        Youta:   Since I came here with you, I've liked you...
        Youta:   My heart beat rapidly when I saw you, even when I
                 was going out with Nobuko-chan...
        Youta:   I don't know if I liked you at that time, but I
                 think my feelings toward you stayed...
 
 <48>
        Youta:   Anyway... I want you to go out with me. I want to
                 protect you with my hands.
        Moemi:   Why... Everybody...
        Moemi:   Don't be rude to me...
 
 <49>
        Sound:   Su.
        Sound:   Ga.
        Moemi:   I don't know.
        Moemi:   I can't think!
        Sound:   Ga ga.
        Moemi:   Even so, why do you tell me that!
        Youta:   I knew it... I knew the timing was too bad, but...
        Youta:   You're here, but I can't get any closer. When I
                 can't get closer, even when I'm with you, it's the
                 same thing as me orbiting a star. Even though i
                 struggle like a child, or keep quiet like a stone
                 sculpture, I can't get close to you. Even though,
                 you are here.
 
 <50>
        Youta:   If I think about it, it's the first time since I was
                 born... That I confessed my love...
        Youta:   What I learned was that the word, "love," is like a
                 bomb... Once I said it, the next moment something is
                 destroyed... It always brings about bad results,
                 and... I can't stop thinking like that...
        Youta:   I can't believe there are any good cases...
                 But... Why is my mind so calm... I wonder if it was
                 such a shock to me... Anyway, I feel so tired... I
                 feel like I don't care about anything...
        Youta:   Do I...really...like Moemi-chan...
 
 <51>
        Sound:   Su.
        Sound:   Batan.
        Sound:   Kyu.
 
 <52>
        Sound:   Zaaaaaaa.
           Ai:   How can I make Youta realize it's a
                 misunderstanding. Takashi isn't the person he
                 thinks...
           Ai:   I bet that Takashi thinks that if Youta keeps
                 misunderstanding, then he can be serious about
                 Moemi-chan. He's really miserable...like this...
      Takashi:   I feel like I lost something very important. Why
                 couldn't I move carefully...
 
 <53>
           Ai:   I know how he feels... At that time... Me too...
           Ai:   I'm stupid, too.
           Ai:   I'll try hard to put Youta and Moemi-chan
                 together...
        Sound:   Sha.
           Ai:   Like this, becoming human is a dream in a dream...
                 I'll disappear like this, as a Video Girl... Hah...
                 It's horrible...
 
 <54>
           Ai:   You can take a bath.
      Natsumi:   Oh, thanks. Sorry, as always.
           Ai:   Don't worry, well, it's not my house either.
      Natsumi:   Is Youta-kun here?
           Ai:   Not yet.
      Natsumi:   I don't understand...
      Natsumi:   I thought he likes you and you like him... Why does
                 he go after another girl.
           Ai:   Eh!?
      Natsumi:   Does it matter that you're a Video Girl?
 
 <55>
        Sound:   Doki.
           Ai:   Eh!? Eh!? Oh... Yeah, she knew it...
      Natsumi:   He's miserable if that's the reason he gave you up.
           Ai:   But... I will...
           Ai:   Disappear not far in the future, so...
      Natsumi:   Then I don't agree anymore!
      Natsumi:   You're still here! You're alive!! You don't have to
                 hold yourself back, either!
      Natsumi:   I hate such calculating thoughts!
 
 <56>
      Natsumi:   I'll be on your side, so do your best, right.
           Ai:   ...Thanks.
           Ai:   But... I think he doesn't like me anymore...
        Sound:   Gachan.
      Natsumi:   Hey, the phone is ringing.
           Ai:   Eh.
        Sound:   Ba. Gacha.
           Ai:   Hello.
                 Youta?
 
 <57>
           Ai:   Takashi-kun.
      Takashi:   Hi... I was afraid Youta would answer, but...
                 Hahaha... Good.
      Takashi:   Are you okay?
           Ai:   Yeah...somehow.
      Takashi:   Good... It came to me, too, but I thought it was
                 hard on you as well, so...
           Ai:   You worry about me? Thanks.
      Takashi:   Well... Actually... I wanted to talk... Well...
                 That... What... That's all... hahaha.
           Ai:   ...Poor guy... It must be a big shock to him. He
                 wanted to talk to somebody.
      Takashi:   Okay, if you're fine. Well, sorry I called you all
                 of a sudden... So... Bye.
           Ai:   Oh, see ya.
        Sound:   Putsu. Pu- pu- pu-.
 
 <58>
           Ai:   Um!
           Ai:   I'm better...
           Ai:   because there's someone who was nice to me,
                 Moemi-chan must be having an incomparably hard
                 time...
           Ai:   I can't lose my courage! I think I can do my best.
                 I'll face it positively, even when my time to
                 disappear comes...
 
 <59>
        Moemi:   I've never thought...Moteuchi-kun has...about me...
      Takashi:   What a simple mind! I'm sick of you.
        Youta:   I've liked you all this time...
 
 <60>
        Moemi:   I wonder how Moteuchi-kun felt until now...
                 When I talked about my timid feelings toward
                 Niimai-kun, Moteuchi-kun encouraged me.
        Youta:   Don't give up! You don't know anything yet, right!
                 Do your best!!
        Moemi:   I wonder how he felt at that time...
                 When I confessed my love to Niimai-kun, he kindly
                 smiled at me...
        Youta:   I'm sure you'll have a good response. Don't worry.
        Moemi:   I wonder how he felt at that time...
        Moemi:   How about when he was listening to my, quietly,
                 about my problems with Niimai-kun?
        Moemi:   More than that, at that time, and at that time, and
                 at that time...
        Youta:   I like you Moemi-chan...
 
 <61>
        Moemi:   I didn't think about Moteuchi-kun feelings. I didn't
                 think, I didn't think at all. I hurt such a nice
                 person a lot! Why me, why!!
                 Why do I like Niimai-kun!!!
 
 <62>
      Takashi:   How was Youta yesterday?
           Ai:   He didn't come home...
      Takashi:   Oh... I wonder if something happened with Moemi...
           Ai:   Hey... Why don't you talk to Youta.
           Ai:   You weren't related to Moemi-chan being attacked,
                 right? Truthfully...
 
 <63>
        Moemi:   I'll go see how Moteuchi-kun is doing, from a
                 distance. I hope he came to school...
        Moemi:   Um... That's...Ai-chan...
        Moemi:   Good... I'll ask her... Looks like she's talking to
                 someone... I wonder who...
                 Could it be Moteuchi-kun?
        Sound:   Soo.
           Ai:   ...make them attack Moemi-chan.
        Moemi:   No kidding... Talking about me.
           Ai:   I can't believe that's what Takashi did.
        Moemi:   Eh?
