Thanks for everything, everyone

33-2 Today the two of us have brought a close to our lives

34-1 Bridge

34-2 No good. High risk of failure.
I don't want it to hurt

34-3 Car

34-4 People will be grossed out
There might be grade school kids

34-5 We've thought of lots of ways, but it's complex

Eeeh?
That's why
I really don't want to end up in an newspaper article complaining about how we held up 300 commuters

34-6 ...so, the wrist, after all?

Yeah. I don't want to splatter myself all over
It sucks to have to rely on him to clean up [italicize "him"]

35-1 Dad died back before
We were able to call him dad

A new dad came along, and after a while, mom left us and took off. Back when we were in elementary school.

35-2 Me and Michi are twins, but
We're completely different

35-3 "Dad" was lucky

35-4 Why wouldn't he be?
He took turns having fun with us

35-5 ...let's go home and take a bath
Before "dad" gets home

And then wear our favorite outfits?

36-2 Fourteen years, huh...
It's pretty short, hm?

...really?
I wonder

36-3 Yaaawn

sfx: click clack

36-4 I'm really sleepy. I wonder why...
Rina, can I sleep in the train?

Sure. Lean on me.

36-5 Michi really sleeps a lot nowadays

And I'm an insomniac too

Am I just carefree?
What is it?

37-2 I think the one-piece you bought at Pinki looks the best on you, Michi

What should I do?
What's better, the blue cami or the the white knit with the logo?

37-3 I think the yellow one you loaned me is good

37-5 Well, whichever. The blood will get on it.

38-1 Back when mom was still with us

38-2 We'd all take baths together. That was the most fun.

Sis, you promised you wouldn't say that
Hehe

38-4 ...Michi

I'm so glad you are here

38-5 Hey,
Our lives have sucked till now

But since you were here, we've managed to have some fun

38-6 Me too

39-2 Was there

Something you wanted to eat,
or something you wanted to do

39-3 I haven't had anything like that in a long time

39-4 Rina, you too, right?

40-1 "Rina, you too, right?"

40-2 "Yeah"

40-3 ...really?

Real soon now. You sure it's ok? [under black panels]

40-4 What's with me?
I'm not scared at all, so...

40-5 Because Michi is with me?

Ah

41-1 Michi!

41-2 What's wrong?

...a stain

41-3 Ah... Must have been when I borrowed it.
Sorry

Geez
Look, Michi
Before that it was the skirt,
Well, it's ok, but

41-5 Next time
Be careful, ok?

42-1 ...Rina?

You really ready to die?

Next time...
There's no "next time"

You get it?

42-5 I don't wanna die, so what can I do?

43-3 The end of summer vacation

44-1 Eh?

Your period?

44-2 Yeah...

No way
That's great!
Congratulations!

44-3 As if to reject being adulthood

Our periods were later than most

While all the girls in our class were becoming adults

I was so worried that my body would change into something different than normal people's

44-4 Rina...

44-5 It's nothing to celebrate!

I-I can get pregnant now, maybe

Right?
What am I going to do?

45-2 It is something to celebrate

It shows you're alive and growing

45-3 All the girls who said "my mom made sekihan and it pissed me off" can eat shit [sekihan is red beans cooked with rice. It's made for celebratory occasions. Traditionally made when a girl gets her first period]

They believe that parents should, of course! love their children

They get pissed when the love doesn't go the way they want

Michi

I

Really was

Happy

46-1 Let's run away

46-2 Yeah!
If we say something, someone will help us out!

It's gotta be better than how it is now

46-3 Wha

46-4 What the hell are you talking about?
Talk to who?

"Dad" uses us as his toys, right down to our buttholes, right?

46-5 No way!
I don't wanna admit that!
If people know that

47-1 I'd rather die

47-3 If you hadn't said that back then, Michi
I would have never thought to kill myself

But
I've always been thinking of how to escape outta here

48-1 Why do we have to die!?
We should just kill him!
But you don't want to...

'cause you're scared, Michi

48-2 So it's my fault?

48-3 It's 'cause you're here, Michi
That I can fight to protect you

But

Because Michi is here
I can't be free

49-2 Slide slide

49-3 Do I think

That Michi is in my way?

49-4 If Michi wasn't here, I'd be outta here like a shot

But if Michi wasn't here, I would have gone insane way faster

50-1 I'm sorry

I'm sorry, Rina

It's always been tough for me too, every single day
But we can't escape. If things were to get worse, even a bit, I wouldn't be able to stay sane

I'm more scared of things ending up worse than running away
I wanted to stay here, splitting the pain with you, Rina

I
I knew you couldn't leave me, so I used that to prevent you from going

51-1 So sleepy...

51-2 Michi?

51-3 Sorry, I gotta sleep a little

When I wake up, I can do it by myself, ok?

51-4 Rina, you go
I'm sorry to leave you alone...

Hey...
Don't do this. What are you saying now?

51-5 Ah, it's no good

She's got no more will to live

Michi...

Her body
Is running away from life

52-3 Sorry, Michi

52-4 Clatter

52-5 Bang
Rummage

52-6 Slam

53-2 Clomp clomp clomp

53-3 Slam

54-2 Dad, up in heaven

54-3 If you were alive, Dad, this wouldn't have happened, huh?

(It pisses me off a little)

But

But thanks to you, I've lived with with someone more important to me since our birth.

54-4 That person, Michi, is saying "it's over"

But neither Michi or myself have even begun anything

So nothing can be over

That's how it is

Can I

Believe that?

55-2 For what I know
We might just be setting back our deaths a little

Michi

Mmm

Hang in there.
Stay awake until the station

Even if we really suffer, maybe finding another "dad" is the best we can do

55-3 I might think

So sleepy...

C'mon!

That Michi is a burden rather than a support

54-1 But, look

I had no idea the car was going to come out of nowhere like that

54-2 And the moon tonight is so pretty
