Chapter 28 - Departure
1: Hey...I'm sorry.
2: Eh? ...it's alright.

146)
1: You sure you don't want to come with me?
2: Ehh?!
3(2b): You can do anything now. You went into the mountains on your own and hunted for deer...no normal person can do that.
4: If you went back you could live to your heart's content.
5: Thanks.
6(2b): But I want to try living on this island. Here, there's something...
7: Something I'm on the verge of understanding.

147)
1: What?
2(2b): ...yeah. That's the question...
3(2b): As I face the act of living on this island...it's true that I've started to change, and I've started to understand things...
4(2b): So if I were to stay here...then maybe I, too...
5: Ryou...
6: No, forget it!
7: Ryou!!

148)
1: If you...were to make it back...! Then...
2: do you intend...to die?
3: I don't have...the right...to say this...but...!
4: No matter...what way it ends up being in, I--
5: w-want you...Ryou...
6: I want you to live!

149)
1: Live...
2: That's the first time...someone's ever
3: honestly told me that.
4: Thanks.
5: Sei.
6: I'm glad I met you.

150)
1: I
2: feel the same.
3: Let's go.
4: It's late.
5: If I had had a senpai like Ryou
6: or a friend to talk to like Tomo
7: then I--...
8: I'm thinking about ifs again.
9: When will I stop?
10: Ryou didn't answer that he would "live," to the very end.

151)
1: Are you really going?
2: Mmm...
3: With that person...Ryou?
4: Ehh?!
5: Wh...why?

152)
1: Does he know?
2: About your...um...
3: There's no way I can tell him.
4: And --
5: even if I stayed here...
6: Yeah. Even if we stayed here--...
7: Yeah...

153)
1: Some days later
2: Ryou attempted numerous departure tests.
3: The raft had a mast and even boxes to store things.
4: It was a very professional construction,
5: that seemed like it might actually be able to make it to the mainland.

154)
1: Then, on the morning of a clear day, he decided to set off.
2: Once we arrive safely, we'll request that help is sent.
3: And if that doesn't work, we'll try to find other people to help us.
4(2b): Yeah, we're counting on you.
5: C'mon now, don't cry...alright?
6: Heeey.
7: Sugi!
8: You should take this with you.
9: What is that?

155)
1: I magnetized a needle and then stuck it to a piece of styrofoam and put it in water.
2: ? What?
3: It's a magnet! When you put it in water it points north.
4: Realllyyyyy?!?!
5: Geez...You're trying to set off without even knowing what a compass is...?
6(2b): Listen carefully. You can't go east or south...if you go into the Pacific, no one will save you! Go north!!
7: If this is an island around Okinawa or the Izu Peninsula, and you go north...
8: ...Sugi.
9: What?

156)
1: You...are cold, but you're really a good guy.
2: I'm glad I met you...
3: Wh-what are you...to be honest, I'm against this whole departure...!
4: I-I have no choice, though...
5: I know...take care of the rest for me.
6: Yeah.
7: You...be careful too.
8: Tomo! Sei...
9: ...I also...

157)
1: I'm against you leaving...Ryou.
2: B...but
3: I think that if you hadn't been here...we...
4: We wouldn't have survived...! S...so...
5: Thanks...
6: Tomo...everyone...

158)
1: I wasn't going to talk about this...but just let me.
2: To be honest, I wonder what would have happened if I met you all sooner...and--
3: I'm glad I met you...that's how I feel.
4: But I'm going back...
5: to my place.

159)
1: See ya!
2: Ryou...
3: Ryou.
4: R...ryou!!

160)
1: Sei...!!
2: If you find an answer...to what you're about to understand!!
3: If you find it...!

161)
1: Then tell everyone else about it.
2: I'm counting on you.
3: ...Ryou...!

162)
1: The raft gradually drifted away with their hand paddling...
2: and soon they raised the sail.
3: Then, before we knew it
4: they were gone.
5: Even after the raft disappeared
6: we all couldn't move for a while.
7: That's how large--

163)
1: Ryou's existence was.
2: But we don't have time to stop now. The water is getting colder with every day...
3: If we don't throw out the nets on a hot day like this...
4: Hurry, let's go!!
5: We'll get a huge catch today!
6: But no one went to start anything.
7: The voice that had pulled everyone this far could no longer be heard.

164)
1: Stop it... Ikiru.
2(2b): Ruff! Ruff
3: I said stop...!
4: wh...whine...
5: ...Ikiru...
6: I'm sorry, it's alright...
7: Ruff
8: It's nothing, don't worry about it.
