Oh, come on.
You haven't improved one bit.
Follow me.
From When The Snow Melts, To When It Falls Again
Morning, Touma.
You're early today.
Kitahara.
Notice
Wanna sit here for a bit?
We'll be late for class, class rep.
This is important.
Uh, let's see...
First off, I want to thank you.
What for?
Summer break.
You taught me how to play the guitar.
Did I, now?
I don't remember it very well.
It may not have meant much to you,
but it made me really happy.
Thanks.
So have you gotten any better?
Yeah, I've got it down pat.
Liar.
You know, someone else has been tagging along with my practicing lately.
I guess some people are just that nosy.
The pianist from the neighboring Music Room Two has been accompanying my playing perfectly.
And he's so good that you could mistake him for a professional instructor.
I think he's probably in the music program.
I've never seen him, though.
That room's always locked.
You brought me all the way here just to talk about that nonsense?
O-Oh, sorry.
I hope you like it.

English Grammar
Start from the very basics !
Even dogs would get it !
Master it in 30 days
Fully develop your reading comprehension
What's this?
The textbook I used back in junior high.
It proved quite useful for the entrance exams.
And what of it?
Remember what the teacher told you yesterday?
He said you lacked the very basics of English grammar.
Oh, please don't think I'm making fun of you because it's meant for junior high students.
With things like these, you shouldn't go for the advanced-level stuff right off the bat.
Take the guitar practice book you recommended to me, for example.

It really helped me out.
So yeah...
You wanted to go to uni, right?
Don't worry. It's not too late.
Get the basics down first—
Seriously?!
It's too late for you to perform in the school festival, though.
H-Hey, Touma?

I hear it's delicious!
Now I'm starving!
Let's have lunch here.

Touma.
H-Hey, Touma.
Um, about yesterday...
I'm sleepy.
Save it for tomorrow.
I'll listen to whatever excuses you have tomorrow,
so let me sleep now.
All right.
Sleep well, Touma.
A class rep shouldn't be saying that,
you idiot.
I went and bought the practice book that you told me about. It's so simple and easy to understand that I think even I can keep up with it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have remembered that the absolute fundamentals are actually the most important. So that's why I think this textbook would help you the most. You should also listen to what the seniors say once in a while. There's only a bit of time until the festival and our graduation, so let's both do our best. —Kitahara

I hope we can see each other even after we graduate.
Say, Touma.
Didn't you enjoy the time we spent together?
S... Sorry!
I'm sorry, Kitahara.

I confessed to Setsuna.
And I don't believe it, but she said yes.
So I... well...
I mean, uh...
I decided to go out with her.
This doesn't have anything to do with me.
Of course it does!
What's that supposed to mean?
You think too much of yourself.
But I...
It was only yesterday that I said I wanted the three of us to stay together forever.
Did you, now?
I don't remember it very well.
Touma...
Relax.
It's not like anything will change.
I'll still be with you guys.
Otherwise,
Ogiso will cry.
Sorry, we can't take your call right now.
Please leave a message after the beep.
You there, Kazusa?
I'm in Japan right now.
Well, this is a surprise.
I thought you hated me enough not to come.
I did, until recently.
Why the change of heart?
It wasn't anything special.
I just started thinking it was ridiculous for my whole life to revolve around my mother.
Did you fall in love with someone?
I still hate how you always jump to conclusions, though.
Let's see...
Is it that guitarist boy?
You came to the festival yesterday?
Well, I heard you were taking the stage for the first time in two years,
so I flew over right away.
Was it Shibata-san?
You sounded quite different from when I last heard you play.
Well, I did slack off for two whole years.
I must've sounded awful.
Yeah.
It was really bad, extremely rough,
and exactly what I like.
All right, I need to see someone else now.
I bet it's yet another man.
I'll leave that up to your imagination.
Not like it matters.
Bye.
Give some thought to what we just talked about, okay?
Don't worry. I'll enter that competition.
Tarnishing your reputation doesn't sound like much fun anymore.
I also said that if you did well, you could come to Vienna with me.
What about that?
It's what I've wanted for the last three years.
All right.
Good night, then.
"I Think Back To Our Autumn Together That Will Never Return"
I see.
So I'm going to...
abandon this country.
December 2007
Hey, go be with Setsuna.
It's okay.
I'm more worried about you right now.
You hardly got any sleep last night.
I wonder how much time we ended up spending in the hot spring.
Please don't remind me.
I miss being there so much that I want to die.
You sleaze.
Hey, Kitahara.
Thanks for everything.
What's with the death flag?
Just accept someone's gratitude for once, you maverick.
I haven't done anything to be thanked for.
Everything I did, I wanted to do.
So you'd do the same for everyone else, too?
You'd happily poke your nose into everybody's business?
No, only for Setsuna and you.
I see.
What was that about being more worried about me falling asleep?
H-Huh?

Kaiousha Young Pianist Competition Sponsored by Kaiousha Publishing
That's how it is.
I thought I could at least place,
but I guess two years of neglect was too long.
Kazusa.
Save the criticism for later, please.
I'm not in the mood today—
You passed.
Huh?
You leave soon after the graduation ceremony.
Make sure you're ready by then.
Hang on.
I failed, you know?
I couldn't fulfill your challenge.
What a strange thing to say.
Do you seriously trust those quack judges' ears over mine?
Mom...
Well, if there's a reason you don't want to go,
you're free to stay here in Japan.
I'll take care of your every need, just like I always have.
Wait.
Fine.
I'll go to Vienna.
February 2008
I'm always like that.
I half-ass everything, saying I don't care about myself.
At the same time, I get stubborn and keep doing the opposite of what I want.
Before I knew it, I'd lost everything.
Touma...
We finally became friends, Kitahara.
I've said everything I wanted to say.
Now we know everything about each other.
Though, from the moment we became friends, we'll never speak to each other again.
Stay away from me.
Stop it!
Touma...
Kitahara...
You can't.
You can't!
Screw you.
Screw you!
Touma, I...
I love—
Why are you so good at it?!
How many times have you kissed Setsuna?
Kitto mata itsuka mata fuyu wo matte
Someday, as I wait for winter to come again
Natsukashiku tadotte wa koko e kuru deshou
I'm sure my trip down memory lane will lead me here
Dareyorimo itsuyorimo kimi no koto wo
More than anyone, more than ever
Todokanai kotoba demo sotto utau yo
I'll keep singing your name even if my voice never reaches you
Feel atarashii toki wo shinjite
Believing that a new day will dawn for us
