[insert text: The more love they gave / the more hope would remain. // Now all that is left for them to do / is to believe...]

2
Syaoran: ...It's been five days now since I came to this world... // (I've been shown around this country quite a bit over these last few days. // It's the very embodiment of peace. // Everybody seems so happy...)

3
Flashback!Someone: Prince!
Flashback!Touya: Hey.
Flashback!Someone: Give this apple to the Princess for me, will you? // She's still doing her purification, right? // It's an important ceremony and all, but it sure must be tough... // But still, it'll be over soon. / It's just until her birthday.
Flashback!Syaoran: Birthday?
Flashback!Yukito: Yes, Sakura-hime's.
Flashback!Syaoran: ...I see...
Flashback!Yukito: Sakura's undergoing purification in preparation for her birthday ceremony. // Her seventh birthday.

4
Flashback!Yukito: Once that ceremony is over, / Sakura-hime will officially be a candidate for becoming a priest of the ruins.
Flashback!Someone: Take this apple, too, please! // Sakura-hime just loves apples, after all! // And her birthday is going to be a festival! // We have to pull out all the stops and really celebrate! // Look forward to it, okay?

5
Flashback!Touya: Thank you.
Flashback!Kid: Hey, hey... / Who're you?
Flashback!Touya: A little freeloader at the palace.
Flashback!Kid: Oh, I see... // Clow Country is a great place, you know!!
Flashback!Syaoran: Yes, I agree.

6
Syaoran: (...This country... / ...and everybody here in the castle... I care for them very much. // But I can only stay in this world for two more days. / Something is going to happen during that time.) // What could be awaiting me...?

7
Syaoran: ...You're still awake.
Sakura: Well, I didn't think I should go to sleep... / ...I made so sure to be quiet, though...
Syaoran: I could tell, though. / From your presence.
Sakura: You could tell it was me?
Syaoran: Yeah.

8
Syaoran: You're wet...
Sakura: Well, I came here straight from the purification grounds. // After all... // ...we only have two more days. // Hey... // Do you want do go and look at the stars with me tomorrow night?
Syaoran: Stars?
Sakura: Uh-huh.

9
Sakura: I have to be in the purification grounds as long as the sun is shining. / So, once it gets dark... // There's a place for stargazing up at the very top of the castle. / It's really pretty when you look at the stars from up there. // So I thought I'd like to see them with you...
Syaoran: Sure. / ...I'd like to do that.
Sakura: Okay!

10
Yuuko: This shop... // And these two... // ...were created for the sake of that which is yet to come.

11
Yuuko: Everything... // ...begins in two days' time...

12
Nadeshiko: Good morning! / You're up early.
Syaoran: Good morning.
Nadeshiko: Are you on your way to breakfast?
Syaoran: Yes.
Nadeshiko: ...Only today and tomorrow remain until the purification is complete.

13
Nadeshiko: I hope that nothing bad happens... // ...from the bottom of my heart.
Syaoran: Have you not seen what happens in your dreams?
Nadeshiko: True, I can see what is to come in my dreams... // ...but that does not mean that I know everything that will come to pass.

14
Nadeshiko: But then... // ...it is for that very reason that I am able to wish for a happy future.
Syaoran: My mother... said the same thing.
Nadeshiko: ...Yes... // I would like to meet her. // That mother of yours.

15
Nadeshiko: Now, hurry along. / We have apple payu today.
Syaoran: See you, then!
Nadeshiko: ...I pray that your and Sakura-hime's future... / ...may be happy...

16
Sakura: Softly... / Softly...
Syaoran: Oh, wow...!
Sakura: Do you like it?

17
Syaoran: Yeah... / It's beautiful.
Sakura: Thank you so much –
[sFX: SHA~~~N]
[TN: Uh, any ideas what kind of sound effect that is? I'm thinking maybe something like a bell, or a gong...]
Sakura: Wha...?
[sFX: SHA~~~~~N]

18
Syaoran: What's wrong?
Sakura: That noise...
[sFX: SHA~~~~N]
Syaoran: ?!
[sFX: SHA~~~~N]
