I let them die.

I thought, "That's sad, if it's really true."

But...

It's too late.

Akito-san?

It's the end. The end is coming.

I'm disappointed in you.

But what was worse in that moment...

The eyes half-hidden behind his coppery hair were screaming,

"I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm sad."

That was even sadder to me. It tugged at my heart...

...even more than my mom.

Will you throw me away?

Abandon me?

--Leave me behind? --Leave me behind?

The feeling of being left behind...

"Fruits Basket"

Shigure!

Hey there. Good morning!

On your way here, did you--

--You reek of booze! --Yep, I was drinking with my author buddies.

Drinking? All night?!

Just until the first morning train!

You're technically our guardian, so could you maybe moderate your--

No, Yuki, forget this creep!

Wow, rude.

Have you seen the idiot?! The idiot! On your way here!

The idiot? Oh, Kyo-kun!

No, I didn't.

He must've turned the other way.

What, did Kyo-kun do something?

I don't know the details, but...

That idiot.

How dare he make her cry?

Are you happy? You won.

You stole my whole place in the world. You made me the odd one out.

Everyone likes you.

Does that feel good?

The loneliness of being left behind...

Thanks to you, I'm alone!

A mistake.

The bad guy.

Does that feel good?!

I hate you!

Oh! I finally...

...see you.

You wreck my whole world and still get to be the "pure" one.

You're the dirtiest of us all!

Akito-san...

I finally found you!

Stay away! Stay away, you make me sick!

I hate how thoughtless I've been not to notice her.

Akito-san!

Stay away!

All this time...

You've been putting up a brave front because you've been lonely.

From the beginning...

Ever since she was born, she was treated as "special"--

someone who's not part of the circle, but above it.

But that's just like being abandoned.

The reason you keep talking about "eternity" and "unchanging" things...

...is because otherwise it's scary.

It's too scary to bear!

Shut up!

You know nothing! Are you looking down on me?!

I won't let you fool me or win me over!

I...

I...!

I'm dirty.

You're right, Akito-san.

The truth is, even as I rejected your eternity...

...I wished for the same things you did.

Unchanging feelings.

Bonds.

But...

Mom, I've fallen in love with someone.

I agonized over it... and he says he's disappointed in me...

...but I love him.

Even if he doesn't love me back,

I've decided not to stand still anymore.

I'm going on ahead, Mom.

People and feelings can't be bound down.

I think you've already realized that, haven't you?

And that's stung you all this time...

It's been sad, and painful, and lonely, hasn't it?

I don't want this!

No, no! I don't want to be left behind!

--Why?! --Aki--

I'm scared.

No! I don't want this!

I don't want this world!

I don't want a world where no one needs me,

a world full of strangers...

--Akito-san! --I'm done!

It's too late to realize that now!

I can't live with strangers now, without any promises or bonds or eternity!

I'm scared.

I can't live surrounded by strangers,

without any guarantee I'll be loved.

I can't...

I'm scared of the world.

In that case, Akito-san, could you begin with me?

Here. Now.

We met the wrong way.

Hello.

My name is Tohru Honda.

What's your name?

I'd like you to be my friend.

Liar!

You say that, but if I cry, you'll get sick of me right away!

If I complain, you'll get mad at me...

You'll stop liking me, and you'll throw me out of your life!

There you are.

I found you.

What's your name?

I'd like you to be my friend.

Don't cry anymore.

Some... Someone help!

Someone! Anyone! Someone come here!

Someone...

...help!

Akito-san, don't cry.

It's all right. It'll be all right.

All the scary times...

...are over.

Whoa.

You startled me.

Shi... gure...

H-Help. Please.

She fell! F-From the cl-cliff!

She's not moving. She's not moving.

What do I do? She's not moving. She's totally still.

Akito.

Calm down and tell me slowly.

Who fell?

Toh... Tohru.

Where did she fall?

There. Straight that way.

Shigure, I'm calling an ambulance. Meet it when it gets here!

What do we do? She won't move.

--Shigure, I-- --Did you push her?

N-No, I didn't!

But... I don't know.

But the ground crumbled.

It suddenly...!

But...

...I'm the one who stabbed Kureno.

Hello, Hatori?

It's me.

Did anything happen at the main estate?

Akito is here.

Yes, here.

I heard. How is he?

I see... No, actually we have an emergency here, too.

No, Akito's fine.

But Tohru-kun...

Yeah. She apparently fell off the cliff.

Right.

Yeah, I'll call you.

He says Kureno isn't dying.

Tohru...?

Don't touch her.

I... think she probably hit her head hard.

Wa-Wait.

Wait. This is wrong.

No, this isn't what I wanted!

Tohru... wait.

This is...!

Don't cry.

Don't cry anymore.

Who's crying?

Akito-san? Kyo-kun?

Oh, I have to chase Kyo-kun.

I have to tell him, too.

I love you so much...

I'm glad I met you.

Maybe all it brought you was pain, but... I'm happy we met.

Your awkward kindness made me happy.

Your smiling face, and your shy face... they both made me so happy.

And little by little, over time they became precious.

My treasures.

I chased you so desperately that day just because I was in love with you.

I love you, so I didn't want you to go anywhere.

Me being with you meant my feelings hurt you, but...

But don't cry anymore.

Just like the happy or fun times eventually end,

the scary or sad times end, too.

Always.

Even if you can't believe it at the time, please...

Please, keep living and don't give up.

I want you to live.

It's okay if you make mistakes or take the long way around.

But please, please live.

Don't give up on walking forward.

Please, just don't stop walking.

It's okay if I'm... if I'm not by your side.

Tohru?

It's all right.

It's... all right now.

Can you hear me?

Am I reaching you?

Please let me...

Never mind. It's okay now.

I get it. It's okay, so... just stay quiet.

...reach you.

"Soma General Hospital"

Thank you for everything. Go on home and leave the rest to us for tonight.

Yes, sir. I'll be back tomorrow.

Don't you skip school.

It would make her fret.

Bye.

Oh, wait.

Where's the redhead? Doesn't he know about this?

He's...

"Soma General Hospital"

Visiting someone?

Did you come alone?

Kureno, or Tohru?

I'm glad they're both all right.

I hear a lot happened after you left.

Akito... are you okay now?

They should blame me.

Get angry, or complain, or something.

Why don't they? Are they idiots?

If they forgive me no matter what I do or say to them,

that's more than softhearted or naïve--it's just idiotic.

They're hopeless idiots.

Good thing, right?

You're "not guilty" of your crimes thanks to those two being idiots.

So that's good for you, right?

Idiots are useful.

Why are you crying?

I wondered what Kureno would do if I answered, "Not yet."

Would he decide to be with me again?

I got the feeling he would.

Kureno struck me as that kind of person.

Hopelessly soft and kind.

Just always kind.

And for a long time, I've...

...been killing him.

It stings. I'm so bitter at myself.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

My meaningless apologies didn't change anything,

but he just listened and accepted them.

Why was I only capable of hurting someone like that?

Then treasure them from now on.

Even if other people think they're idiots, as long as you don't...

...then just treasure them and take care of them.

That's all.

This is just like the idiotic traveler.

It's a story.

Want to hear it?

Once you hear it...

...you'll definitely want to go see Tohru.

Wow, so Akito really did go to the hospital alone.

That's progress. Maybe the stabbing spree was cathartic?

I assume there was an encounter with Honda-kun, too.

Yeah... seems like it...

She sat down. Not far away, or somewhere above me...

She sat next to me. Nearby.

She started talking to me.

"There you are," she said.

Did everything go according to your plan?

Huh?

Oh... Yeah, I guess so.

I'm feeling a little remorseful about parts of it.

"A little"?

Come on, Haa-san, baby steps!

Now I sorta see what the point of "meeting someone halfway" would be.

It's progress, really!

"I Just Love Her"

I just... love her. "I Just Love Her"

"I Just Love Her"
