        Moemi:   Moteuchi-kun wants me... What should I do. What, is
                 it really okay to let him go farther?
        Sound:   Doki doki doki. Zoku! Piku!
        Moemi:   But no longer... I feel like I'm floating on air...
                 No strength...
                 Anymore...
        Moemi:   I'm scared!!
        Sound:   Gyu.
 
 <29>
        Youta:   I wonder why...my mind is unusually calm... The time
                 with Nobuko-chan, I lost my train of thought and ran
                 forward, but...
        Youta:   What? The past is coming up... The time when she was
                 my idol...
        Youta:   Ah... About that day.
        Youta:   Oh, it's Moemi-chan.
        Youta:   That's right. ...I knew it was her from behind...
        Sound:   Hyu.
        Moemi:   Kya.
        Sound:   Fuwa.
        Youta:   I was so excited all day long... Those polka dots
                 stayed in my eyes and didn't leave...
                 But, I've never used it in bed*... Moemi-chan was
                 like a saint to me and I didn't tarnish her, so...
                 *In this context he's talking about using his image
                 of her for masturbation.
 
 <30>
        Youta:   What about now...
        Sound:   Su.
        Sound:   Ku.
        Youta:   I'm touching that saintly behind...
        Youta:   Ah... That sports wear was radiant... No matter
                 what, my eyes went to her body...
        Youta:   From that, I knew her breasts were big.
        Youta:   When I could see through to her bra, I felt like I
                 had discovered something big, and watched it with
                 excitement...
        Youta:   Every time, I felt into self-hatred.
        Youta:   "Don't look at her with kinky eyes!" But of course,
                 my instinct didn't listen to me...
 
 <31>
        Youta:   I only saw her from a distance. I thought I could
                 never reach her. I just yearned longingly for her,
                 like a girl from a photogravure, and just selfishly
                 fantasized...
        Youta:   But now... She is in my arms! Can I believe that,
                 this is a miracle, I can't waste this!! Because my
                 emotions from my excited days has awaken, so I'm
                 twice as excited now. I can't let you go home
                 without anything... I won't let you go home!!
                 Can we...?
        Moemi:   Eh...? Ah...
 
 <32>
        Moemi:   No...
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki doki doki.
        Moemi:   Mo-Moteuchi-kun...
        Sound:   Ka.
                 Gu gu.
        Moemi:   Um!
 
 <33>
        Moemi:   Oh... No... My strength...
        Sound:   Do do do do. Piku biku biku.
        Moemi:   Ah... I'm wearing a front-hook today... What should
                 I do if he thinks I came here for this...
        Sound:   Doki doki doki doki doki doki doki.
        Sound:   Ka. Do do do.
        Sound:   Tsu. Do do.
        Sound:   Horo. Do.
 
 <34>
        Sound:   Gan.
        Sound:   Gan.
 
 <35>
        Sound:   Gan.
        Sound:   Don.
           Ai:   Gu.
           Ai:   Youta... With Moemi-chan! Youta... With Moemi-chan!!
                 Ah, my head!!
 
 <36>
           Ai:   This idiot!! Don't play it with a broken VCR!! I
                 thought I was going to die!!
        Youta:   It's delicious. I'm surprised.
           Ai:   I found one of your good parts.
        Youta:   Hunh.
           Ai:   I see.
           Ai:   You...like girls with big breasts?
           Ai:   That's right! Let's make today an anniversary!!
        Moemi:   I...should have started liking Moteuchi-kun.
 
 <37>
        Rolex:   Then, it's the same as a normal human girl.
           Ai:   Youta...
           Ai:   Because it's "The anniversary of the first date with
                 the dress that Youta gave me" ...
        Youta:   I want my picture book to give people dreams some
                 day!!
           Ai:   I found another one of your good parts.
         Sign:   [I send you support!!]
           Ai:   This is fine! Because I can be with him!! Youta!
                 I'll make you happy!
           Ai:   I'll support you, so. Take both love and dreams in
                 your hands! You'll be a neat person if you can do
                 that.
 
 <38>
           Ai:   I was going to leave this house...today...
        Youta:   Shall we kiss...
           Ai:   It's my destiny! I have to support your love. I
                 can't like you!!
        Youta:   Ai.
           Ai:   Thanks... I could talk to you until the last minute
                 because of your effort. So, I don't regret this
                 anymore.
        Youta:   Ai!
           Ai:   Youta!
        Youta:   The hardest thing for me now is to lose Ai!!
        Sound:   Ga.
           Ai:   Stupid, so many cuts... You tried too hard.
           Ai:   Youta!!
 
 <39>
        Youta:   Don't go anywhere anymore.
           Ai:   Okay!
 
 <41>
        Sound:   Za.
           Ai:   I've...awakened...
           Ai:   I lost the time that was more important than I
                 expected... What should I do, what...
                 I've wasted too much time...
        Youta:   Don't go anywhere anymore.
           Ai:   Those words are like jewels now... I'm sorry Youta,
                 I'm stupid...
                 I forgot your words, and have lost all this time...
 
 <42>
        Sound:   Batan. Tatata.
        Sound:   Guchi guchi.
           Ai:   Moemi-chan...
        Sound:   Gacha.
        Youta:   Moemi-chan...
           Ai:   My memory has come back, but I've forgotten Youta's
                 face. I feel like it's different from that time, and
                 I don't know his face...
 
 <43>
        Sound:   Gachan.
        Youta:   Moemi-chan...
        Moemi:   Sorry... I have to go home...
 
 <44>
        Youta:   I wonder if she still has some side effects from
                 that stormy day... I've never seen her wearing a
                 skirt since then... Even around em...
        Youta:   That nightmare awakens even though I'm with her...
                 Can I let that nightmare sleep...?
        Sound:   Gachan.
        Youta:   Moemi-chan!
        Sound:   Ba.
           Ai:   Ah.
 
 <45>
        Youta:   Ai-chan. What. Didn't you say you weren't coming
                 back today!? What's wrong!!
           Ai:   Somehow...I feel relieved... Because it was the
                 Youta I know. I missed him and I became happy... If
                 I think about it, sad words were coming out of my
                 mouth.
           Ai:   Long time no see, how are you?
