Chapter 140
[insert text: Everybody is trying their very best... // ...to do what they can do.]

2
Sakura: What is it? // Are you hurt?
Watanuki: No... It's not really...
Sakura: If it hurts, don't try to ignore it.

3
Sakura: Although I can't do anything... // Tell me. // At least let me worry.
Watanuki: Is there someone who wouldn't let you worry?

4
Sakura: If what I saw in the dream came to pass, then... // Right now, Fai-san...
Watanuki: You must have had a painful dream.
Sakura: I only saw it. // But Fai-san has always been surrounded by that pain. // For a long, long time... all on his own.

5
Sakura: Fai-san had many things that he could not tell us, // but I believe in Fai-san, with all his kind lies. // Right now, my heart cannot be there, / but my body is in that world, // close to Fai-san, and so... // If with my choice, I managed to change the future, // My body should become the opportunity for Fai's forgotten past / to be remembered.

6
Watanuki: All the travellers should be there, too. // "Syaoran"-kun should be with them, right? // The one who came to Yuuko-san's shop later on...
Sakura: I had a dream in "Tokyo". // I caused "Syaoran"-kun nothing but sadness...
Watanuki: Was that too so that you could change the future?

7
Sakura: Because until the moment when the future could be changed, I could do nothing but continue on as the dream had showed... // But... / Even so... // That doesn't change the fact that I hurt "Syaoran"-kun.
Watanuki: ...Sakura-chan. // If I am similar to "Syaoran"-kun...

8
Watanuki: He must know that you aren't the sort of person who would just move ahead hurting people. // And if, somehow, there was a misunderstanding, / I think he'd just want you to tell the truth.
Sakura: ...You really are alike. / You and "Syaoran"-kun.
Watanuki: Is that so... // Even though my face, height and voice are completely different.

9
Sakura: Your heart is alike. // You told me... // Your birthday is April the first.
Watanuki: ...yes.
Sakura: My birthday is the same, and Syaoran-kun's is the same too. // And so is yours.
Watanuki: The characters in my name, as well. "April the first". / Though they're read as "Watanuki". // Although my parents' name...

10
Watanuki: My... parents'...... name.....

11
Watanuki: Their... name...

12
[Text: Don't disappear]

13
Watanuki: ....ah... // A dream... // again?
Doumeki: Go home. // Go home and sleep.
Watanuki: ....Doumeki.

14
Watanuki: ...I... // I don't know the names... / of my mother or father...
[side text: The message of "Don't disappear"; the parents' names that he can't recall. Where is this deepening mystery, this endless illusion, leading Watanuki?!]
