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

**Pg. 8**

Kasumi's mom's e-mail message to Ren: "Please take care of Kasumi. Don't let your eyes off of her"

Ren: Don't worry. She can't be any closer.

**Pg. 9**

Kasumi: What are you doing, Andou-san?

Ren: I'm reporting to my company about work. I'm still here in Japan for business.

//kachya kachya// [Ren typing]

Kasumi: I see...

Ren: Oh, I ordered room service and got some coffee. If you want some, go ahead.

**Pg. 10**

Kasumi: You're such an adult. I might really fall in love with you.

Ren: You're such a liar. Take it easy on me. If Yuka were to find out, she might fire me. You're bothering me with my work.

Kasumi: That's why you're great. Because you don't think of me importantly...

//zaaaaaa// [shower running]

Kasumi's thoughts: It's not heavy. Irresponsible relationships are easy.

**Pg. 11**

Kasumi's thoughts: There's no love or hallucinations there. Not a fragment of feeling guilty either...

**Pg. 13**

//R PRRR RRRR// [phone ringing]

**Pg. 14**

//PRRRR PRRR// [phone ringing]

**Pg. 15**

//Pi// [Yoshiki answers phone]

Kasumi's mom: You finally answered. Hello, Kasumi!? This is Mom. Did you already see Ren? He's there on a business trip. Kasumi?

Yoshiki: Kasumi left with the guy you sent over.

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

Kasumi's mom: Yoshiki...! Why...no, you guys...

//kushya// [Kasumi's mom scrunches paper]

Yoshiki: Be happy.

**Pg. 16**

Yoshiki: I'm probably the most filial piety person.

//putsu// [Yoshiki hangs up]

Kasumi's mom: Yoshiki...Hello!?

Yoshiki's words: "Kasumi left with the guy you sent over" "I'm probably the most filial piety person"

**Pg. 17**

Kasumi: Oh...really...

Yoshiki: I really wanted to be a filial piety person forever.

**Pg. 18**

Kasumi's friend: Something that Kazuki forgot?

**Pg. 19**

Yoshiki: The manager at his job gave it to me, but I don't know where Kazuki-san's place is.

Kasumi's friend: Why don't you just give it to Kasumi? Did you guys have a fight?

Kasumi's friend 2: Oh, well, it's good timing anyway. We'll be seeing his family tomorrow...Oh! Did you want to come too? It's Kazuki's 49th day (since his death). Kasumi's coming too, right? I wonder what she's going to do about school.

Yoshiki: 49th day...oh...that's why...

Kasumi's friend: What? If you're going to come, this is the cemetary's address. Bye.

**Pg. 20**

Yoshiki: That's why you came back.

Kasumi's words: "Good bye"

Yoshiki: You kept it a secret from me and came from Kazuki-san.

Kasumi's words: "Good bye"

//gashyaaa// [Yoshiki knocks over glass]

**Pg. 21**

Yoshiki: You're telling met that Kazuki-san won...

**Pg. 23**

Kasumi: You're really gone...I came here today to thank you and say good-bye.

//jyari// [someone steps up]

**Pg. 24**

Kyoko: Sister.

Kasumi: Kyoko-san. You came too...well, I guess it's funny if I say that.

Kyoko: I have something to tell you in front of Kazuki-san.

**Pg. 25**

Kyoko: Please don't ever show up in front of Yoshiki again. He's even treasuring your ring that you left.

**Pg. 26**

Kyoko: As long as you're living, and he knows it for a fact, he will never open his eyes. So, at least...with your will, please don't see Yoshiki ever again.

Kasumi: You're telling me to promise you that in front of Kazuki?

Kyoko: I can only do this. Please.

**Pg. 27**

Kasumi: I threw away that ring one more time in front of Yoshiki.

Kasumi's words: "Good bye"

Kasumi's thoughts: He told me to throw it away if I was serious. He won't believe me if I just say that I'm serious, so I threw a metal-like thing on the ground that sounded like a ring. How did that sound to you, Yoshiki?

**Pg. 28**

Kasumi's thoughts: How did it sound to your ears?

Kasumi: I'm going back to New York tomorrow. I'm going to live with Mom forever. You don't even have to ask me. That's what I came to tell Kazuki today. The next time I see Yoshiki, we'll be a normal family.

**Pg. 29**

Kasumi: Kazuki, will you be able to rest peacefully now...?

Kasumi's thoughts: Just holding on to the memories...

**Pg. 30**

Kasumi's thoughts: Tomorrow will come again like nothing happened. When I think about the two of us being involved, I can just think of it as the both of us being hit with a fever. When the fever gets better, the memory will be gone and we can be normal and start a normal life. Over and over again.

**Pg. 31**

Kasumi's thoughts: Just holding on to the memories.

Ren: Is black tea okay?

**Pg. 32**

Kasumi: Yeah. Thank you...oh no! I told you I wanted it straight and this has milk and sugar in it.

Ren: Drink that and gain some weight. Your bones are hitting me.

Kasumi: Can you not compare me with those blondes?

Ren: Oh, by the way...um...what was your brother's name? Yoshiki-kun! Right? I think it's him...he was at the platform.

Kasumi: Yoshiki? Why...?

//pushi// [opens can]

Ren: Why? Well, I'm sure to see his sister off. Maybe he asked the company what time you were leaving. Why don't you go talk to him? You won't be able to see him for awhile. This will be your last time, right?

**Pg. 33**

//kon// [Kasumi puts her drink down]

Kasumi: I'll be right back.

Kasumi's mom's words: "This is a demand from your superior. Don't let her see her brother"

Ren: I was wondering what kind of brother he would be if he's worse than a drug addict, but he seemed normal. I wonder what Yuka' worried about.

Kasumi's mom's words: "Don't let your eyes off of her"

Ren: I'm watching her...

**Pg. 34**

Kasumi: You came to see me off?

**Pg. 35**

Yoshiki: Yes...

Kasumi: We had a lot of fun...there was a lot of hardships too, but I'm glad I got to meet you...what am I saying to my brother? This is like a normal break-up couples go through. We weren't normal...

**Pg. 36**

Yoshiki: The truth is, I really didn't want to see you.

**Pg. 37**

Yoshiki: I came here to check that you weren't riding on the train. You told me "good-bye", but somewhere inside of me, I thought, "there's no way she's on that train". I was desperately trying not to find you here. That's why I didn't want to see you.

**Pg. 38**

Yoshiki: This is really it.

Kasumi: No.

**Pg. 39**

Kasumi: We're still family. It's about time. Then, Yoshiki, good bye...

**Pg. 40**

Kasumi: Ah...!

**Pg. 41**

Kasumi: Yoshiki, what are you doing...

Yoshiki: What is this...?

Kasumi: Ouch...Let go...

Yoshiki: I'm asking you what this is!

**Pg. 42**

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

Yoshiki: You threw it away that one time.

**Pg. 43**

Kasumi: Yoshiki, let go.

Yoshiki: You said that you were scared. That Kazuki-san's death was an excuse and that you were scared of yourself for commiting incest.

Kasumi: Yoshiki!

Yoshiki: You said you were scared, right!?

Kasumi: Yes, I said that! I got scared.

**Pg. 44**

Kasumi: If I don't make our break-up and excuse, I can't be sad for Kazuki's death. I became scared of myself. The more I touch upon Kazuki's past, the more I know how much Kazuki thought of me.

**Pg. 45**

Kasumi: But even so, my feelings were heavier than my happiness. I hated myself for thinking that way!

Kasumi's thoughts: I could not forgive myself. I had goose bumps.

Yoshiki: What about the ring...?

Kasumi: It was true that I thought I should be apart from you, but...

**Pg. 46**

Kasumi: I can't lie to you with just words. But there's no way I can throw away our ring. The ring I threw away that one time was a different ring. I just wanted a normal relationship. To have a memory of loving you.

**Pg. 47**

Kasumi: To live on my own until I die.

Kasumi's thoughts: Just holding on to the memories.

**Pg. 48**

Train Announcement: The train to Narita airport is now departing...

//gashyan// [doors shut]

Ren: Kasumi's late...

//gatatan gatan// [train moving]

Ren: What...!?

**Pg. 49**

//gatatan// [train moving]

Kasumi's mom's words: "Don't let her see her brother" "Don't take your eyes off of her"

**Pg. 50**

Yoshiki: It's not a dream. It's really not a dream. Please make your decision now. I already know that you're an awful woman.

**Pg. 51**

Yoshiki: Quietly be kidnapped by me. Don't make it a memory...

**Pg. 53**

Yoshiki's words: "Quietly be kidnapped by me"

**Pg. 54**

Ren: No, I'm telling you...she was with me until the Narita Express. Her brother came to see her off...he really likes his sister. He's crazy. Anyway, I'm sorry, but I'm going to go back to New York by myself.

Kasumi's mom: Don't....

Ren: What!?

**Pg. 55**

Kasumi's mom: I told you not to take your eyes off of her. I won't let you come back by yourself. I'll talk to the boss for you, so please go and find Kasumi! Don't make me tell you over and over again! This is a demand from your superior! Bring Kasumi back here no matter what!

//gachyan// [Kasumi's mom hangs up]

Ren: Hey...! Yuka!? Hello!?

//tsuuuu tsuuu// [dial tone]

Ren: Geez...she says it likes it's easy.

**Pg. 56**

Ren: What am I going to do about this...?

Ren's words: "Her brother came to see her off"

Kasumi's mom: Please, Ren. Find Kasumi seriously.

**Pg. 57**

Ren's words: "He really likes his sister"

Kasumi's mom: You don't know anything.

Ren's words: "He's crazy"

Kasumi's mom: You don't know anything....!

**Pg. 59**

Kasumi: The train left...my wallet and passport is in there too. How long are you going to keep me like this? Let me go already.

Yoshiki: No...I won't let go.

Kasumi: Let go, Yoshiki.

**Pg. 60**

Kasumi: If you don't, you can't kidnap me. How did it turn out like this?

Kasumi's thoughts: Do you know how hard it was...

**Pg. 61**

Kasumi's thoughts: ...to let go of your hands and act like I threw away the ring...

Kasumi: It was a once in a lifetime act and you find out just when I'm about to go.

Kasumi's thoughts: I went through feelings of my heart feeling like it was being scraped. All lies.

Yoshiki: Acting isn't real to begin with.

**Pg. 62**

Yoshiki: I'm glad it was all a lie...

Kasumi's thoughts: I know now...

**Pg. 63**

Kasumi's thoughts: No matter how hard I try to be strong or act or make my decision, everything gets erased with these arms. It's not that I can't go against fate. I can't go against Yoshiki...

**Pg. 64**

Girl: Asada-san, there's a man in the courtyard that's looking for you.

Kyoko: For me?

Girl: Yeah. He seems like an eloquent salaryman.

Ren: Kyoko Asada-san? Oh, I'm glad I got to see you.

**Pg. 65**

Ren: I heard a lot at Kasumi's college and I was finally able to track you down. Um, you're...Yoshiki-kun's girlfriend, right?

Kyoko: I'm sorry, but who are you...?

Ren: Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Andou and I work for Kasumi's mom. Her mom is bothering me to bring Kasumi back with me to New York.

Kyoko: That's right. Sister said that she was going to New York...

Ren: Well...right when we were about to leave on the Narita Express, she disappeared with her brother. I thought that you would hear something from him, since you're his girlfriend.

**Pg. 66**

Kasumi's words: "I'm going to New York" "I plan on never seeing Yoshiki again. I can promise this in front of Kazuki"

Ren: Yoshiki-kun has such a beautiful girlfriend like you. I wonder why he can't be seperated from his sister. I thought he came to see his sister off, but it was more like kidnapping her.

//zaaaaaa// [wind blows]

**Pg. 67**

Kasumi's words: "I can promise"

//kusu// [Kyoko lightly laughs]

Ren: Asada-san?

Kyoko: Ha ha. Oh no, I believed her again. I should've known that she wouldn't tell the truth. I wonder why it was Kazuki-san that had to go.

**Pg. 68**

Kyoko: I wonder why the good people have to go. If people were to die for intentions to kill, it should have already been the sister. She would already be gone from this world.

**Pg. 69**

Kyoko: But if that were true, I wouldn't be here either. Your name was Andou-san...right? I'm sorry, but I can't help you out...if you see the sister...if you see Kasumi-san, can you tell her...

**Pg. 70**

Kyoko: That I'll live even a day longer than her and take back Yoshiki...

**Pg. 72**

Kazuki's words: "Kasumi!"

Kasumi: NOOOOOO!!

**Pg. 73**

Yoshiki: Kasumi?

Kasumi: That time...the last thing that I saw was an orange color. I thought the car's lights was a flame for the longest time...No. That wasn't it.

**Pg. 74**

Kazuki's words: "Kasumi!"

Kasumi: That was Kazuki's shirt color...!

Kasumi's thoughts: It's so clear that he was protecting me. That last moment until the very end.

Kasumi: Why...why did Kazuki...

**Pg. 75**

Kasumi: Why did he save me...!? No...I feel sorry for Kazuki for falling in love with me.

**Pg. 76**

Kazuki's words: "Suzumura"

Kasumi: He's loved me for so long. He should've loved someone else. Then...

Kazuki's words: "Kasumi"

**Pg. 77**

Yoshiki: It's alright. Kazuki-san was happy. He watched you for 14 years. No matter how cruel or loose of a woman you were, he accepted all that and loved you.

**Pg. 78**

Kasumi: Yoshiki...wait, no...

Yoshiki: If you're going to feel better, cry all you want. I'll make love to you while you're crying for another man.

Kasumi: Stop.

Yoshiki: He's probably mad right now. He might even be watching nearby.

Kasumi: No..

**Pg. 79**

Yoshiki: I'm not going to pity him. He died not even being afraid of being gone. That night, I don't even remember how I got to the hospital. All I remember is throwing up after I was relieved knowing that you were okay.

**Pg. 80**

Yoshiki: You're not the only one who has nightmares. When I reach the hospital, noone is there and it's pitch black. No matter how hard I try looking for you, you're nowhere to be found. But I finally find you. I find you all cold. I always wake with my own screams.

**Pg. 81**

Yoshiki: I can't handle feeling that way anymore. I can't handle it! But...I'm worried about dying before you and leaving you all alone too...

**Pg. 83**

Yoshiki: So....

**Pg. 84**

Yoshiki: Let's run away together. To a place where there is nothing. Only the 2 of us.

**Pg. 85**

Kasumi: Just the 2 of us?

Yoshiki: Yes.

Kasumi: We're both going to throw everything away?

Yoshiki: We're going to throw it all away. The parents, friends, future...everything.

**Pg. 86**
