Mommy...

Isuzu-san?

Are you awake? How are you feeling?

Please, don't get up.

Why is she...

--I will go notify Hatori-san. --No. I don't want to get close to her.

"Fruits Basket"

Tohru-kun found you in the living room on the floor and throwing up.

Then, you transformed into a horse. Boy, were we at a loss.

--Isuzu-san?! Are you okay?! --We couldn't possibly take you to the hospital in that state.

Anyway, we waited for you to regain consciousness. --Isuzu-san?! Are you okay?!

Anyway, we waited for you to regain consciousness.

Remember now?

I remember.

I had an unpleasant dream. How humiliating.

Isuzu, you're going to the hospital.

No! I'm not going.

--Isuzu-- --No!

I hate the hospital!

--Isuzu! --No! Let go!

Leave me alone!

Isuzu-san!

P-Please don't, Isuzu-san! That's dangerous!

Rin, why not learn how to take care of yourself?

Especially if you want people to leave you alone.

What am I doing?

It will never end like this.

I'll be back tomorrow.

I wonder why Isuzu-san came to visit?

She looked so tormented.

Hmm, well, truth is... Rin and I are dating.

--What?! I-Is that true?! --I lied. Sorry.

Consider the situation and who you're talking to before spouting nonsense.

Anyhow, I'll head out now.

Oh, okay. Take care.

I'll walk him out.

Oh, okay.

I called you here, but is Akito-san okay with it?

It is excusable.

--Things are tough for the lapdog, huh?

--Isuzu came here to see you, didn't she? --Things are tough for the lapdog, huh?

--Isuzu came here to see you, didn't she? --Hmm?

Yep, she did.

She's desperately trying to find a way to break our zodiac curse.

By herself.

She comes every so often, because she suspects I know how to break it.

An absurd idea.

An absurd idea, indeed.

But is that really true?

Hatori...

...do you hear it?

Hear what?

The sound of breaking.

Rin, you're not eating?

I'll never forgive you if you contact Haru.

Haru told me you'd manage on your own.

But let me tell you something.

Haru still loves you, Rin.

He loves you very much.

I think it's because of her that Yuki and Kyo's auras have mellowed out.

Is she an extraordinary girl?

No, she's pretty normal.

You'd understand if you met her. She's kind.

You're kind too, Haru.

You're kind... Too kind.

I feel sorry for kind people.

That's why I didn't want to see her, either.

But when I visited Gure-nii's for the first time after our breakup,

I saw her there.

A strong impulse overcame me.

I'm coming in.

How are you feeling?

Um, I'll be sleeping in the living room downstairs,

so please don't hesitate to call me if you need anything.

A-And, I'll leave some water here for you.

Stop.

Stop trying to break the curse.

You went to Kazuma to ask about it, didn't you?

What are you trying to do?

Do you look down on us?

Feel pity for our hideousness?

None of it... None of it is your business!

Kind people like you should just live in their kind world!

Are you... blaming me?

I'm not... but this is the only way I can get it across.

I don't want kind people to be taken advantage of.

The sight of their hurt expression...

Could it be that you're trying to break the curse, as well?

I told you to stay out of it!

Do you know how to break it?

Shut up! I said it's none of your business!

--Isuzu-san! --Don't meddle!

Don't interrupt me!

No!

No! I will meddle!

What the hell?!

No!

I have things I cannot give up, just as you do!

--Shut up! --I have things I cannot give up, too! That's why--

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! There's no way!

There's just no way!

Nobody knows the way.

I can't free him this way.

I...

I don't know what to do...

Isuzu-san!

I hate this. This is why I didn't want to get near her.

She's that type of person.

The type of person who makes me feel this.

Like that time before...

I wanted to burst into tears.

I wanted to run to her, let myself lie in her lap,

and surrender my heart to her.

I wanted to whine and complain about my weakness

like a kid going back to her mom to cry.

And then I might be forgiven...

I might be accepted.

I couldn't do that.

I'd feel bad for her.

People like me lean on, yearn for, and take advantage of kind people.

That's why I won't let you get involved.

I'm fine by myself. I'll keep running on my own.

I don't care if others don't understand.

I'm doing it right if others hate me.

I'm fine on my own.

Even though I was resolute about that...

Even though I decided I'd never cry...

Sorry!

I'm going to lean on you.

I'm so powerless...

I'm so weak...

Sorry.

I don't know what to do anymore!

I don't know!

I can't do anything on my own.

On my own...

It's scary to be by yourself.

It's scary to be on your own.

You can't get up on your own strength alone.

She should just let herself be cared for.

The important part is what you do after.

Will you keep letting yourself be cared for? Or...

We had something in common.

I realized there was one thing that Rin and I had in common.

The thing we yearned for.

Man, was I caught off guard.

She swung the IV at me when I tried to go visit.

What?!

Get out!

--Screech! Screech! --They kicked me out, claiming I was a detriment to the patient's health.

Are you hurt?

Nope. I'm just glad she was so lively.

Th-That's how you interpreted it?

Well, I'll keep visiting the hospital in hope that she'll stay put for a while.

So you don't have to worry anymore.

Yun-Yun! Our meeting's starting, so come to me quick!

Oh, oopsies, I meant come to the student council room.

I made a mistake! Sorry, Yun-Yun.

I'll be waiting, so come quick!

--Kill! --Kill!

I-I can't believe she said that over the PA system.

She's acting like your mistress who's goading the rest on.

So that kind of girl's your type, Yun-Yun?

Don't call me "Yun-Yun"!

Ooh, I found you! Yun-Yun, hurry and come to me!

Oh, oopsies! I made a mistake!

He really gets on my nerves!

Seriously! Don't broadcast a message like that if you could find me so quickly!

It took pretty long! I looked for a while.

--You don't have a cell phone, Yun-Yun. --Hey! Wait!

That's why we used the PA system. Get it?

I would've gone once it was time without your reminder!

Sheesh, so annoying! It's not like I was the one on the PA!

But it made me crack up!

Why're you getting mad at me?!

Please take care of Yuki.

Huh? Wh-What's this, all of a sudden?

Yessir, count on me to make your daughter happy.

Hey, what the heck are saying? Wanna get hit?

Go on, Yuki. You have a meeting, right?

--You should get going. --Huh? Oh, but...

Let's both put up a good fight.

Yeah.

I need to switch gears.

Oh, I wanted to ask, Yuki-kun.

I heard a rumor that we'll have a campfire and even fireworks

at this year's culture festival. Is it true?

No, it's not true.

Oh, I thought so.

Those ideas did come up as suggestions, but they're not feasible. Sorry.

Oh, no, it's okay.

Are they really not feasible?

--A-ya lit up the whole school, you know? --Now, my school! Be grandly illuminated!

Using my brother as an example doesn't help.

The electricity bill...

You've got to shell it out to be a romantic.

Oh, yeah? Like I care.

So your culture festival's coming up?

No, there's still a while, but I was planning ahead because of exams.

You can do it, student council president!

That smile gets under my skin.

Um, by the way, would you all like some after-dinner jello?

--I'll have some! --You made it?

Yes. I have orange, apple, and grapefruit.

You don't make this often.

You happen to visit Rin at the hospital?

Oh... Yes.

That's very perceptive of you.

I sorta just knew.

Seems like you guess right on everything about me these days.

Aren't you just too obvious?

I-I don't think that's true...

Not sounding very confident there.

--Was Rin...? --Yes?

Was Rin well when you went to visit her?

Specifically, did she swing an IV at you?

--What? --What?

N-No she didn't do such a thing.

No patient would do that. That's dumb.

She did!

However, she did seem well!

Right, but I must apologize about the whole situation with Rin.

We dragged you into our family matters. Sorry for the trouble.

What? Why'd you start eating already?!

I-It's no trouble at all!

Not at all! Never, by no means!

Thanks.

Allow me to feed you this jello as a token of my appreciation!

--Oi. --You creep!

--Here! Open wide, Tohru-kun! --Cut it out!

So agonized...

She so agonizingly clutched my hand, it was painful.

All I could do was hold her.

Even so...

You're not eating?

It's all foods I hate.

What foods don't you hate?

Jello.

She must... She must have taken it all upon herself for so long,

endured it on her own, tormented by the pain in her heart.

That's how she looked.

I'm coming in.

Isuzu-san?

You're here again?

How very adorable! I've never seen you with your hair tied up!

Oh, why would you?!

I only tied it up today because it got in the way during my checkup.

B-But it's a shame. You look so nice.

Oh, that reminds me! I brought jello.

You actually brought some? What an idiot.

I know it was bold of me, but I took it upon myself to make some.

I'll eat it later.

I don't like eating in front of others.

Okay! Do you mind if I use the refrigerator?

Let me guess why you came to see me.

Excuse me?

It's about the zodiac curse, isn't it?

--I'm sorry! --Huh?

I completely forgot about it!

I'm the worst. The very worst!

What's with you?

Akito-san told me.

That Akito-san's existence is equivalent to that of God,

and that all the zodiac members will live together with Akito-san.

Live in the same place, at the same pace.

Enduring.

Is that what the zodiac members call the curse?

Is that "bond" the curse?

It's not like we have memory of it,

but God and the zodiac members made a promise.

Probably long ago. Hundreds of years ago.

A promise to be together for eternity.

No matter how many times reborn,

to be together, never to be separated, to meet.

To be together forever and ever.

We're bound by that promise to this day.

Though we don't remember the promise, the blood of the zodiac spirit does.

It may appear to be a beautiful "bond" to an outsider,

but it's nothing but a chain if we feel burdened by it.

That's why it's a "curse."

Is there really no way to break the curse?

I don't even know if Akito knows how.

And there's no reason to tell me even if Akito did know.

I thought someone close to Akito might know.

But Gure-nii says he doesn't know, either.

How about Kureno-san?

Yes, Kureno-san might know--

He's no good. He's no use, since he only follows Akito's orders.

I don't consider him one of us.

Oh, dear. Please don't say that he's no good.

I'm just saying what's true.

But...

Goodbye.

I-I'm going to go see Kureno-san!

Don't get all worked up by yourself.

O-Okay. I'm sorry.

Will it break it like that?

Huh?

Why do you want to break the curse?

What is it that you can't give up?

What is it that's most precious to you?

That's...

You don't have to tell me...

Just don't go running off to see Kureno by yourself.

Well, if you're going to tell me not to overdo things on my own,

I say we should team up and become a duo! How about it?

I don't need an unreliable partner like you.

Huh? U-Um, I'll do my best. I'll do my best, so--

What is it that's most precious to you?

Why wouldn't my words come out?

Before, I would have answered right away.

Huh? This isn't Shigure-san's house.

Apartment... Yes, this is our apartment.

Where the two of us always lived. It's so nostalgic.

I'm going now, Tohru.

No.

Don't go!

You'll get... into an accident!

Don't go!

Come back!

Don't g--

Mom...

You hide what lies beyond the door from all others,

where you feel like you're silently edging towards... a breaking point.

If that happens, you can't recover.

I hope someone like him will come to her, too.

Just like Haru was there for me, someone who will gently open the door.

You can't help but yearn for someone like that.

It's tasty.

Because someone who knows how scary it is to be alone... can't help but love others.

Together, always...

"Are You Okay?"

Are you okay? "Are You Okay?"

"Are You Okay?"
