[Tomoya and Nagisa arrived home while the phone rings.]
Hold on just a sec. I'll get it for you.
Oh, that's great. Thank you.
[She answers the phone.]
Hello. Okazaki residence. Yes. He's in the other room. I'll go get him for you. Hey Tomoya! It's someone from Hikarisaka Electric!
Huh? You don't think I got the job already, do you? Hello. Okazaki speaking. Oh yeah, hi boss. Can I help you with something? Huh? From Kinoshita? Oh, uh, okay. What's his number? Okay... Yeah... Got it. Yeah, thanks for giving me a call, I appreciate it. Yes, sir. I'll talk to you soon.
Is something wrong?
They said one of my dad's associates called for me. I don't know...
Hello, this is Kinoshita.
Uh, yeah, this is Okazaki.
Oh, Tomoya. Bad news.
Huh?
It's, uh, about your father. He was arrested by the police. Apparently, he was dealing, um, something illegal. I just heard the story myself. So I thought I'd better contact you in case you didn't know.
This is a small town, so rumors spread quickly, you know how it is. Well, anyway, I'm sorry, but the construction company is withdrawing their job offer.
Oh, I see...
If it's any consolation, you're still welcome here, of course. Nothing has changed. This just happened at a bad time. You'll have other opportunities. Don't let it get you down.
Nagisa.
Yes?
What do you say we leave this town? Just you and me. I should have realized it sooner but my father is, like some kind of curse. He ruins everything for me. I wanna start over somewhere as far away from him as possible.
No. You can't do that. That would be like running away. This is something you have to work out. We don't have to run. We'll be happy as long as we have each other, right?
But why does it have to be here?! We can be happy anywhere, can't we?! You said we'd be happy as long as we have each other, didn't you?
I didn't mean that we have to stay here for sure. I'll go anywhere as long as I'm with you. But, when we leave this town, we have to leave with positive feelings, not because we're running away. If we leave with regret, then we won't be able to come back. We'll be throwing it away. This is our town. This is the place where you and I were born. It's not something we should just throw away.
Even if nothing good ever happened here?
I don't know, a lot of good things happened to me. Meeting you is the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life.
