Ai: Takashi-kun!? Why...
Takashi: I saw you getting out of that gap...and I was
worried, so.
Ai: But... you waited for me in this rain...
<147>
Takashi: ...Putting up a tent in a place like this, it's like
you're hiding... It doesn't look normal at all...
Did something happen between you and Youta...
Ai: It's none of your business.
Takashi: Fu... None of my business, huh.
Takashi: I just wanted to get involved in something that
wasn't my business once.
<148>
Takashi: For now, why don't you come to my house. You'll
freeze like that.
Ai: Warm...
Sound: Gata gata.
Ai: Takashi-kun is warm, so my cold body is hard on my
heart... It's been a long time since someone was
kind to me...
Sound: Gata gata.
Ai: But... Nothing better will happen if I'm saved
now... I have only forty more days of life. Youta is
going out with Moemi-chan, so there is hardly any
chance of becoming human.
Ai: And, if I get involved with Takashi... I bet it
doesn't matter, but Youta and Moemi-chan's balance
may mess up.
<149>
Ai: It's okay... Please, leave me alone... I...like it
here.
Takashi: I...see.
<150>
Takashi: I guess 'none of my business' doesn't quite fit my
nature. I feel like if one says okay, then it's
okay.
Takashi: What would Youta do?
Sound: Zaaa.
<151>
Sound: Gata gata.
Ai: ...In the end... I should have asked him to stay...
Why did I worry about many things...
Ai: Ah... I feel numb...
Ai: Co-Cold...
<152>
Youta: Uh... It feels bad. The underwear is also wet...
Youta: Gee... Where did Ai go... Anyway, I have to find
her, otherwise, I can't make a picture book...
Sound: Tyurururu.
Youta: Hello.
Youta: Ah... Moemi-chan.
<153>
Moemi: What's up? You sound down.
Youta: Eh? You think so... I'm not.
Youta: W-Well...
Moemi: Yes.
Youta: I'm naked now...
Moemi: Eh?
Youta: I didn't have an umbrella, so I'm soaked with
rain... I'm going to go take a bath.
Youta: I'll call you back, sorry.
Moemi: Okay, sure.
Youta: Bye.
Sound: Tsu-. Tsu-.
Moemi: ...Somehow, he's cold... It's okay if he calls me
back...
Sound: Tsu- tsu-.
<154>
Sign: [The Next Morning...]
Youta: It's very room, the rain... How long will it last.
Youta: Anyway, I have to find out where Ai-chan is today...
If she puts her tent up in the city, I should be
able to find her soon...
<155>
Sound: Goho goho goho.
Ai: U... A horrible fever... I guess I've got that thing
called the flu... I feel a chill and sore all over
my body... The flu is terrible.
Ai: Dammit, I want to go to the bathroom... Goho goho. I
don't want to move, but I have to go...
Ai: U.
Sound: Guwan guwan.
Sound: Becha.
Ai: There's no other way... I'll do it there...
Goho.
<156>
Youta: Shit... She's not here... She might... If she left
this town, it's trouble...
Youta: Ha. I forgot about one place! I thought she left the
room, but... She must be there!
Youta: Empty.
Youta: ...Anyway... I have to look for her step by step in
the city...
<157>
Sound: Tyurururu tyurururu.
Sound: Tyurururu tyurururur tyurururu.
Moemi: I guess he's not there. The answering machine hasn't
turned on either...
Sound: Purururu purururu.
Moemi: He said he would call me back, but why doesn't he?
Ai: Ha ha ha.
Ai: Ha ha. Gu.
Ai: ...It feels so painful... ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
<158>
Sound: Purorororo. Purororo. Purororo.
Moemi: At this hour...
Moemi: He hasn't been back... What's wrong? Moteuchi-kun.
Sound: Tyururururu. Tyurururu. Gogogogogo.
Sound: Tyurururu. Gogogogo.
<159>
Ai: U... U... U...
Sound: Gata gata gata.
Ai: Ha ha.
Sound: Zukin zukin zukin.
Ai: Help...me... Ah... My head...is going to break...
U... U... It's like I'm dying... Somebody...
Somebody...
<161>
Youta: Day break.
Youta: Oh yeah... If I look down from the top, I can see
since it's bright.
<162>
Youta: Um.
Youta: If I think about it, it's impossible to find that
small tent from the top of this building...
