*******Part 1*******

**Pg. 7**

Kasumi: A wedding party?

**Pg. 8**

Kasumi's mom: Yes.  It's just going to be a house party with us, tho. You just had your cast taken off and you're allowed to go out now, right? We'll have Yoshiki come too, since he's in rehabilitation, and Kyoko-san as well. I just got back from Japan, but before going back to work, I wanted to come here...I guess you're still mad that I went ahead and processed the marriage registration with Ren.

**Pg. 9**

Kasumi's mom: An important thing like that that's for a lifetime...but I'm worried, as a mother, of your relationship with this man.

Kasumi's words: "I am not supposed to ever love this man"

Kasumi's mom: Even if I lost my memory, I'm still a mother.

Kasumi: That's fine...

**Pg. 10**

Kasumi: That doesn't mean that I can accept Andou-san as my husband right away, but...

Kasumi's thoughts: I've already cried a lot.

Kasumi: Anyway, let's just get everyone together and have dinner, okay? So, I'll go...

Kasumi's thoughts: The thing that I learned after getting tired of crying was that even if I'm tied down with this family registration, my feelings are with Yoshiki. Because...

**Pg. 11**

Kasumi's thoughts: Because our love started by ignoring the family register to begin with.

**Pg. 12**

Ren: There's so much! Did you make all this, Yuka?

Kasumi's mom: You know that I didn't. I got it all catered.

Ren: Then you should be at ease, Kasumi.

Kasumi's mom: When Kasumi-san gets out of the hospital, have her make as much as you want.

//kashyan// [something drops at table]

Kyoko: Yoshiki, are you alright? I can get it for you if you just tell me. But you can't have alcohol yet.

//kusu kusu// [Kyoko giggling]

Ren: It seems as if you two are the newlyweds.

**Pg. 13**

Kyoko: What are you talking about? This time, for sure, it's you and Kasumi-san's wedding party, right?

Ren:  That's right...I think it's about time for the main thing...

//biku// [Kasumi perks]

Ren: I was supposed to give this to you at the church, but...is the left hand okay?

**Pg. 14**

//dokun dokun// [Kasumi's heart beating]

Ren: To tell you the truth, I secretly found out what your ring size was on my own.

Yoshiki: Wh...!?

//pan// [Kasumi slaps her hand away]

Kasumi:  No...!

**Pg. 15**

//kasyaaan// [ring drops to floor]

**Pg. 16**

Kasumi: Oh...I'm sorry. I...

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi-san...?

Ren: It's alright. Let's go buy the design you like together next time, okay?

Kasumi's thoughts: He knows and he's telling me this. I don't want to wear any other ring besides the one Yoshiki gave me. The matching pair with Yoshiki.

**Pg. 17**

Kasumi's thoughts: I want to say that out loud.

Kasumi's mom: But I'm so happy that you're going to stay over. You should be staying over at Ren's place, right?

**Pg. 18**

Kasumi: When I get out of the hospital, I'll be going to Andou-san's house, so I want get all my stuff here too. Yoshiki, you go back to the hospital.

Yoshiki: Okay.

Kasumi: You'll be fine since Kyoko-san's with you, right?

Yoshiki: Yes.

**Pg. 19**

Ren: The taxi's here. Kasumi's really staying over?

Kyoko: Yosihki, let's go back. Thank you ver much for the dinner.

**Pg. 20**

//zaaaaaaa// [water running]

Kasumi: Mom, do you want me to help?

Kasumi's mom: What are you talking about? You just got your cast taken off. Please rest.

Kasumi: Mom?

Kasumi's mom: This is nice...

**Pg. 21**

Kasumi's mom: To stand in a kitchen with her daughter.  I didn't know it was such a happy thing. Kasumi-san, you can go ahead and take a shower.

Kasumi's thoughts: When I was little...

**Pg. 22**

Kasumi's thoughts: This is something I would've never seen even in my dreams. In commercials, the mother and daughter were always humming and standing in the kitchen together. That's why I sang out loud too so I wouldn't lose. I sang by myself in the kitchen. But the truth is...

**Pg. 23**

Kasumi's thoughts: I'm sorry.

**Pg. 24**

Kasumi's thoughts: I found something more that I want than my mother's back....

Kyoko: You're healing really fast. I guess I should say that it's a good thing, but...where are you going with your sister once you're completely healed? Are you going back to Japan?

**Pg. 25**

Kyoko: Your face tells me that I have nothing to do with this. I was stupid for being happy that I can stay by your side for a little longer.

Yoshiki: I thank you, Kyoko.

**Pg. 26**

//ban// [Kyoko slams taxi window]

Kyoko: Why....!?

**Pg. 27**

Kyoko: Why can't I hate this horrible guy!!?

**Pg. 28**

Kasumi: I cannot believe you overslept on the day of your early morning meeting. That's not like you.

Kasumi's mom: I was so happy last night, that I just became so comfortable...oh no, my hair's a mess.

//buoooo// [hair dryer running]

Kasumi: I'm gonna put your documents in your bag!

//kusu kusu// [Kasumi giggling]

**Pg. 29**

//dokun// [Kasumi's heart thumps]

//pachin// [Kasumi closes bag]

Kasumi's mom's boss: Then, please take care of the rest. Yuka, please don't be late next time.

Kasumi's mom: Yes. I'm very sorry.

//fuuu// [Kasumi's mom sighing]

**Pg. 30**

Kasumi's mom: Ren!

//ban// [Ren gets up]

Ren: Yuka!? Why are you going to the hospital? You're still in the middle of work...

Kasumi's mom: I thought too carelessy thinking that she was just a spoiled child.

**Pg. 31**

Ren: Kasumi?

Kasumi's mom: Yes. When I think about it now, she went along with everything too easily. She ok'd the wedding party...that girl...came to look for her passport.

**Pg. 32**

Kasumi's thoughts: That's why I never found it no matter how hard I tried looking in the house.

//dokin dokin// [Kasumi's heart beating]

Kasumi's thoughts: Because Mom had it the whole time. But why? Why didn't she give it back right away? Because...if she lost her memory, she wouldn't know our relationship between me and Yoshiki. There's no reason why she would be hiding the passport.

**Pg. 33**

Kasumi's thoughts: Could she...?

Kasumi's mom: She might've found out my "act"...

Kasumi's thoughts: She has her memory back....?

**Pg. 34**

Kasumi: Yoshiki! I found my passport! See! Now, we're okay, right? We can get out of here.

Yoshiki: Kasumi, you're hurting me.

**Pg. 35**

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi. Give that back to your mom.

**Pg. 36**

Kasumi's mom: Mom...?

**Pg. 37**

Kasumi's mom: Come on. You're a good girl. Just give the passport back to me, okay? Last night was fun with the two of us, wasn't it, Kasumi?

Kasumi:  N...no. NO.

**Pg. 38**

Kasumi's mom: Why!? Why aren't you listening to your mom!?

Ren: Yuka, calm down.

//dosa// [Kasumi's mom drops her bag]

Kasumi's mom: You were such a good girl before. You never talked back to me, right? Kasumi.

//biku// [Kasumi scared]

Kasumi's thoughts: Her act...it was all a lie!

Yoshiki: I knew it.

**Pg. 39**

Yoshiki: But poor you. You would've been better off if you really forgot.

Kasumi's mom: I see. That's right...

**Pg. 40**

Kasumi's mom:  Kasumi became a bad girl after she met Yoshiki. That's when she became the Kasumi that I don't know.

Kasumi: Mom....?

Kasumi's thoughts: Something's wrong with her...?

Kasumi's mom: But...don't worry. You can go back to a good girl.

Ren: Yuka...!?

**Pg. 41**

//kata// [Kasumi's mom picks up knife]

Kasumi's mom: Real soon...

Kasumi: Mom....!

**Pg. 42**

Kasumi's words: "I found my passport" "Now, everything is going to be okay, right?" "We can run away"

Kasumi: Nooooo!

**Pg. 43**

Kasumi's words: "We can run away"

Kasumi: Yoshiki!!!!

**Pg. 44**

Yoshiki: Kasumi....?

**Pg. 45**

//patan// [blood dripping]

Yoshiki: Ow...what is this? Hey! Kasumi!

Kasumi:  Oh...Yoshiki? What....?

**Pg. 46**

Kasumi: Kyoko-san...?

**Pg. 47**

//kashyann// [knife drops]

Ren: Yuka, are you okay!? Calm down.

Kasumi: Kyoko-san! Are you alright!? Why...!?

Yoshiki: Kyoko!

**Pg. 48**

Kyoko: I'm not going to let you 2 go together anywhere! That's right, Yoshiki. Not you, but I saved your sister....can you leave me behind? The one who saved your sister?

**Pg. 49**

Yoshiki: Kyo....!

Kyoko: Sister...See. This is...no matter how much you want or wish for. You cannot have.

**Pg. 50**

Kyoko: Blood not related to Yoshiki.

Kasumi's thoughts: In this world...

**Pg. 51**

Kasumi's thoughts: There's no way there's a God in this world...

*******Part 2*******

**Pg. 53**

Kasumi's thoughts: We told each other that it would be soon. That once we're both fully recovered and healed, Yoshiki would get me out of here. We promised that we would get out of here together. We were almost there...

Ren: Nurse!

**Pg. 54**

Ren: Nurse! I'm sorry, but we have wounded people in here! Please take care of them as soon as you can! Please call the doctor! Hurry!

**Pg. 55**

//dokun dokun// [Kasumi's heart beating]

Nurse: What is going on!? What's wrong with this person!?

Ren: She's not hurt, but she's emotionally...this is just an accident.

Kasumi: Kyoko-san, stay in there a little longer. The doctor is coming now. What? I can't hear you...

**Pg. 56**

Kyoko: You guys can't go anywhere....and I can stay by Yoshiki's side.

**Pg. 57**

Nurse: Please move! We're going to take her now.

Yoshiki: Kasumi. What did Kyoko say?

**Pg. 58**

Yoshiki: Kasumi....?

**Pg. 60**

Kasumi's mom: What have I done...!? I did that to Kyoko-san....

Ren: You were tired at that time. That wasn't the real you. Kyoko-chan knows that too.

**Pg. 61**

Kasumi's mom: Whatever the reason is...I'm afraid of myself...

//kii// [door opens]

**Pg. 62**

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi...you're okay, right? You're not hurt anywhere are you!? I'm so glad...

Kasumi: Don't come here! This is awful...

**Pg. 63**

Kasumi: I was really happy with the Oinarisans you made me! You were lying about your memory loss!  You really remembered everything! You used my memories! And on top of that, you processed the marriage registration saying that it was for my happiness! 'Til the very end...!

**Pg. 64**

Kasumi: You tried to take away Yoshiki from me...! Why do you always, always, always...!?

**Pg. 65**

Kasumi's thoughts: I won't forgive her. I won't forgive her.

Kasumi: Why do you always blame Yoshiki!? When you try to stab someone next time, stab me!

Kasumi's thoughts: People that try to hurt Yoshiki...

**Pg. 66**

Kasumi: Don't lay a hand on Yoshiki!

Kasumi's thoughts: No matter who it is...

//gaku// [Kasumi's mom falls to her knees]

**Pg. 67**

Ren: Yuka!?

Kasumi's mom: This is my punishment. For tricking my kids and setting terrible traps...or because I didn't raise my kids right...?

Ren: Yuka...I don't know if I should be asking this now, but I have always had this question in my head.

**Pg. 68**

Ren: You ask me to "save" Kasumi, but you don't say that about Yoshiki-kun. He should be your kid too, but...

**Pg. 69**

Ren: Why is that...?

**Pg. 71**

Kyoko: Yoshiki....?

Yoshiki: I think the anaesthesia is still working, but the doctor said that the wound is shallow...

Kyoko: You're amazed with me, aren't you?

**Pg. 72**

Kyoko: I know that you won't love me when I stopped you like this. I know that this is unsightly and shameful, but...

Yoshiki: Kyoko, calm down. It'll hurt your wound.

Kyoko: My body's wound...my pitiful feelings hurt more! We're all awful! Me, you, and that woman!

Yoshiki: Kyoko!

**Pg. 73**

Yoshiki: The wound...let's have them do surgery so you won't have a scar, okay?

**Pg. 74**

Kyoko: Why....? You're still so warm and you still smell the same. But...why isn't it mine!?

**Pg. 75**

Kasumi's thoughts: Why!?

**Pg. 76**

Ren: Kasumi! Yuka's going back to her apartment. Can you please stay by her side? I can't watch her anymore with all this shock...the reason why she acted like she had the memory loss and the accident today was all for you.

Kasumi: For me?

**Pg. 77**

Kasumi: Mom did it for herself! I feel stupid for feeling guilty! I don't care what the reason was! She tried to kill Yoshiki! I will never forgive her!

//ban// [Kasumi slams door]

Ren: Kasumi!

//haaa// [Ren sighs]

Yoshiki: Don't worry.

**Pg. 78**

Yoshiki: Mom will never hurt you. It's true.

**Pg. 79**

Kasumi: I was scared. I was scared that you were going to die when Mom went towards you with that knife. Before I knew it, I was already running towards you.

**Pg. 80**

Kasumi: But, Kyoko-san...I'm so mad that I couldn't protect you!

**Pg. 81**

Kasumi's thoughts: She should've been suffering and in pain, but I could tell with her smile that she was saying, "I can't leave Yoshiki with you".

Yoshiki: I'm glad you didn't protect me. If you were to get hurt...without a doubt, I...

**Pg. 82**

Yoshiki: I was saved from killing my mother. Which would be another indescretion on top of the incest....

Kyoko's words: "Are you envious?"

**Pg. 83**

Kyoko's words: "This is what you can never have no matter how many times you wish for it"

Kasumi: Hey...

Kyoko's words: "The blood of Yoshiki's that's not related"

Kasumi: That time, when I was watching Kyoko-san on the floor, do you know what I was thinking?

**Pg. 84**

Kasumi: "Chance. If my blood were to be transfused and all of it changed, then I can be strangers with Yoshiki". Of course, that couldn't happen.

**Pg. 85**

Kasumi: I was seriously dreaming of something stupid. That I wouldn't be your sister. I could just be a woman...

**Pg. 86**

Kasumi: Yoshi...? No. My fastner's going to break...

Yoshiki: No. I can't hold on.

Kasumi: You're not healed yet...

Yoshiki: So help me out. I don't care if I break a bone again. I want you right now.

**Pg. 87**

Yoshiki: I'm not in the state of sanity....

Kasumi's thoughts: That's right. His voice, eyes, and even every piece of his hair. Everything...

**Pg. 88**

Kasumi's thoughts: Everything of Yoshiki makes me evil and a woman....

**Pg. 89**

//gachya// [Kasumi's mom opens door]

Yoshiki: Can I come in, Mom?

**90**

Kasumi's mom: Here you go.

Yoshiki: Thank you.

**Pg. 91**

Yoshiki: Did you poison it....?

**Pg. 92**

Kasumi's mom: Yoshiki....I'm sorry about today! I should've been the one to go and apologize to you. I didn't think my kid would...

Yoshiki: You don't have to worry about it. Because I know.

**Pg. 93**

//dokun// [Kasumi's mom's heart thumps]

Kasumi's mom: What are you talking about, Yoshiki?

Ren's words: "To tell you the truth, I've always had this question in my head"

Yoshiki: Mom, the truth is...

**Pg. 94**

Yoshiki: You hate me so much that you don't even want to see my face, right?

Ren's words: "When he's your kid too"

Kasumi's mom: Stop it! Yoshiki...shut up...!

Yoshiki: I told you that I knew. You don't have to hide it.

**Pg. 95**

Yoshiki: Because Kasumi and I are...
