Moemi: Moteuchi-kun... How are you doing? I'm in Japan... I
didn't go away to the foreign country. The day I was
going to leave, at the airport, I don't remember
well, but I fainted... And, then I had a dream about
Ai-chan...
<155>
Moemi: I had a dream. Ai-chan was trying very hard to do
something...
Moemi: And I realized that leaving Japan in running away...
Moemi: Because my reason was that it was hard to stay alone
in Japan if I didn't get along with you... I
realized that it's not good, and Ai-chan was doing
her best... So I started to live by myself.
Moemi: Moteuchi-kun... By the way. Today is a very fine
day... The cherry blossoms are very beautiful...
<165>
Sound: Fuwa.
Sound: Ba.
Nobuko: Gee! Why are the skirts at this school so short!
<157>
Nobuko: I think... I said something last year...
Nobuko: When I saw Senpai again here. He taught me art in
junior high art club...
Nobuko: Senpai! I'm working hard to rebuild the all but
destroyed club at this school.
I wanted to do my best at something, like you. See,
I'm good, right, Senpai!
Moemi: Nobuko-chan.
Nobuko: Oh! Hayakawa-senpai, why!?
Moemi: I...missed this school...
<158>
Nobuko: Senpai... I heard you quit school and left for a
foreign country.
Moemi: I want to do my best alone. I have some savings, so
I want to get a part-time job and live alone.
Moemi I always depended on someone, so... I decided to
stop it...
Moemi She...always did her best by herself...
<159>
Nobuko: Same here... I'm thinking to be like
Moteuchi-senpai...
His attitude with facing a problem seriously... I
want to be like that...
He wasn't settled, but at least he was focused on
the picture book and Amano-san!
Sound: Su.
Nobuko: It's kinda confusing, but... Those two just fit... I
think they'll be together forever...
Moemi: I think so too...
Moemi: I want both of them to be happy.
Nobuko: Listen!! Stupid Youta Moteuchi.
Nobuko: You broke up with these two good women! Take good
care of Amano-san!! You have to be happy!!
Moemi: Nobuko-chan... Kusu.

Sign: [-Okayama-]
Takashi: Youta... Are you doing okay? I still really regret
hurting both you and Moemi... But... It might sound
weird, but I'm trying to use it as a starting
point...
Takashi: Your kindness... It glimmered for me, who doesn't
have room to be...
If I could be kind, I wouldn't have had to hurt you
two...
So, I'm doing my best to be like you. I'm having a
hard time since it's hard to change my
personality...
Takashi: I'm in a band with Shimizu-san in Okayama. We're
practicing to be professional. With many people... I
think about myself in a crowd... I can see things
I've never seen before, and I'm enjoying every day.
Youta... It's because of you... Thank you.
Takashi: Youta...be happy... I know you can be!...
<162>
Youta: Ai... I didn't realize that I made such a big
mistake. I depended on someone I had to protect.
Ai... Yes, on you...
Youta: I didn't realize it until our hearts got together,
at the last moment, that you were having a hard time
because I depended on you...
And the biggest mistake is...that I depended on you
for my dreams.
Youta: I said I couldn't finish the picture book if Ai
wasn't with me.
What a stupid thing... It's not a dream any more if
I give it away...
<163>
Youta: Ai, watch me... I'll stand on this starting line to
change myself!
I'll finish the unfinished picture book by myself. I
feel like I can stand on this starting line if I can
do that simple thing.
Youta: Please take the finished book, Ai. I added to the
ending of Robot "Kokoro-kun". Kokoro-kun doesn't
stop moving at the scrap yard. It's my message for
you, Ai-chan...
Youta: It's finished...
Sound: Gigigi.
<164>
Sound: Ba ba ba ba.
Sound: Kira kira kira kira kira kira kira.
Narrator: Ai's sparks fell on my, just like congratulating,
Youta.
<165>
Sound: Zawa zawa zawa.
Moemi: Wow.
Nobuko: Great!
Takashi: Oh...
Moemi: Ai-chan...
Nobuko: Ai-chan...
Takashi: Ai-chan...
<166>
Youta: Ai-chan...
Youta: Ai-chan. I see... You're going to disappear...
<167>
Youta: It's enough because I could be with you until now.
Youta: Don't worry... I'll be okay alone.
Youta: Thanks for watching me until the last, Ai-chan...
Youta: Good bye...
<172>
Ai: Youta...
<173>
Youta: Ai!
<174>
Ai: Youta!!
Youta: Ai-chan!
Narrator: Everyone became happy because of Kokoro-kun. "I'm a
robot. I'm useless since everyone's happy."
Kokoro-kun quietly closed his eyes.
<175>
Narrator: Everyone in town cried when they found Kokoro-kun at
the scrap yard. "I thought everyone became happy,
but we can't really be happy like this." "Kokoro-kun
is already a member of the town."
And they prayed, "If there is a God in this world,
please listen to us!"
Narrator: The prayed for a long time...devoutly...devoutly...
Then, in one flash of light from the sky a voice was
heard, "I listened to your wish."
The people's wish was accepted by God!
<178>
Narrator: Kokoro-kun became human.
