Sorry about my mom.

It's fine. See you then.

Okay.

Yuki-kun, is something the matter?

Mom changed my conference date last minute.

Sheesh.

It's already a miracle that she's coming, I guess.

Don't be so full of it.

All the zodiac members will come back to me in the end.

Forever... unchanging.

Th-The conference is meant for you...

...for you to think about your own path, your own future.

So... So Yuki-kun, please do your best.

Stop meddling.

I-I'll do my best to meddle!

Huh?

At any rate, we started conferences!

"Fruits Basket"

For now, I just want to start working.

I don't feel secure with just my dad's income.

Don't say that.

Are you interested in a particular job?

Particular job?

Uo-chan, you'd be a great model. You'd be so cool and marvelous.

Oh, yeah?

Being a model sounds good.

A-A model?!

Don't just decide on a whim.

Well, for now, I just hope... I can graduate.

Saki-chan, stay strong!

That's up to how motivated you are.

"Career Plans" "2-D Saki Hanajima" "1st Choice: Escape to foreign country" "2nd Choice: Train to be housewife" That's up to how motivated you are.

Whether or not we've set our career plans, we're all graduating in a little over a year. "Career Plans" "2-D Saki Hanajima" "1st Choice: Escape to foreign country" "2nd Choice: Train to be housewife"

Did you see?

Who's the hottie?

Mayu-chan-sensei might fall for him!

Yes! That's it, Mayu-chan! The pissed face I wanted!

S-Sensei?

Ah... right. I heard that Soma-san here has been swamped...

Thank you so much for coming during a busy time. You're so thoughtful.

Not at all. I just did what anyone would do.

What is this? It's like an icy wind blowing from my right.

Why don't we start?

Y-Yes, ma'am! Thank you very much!

You're planning to start working right away?

Yes.

You're sure you don't want to further your education?

It's not too late to apply for scholarships.

No, thank you. I will start working.

I want to graduate high school and start working... as before.

And you're moving out of Soma-san's house after graduation?

Yes.

Why not become my wife, then?

Huh?

What?!

I am already 28 years old.

People have been telling me to settle down.

U-Um...

That won't do.

A proposal is important to a woman. Don't ask so casually.

That must be why you can't get married.

What's this? Are you the type who still idealizes marriage proposals?

You'll waste away your marriageable years like that.

What is this diamond dust...

--Honda? --Y-Yes?!

"Snap" --Honda? --Y-Yes?!

--Honda? --Y-Yes?!

Your plan is to start working for now.

There's still time, so think carefully.

O-Okay.

Honda.

Don't try to bear everything by yourself.

Okay...

Done already? It went by too fast.

U-Um, Shigure-san, thank you very--

Sorry, Tohru-kun. Will you go first?

I need to talk to your teacher about something unrelated.

B-But... th-the diamond dust...

Tohru-kun, you're not making any sense.

Argh!

Please excuse me.

Man, I've fallen for you again after seeing your teacher side.

You're just here to spite me. You're even wearing Hatori-kun's suit.

Bingo! I'm amazed you realized it's his!

Must be the power of your stubborn love!

He's so infuriating!

No need to be so cross.

After all, if you and Haa-san got married, we'd be relatives.

I'm so glad I didn't touch you.

You stayed behind to tell me this?

Yep! I did!

Fine. Whatever.

I wanted to talk to you about Honda, too.

Treat her with more care.

She's a reasonable girl, but she can't bear everything herself. "Career Plans" "2-D Tohru Honda" "(School) (Work) (Other)"

She's a reasonable girl, but she can't bear everything herself.

I can't tell how much you know.

A relative told me the same thing, too.

Are others--like that girl--just things to you?

Like fallen books and scraps of paper?

"Career Plans" "2-D Tohru Honda" "(School) (Work) (Other)"

Whatever it seems, I'm treating her with exceptional care, despite being me. "Career Plans" "2-D Tohru Honda" "(School) (Work) (Other)"

Whatever it seems, I'm treating her with exceptional care, despite being me.

I meant you, at your core.

Impossible. You can't expect more with my personality.

That's not even my job in the first place.

What nonsense... You're probably not kind to those you love either, huh?

Honda, don't figure out what this guy's really like.

Oh, come on! You talk like I'm evil incarnate.

Tohru.

--Tohru! --Huh?

Why are you spacing out?

Er, it's nothing.

Tohru-kun, something's on your mind.

What?

I feel turbulent waves from you.

I-It's nothing serious.

Just anxious thinking about my future again...

No... it's not that.

It reaches deeper.

Doesn't that make everybody anxious?

I'm anxious about it, too. Pops said to think more seriously about my future.

Me, too. I was asked to graduate.

Dude, that's the minimum expectation.

As for you, don't you usually overthink things?

Don't just keep it all to yourself, all right?

It's a waste of the present time... and it worries me.

It's also important to think of what you can do now, in the present.

Yes... Yes, you're right. Like somen, right?

Somen? That a joke?

Huh? N-No, it's not! It's something Shigure-san once told me.

U-Um, he said to take a break once in a while and eat somen with your friends...

Really? That writer said that?

Uo-chan, Hana-chan. Thank you very much.

I feel better now!

No need for thanks. I simply did what you always do for me.

Hana-chan!

Hanajima. Don't take all the credit.

Ah, whatever.

Tohru, don't be too trusting of that writer.

Oh. Why not?

That one's pretty black inside.

He's twisted.

Don't worry. Shigure-san is such a kind man.

Well, I can't help it if you trust him so much already...

Tohru's wholehearted trust in him must guilt him into kindness.

Oh, my. It's Kyo Soma... and who is that?

Shisho-san! Oh, he's Kyo-kun's dad!

Wh-- Seriously? That guy is?

I thought his dad would be a redhead like Carrots.

That's because...

Don't really look alike, but...

How handsome.

--What?! --What?!

I've gotta decide on a career path now?

No. You have a general idea of what you want to do, though?

General idea?

I can't really imagine him as a college student or working adult.

What the heck?

It's true.

Nothing to say to me?

An adult has no right to deprive their child of their free will, right?

Though I do believe an adult has the right to worry themselves sick over their child.

Think it over. It's fine if you take twice as long as others.

I simply wish to know your answer.

Such little time left.

Such little time.

I want to be by your side. I can't think of anything other than that.

You're just Kyon. Can't believe you had the nerve to catch that.

Uotani, you jerk.

Hey, let's go.

--We're heading over to your house. --Huh?

U-Um, would you like to have a somen party with everyone?

Even though nobody knows the answer yet...

What? Hanajima-san likes Shihan?

I'm unsure of how I feel about him having an older child.

That'll work itself out. Right?

Not so fast, dammit!

Hang on, it doesn't matter how Kazuma-dono feels?

Graduation...

Until that day...

It's not like you have conflicts that day, do you? I'm a busy person.

Mom's voice resounded over the phone with its usual coldness.

Anything else? Fine, see you then.

All those feelings from the past surged back.

I'm sinking. I'm falling.

Everything turns dark.

Mom, I want to go home, too!

I don't like that room. Akito says all these scary things!

--Oh, my. --I don't like it. I want to go home!

Take me back with you, Mom!

Mom, please! Help me!

How wonderful that the head of the family has taken a liking to you.

Make sure to keep getting along together.

Bye, now.

Did I make you wait?

Not at all.

That's good, then.

Let's get started quickly, if you don't mind.

Don't want to waste more time.

Well, there's no need to discuss again.

What do you mean?

He'll be continuing his education. I'm already set on the colleges he'll apply for.

Yuki is expected to be a leader of the Soma family in the future.

--It would be shameful to lack the schooling befitting of his status. --Wait. Hold on, what?

Why did you... Don't just decide for me!

You mean I kindly made the decision for you?

--Ma'am. --Well, isn't it true?

You're unable to decide anything on your own.

Left to your own devices, you decided to attend this obscure high school.

Listen, Yuki. You have never had your own opinions.

Be quiet if you're just being defiant.

You need to start doing things properly.

Ma'am, I must ask you to stop.

You're saying something very illogical to your child right now.

Whatever do you mean?

Say it! Say your opinions out loud.

I see. You took offense when I called this school "obscure."

No. I couldn't care less about that.

Hurry up and say--

You must be single. Lucky to be so carefree.

--Hurry! --It's difficult once you have children, you see.

--Hurry! Hurry! --It's difficult once you have children, you see.

--Hurry! Hurry! --They're self-centered and selfish.

This one got huffy and wouldn't listen to a thing

when we argued about applying to this school.

That's not it.

That's not it. I just want to attend a high school outside.

Someone didn't lure me away or anything.

How strange of you to bring it up so abruptly, though.

It's not abrupt. I don't like the Soma family.

That's how I always felt and how I still feel now.

You never once said that you disliked it since you were a child.

Am I... your tool?

What does it matter?

So what if you're a tool?

That's enough!

I have enough foolishness from Ayame already!

The head of the family has taken a liking to you. What more do you want?!

My words hold no meaning or power and die before reaching you.

I remember thinking that if that was the case, I never wanted to speak again.

Greetings, all! I have finally arrived!

What a profound mystery rain is!

For not only does it prevent one from wakening,

but it also leaves one's hair impossible to style!

But worry not, Yuki!

Your brother, who holds you most dear, now graces you with his presence!

Why in the world did you come here?!

These roses are for you.

You are a magnificent person who has guided my beloved brother

and bestowed upon him the romantic situation of having a female teacher.

I offer these with respect.

Uh-huh... thanks.

Now, let us begin this conference at once!

Answer me, Ayame!

Will you be quiet, Mother? We must discuss Yuki's precious future.

It would be sheer folly to interfere.

Y-Y-You're the one who came to interfere!

--I didn't realize Mom was so bad at handling Ayame. --Cease your shouting. Yuki and I are both the sensitive sort.

--Aya-kun really is influential. --You're the one making me shout!

Regardless, I won't have you interfering with Yuki!

You never did before! You neglected him in the past!

You'll turn Yuki as useless as you are if he's around you!

I can depend on him.

He can be ridiculous sometimes,

but he's not useless.

Stop!

Don't report this to Hatori.

Worry not. I'm sending a text message.

That's the same thing!

When did the two of you get--

My, what's this? Have we conveyed our deep brotherly love?

Don't you understand?

Yuki gave me a second chance, you see.

And even the nil he felt toward you is becoming something existent.

Don't you understand? You are like how I used to be.

Not realizing how much you've trampled the things precious to you.

I will not be spoken to like--

You dare speak to your mother like this! Never have I been so insulted!

You don't know the hardships I've been through!

If only I knew... I wish I had never given birth to you two!

Leave her be. There's no talking to her in that enraged state.

Please do your best.

Please do your best!

I'll go talk to her.

Oh dear, will you be okay?

Thanks for coming today.

Hear me out, Tori-san...

Didn't think you'd actually show. Date was changed and everything.

Gure-san told me.

Sheesh, him again...

Ah, but you had it hard. Isn't my mother something else?

She has a peculiar susceptibility to have love for money and status.

Though, I must say that her inability to adapt to my innate royal disposition

is rather unfortunate, despite being my mother.

"Hatori" "--he looked grateful for my presence! Our brotherly love is now mutual--"

But it's my failure that caused Mother's expectations to fall upon Yuki. "Hatori" "--he looked grateful for my presence! Our brotherly love is now mutual--"

But it's my failure that caused Mother's expectations to fall upon Yuki.

If only she felt some remorse.

But he said he could depend on you.

Mom, wait!

Wait!

What is it? Let me tell you, your life will be a complete waste

if you keep going on like this.

Was she always this small?

Her shoulder is so thin.

She felt so large when I was young, though.

I thought that if she abandoned me, if she deserted me,

everything would turn dark, and it would be the end to everything.

I'm... I'm alive...

Alive in this world, and I want to be part of it.

In order to be part of it, I need to put in effort.

I want to put in that effort.

And the end result might not be something you approve of,

but to me, it will be something I can be proud of.

So please, don't decide for me yet.

Please don't decide what my life will be and end it.

I'll continue my education, but I'll decide where to apply to on my own.

--President! --Hmm?

I've been looking all over for you! Come with me!

Wh-What? Right now?!

Come on, hurry up!

See you later.

See you later.

The lingering chilly wind after the rain clears tells that winter is on its way.

But the warmth in my chest proves that the light surely burns.

Though it's so tiny that it might go out with a slight puff of air,

it surely burns.

"Student Council Room"

Commander! You are the commander! "Student Council Room"

Commander! You are the commander!

The one born to be the commander of our School Defense Force!

I may do just that!

Do something about him. Nothing's getting done!

What...

...the hell are you doing, idiot brother?!

Yuki!

--Commander! --Sorry for the trouble.

You have it rough all the time, Hatori-kun.
