Kaede

Asa, I need you to let me make one selfish request. I want to see him. If I'm able to see him, I can keep on loving him. I know he's not mine. He's never been mine but I need to keep loving him.

Asa

Kaede...

Kaede

I'm so sorry, Asa. I know it's selfish, I just... I know how Rin feels, and Asa, I know that you love him. But I still, I still...

Asa

Stop that. If anybody's selfish it's me. I should have seen it from the beginning, you've been in love with Rin for as long as I've known you. I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Kaede

Asa and I got caught in the rain. I asked her if she would take good care of you. I needed to make sure, since I'm not going to be able to do it anymore.

Rin

Kaede. Just listen, I think I'm falling in love with...

Kaede

Don't say another word. Please Rin, I can't hear it from you. I know how you feel. I don't need to hear it, not from you.

Rin

Now hold on, that isn't fair. You need to hear this, right now from me and no one else.

Rin

Even though I don't love you romantically, I will always love you Kaede.

Kaede

What happened? You're all messy.

Primula

Yeah, I made dinner.

Asa

So do you promise that you'll try to protect me Rin, just like she has, the person I admire more than anyone else in this world?

Rin

I promise, I'll protect you.

Mayumi

It's been a week since your big, dramatic confession, huh.

Rin

Hey, what makes you think it was so big and dramatic? You weren't even there.

Mayumi

I know, that's whats so frustrating. Oh man, how could you let a fabulous photographer such as myself miss an important moment like this?

Itsuki

You had four girls vying for your attention, but you could only fall in love with one of them. No one can fault you for that, man. I think you made a smart move, your heart spoke to you and you listened. It said "choose Asa, she's your true love." I'm proud of you, man.

Sia

Just you wait and see. I'm going to work a whole lot harder, okay, so I can become just as attractive as Nerine and Asa.

Rin

Okay.

Kikyou

So you better get ready. I'm going to become the most fantastic woman you've ever met and steal your heart.

Rin

Nerine, why are you dressed like that?

Nerine

Well, my father told me to.

Itsuki

Who better to help clean an apartment than a maid? Nice thinking Ma-bo.

Kareha

You're the only one who can save her life, don't give up on her.

Rin

Why does everyone think that? Why me? I don't know what I can do to help her, she won't listen to me.

Kareha

Just think for awhile, there must be something only you can do.

Rin

If there is, I don't know about it.

Asa

When I start to get scared, there's this dream I remember.

Rin

What dream?

Asa

A dream I had about the two of us when we're both very old. In the dream you had taken me back to that overlook, that place where you first told me you loved me. And in the dream, you told me again and it still felt like the first time. We held each other, were so thankful we had a life together and so glad we had more to look forward to with each other. That's why I'm not going to die.

Ama

Am I worried? Any mother would be scared to death right now, Rin. She's frightened and in so much pain. Of course I'm worried about her.

Rin

Ama.

Ama

If I could take her place, I would in a heart beat. If doing it would make her better, believe me, I'd do it and not care for one second about myself. I'd gladly give Asa my life. I've always tried to be there for her, like any mother would. But I'm not the one who can help her. I'm sorry, but Rin, Asa doesn't need help from me. The person she needs is you.

Rin

What?

Ama

You're the only one that can save her.

Rin

I tried, but Asa won't listen.

Ama

Asa's stubborn, but please don't give up. She'll come around, just keep trying. The two of you share a special bond of love, that's why she'll listen.

Rin

You all keep saying that. It's not true, I can't do any more for her than you can.

Ama

You're wrong about that. I think part of you knows that even now, Asa is more important to you than anyone else in the world and you'll find a way to save her because you have to.

Rin

If I can, I will.

Ama

Rin, save Asa. I know you can. I love her so much, bring her back.

Rin

I don't care if I can become a god or a demon. I don't care about anything. If I can only just save her, that's all I need.

Asa

Rin, how'd you know I'd be here?

Rin

Oh, just call it a hunch.

Asa

I see. I really like that you know me as well as you do.

Rin

Nice to see you again.

Asa

You dummy.
