M: Good mooooorning!
M: Shiro-chan!
H: ...you're really close.
H: I can hear a voice.

M: C'mon!
M: Hurry up and eat breakfast! It's my first day, and I'm going to be late!
M: Make sure you say hi to Tecchan and Acchan next door, too!
H(thought): like thunder resounding far in the distance.
H: What a pain.
boxless text: like a flower touching my palm

05)
white: Death in the Ice Field
M(2b): See ya! Even after I enter the dorms, whenever I get a break, I'll come play with you again, alright?!

06)
H: Don't come back again.
H: Bedwetter Momooooooo~
G: Even though....
G(2b): You won't see her again for a while, [rest is currently illegible]
H: I don't care.
H(2b): She'll have a break soon anyway, won't she? Whatever the case, she'll come back soon.

07)
H: Tatsukichi and Ayumi, from next door.
H: Hinamori's friends.
H: They're afraid of me.
H(2b): It's not like I ever did anything to them, but,
H(2b): I at least know they're afraid of me. Everyone is around here.
H: West Rukongai, District #1: "Shunrinan."
H: Here, the only two people who aren't afraid of me are Hinamori and Granny.
H(2b): Whether it's because of my silver hair, my turqoise eyes, or my cold disposition,
H: Everyone says I'm "like ice."

08)
H: Granny won't say it,
H: and that's why I love her.
M(2b): Well, see you later! I'll be back for summer vacation!
M: Ah! So this is where you were!
H: 5 years passed since Hinamori first entered the Shinigami School.

09)
H: The number of days she's been visiting have decreased.
H: [currently illegible]
H: Her hair's gotten a bit longer.
H: I haven't grown a bit.
H: And Granny's
H: gotten really thin.

10)
G: ...Toushirou.
H(2b): I'll go buy some sugared red beans.
H: We're out, right?
?: Here's your change, 3 kan.
?: Hey! That's not the kinda way you give change back to a customer!!

11)
sfx: boki boki boki

12)
M: You think you can just take him lightly because he's a kid!?
M: I didn't think store was such an uncourteous establishment!

13)
M(2b): And how much longer are you gonna cry for, huh?! If you're a man, just say it like you mean it!!
H(2b): Who's fault do you think this is!? Besides, I'm not even crying!! Lemme go!!!
H: I said, lemme go!
M: Ah!
M: Hey, hold on, you!!

14)
H: I can hear a voice
H: echoing
H: Like it's crushing me, like it's swallowing me up
H: like thunder falling into this palm

17)
H: What...
H: are you...!?
D: BOY!!
D: You are I.
H: What are you saying!?
H: I can't hear you!!
D: MY NAME IS
H: I can't hear you

18)
M: Yo!
H(2b): You! From lunchtime...
M(2b): Suppress your reiatsu and sleep.

19)
M: It seems like your grandmother's cold.
H: ...gra...
M(2b): ...boy. You should become a Shinigami.
H: Wha...
M(2b): Strong children like you must learn how to handle their power.
M(2b): I'll teach you. Just like this,
M: As you directly kill your grandmother with your own power.
H: What...

20)
M: You can hear the voice, can't you?
M: The way to find out where that voice is coming from,
M: is by learning how to handle your power.
M(2b): And that is done by "becoming a Shinigami."
M: ...I'll say it only once,
M: boy.

21)
G: ...I see.
G: I'm glad.
G: You've been holding back all this time, haven't you?
G: Because you were afraid that I'd be too lonely all by myself.
G: But the fact that you're in self-denial just because of me...
G: to granny,
G: that's the most painful thing.
H: I can hear a voice

22)
H: Distant, near, resonating
H: Seeking it out, I decided to continue.
H: Even if I may die in this ice field
