<0001> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I guess for the time being I'll be busy."

<0002> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Both during the morning and after school."

<0003> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "There's a lot of things I have to do."

<0004> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Did you know that there are a lot of meetings in this school, \m{B}?"

<0005> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "A lot of students come there as committee members."

<0006> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Everyone seems to be full of spirit."

<0007> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "The moment these people gather really isn't all that overwhelming."

<0008> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What is overwhelming though is when they talk."

<0009> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Everyone's doing their best for the school."

<0010> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "We meet in this committee to discuss topics and decide what will happen from then on."

<0011> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "It's a bit difficult, but quite important."

<0012> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "That part's what's tough. Make one mistake, and you'd have to take responsibility."

<0013> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You can't make any mistakes."

<0014> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Why?"

<0015> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You don't have any background. That's just how I feel."

<0016> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You can't miss a step on your road anymore."

<0017> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You have to walk straight ahead."

<0018> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "To begin with, if only you weren't so wild..."

<0019> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It could have come to this a lot earlier."

<0020> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "A lot of people think highly of you, eager to see how you respond..."

<0021> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "At this point, your status should be outrageously high now."

<0022> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're as close to that sort of person as it gets."

<0023> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The one the people chose... was someone endowed with charisma since birth."

<0024> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's why, you can't falter anymore and have to walk straight ahead."

<0025> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You have to hold your head high..."

<0026> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "No... it's nothing like that for me."

<0027> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Besides..."

<0028> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "The way you're talking \m{B}... is kind of lonely."

<0029> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "It's as if you're saying... \wait{300}I should be walking alone."

<0030> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0031> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Why... why aren't you denying that?"

<0032>
// ... I'm different from you.

<0033>
// Me, who is always in the same place...

<0034>
// And Tomoyo, who walks towards that high place.

<0035>
// And the two of us are together like this.

<0036>
// How... sad this is.

<0037>
// Without a doubt, waiting through the days ahead are going to be painful.

<0038> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "You're... with me, \m{B}, right?"

<0039> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... I want to..."

<0040> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's all I'm saying..."

<0041>
// And for me... to let this continue on...

<0042> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Yeah... be with me. Always."

<0043>
// Being dragged down by an incompetent man...

<0044>
// Tomoyo... continues to believe in that.

<0045>
// Tomoyo 

<0046>
// Being with me, there weren't a lot of students who called Tomoyo.

<0047> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "So you were here all this time?"

<0048> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What is it?"

<0049> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "It's about this morning... as always, another claim showed up."

<0050> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I see..."

<0051> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "For now, come with me."

<0052> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "No..."

<0053> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Hmm?"

<0054> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I'll leave it to you."

<0055> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Ehh?"

<0056> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I won't say it again. I said I'm leaving it to you."

<0057> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "How can you joke at a time like this?!"

<0058> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Go."

<0059>
// The two of them look at me at the same time as I force my way in.

<0060> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Go, council president."

<0061> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What, \m{B}? Is that... sarcasm?"

<0062> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No, it's the truth."

<0063> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're the council president. Is anything wrong with that?"

<0064> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "No... that's right..."

<0065> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "But, what about you...?"

<0066> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "This is not the time to talk carelessly with a guy, Sakagami." Riddle

<0067> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Y-yeah..."

<0068> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "\m{B}..."

<0069>
// The last face Tomoyo shows me as she leaves.

<0070>
// The wrinkles in her eyebrows... showed a painful face.

<0071> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "... sorry."

<0072> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't worry about it."

<0073> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "........."

<0074>
// The male student kept giving unpleasant eyes up until the end.

<0075>
// No matter how much time Tomoyo had, she'd cut it up so there'd be time for the two of us.

<0076>
// She always tried to make sure that I liked her...

<0077>
// For me to answer that takes a lot of time...

<0078>
// And then, gradually...

<0079>
// We were embraced by anxiety between the two of us.

<0080> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Aren't you busy?"

<0081> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I'll be fine."

<0082> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You shouldn't force yourself."

<0083> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What's that mean...?"

<0084> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "It's like you're saying you don't want us to meet..."

<0085> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No one's saying that, you know."

<0086> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "........."

<0087> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I'm sorry..."

<0088> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's okay..."

<0089> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "........."

<0090> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yo, you guys!"

<0091> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0092> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What, it's you, Sunohara..."

<0093> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Somehow it feels really boring around here."

<0094> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Maybe you're getting bored?"

<0095> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Really...?"

<0096> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't ask me."

<0097> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "You don't have to deny it, you know."

<0098> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Having said that, I'm not doubting you."

<0099> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It just feels like that all of a sudden."

<0100> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "No, I don't really feel that at all."

<0101> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I've always liked \m{B}."

<0102> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Going out with him is the same as liking him."

<0103> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0104>
// For her to say that in front of me... what is it exactly...?

<0105> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, he's an asshole after all!"

<0106> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "If I swapped places with him, you'd probably forget about that, no?"

<0107> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "You better say that's a joke in 0.1 seconds. If not I'll kick you."

<0108> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's a jo..."\wait{100} 

<0109> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Like I can say that!"

<0110> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Isn't that a challenge for you? Say it before I do." *

<0111> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What a brutal person!"

<0112> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Anyways..."

<0113> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "In the end, you guys are well suited for each other."

<0114> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, let's go grab something to bite, I'm starved."

<0115> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's on me, okay? You'll feel a lot better."

<0116>
// Tomoyo and I exchange glances.

<0117> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Come on, walk, you guys."

<0118>
// As we stood still there, Sunohara pushes our backs.

<0119>
// The following week, I was called again by the teacher in charge of our year.

<0120>
// This time it was just me.

<0121> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "She has a future."

<0122> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "It's a very bright one."

<0123> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "She's different from you."

<0124> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "I'm not saying that you're not suited for her at all."

<0125> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "I'm just saying that so you understand what kind of student she is."

<0126>
// He's completely changed from before, speaking in a kind tone as to persuade me.

<0127> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "But, being with her is not good for her at all."

<0128> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "She's progressing on a different path."

<0129> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "That's all."

<0130>
// ... I already know that.

<0131>
// Even if you didn't tell me.

<0132>
// That thought repeats in my head many, many times...

<0133>
// Because I'm continuing to be with Tomoyo...

<0134> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "For some reason, I don't exactly know why she..."

<0135> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "Though, having said that, it's being quite rude to you..."

<0136> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "Exactly how is it that girl seems to like you?"

<0137> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "That's why I brought you here to have this discussion."

<0138> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0139> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "To begin with..."

<0140> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "What about you?"

<0141> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "Do you want to be with her?'

<0142> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0143>
// I nod lightly.

<0144> \{Giáo Viên} ""
// \{Teacher} "I see..."

<0145>
// He takes a deep breath, holding his chin with his hand.

<0146>
// And suddenly, it felt like everything around me had become a threat.

<0147>
// Everyone was holding Tomoyo up.

<0148>
// As a plague, I clung onto her legs.

<0149>
// Tomoyo was pulling me up with her hands.

<0150>
// But, because I was such a burden, it was impossible to do anything.

<0151>
// While I was at Sunohara's room during the night, Tomoyo gave me a phone call.

<0152>
// Probably about how we weren't able to be together yesterday and today.

<0153>
// Tomoyo first apologized about that.

<0154> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I really don't want this to fall apart."

<0155> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I know."

<0156> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "\m{B}..."

<0157> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What are you angry about... please tell me."

<0158> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"

<0159> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I could see you've been angry all this time?"

<0160> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm not."

<0161> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "No, you are."

<0162> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Why do you think that?"

<0163> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Because... I feel like I've been pushed away."

<0164> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's your imagination."

<0165> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "We didn't... even kiss..."

<0166> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Is that all...?"

<0167> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "You didn't lose interest in me, did you...?"

<0168> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "That's why I'm saying if you're... really like that now..."

<0169> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Though I think... that's a bit too much..."

<0170>
// I wonder what kind of face Tomoyo had as she talked to me through the phone?

<0171>
// I couldn't imagine Tomoyo's face, complaining like this.

<0172> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Tell me, \m{B}... what's bothering you? Please tell me."

<0173>
// For Tomoyo to be this desperate... I must have changed.

<0174>
// She hasn't noticed.

<0175>
// But, that was... not her fault.

<0176> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's not your fault."

<0177>
// That's why I only said that.

<0178> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Then, what's that... what's not my fault?"

<0179> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0180> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Please tell me, I'll support you."

<0181>
// She said that just for me.

<0182>
// Without a doubt, no matter what kind of problem it was, if Tomoyo were here she'd fight it.

<0183> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... but, it's difficult to say."

<0184> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Why, at this time?"

<0185>
// Tomoyo's voice was bright, wondering if she should leave it be, since she knows it's not her fault.

<0186> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I'm your girlfriend, so open up and consult me."

<0187> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I've always been reliant on you."

<0188> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Yeah, I'm confident I won't lose to any man's girlfriend at all."

<0189> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, well, it's a bit embarrassing, so forget it."

<0190> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Why is it embarrassing?"

<0191> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Wait... somehow I think I know."

<0192> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How?"

<0193> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I guess it really is my fault..."

<0194> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"

<0195> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Well you said it was difficult to say, and it was embarrassing, that's what it means, right?"

<0196>
// Though what was said was good enough to deceive her...

<0197> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "And I know we didn't kiss either..."

<0198> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "And then you're sulking..."

<0199>
// She understands it by herself.

<0200> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I guess you really are a lech, \m{B}."

<0201>
// ... She was completely off.

<0202> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I suppose I should think about that a little."

<0203>
// I'm sure she's thinking... that I'm not happy about not having kissed her...

<0204>
// She's probably scorning herself, doing that.

<0205>
// If I deny it, she'll probably try to pry out another reason, so I'll let her continue on...

<0206> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "However though, I'm glad I got to talk with you, \m{B}."

<0207> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Same here."

<0208> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I think you and I are a good match, \m{B}."

<0209> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, I guess."

<0210> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Yup, I definitely feel that way."

<0211> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "That's why..."

<0212> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I want to feel confident."

<0213> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0214> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."

<0215> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's both do that."

<0216> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Yup!"

<0217>
// The next day was Saturday, as the afternoon meant the end of classes.

<0218>
// I'm at the bottom of the hill.

<0219>
// I promised to wait for her here.

<0220>
// I patiently waited for her to come down.

<0221>
// The number of students coming home wore thin now.

<0222> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Hey, you."

<0223>
// One of them talks to me all of a sudden.

<0224>
// A familiar face...

<0225>
// The one who knew Tomoyo... probably someone from the council.

<0226> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Where's Sakagami?"

<0227>
// And then, I remember the tone of voice he shared now.

<0228>
// We met a long while back.

<0229>
// Yeah, when I was suspended, this was the guy who talked to me at the bottom of the hill.

<0230> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "As always, you don't seem to be reserved towards your seniors."

<0231> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "I told you not to be so picky."

<0232> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm just surprised that your attitude hasn't changed since you entered the council."

<0233> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "I'm not really confident that there are people who can change like that."

<0234> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I guess so..."

<0235> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "So, where's Sakagami?"

<0236> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Dunno."

<0237> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "You sure?"

<0238> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0239>
// I remain silent, with just my eyes acknowledging that.

 <0240 \{Nam Sinh} "">
// \{Male Student} "But, I'd have thought you two would be together from here on out, no?"

<0241> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I dunno."

<0242> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "You're standing in a place like this, aren't you?"

<0243> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Probably thinking of nothing more than her."

<0244> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0245> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "It's alright. You don't have to answer."

<0246> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "But in return, let me wait here as well."

<0247> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't."

<0248> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Why?"

<0249> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It feels disgusting to wait in the same place with a guy."

<0250> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Well, don't say that."

<0251>
// The man does as he pleases, getting in the way and standing beside me.

<0252> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Today there was a bit of a mess, you know?"

<0253>
// He looked ahead, saying that.

<0254> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Because Sakagami disappeared, a lot of problems came up."

<0255> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Everyone held a discussion about what sort of policy to implement."*

<0256> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student}"But, the council president wasn't around so we couldn't start anything."

<0257> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Even now, the situation's getting worse and worse."

<0258> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "It will probably end up becoming Sakagami's fault."

<0259> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0260> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "It's quite regrettable since she's so popular."

<0261> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "If we began a meeting with someone who isn't around to hear it, no one will hear anything."

<0262> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Unfortunately it seems she also have things she wants."

<0263> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "More accurately, she's benefiting from everyone's loss."

<0264> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "And, not caring, everyone gets the short end of the stick as a result." *

<0265> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "I'm sure no one can see her being like this, I'm sure." 

<0266> \{Nam Sinh} ""

<0699> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Guess so."

// One month passes... two months...

<0719>
// Summer comes...

<0720>
// I continue, always being an idiot with Sunohara.

<0721>
// The summer holidays begin. As always, Sunohara with no sense of the seasons brings a TV into the room.

<0722> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I'll really look, okay?"

<0723>
// He held a video tape in his hand.

<0724> \{\m{B}} ""

<0729>
// It was a TV videotape.

<0730>
// What played back was a mixture of various senior students in different school uniforms.

<0731>
// On the stage stood a person.

<0732>
// She had solemn attitude and had long hair.

<0733>
// I could tell by the silouette... it was Tomoyo.

<0734>
// But, there was one thing I wasn't used to seeing there.

<0735>
// She was wearing glasses.

<0736> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Oh yeah, she's been wearing that recently."

<0737> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Doesn't it match her?"

<0738>
// I didn't even bother to answer him without looking. But, my eyes wouldn't come off the screen.

<0739>
// Tomoyo brings the microphone to herself, and opens her mouth.

<0740> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "--I bite the bullet in order to prevent the loneliness."

<0741> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "If we hadn't known the row of cherry trees would have been gone, we wouldn't have found fortune given by them."

<0742> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Because we all did nothing, except for making the grade by might and main."

<0743> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What language is that?"

<0744>
// Her entire speech was in English.

<0745>
// That's the kind of class she was in, wasn't she? 

<0746>
// At the end, she won a large trophy.

<0747>
// She smiled.

<0748>
// Her smile, \preached far.

<0749>
// Simply by them just listening in to her speech.

<0750>
// That is, Tomoyo, speaking not as our school's student council president.

<0751>
// As expected... she managed to gain the confidence of all the students.

<0752>
// Beginning from the day she broke up with me...

<0753>
// Tomoyo began walking without looking back...

<0754>
// Firmly and sincerely doing that, she attracted a lot of people...

<0755>
// From her class, to her school year, and from there to the entire school, her popularity became widespread.

<0756>
// And, in the form of this TV broadcast, her existence became popular across the country.

<0757>
// She was the person of the moment in our school.

<0758>
// And... I felt strange as an outsider, listening in to Tomoyo's speech yet again.

<0759>
// Yes, I could only feel strange about it all.

<0760>
// About how I had spent time together with her.

<0761>
// Finding it amusing, I gave a smile...

<0762>
// It was a miracle.

<0763>
// I wonder if she were here, what kind of face would she put on, and what would she say right now?

<0764>
// The student council president, of this preparation school.

<0765>
// Her test marks were always the highest in her year.

<0766>
// Everyone was there for her...

<0767>
// Even the television reports made her a celebrity.

<0768>
// For me to say anything would be just as good as a foreigner's.

<0769>
// Without meeting her, I couldn't discuss anything at all.

<0770>
// Even my common sense had slipped.

<0771>
// I wonder why such a pair like us was together?

<0772>
// In that span of that long... long month.

<0773>
// It really is a strange story.

<0774>
// Half a year passed... \pwinter came.

<0775>
// Without anyone's face bothering me... I predicted my own future.

<0789>
// Sunohara will be heading to his hometown starting today.

<0790>
// To go job hunting.
