Kyo-kun, Kyo-kun!

Look! It's a mini Isuzu-san!

That's a pony. Pretty tiny, huh?

It's cute!

Kyo-kun, which animal should we visit next?

We can just go in order of which ones you want to see most.

Whoa, seriously? Let's check out the elephants next, then. Elephant time!

There are no giraffes...

Nobody asked you, chaperones.

What could possibly be more important than elephants, you doof?

I wanted giraffes.

And you should've picked a better first date spot, like an amusement park.

Something more exciting and GAAHHH!

What? And stop shouting.

I get it! I bet you're afraid of heights, and your [bleep] gets all [bleep]!

Gah! No shouting those words in public!

Giraffes...

Er, the sign says we can pet lots of cats over in that area!

"Cat-Petting Corner" Er, the sign says we can pet lots of cats over in that area!

Er, the sign says we can pet lots of cats over in that area!

Elephants are good, but so are cats.

Even at the risk of your panties slipping, you can't help bending to pet... cats.

They exhaust me.

Um, Uo-chan, Hana-chan, I'm actually the one who asked him to take me here.

Oh, we're not serious. We just like picking on him.

I love this place, very relaxed. Let's have ice cream later.

Giraffeless places are cool, too. Love it.

Yay, cats! Damn, you're adorable.

They're so cute!

Huh? Hey, Kyon.

Yeah?

Check it out.

The black cat suits her.

He's like her familiar.

That day, I watched silently as Tohru picked up the beads I'd ripped off.

I don't know, maybe picking them up for me was her way

of protecting my current and future selves.

What I do know is that maybe "loving someone"

means embracing their past and future, too,

not just loving what you can see of them now.

Whoa, Yun-Yun, you really applied to a college that far away?

Mm-hmm.

They've got a program I'm interested in. I'll be living alone in the spring.

You sure you can do it? I don't wanna find your corpse when I visit.

Experience is the best teacher!

Does Machi know about this?

She knows. Don't worry.

Ohoho... you've climbed the ladder to adulthood!

If you say that to Machi, she will definitely punch you.

Actually, remind me--what did you decide about college, Kakeru?

Oh, I'm going.

I wasn't really into the idea, but everyone is on my case to go,

so I figure I'll just do it.

Oh, good. I was worried you wouldn't come.

You were on the fence about it, right?

"Because I'd rather be alone with you!"

No, Manabe, because I wanted to avoid you saying stuff like that!

I see you've climbed the ladder to adulthood.

I warned you.

Phew, we walked a lot!

It was fun, though.

Yes, very!

Would it be all right if I went to the restroom before we leave?

You okay on your own?

Yes! I'll be right back!

I'm exhausted...

How come I never see her sweat even though she always dresses like that?

That's just not human.

Sheer force of will.

I told you, don't read my mind!

What is it?

You're taking her away, aren't you?

Yes... One day, you'll...

Yes, I knew this time would come.

But still...

It's selfish.

Sor--

But I still--

If you call me "Mama" right now, I'll forgive you.

Are you telling me to die, or...?

Hanajima, time to stop picking on him.

Well, drat.

"Drat," she says.

Oi, Kyon.

We do like you, believe it or not.

You're dumb, but you're a good guy, and hard to hate.

But dumb.

Yep, still dumb.

Listen...

"Congrats on your graduation!!"

Tohru is our people. Our friend, and our family. "Congrats on your graduation!!"

Tohru is our people. Our friend, and our family.

All jokes aside... we're counting on you to take care of her, okay?

Graduation day was as sunny as anyone could ask for.

The clear wind and drifting clouds were gorgeous.

The world almost seemed to be giving us its blessing

as we graduated and prepared to leave home.

Yes, even Kyo-kun and I are leaving...

There we go!

I think that about does it for cleaning my room!

It looks so empty in here.

Yep!

So does your room, Kyo-kun.

Yeah. I don't have anything to leave behind,

and we're staying at Shisho's tonight.

I can't help remembering the day I was first brought to this room.

Yuki-kun and Shigure-san were both very kind...

I was very nervous...

...and then you broke the roof!

Argh, okay, maybe that happened...

Yes! I was so surprised,

and then you all transformed, so I was even more surprised.

But it was very...

...fun.

I had fun.

I enjoyed these days with all of you so much. They were like jewels...

They were so precious to me...

I'm sad that they're over.

I'm sad.

Is that because I managed to love life here?

The stronger the love, the lonelier the goodbye...

Clearly you don't get it.

Listen up: Everyone loves you more than you think they do.

So it'll be okay. This isn't the last time you'll ever see them.

It's the start of a new banquet. Right?

Yes!

S-S-Sorry! I-I-I'm s-so sorry!

You get embarrassed about the weirdest things.

Oh, right, this is for you.

It's a key to my new place. Come visit whenever you want.

I don't want you to worry that I'm cheating on you at college, or anything.

I-I wouldn't... worry about that...

I lied!

Honesty is the best policy, I think.

You're terrible. You're a terrible person.

Um... you're not leaving right away, though, right?

I'm not, no.

The ones leaving tomorrow...

Will it make you sad?

Hmm?

Yeah. Of course.

Me... too...

I'm sad, too.

I'll miss being able to see you so easily, Yuki-sempai.

So... I'll catch up.

I swear I'll catch up to you.

I'll be waiting.

Oh, hey, Kagura-chan.

Did you know that Shigure-niisan quit writing novels?

He did?! I had no idea!

I heard it from Mitsuru-san...

You should have seen her.

It's over! The evil one has fallen!

That's wonderful, Mitsuru-san!

She was so happy.

I wonder if he quit to be with Akito.

Do you think they'll get married?

Who knows.

More importantly, Ritsu, when will you marry Mitsuru-san?

M-M-Marry her?!

--I-I-I couldn't, I'm still so...! But I...!

--Don't rip the kimono! Aren't you giving these to me?! --I-I-I couldn't, I'm still so...! But I...!

Whatever, I don't care.

Why does everyone have to be all lovey-dovey lately? Sheesh!

Um, but you'll come to the sendoff tomorrow, won't you?

Of course! Not for Tohru-kun's sake, though. For my dear Kyo-kun's sake.

Yes, we all want them to be happy.

Nope! Wrong.

They're going to be happy. Period.

Nobody will live in that house anymore, huh?

What will happen to it? Will they tear it down?

I hear it'll be left as-is, at least for a while.

Really? Oh, good.

Hopefully, someone'll move in there before anyone tears it down.

Mm-hmm.

Whoa, what? What?!

I-I'm sorry, it's nothing! I was just thinking, tomorrow's the day...

It's okay. Tomorrow, I'll see her off with a smile.

It's fine.

Cry your eyes out tomorrow.

Because you love her.

Sensei was laughing that no one punched him even though Tori-nii said

he was "sure to end up eating a punch" from someone.

Well, duh. But only because everyone's more grown up than Shii-chan now.

Yes. All grown up.

More importantly, how dare Kyo take Tohru with him!

I bet he just wants her all to himself.

I wanna pinch him! Really hard!

Why not pinch him tomorrow?

Nah, I can't do it in front of Tohru.

Oh, but thanks to him, I have another dream.

I'm going to find an amazing significant other,

and we're gonna go visit them just to show off.

So Tohru had better stay happy.

She'd better keep on smiling, or I'll be disappointed.

How can you act like nothing's happened?

She did bad things to both of you,

and you got really hurt...

...and Tohru is scarred for life, too!

I'll never forgive her. I can't!

Am I wrong, then?

How come the rest of you can get over it? Why...?

No matter what I do, the mess in my heart doesn't go away.

Haru, did I let you down?

I worry you'll hate me for always saying this stuff...

I'm not going to feel let down, and I'm not going to hate you.

What happened has left all of them in emotional turmoil,

even if not all to the same degree.

Yes. But I'm certain they'll be able to overcome it.

So, tomorrow's the day...

Yes. I'm sad, but I'm not worried.

I feel the same.

Whoa...

Yep, tomorrow. I'll say hi from you.

What?

Well, yeah. I'm sad, but I'm happy, too.

I'm excited for them, I guess.

Journeys, you know?

Hey, are the trees blooming there?

They will in a bit.

Then I guess I'll start my journey in a bit, too.

Be ready to feed me.

Tororo soba?

"Ayame" "Most Trusted" "Most Caring"

Aya-kun, Aya-kun! "Ayame" "Most Trusted" "Most Caring"

Aya-kun, Aya-kun!

Why don't we add this to our gifts for Tohru-kun and her companion?

Well done, Mine! Everything you feel, everything you think of--

toss it all in the box!

This will enable them to lead a glamorous life. Our mission here is vital!

Yes, sir!

But Aya-kun...

Speaking from my own experience,

there's a certain loneliness in seeing children leave the nest.

Indeed there is!

That is why we adults must put an obnoxious level of love

into stuffing care packages with cup ramen, socks, maid outfits, et cetera,

and mailing them as a token of our feelings!

For the child, wherever they may go...

Which is precisely why must send Yuki even more and better goods!

How about this one for your brother?!

Okinawa?

Over summer break? I'm in! Let's go!

Wait, are you sure you can?

Yes, that's why I invited you.

I've never gone on a proper trip.

There are a lot of places here in Japan that I've never been.

--I figure I'll start in the south and make my way-- --I love this idea!

I love how "not you" it is.

A southern island with Hatori-kun! Short-sleeved shirts with Hatori-kun!

I'm glad you're entertained, Mayu.

I mean, I can't even imagine you in a swimsuit--

I'm sorry. Me in a swimsuit is a scary story.

Why?

Well, you know, my figure is... um...

You know I've got no boobs. I'm like a tall pancake...

This isn't news.

I know, okay?! And I've got no right to say this after I laughed, but don't laugh!

Anyway, come on! Let's go look at some travel agencies today.

You're going to the sendoff tomorrow, right?

Yes.

I hope the weather is good.

Yes.

All right, we've finished our errands. Want to go have fun?

We're going home to work.

You're so serious.

You're going to the sendoff tomorrow,

so we have to do as much as we can today.

You really aren't going?

No.

It's okay. I'll go visit her whenever I want, anyway.

And will I be dragged along with you, may I ask?

You're so selfish.

Yo.

Did you finish packing?

Pretty much. There's food left in the kitchen, so eat it if you want.

Kyo.

I want to talk to Honda-san in private. Is that okay?

Living room.

Oi.

Do a good job, stupid cat.

Advice not needed, stupid rat.

Yuki-kun, welcome home!

Thank you.

So, you're taking off tomorrow.

Yes!

I won't be able to hear your "welcome home" anymore, then.

But...

But I'm kind of happy.

It's sad, but I'm also happy that I made it to where I am now.

I was always weak...

I was bad at interacting with people, but I wanted to be loved and needed.

I wanted so much.

And then you appeared...

...and made it all come true.

You freely taught me what I wanted.

You gave it to me.

That's how I'm standing here right now.

You made me a person.

You raised me into a person.

You were...

...like a mother to me.

I finally managed to tell you how I feel!

It's a little uncool, but...

--No, it's-- --But you know what?

I think that goes for the others, too.

You're someone warm and kind.

So even though we'll be living our lives in new environments from now on,

we'll think of you.

"Are you doing well?"

"You're not crying, are you?"

"Are you still smiling?"

"Are you happy today?"

We'll keep thinking of you, wondering those things.

Everyone loves you.

Thank you.

I'm glad I met you.

I'm glad you were here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you...

...Tohru.

Thank you. I'll see you again soon.

Huh?

Mama!

Where's Tohru-kun and Kyo-kun?

Hey! Call them "Grandma" and "Grandpa."

What?!

But Tohru-kun said it was okay to call her by her name!

Grandma and Grandpa went for a walk.

Aw, they left me behind again!

You shouldn't interrupt their time alone to be lovey-dovey.

Lucky them. They're always lovey-dovey!

Together, hand in hand...

Have lots of happy times and sad times,

and grow old like that.
