Last Quarter Page #3

with the rain.

I'll do anything to get Mizuki back.

Thank you.

That's encouraging.

She's probably imagining stuff.

There's no boyfriend named Adam.

Perhaps...

she's being possessed

by Sayaka's spirit?

Eve told me...

Adam used to play

the guitar for her.

I heard that song on TV.

Don't know the details, but...

So Adam's a professional musician?

Maybe it was him.

"Adam" is all you know?

Guess you have to sing it, Shiraishi.

What? No way!

You're gonna help Eve

no matter what. Right?

That's probably Evil Eye.

Evil Eye?

Charismatic indie band in England

about 20 years ago.

Import analogs are all you'll find

in Japan nowadays, I think.

What a nerd!

"Evil..." Oh, you know what?

Their reprint CD will be out next month.

Reprint?

Hold on a sec.

Here it is! See? Vocalist is Adam

and the album title is "Last Quarter."

Evil... Evil...

Elvis... Elvis... Elvis...

No, not Elvis... Evil.

Here it is, Evil Eye.

So this is Adam?

Adam.

This is it.

This song.

Awesome.

Where's Adam now?

Maybe back in England?

Without knowing about

Mizuki's accident?

So, what does "evil eye" mean?

Tomoki can do us the honor.

It's believed to bring bad luck.

In short, it's an eye that brings bad luck.

Once it stares at you, you're doomed.

That's what it is.

And "last quarter"?

Last quarter...

Oh, that's easy!

Of course I know.

I go to college.

But it may be a bit

too early for you two.

Maybe some other time.

It's the waning moon.

What?

It means the moon

in the waning phase.

The moon waxes and wanes each month.

There are four phases:

New Moon, Waxing Moon,

Full Moon and Waning Moon.

They're also called:

New Moon...

First Quarter...

Full Moon...

and the moon in the final phase

in the fourth week is Last Quarter.

It's the week before

the moon disappears.

Why bother to ask, then?

The moon shows its exact

same face once every 19 years.

That means, we can see

the exact same quarter...

only for a week every 19 years.

Then tonight's moon is the same

as the one 19 years ago?

You know a lot about the moon.

That...

MAN ENCHANTED BY THE MOON

He practices his lines with me.

Now... that explains why

you don't act your age.

I see. Your dad's the famous actor.

No wonder you're well off.

He's dead.

Finally.

That's 19 years ago?

So, when Mizuki was born...

Adam was already dead.

See? It's Sayaka's lost soul.

Adam is half Japanese.

"Killed himself by falling on purpose

or drunk driving accident..."

"The mystery remains."

So it says.

Adam died to follow

his Japanese lover.

It's so romantic to die

to be with your love.

How is it romantic?

Adam might've killed himself.

What a way to waste your life!

Bet he went straight to hell.

That's why he couldn't see Sayaka.

Look!

Isn't that Sayaka?

Here you go.

They remind me of John and Yoko.

Always together.

Adam...

I'll never forget you.

I won't leave you alone.

I'll be reincarnated right away...

so that I can be with you again.

I promise.

Adam...

I love you.

I happened to find it last night

while sorting my stuff.

The first and only letter

she sent me.

Thank you very much!

I'll make sure

it's returned to you.

You're up to something?

What's going on at that house?

Who's that?

My tutor!

I have to go!

Mr. Dojima. How are you?

I'm going to a music school

to study piano here in London.

The lessons are very hard every day,

but I'm enjoying my days here.

I hang out with my friends

after school who play rock...

and we enjoy listening

to many genres of music live.

I will meet more people

and experience many things...

for myself and for my brother

who couldn't.

Please come listen to my piano again

the next time I'm back in Japan.

I promise you a more powerful

and free-spirited performance.

Please take good care of yourself.

From London, Sayaka.

How sad.

She wanted to live.

Sayaka's spirit is

in search of her lost future...

still to this day.

But I can't sympathize

with my enemy.

She's trapping Mizuki in there.

I'll chase her off.

I want Sayaka to

go to heaven peacefully.

Then tell her Adam's waiting

for her in heaven.

Then Mizuki will go, too.

Listen! It's Sayaka

that needs Adam, not Mizuki!

There's nothing between Mizuki

and Adam who died 19 years ago.

Please tell Sayaka the truth

about Adam's death.

Once she finds out about his death...

her spirit will reunite with Adam.

And Mizuki can return to her body

free from Sayaka's spell.

OK?

Roger.

Do you think

you could explain it to Eve?

Yeah.

I wish I could tell her, but...

I'm just a stranger to Eve.

I'm counting on you.

Where are you going?

The hospital.

I want to be there when she wakes up.

I wonder where Adam is now

and what he's doing.

If only I knew...

I'd grow wings and fly to him.

Right away.

Shiraishi, I'll talk to her

if you don't think you can do it.

What's the matter, Hotaru?

You're not your usual self.

We know where Adam is.

What?

Eve...

No.

Sayaka...

Adam is not in this world anymore.

He died to follow you

Go to Adam, please.

Adam is...

dead?

No!

What's wrong?

Eve!

Be strong.

You have a body to return to!

No, I don't want to go back

to how it was!

I don't want a life like that!

Don't be ridiculous!

Adam's waiting for me.

I have to hurry.

I'm her father.

I want to be with her.

I understand, but...

I'm her father.

Let me be with her!

Mizuki!

Darling.

- Dad...

- Where the hell were you?

I called so many times!

Darling.

Damn!

What's going on?

That's a song he wrote for me

to get better.

He wanted me to play it

on the piano for his new album.

He wanted me to get better soon

to do just that.

Instead, it ended up

becoming my requiem.

Adam played the song on his guitar.

I was listening to it on the tape player

at the hospital...

when I died.

Eve, you're Mizuki Mochizuki.

Now you remember being Mizuki,

but why do you speak as if you're Sayaka?

I don't know.

I was...

born and died as Sayaka Kamijo.

But now I'm living as Mizuki.

That's all illusion! Adam is dead.

You wouldn't understand!

Adam saved me from solitude!

Our week together here

was definitely true and real!

That last night,

he asked me to go with him.

He was there on the other side

of the junction.

If only...

I'd made sure I got hit right,

I'd be with him!

No! Stop!

We all want you back!

Nobody needs me

more than Adam does!

Dad betrayed Mom...

and Mom killed herself

and left me behind.

Tomoki, too!

He betrayed me...

with my best friend!

It might be hard to find Adam...

but I must go.

Thanks for everything.

Eve?

Eve!

Eve!

Eve!

Vanished?

She hasn't come back yet.

Damn! How did

she get out of there?

She was unconsciously

trapping herself.

She said she had given up on life

as she knew it.

I'm partially to blame.

So I have no room to talk...

but she needs to be strong.

She needs to want to live for herself,

or she won't live.

Where could she be?

The one place where she believes
