku: You can never stop it.
Ai: Or. Is it somehow related to me?
I want to, I want to stop it! I might get an answer
about this fuzzy question if I'm able to stop
it.
Sound: Do do do.
Ai: If I stop!.
Sound: Bita.
<32>
Nobuko: Wow! It's cool!!
Wow, it's nice. It just looks like a designer's
house!
Youta: Over that wall is the bath and toilet.
Nobuko: Gee, the kitchen looks so clean and easy to use.
I'm impressed. There really is such a neat house
like this!
Youta: This is the third time I've had a girl in my house.
I became calm without being confused!
<33>
Youta: Ai's room. After she left, it became the 'off-limits
room'.
Nobuko: Senpai, what room is this?
Youta: Eh.
Sound: Giku.
Nobuko: Can I look in here?
Youta: Well, not here.
Sound: Hyu.
Nobuko: The more you hide it like that, the more I want to
see it!
<34>
Nobuko: Off guard!
Sound: Zu.
Sha.
Youta: Ha! Why did I become so serious!!
Hahahaha.
<35>
Youta: Do you want to see it so much?
Nobuko: Well, if you don't want me to see it so much, it's
okay.
Youta: Sorry.
It's been the same ever since Ai left, so if it's
possible, I'd like to keep it like it is. Sorry,
Nobuko-chan.
Nobuko: Is this your room!? Um-- Looks clean for a guys room.
<36>
Youta: Shall we watch TV?
Nobuko: Well. They aren't showing anything interesting now,
right? It's okay.
Youta: That's right.
Sound: Gaku.
Youta: Dammit. Um. I don't know what to do when we settle
down, just alone.
What!? She's taking her clothes off. I don't
understand!!
Sound: Doki doki doki.
Chira.
Su.
<37>
Nobuko: What's wrong?.
Sound: Doki.
Youta: What's she doing!? Suddenly, boldly, Nobuko-chan!!
Sound: To.
Goku.
Nobuko: Senpai.
Youta: Wh-wh-wh-wh!
Sound: Dogi magi dogi magi.
Nobuko: The window. It's hot if you keep it closed.
Youta: Wha?
Hahaha. Sorry! Sorry!
Sound: Gara gara.
Youta: She took it off because it was hot. Stupid of me. I
thought too much, gee.
<38>
Ai: At last. I couldn't press it. I couldn't stop the
VCR. I felt that if i pressed stop, everything
would stop. But, why did I feel like that, why.
Sound: Pita.
Ai: Wh-where is this. But, I've seen this neighborhood.
<39>
Ai: This house, too.
This house, too. I remember!!
This house.
Ai: Don't! Don't turn it off!! Don't turn the power
off!! I'll disappear then!!
Sound: Bu.
<40>
Ai: Uuuu! Wha-what was it.
Sound: Zukiki.
Ai: Can this be Youta's house.
Sound: So.
Ai: I got it.
Sign: [Moteuchi]
Youta: Oh my.
Ai: Ha.
Youta! If I go to his room. Something.
<41>
Nobuko: See, there I am, next to you.
Sign: [Art Club]
Youta: Really, you are.
Is this Nobuko-chan too!?
Nobuko: No-- Don't look at it!!
Sound: Gura.
Youta: Ooops.
Sound: Doki.
<42>
Sound: Doki doki doki doki.
Gyu.
Youta: Oh, it's already 10-o'clock, Nobuko-chan. You have
to go home.
Nobuko: I don't want to.
Go home.
Youta: Eh?
<43>
Sound: Pi po pi.
Gacha.
Ai: He must be with Nobuko-chan, still.
