#10 Our Dream

\

sfx:

\

Nana: ...so,
where should I start?...

------

(page148)

Kakeru: Well then let me tell you where, okay?! [K: does he sound too pissed? He does say that in the JP version]
Seven, why are your football skills so amazing?!
How did you know that I've always been weak on my left side?!
Why did you show up at the park so late at night and hide behind a mask?!
Why did you challenge me so many times?!
And what's with the alien anyway?!

Nana: Eh... H-ey, wait up. I can't keep up with you asking me all at once..

sfx: [K: This is actually the sfx for 'roar' but i would interpret it as OMG KAKERU IS TALKING TOO MUCH WHOOOOOOOOSH
So uh... 'overwhelming'? Something like that? ]

\

Kakeru: So... okay, tell me... why did you hide under a mask, and challenge me?

\

Nana: Suguru-san asked me to.

\

Kakeru: Eh?!
Kakeru: Nii... Nii-chan did?

Nana: Yes.

\

Nana: Suguru-san went to Mexico as part of the U-15 team, right?
Nana: At that time, I was still attending a Japanese school in Los Angeles... Los Angeles is pretty close to Mexico- [K: Is it really?]

Nana: and I was in the area, and just by coincidence I saw his match. [K: Um... >_>.... Well... ignoring minor plot point.. XD]

------

(page149)

Nana: Suguru-san!

\

Suguru: ......
Are you Seven?

\

Suguru: ...I see, so you're coming back to Japan?
Nana: Yup, so I'll probably be transferring to the school you and Kakeru go to.
[small text] Anyway, I wonder if I can become a manager...

\

Nana: Hey, Suguru-san, what about Kakeru? Is he working hard?
He could be picked for the youth national team next yea...

Suguru: He's our manager.

Nana: Huh?

\

Suguru: I don't know what he's thinking, but it's probably because he wasn't picked to be a starter in his first year.

Suguru: At this rate he might actually really quit football.

\

Nana: It's probably pressure.
It's hard for Kakeru too, having such a talented older brother like you.

------

(page150)

Suguru: Say, Seven. If you really transfer into our school...
Suguru: I have a favour to ask of you.

\

Nana: ...it seems that Suguru-san knew you secretly came to this park at night to practice alone.

\

Nana: But there's a limit to individual practice, isn't there?

Nana: So, with me as your practice partner,
you would be able to return to play for the team any time.

\

Nana: I hid under a mask, because I thought that if you knew it was me you would be angry.

\

Kakeru: Nii-chan, he...

------

(page151)

1. Suguru: When did you become so chicken?
2. Suguru: What do you know!?
3. Suguru: What Kakeru fatally lacks, isn't skill, or stamina.
Suguru: It's his confidence. It's the same with the root of his weakness with his left leg.[K: OH MY GOD THEY KEEP REPEATING THIS PANEL]

\

\

Nana: Kakeru...
Nana: I had something to say to you,
if you actually did come here to play football today. [K: I flipped the order for coherence.]

\

Kakeru: Wh.. what is it?

\

Nana: ......
Nana: The reason you were saved,

------

(page152)

Nana: was because you received a heart transplant.

\

Nana: ...and the donor of that heart was

\

Nana: Suguru-san. [K: Do we make it extra big or use the same size? As in, our typesetting style.. XD Because it looks so cool huge. And emotionally affecting.]

\

Kakeru: ...what...

\

Nana: ...That's why, Kakeru, you musn't forget...
sfx: place [K: I officially fail at sfxs.. XD]

------

(page153)

Nana: What's in here isn't just Suguru-san's heart...
Nana: ...but also his dreams, that he can never fulfil.
So, Kakeru,

------

(page154)

Nana: You definitely cannot give football up!!

\

sfx: dash
Nana: Kakeru!

\

Kakeru: huh
huh

huh
huh......

\

last panel sfx: THUMP
THUMP [K: his heart is beating harder than normal XD]

------

(page155)

sfx: THUMP
THUMP

\

Kakeru: huh

\

MA: Kakeru! What's wrong?!
MA: Is your heart...?!

\

sfx: sweep
MA: Kakeru?!

\

PA: What happened?
MA: Ah... dear,
maybe he's...

\

------

(page156)

PA: So you were in Suguru's room...

\

PA: Kakeru, you must have heard about your heart, right...
PA: Was it Mine-sensei?

\

\

PA: Sorry for not telling you.
PA: Mine-sensei said to wait until after you settled down

\

PA: ...but... there's no need for you to bear any responsibility.

Kakeru: ......
Can I be alone for a while?

\

PA: ...I understand.
sfx: close

\

\

\

Kakeru: Nii-chan...

\

\

Kakeru: Nii-chan...
What...

Kakeru: What do I do...

------

(page158)

\

Kakeru: ...mmph....
Kakeru: It's morning?

\

Kakeru: Owowowowow... when did I fall asleep...

\

sfx: slide

\

sfx: place

\

Kakeru: Good morning,
Kakeru: Nii-chan.

\

sfx: rustle...

sfx: flap

\

Kakeru: ...a diary?
Kakeru: Nii-chan's...?

diary: November 23
I saw a video of the Brazil match.
Japan was satisfied by the draw, and I believe that that type of team will never come back from the World Cup with anything. [K: cut it off and stuff.. XD]

\

sfx: gulp

\

sfx: place [K: this artist is in love with this sfx..]

------

(page160)

Suguru: I saw a video of the Brazil match.
Japan was satisfied by the draw, and I believe that that type of team will never come back from the World Cup with anything.

Suguru: I want to have someone who can get things done accurately in the penalty area.

\

Suguru: A knight in the area.
Without him, the national team and the U-15 team would...

\

Suguru: And about the coach taking on the high schoolers part-time as well... How can I put it?
Ever since I became captain, it was always Kunimatsu and I
who did the practice menus
and selected the starters.

Suguru: We learnt many things,
but to really triumph in the national championships,
we need a professional coach for the middle school team.

\

sfx: flip
Kakeru: As I thought, Nii-chan thought only about football every day...

\

Suguru: I dreamt that I opened the club toilet door, and saw Kunimatsu inside, as well as something horrible...

Kakeru: ...No way...

\

Suguru: This morning, I had that dream again.

------

(page161)

Suguru: It was during a match, and I noticed that there was nobody around me.
Suguru: I was completely alone...

\

Suguru: I called and shouted,
but there was no reply.
It was like being in the middle of mist.

Suguru: When I woke up, I was sweating, and I was scared to sleep again-

\

Ayaka: ...you know, he had a lot of nightmares, before the accident.
It's possible that he had a premonition of dying in the accident.

sfx: flip

\

Date: November 26
Kakeru: The morning of that day...

------

(page162)

Suguru: It's been a long time
since I had such a good dream.
I feel great.

\

Kakeru: He mentioned that at that time...

\

Suguru: I was playing in the World Cup finals.
Suguru: And Kakeru was with me.

\

Suguru: The score was 0-0, during injury time. I sent my last pass to Kakeru in the penalty area, and he converted it to a goal.

Suguru: That was the deciding goal, and Kakeru and I raised the World Cup up high.

------

(page163)

Suguru: This has always been in my mind.
Suguru: My dream.

\

Suguru: My, and Kakeru's
Suguru: dream...
[K: Is that awkward? Alternatively 'Kakeru and I, our dream...']

Diary: This has always been in my mind.
My dream.
My, and Kakeru's dream [K: is that an exclamation mark?! o.O or refraction from the tear?!]

sfx: plop

------

(page164)

Kakeru: Nii-chan-...

Kakeru: I'm sorry for forgetting...

------

(page165)

Suguru: We'll definitely-
Suguru: get the World Cup.
bag next to Kakeru: Potato (chips)

books, left to right. [K: if you actually care.. XD]
Japanese Dictionary
blah blah.. (can't see)
Insects of the World
.....

Gundams holding up globe?: World Cup
Japan, champions! [K: important.. :o]

\

Suguru: Kakeru... receive my pass.
Suguru: It's my last pass to you.

\

Kakeru: This is...
Kakeru: Nii-chan's last pass.

\

Kakeru: I can't keep running away.
Kakeru: I can't do that.

\

Kakeru: I'll continue to play football,
Kakeru: Nii-chan.

(page167)

Kakeru: As much as I can, with the life that you gave me...
