[123-1]Sumire:--Hong Kong—

[123-2]Sumire:I always waited for him here, so nervously.

A subtle worry grows in my chest.

But she wasn’t at my apartment.

She didn’t call the office, either. . .

They found her, and she was really badly injured.

I was at the animal hospital. . .

[125-2]Hasumi:Yeah, I was checking up on her at the animal hospital.

She was critically hurt. . .so they wanted me there.

Uh. . .She was at the entrance to Namyangai. . .

The traffic was really bad, so I couldn’t get her attention.

[129-1]Coworker:By the way, Hasumi, when you go there, you should use a pseudonym.

Hasumi:Eh. . .Is she still working at that place. . .?
Coworker:She was there when we went last week, right, Fey-kun?

[134-6]Yuri:You’re going to see what for sure?

Sumire:Yuri-chan, I. . .

[135-1]Sumire:I love Momo

more than I love myself.

[135-2]Sumire:I can’t really explain it. . .but I feel like my feelings have died.

Since Momo’s been gone.

[135-3]Sumire:And. . .Hasumi-senpai. . .

Might have someone. . .like that, too. . .

Yuri:Heh!?

But it’s in a place where they sell some bad medicine. It’s too dangerous for a

guy like you.

[138-5]Woman:I can’t get ahold of Shiori, so I don’t know what’s going on.

Hasumi:Eh. . .?

[139-2]Hasumi:I have five hours before I have to meet with Iwaya-san. . .

Hasumi:. . .Eh?

[145-3]Sumire:Senpai. . .you’re not a very good liar.

So don’t push yourself. . .

[145-4]Sumire:I know. . .how you feel.

I’ve been. . .

lying to you, as well. . .

[146-1]Sumire:I want to stop deceiving everyone.

Hasumi:Why. . .

Lying. . .?
Sumire:Senpai. . .and myself.

[146-2]Sumire:There’s someone else who’s very important to me.

So I want to break up.

[147-1]Hasumi:I couldn’t understand what she meant.

All I knew

[147-2]Hasumi:was that we were over.

[147-3]Sumire:I wonder how good a lifetime together would be

Hasumi:I see. . .

[147-4]Sumire:if we let our feelings of love multiply.

Uh-oh. . .

I think I’m going to cry.

[148-1]Sumire:If we could live together as if in a dream, thinking only of each other,

[148-2]Sumire:free from the magic.

[148-3]Hasumi:I’m sorry. . .

that you had to be the one to say it. . .

[149-1]Sumire:. . .Is it okay. . .

to cry in front of you one last time?

[149-2]Sumire:We could never grow to hate each other.

[149-3]Sumire:No matter what happened, we always forgave.

[149-4]Sumire:We loved each other to the end.

And that’s why. . .

[150-1]Ran:Mama,

the song ended.

[150-2]Sumire:That’s why we had to end it.
