Kurogane: Where am I...? / Those guys...

6
Tomoyo: This is Nihon Country. // Your fellow travellers who arrived alongside you... / ...are also here in Shirasagi Castle.
Kurogane: Tomoyo-hime......

7
Kurogane: ...right?
Tomoyo: Indeed. // Welcome home, Kurogane.

Kurogane: That voice back then...
Tomoyo: That was my voice.
Flashback!Tomoyo: Go!

11
Bubble: "I want him to leave with me." // ... // If that is your heartfelt wish, // then you must leave something containing that man's own magical power in exchange.

12
Tomoyo: Back then, // you took wounds from which even my protective seal could not fully protect you. You were on the verge of death. // When one is about to die, one dreams.
Kurogane: So you came through that dream to tell me how to get him out of there?
Tomoyo: That technique was using the one who initiated it as its "core".

13
Tomoyo: As a result, the initiator was unable to leave the sealing space. // However, // since he had expended all of his power in allowing you to escape,
Kurogane: My arm, which contained some of his power, became the replacement.

14
Tomoyo: Have you come to understand true strength?
Kurogane: ...Who knows.

15
Kurogane: But I guess my strength has decreased. / I killed a man.
Tomoyo: ......
Kurogane: ...Had you already seen it in a dream? // That if I killed him, things would work out like this...

16
Tomoyo: I had wished that it would not turn out that way.
Kurogane: ...And that's why you said this was a "curse"?
Tomoyo: You are not going to say "You should have told me"?
Kurogane: One who doesn't know... / ...can't understand the pain of the one who knows but can't tell. // That's not going to change just by laying out blame.

17
Tomoyo: ...Kurogane...
Kurogane: By the way... I don't regret throwing away my arm back then. // I... always wanted to get stronger. // So that I could stop the things that are precious to me from being stolen away again.

18
Kurogane: But then... // Having power can also invite disaster. // And so... just having power alone... // ...isn't enough to protect some things.

19
Tomoyo: ...It would seem... // ...that you have finally learned the meaning of true strength.

20
Tomoyo: My apologies for keeping you waiting. / Please, feel free to come inside.

21
Kurogane: Oi.

[WIN.]

Fay: Now we're even... / "Kuro-sama".
Kurogane: ...I'm gonna kick your ass, ya know.
