Yano... Yano: I love you. Rinka: % It's not a dream. pg 68 Rinka: % It's not a dream... Rinka: Thank you...Yano. Thank you... Just this...is enough. Yano: Hikawa? Rikna: If you return my feelings... Yano: Hikawa... pg 69 Yano: I already told Kiriko how I felt. I told you, didn't I? To quit giving up. Hikawa... You taught me that. pg 70 Rinka: % Whether he'd dumped me... % Accepted my feelings... % Returned them... % There was one thing I could never give up on. % "I love Yano." % That one thing... Yano: Don't give up. pg 71 Rinka: That's right... Rinka: % The most important thing to me now... % Are my feelings for Yano. Yano: I'm...quitting school. Rinka: Huh... Yano: I won't be able to get along with the students. It's not a place where I belong anymore. Rinka: Yano...no... pg 72 Rinka: You're just going to decide it like that...?! For my sake...no...it'll be so hard for you... Yano: It will...be hard. But it's what I've chosen to do. Because the most important thing is you. pg 73 Rinka: % Yano...!! pg 74 Yano: Let's talk to your parents. And Kiriko...one more tim- Rinka: I'll... I'll tell them myself. I've decided...! Rinka: ?! Kiriko: O...h. Rinka... pg 75 Rinka: Oneechan?! Wait...! Rinka: % The one who's been running away all this time...was always % me. % Because I didn't want to see you get hurt, Oneechan... % But I want... % Just this one thing...! Kiriko: Don't follow me!! pg 76 Kiriko: I don't want to look at you!! Rinka: Oneechan... I... pg 77 Rinka: I want one thing more than anything else. I won't give up on Yano anymore. Kiriko: Rinka...so you chose Takeshi, too. And Takashi...chose Rinka. Why Rinka...? Why wasn't I good enough...? pg 78 Kiriko: I know. I can say things like, "I already cried over it." Or, "Takashi won't turn back to me." But... I can't smile and congratulate you! It hurts to watch you, Rinka! ...someday, I might be able to handle it, but... But... I can't, not now! Leave me alone...! I can't live under the same roof as you, and act like we're sisters like before! I don't WANT to!!! pg 79 Rinka: % Just that one thing...one thing that I chose... % It hurt her. Label: Yano Yano: Hikawa. Rinka: Until...Oneechan can handle this... I can't see you, Yano. pg 80 Yano: Just by us staying apart... It won't make up for it. What we did to Kiriko won't change. Rinka: I know! I know, but...! Yano: And you don't know how long it'll be, right? Rinka: Right... But I can't do anything else for her. There's nothing else to do...!! Yano: Will you wait...? Rinka: ...yeah. pg 81 Yano: Then I'll wait, too. Rinka: Yeah... Girls: Did you hear about those two, yesterday? I couldn't believe it! Wow, are you serious? Guy: They called Yano into the principal's office. I guess he quit after all. ...oh. Guy: But he did that to Tetsuta and all! When Tetsuta got hurt, it was all Yano's- Tetsuta: Shut up! ...you're wrong. pg 82 Tetsuta: I was the one who hurt Yano. None of it...was Yano's fault. Tetsuta: Yano-sen... Yano: $ ...I've got friends in Kyoto, so I'm going there to teach $ cram school. pg 83 Rinka: Kyo...to... Yano: $ ...you'll wait? Rinka: Yeah. I'm waiting... pg 84 Yuu: This isn't like you!! What happened to the old, self-confident Kiriko? Kiriko: Leave me alone, Yuu. It doesn't matter... Yuu: Quit putting yourself down. It's stupid! ...you know the truth, don't you? Kiriko. It wasn't anything like, "Rinka was the better one," or "you weren't good enough." It was just that for Yano, the one who got lucky...the one who was always in the right place at the right time... ...was Rinka. pg 85 Tetsuta: ...huh?! You're not going to see Yano...? What's that all about?! Rinka: It's true. Tetsuta: Then why...? You both finally fell in love with each other, so why are you holding back now?! Rinka: I... I do want to see him. Yano: $ You'll wait? pg 86 Yano: $ I'll wait, too... Mana: Happy birthday, Rinka! Rinka: % I've turned fifteen. % Yano... Rinka: Mom? What's this suitcase doing here? Is someone going on a trip? Mom: That's.... Rinka, didn't Kiriko tell you? Kiriko said she'd tell you about going to school overseas herself... pg 87 Kiriko: $ I can't live under the same roof as you, and act like we're $ sisters like before! $ I don't WANT to!!! Rinka: % Oneechan's...leaving... % The one thing I chose... % For it to turn out like this... Kiriko: $ ...Rinka. Happy birthday, Rinka. Kiriko: Rinka. pg 88 Kiriko: I have to talk to you, Could...you come out for a bit? I'm going to America...for two years. The new school year starts in September, but if I get there fast, I'll be ready. I got the idea from Yuu- he used to live there when he was little, after all. Ah...it's red. (I'm so unlucky.) ...I... I can't think of you as my younger sister anymore, Rinka. pg 89 Kiriko: Because when we fell in love with him...with the same person... We stopped being older sister and younger sister, didn't we? pg 90 Kiriko: We became two women. Special ones. See- the light's green! Rinka: % Oneechan. Kiriko: Go on. pg 91 Kiriko: Take...take care of Rinka...! This is your birthday present from me this year, Rinka! pg 92 Rinka: YANO...!! pg 93 Rinka: % When I was little, I cried because I wanted them so badly. % ...those red shoes. % But what I want now is... % I only want... Book: Red Shoes pg 94 Book: "She knew that if she were to possess them, it would hurt someone." "But she wanted them." Rinka: % No matter what... % No matter what... % The crystal of my love in fourteen... pg 95 Rinka: % Is in my hand now. % ...that's my "Real love in 14". THE END
