Sakiko...

Sakiko(There's nothing... I can do...)

SoyoSaki-chan.

Sakiko...!

SoyoAnon-chan told me everything. You actually said you wouldn't care about Mutsumi-chan anymore?

Sakiko... It has nothing to do with you.

Soyo! Go meet Mutsumi-chan!

SakikoStop! Let go!

SoyoCome on, let's go to Mutsumi-chan's house.

SakikoDidn't I tell you to let go!?

SoyoAre you trying to run away!?

SakikoAnd I'm saying that I'm not going! Let go of me!

SoyoI won't let go!

Sakiko、SoyoHaa... Haa......

SoyoMutsumi-chan said she wants to see you.

Sakiko!

SoyoSaki-chan, you have to know this too. You know what happened to Mutsumi-chan, right?

SakikoIf I could meet her, I would have long... If I went, Mutsumi would...

SoyoI went to your apartment.

Sakiko!

SoyoNow I know what happened to you. But it doesn't mean that you can just pretend nothing happened.

Sakiko...

AnonEh!? Wait, Soyorin!? What happened? Are you okay?

Tomori...

SoyoPerfect timing, would you come along too?

Anon、Tomori?

MortisGet out! Why did you bring her here? Sakiko-chan is a bad kid!

SoyoPlease, just for a moment.

Anon、Tomori...

SoyoSaki-chan, please...

Sakiko...

MortisDo you even have human blood running through your veins?

Sakiko、Soyo!

MortisYou're not human! After all this time, you just show up like nothing happened!

AnonEh...?

MortisGet out! I don't want to see you! Get out!

SoyoMortis-chan...

MortisYou're a traitor too...! You, and you too! Get out...

Sakiko...

AnonThat "not human" thing she just said, was that from a drama?

SoyoA drama?

Anon"Harbor of Love"... Minami Mori's line.

SoyoSo... was that also from...

Sakiko...!

MortisGet out! I don't want to see you!

Minami in the Movie"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Sakiko(That's how it is...)

TomoriI wonder what she is thinking...

Anon、Soyo...

SakikoThat's a doll.

SakikoA shell that can only act. Because I made Mutsumi become a doll...

SakikoMutsumi... has already...

Sakiko(I am truly foolish.)

Sakiko(Not only did I hurt Mutsumi, but I also turned away from my sins, trying not to see them, wishing to forget...)

Sakiko(I understood nothing. I am a foolish and weak human... no, not even human.)

SakikoThis is what... "I want to become a human" means...

SakikoShe's right. I'm not human at all. Ugh... Ugh...

Tomori...

Anon、Soyo...

Togawa's Home - Sakiko's Room

Sakiko...

Sakiko...

Sakiko(Tomori is always desperate... Even on a path with no exit, she continues struggling...)

Sakiko(Even if I'm not human, even if I'm something that can't be called human. I must face myself without running away... just like she did.)

Sakiko(What I should do is...)

Wakaba's Home - Gate

SakikoI see...

HousekeeperI'm very sorry, Mutsumi-san refuses to see you...

SakikoCan I wait here until she's willing to see me?

Sakiko(I want to see Mutsumi... I want to apologize to her.)

Sakiko(Mutsumi... I would do anything for you...)

Mortis...

Mortis"She's here again." "Get her away." "Soyo-chan, you're the one who brought her here!"

Mortis~~~! Soyo-chan, why! Don't leave me on read!!!

MortisI'm not being mean.
