Oh, yeah, he might be right.

You think so, too?

(not good ")

Yeah. Like the "ryou" from the word "for you".

Wait, you mean the "good" part, right?

It would mean "good" as in "the good and the bad", right?

Oh, right. Yeah.

Oh, really? Thank you! Seriously!

What about the "ryou" reading from

"suzushii"? With the water radical?

Oh, like Hirose Ryouko'?

Yeah... when my friend brought it up, he meant that Ryou.

Oh... well, what would mine be'?

- My name. Yeah.

- You're Yuuko-san, right?

That'd be me.

Uh... hmmm...

Nanami?

Nanami could work.

Nanami?

I don't like that at all.

Wm... m...

How about Yuki? ls Yuki okay?

Yuki!

That's a cute name.

Good... it's a cute one.

- Glad you like it.

- Yuki, huh!

- I'm happy with that.

- Thanks for saying that!

- I'm happy that you're happy with it, Yuuko-san-

- "Nanami" was a little...

Nanami was a bad choice, hey?

What made you think of that one?

I think... like... your hairstyle is so "Nanami" that it hurts.

- It hurts'? - It's not that-- it's just...

it seems like the hair a Nanami would have.

It has that... you know... yeah, you get it.

Okay, then what made you think of "Yuki"?

That'd be how "petite" you are.

- "Yuki" suits smaller builds?

- Yeah, that's right.

It's that whole... delicate type of person.

I don't really mean the air about you... that's--

- Are you making fun of me?

- It's that... no, I'm not making fun of you!

I mean the... the cute parts of "Yuki".

- The cute parts'?

- The cute parts.

- You're saying good things, then?

- I am!

- Are you really?

- I am! For real!

Sorry, "Nanami" was really bad.

It was way off.

= Rig m? Rig m?

= MEL... I]

- We'll go with Yuki, then.

- Yeah, Yuki it is. Yuki.

- Yuki, huh...

- Yeah... Yuki.

May as well just change your name to Yuki.

- Yuki.

- I don't see why.

I'll sleep over here.

You'll be cold out there!

- Please sleep in here!

- No, no... I can't do that.

I am a man, after all.

You don't know what I'll do.

[item

No, I can't.

I really don't mind.

You'll make me angry.

I came out here for ichigo-chan.

Put yourself in Kashiwagi's shoes.

Good n ig ht.

- Welcome home.

- Thanks.

Is something wrong?

Well... when I woke up, Asahi-san was gone.

His stuff is still here, though.

Oh...

Where is the closest park to here?

Wondering.

You know I'm cheating on you,

so why do you stay with me?

Why bring that up now?

Why do you stay'?

L] nun

I haven't really thought about it.

Oh.

Are you that curious?

I was... really surprised you weren't angry with me.

When you first found out about it,

you didn't even get that mad.

Did you want me to?

Uh... well, I don't know.

Did you think I wasn't that into you anymore?

Yeah, I wondered about that, too.

I already knew.

I knew way before you got busted.

When I did find out, I was really angry.

I was really upset, too.

Oh.

You have no idea when I found out, do you?

No...

You wouldn't.

That's the way you are.

Hey, come on... don't click me around.

- Sorry, sorry.

- Why the hell weren't you home?

- I was counting on you, man.

- Sorry, sorry.

Hey... I'm really sorry about last night.

Oh, I don't mind much.

You made things harder for Yuuko-san.

I wasn't that put out.

What did you talk about?

Talked

What did we talk about?

Yeah.

That's a secret, man.

Right,

Drink all you need.

It's tomorrow night, right? You could stay here another night.

Nah, if I leave now I can get there around 5 in the evening.

- You're actually going to speed-walk the whole way?

- I am.

- Seriously'?

- Yeah.

Well... feel free to stop by again.

I will. Thank you very much.

- Later.

- Yeah, later.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Don't worry about it. I'll do it.

Nah, I can take care of it sometimes.

Listen.

I'm going to break up with Midori today.

Though.

Mm...

I feel like today is the clay.

Really?

Yeah.

Whoa, really?

Yeah.

That's great news!

Yeah.

Wait, wait... why did he suddenly decide that?

Did something happen'?

Yesterday

Yeah?

And that friend has been in love with this girl for over 10 years.

I wonder if that somehow made him decide

that he had to take this seriously.

But I don't think that's all there is to it.

Wellll... it's still good news!

Yeah...

it might be me on the chopping block next time.

Nothing.

Oh... hey.

Is it a one-sided love?

That friend of his.

Oh. Yeah.

He said that she used to be an idol.

Yeah.

Apparently $136

She's dead'?

That might be why he could stay in love the entire time.

What was her name?

- The idol's name?

- Yeah.

Ichigo-chan.

Ichigo-chan?

And this was 10 years ago?

Yeah.

Wait, what was her last name?

- Her last name?

- Yeah.

WEE! EL...

- She wasn't famous, though.

- It's Momono ichigo, right?

What? You know her?

Huh'? Well... it's... not that I know her.

But she's dead'?

Yeah. Supposedly she drowned in the ocean 10 years back.

Drowned?

Drowned...

I guess you could say that.

So you do know her?

That friend of his...

His name is Asahi, right?

Yeah!

How do you know that?

Mam.

What are you laughing about?

Can you listen to this with a straight face?

Okay... what?

That's me.

- Who'?

- Momono ichigo.

What? But she's dead!

I'm not dead!

Talking

I was thinking of going to see him tomorrow.

Huh? What'?

I don't get this!

Oh, hello. Glad to meet you. I'm Matsuda.

He?-.

Mm...

We're just classmates. Pay me no mind.

'WW.

Mme:

Come sit.

WEEK?

Put that down first.

What at is it?

You said you wanted to talk.

Uh], mam...

Let's talk alone.

Don't worry about me. Just pretend I'm not here.

Right.

But...

You are here.

This is about breaking up, yes?

You want to break up with me, yes?

Yeah.

No.

- Hm'?

- What?

If I refuse, what then?

What if I don't want to?

Will...

Then I guess we can't.

If you really don't want to,

then I think we probably can't.

I have to ask.

Do you have no spine?

I do.

Wm...

We need to talk about this more.

You know... I don't want to break up,

and this guy likes me, so I invited him over.

That would be me trying to get out of having this conversation.

Wait, Midori-chan... What is this? You're not breaking up'?

Be quiet.

I skipped school to be here for you, you know!

Okay, then go to school.

- You can't just tell me to go--

- You can go.

It's fine... I'm not going to bail now.

You can stay here, then.

But be quiet.

Say it yourself, Kashiwagi-san.

L]...

Can we not talk alone?

You're not ready to say it with someone else around?

This isn't about being ready or not.

Film.

I'm going to say it.

I:

want to break up with you.

Okay)"-

What about her?

Her, too?

I'm not sure.

I see.

You want to do right by her?

[Him]...

I guess...

Oh.

I guess

I just want

a clean slate for once.

Lightly

- I am, aren't I?

- Yeah.

I think...

We never should have dated.

I should have turned you down from the start.

Why?

Well, you know... being with me wasn't very fun for you, was it?

I was always a bit moody.

You've got that wrong.
