Yuuko?: ...Wishes. // Everyone who loses someone they held dear has a wish... // ...but a wish that can never be granted.

Flashback!Mokona: ...I want you to come back! // You mean so much to me!
Syaoran: The King and Queen made the decision not to tell Sakura about the seal. // After all, aside from the Queen, who was the priest of the country, and myself, nobody could see it. // And me... I stayed there, in Clow Country. / Always searching that world for a means to remove those black wings. // Always...

[no text just deja vu]

Syaoran: I'm home... / Mother, Father. // (...After hearing that there was a country where the people used a magical array very similar to the black seal, // I went to check it out, but... // I couldn't find any clues as to how to remove the seal from Sakura. // Nothing... again...) // Hello?

6
Sakura: Syaoran! // What was it like in the other country?! / Are you okay? / You don't have a fever or anything?!
Syaoran: No... / I'm just fine. // So, Princess -
Sakura: "Sakura". // I mean, I call you "Syaoran", don't I? // Call me by my name. / Okay?

7
Syaoran: I'm home... / Sakura.
Sakura: Welcome back! / Syaoran! // Thank you!
Syaoran: I brought these.
Sakura: What is it~?

8
Syaoran: It's a kind of food from the country I visited. / They're made from a fruit similar to the apples we have here.
Sakura: They're not much like payu, huh? / They look more like fal...
Syaoran: Yes, they taste similar, too. // They taught me to make them myself; I've tasted them, and I think they turned out okay...
[TN: *flashbacks to Holic* CLAMP really like cookery lately, don't they...]
Sakura: Thank you! // Can I try one?
Syaoran: Sure.
Sakura: It's delicious! // You really are good at cooking, Syaoran!

9
Sakura: When you'd been in this country for two years... / ...and you said you were going to go and live on your own... // ...I was worried at first, but I guess there was nothing to worry about. // Your father taught you to cook, right? He must have been really good, too...
Syaoran: Well, my mother cooked as well... / ...but my father was always better at it. // And also... // (Now I think about it... // It may have been because he knew that we weren't going to see one another again... / ...that he taught me how to use his techniques, and all the everyday necessities as well...)

10
Syaoran: (So that I would be able to make it on my own...)
Sakura: Syaoran?
Syaoran: ...No, it's nothing.
Sakura: I'm sorry... I know you've only just got back... / You must be tired...
Syaoran: No, it's fine. / I got to see you, after all.

11
Sakura: ...Since you first arrived back here in Clow Country... // ...and told me you'd come back to investigate that crest... / ...at the entrance to the ruins... / ...it's been a long time now, huh. // You know, it won't be long now... / ...before I've known you for more than half of my life.
Syaoran: ...Yeah, you're right.

12
Sakura: I've studied a lot since back then... // ...started dreaming a lot more than I ever used to, and... // I - / You know... // I...
[sFX: DA~~~NG / DO~~~NG]
Sakura: ......

13
Syaoran: That's the castle bells... // ...It's evening already.
Sakura: You know, hearing those bells... / ...it almost feels like it's my brother, getting in my way.
Syaoran: In your way?
Sakura: I have to head back now. // Else my brother will come and fetch me.
Syaoran: I'll walk you home.
Sakura: Oh, no...

14
Sakura: All the citizens of this country are wonderful people, so...
Syaoran: Yeah, you're right.
Sakura: Um... // Hey...

15
Sakura: My birthday's coming up pretty soon, you know... // What I was about to say just now... / It can wait until then, okay?

16
Sakura: So just wait for it!
[TN: Dammit, Sakura, don't tempt fate like that. Again. Even though chronologically this is before the other time. Meh.]
