Chapitre 180
The princess' whereabouts
-01- (splash: Shaoran and Sakura)
The wish they bet on,
being those two,
they believed it would come true without fail.
-02-
Mokona: So, did Sakura-hime's soul
Mokona: ... disappear?
-03-
Mokona: Did Sakura always know
that she was a creation?
Yuuko: ... No.
Fai: I think Sakura-chan found out,
possibly,
Fai: after she recovered the feather in "Tokyo".
-04-
Fai: It wasn't only because the other Shaoran-kun had disappeared.
Fai: It's because,
from then on... that child changed.
Fai: It wasn't that she couldn't accept "Shaoran"-kun,
Fai: but knowing that she was also an existence called a replica...
-05-
Fai: she knew that "Shaoran"-kun's real Sakura was someone other than her,
Fai: so she must've continued to act like that towards you.
Yuuko: ...... Even so, in order to change the dream she saw,
she did everything she could.
-06-
Mokona: Sakura...
Kurogane: Since when did you know?
Fai: ... From the beginning.
Fai: Because I was told
Fai: by the one who devised this journey.
-07-
Fai: ... And that's precisely why
Fai: the wishes I could grant, I wanted to grant.
-08-
Yuuko: Sakura-hime's replica is unlike Shaoran.
Yuuko: In Shaoran's case, only the body of the original Shaoran was duplicated.
Yuuko: And the one who inserted the heart was the original Shaoran.
Fai: In Sakura-chan's case, body and heart
were both duplicated.
-09-
Fai: Therefore, those feathers that were scattered were the same as the original Sakura-chan.
Kurogane: Why the change from the kid's [duplication]?
Fai: ......
Fai: Even if
something happened to the duplicated Sakura-chan...
-10-
Fai: if he had the original...
Yuuko: He must've thought the exchange would be effective.
... Fei Wang.
-11-
Yuuko: Thus, he'd do the same thing over and over.
Yuuko: Even if with that,
Yuuko: creations though they may be
... lives were erased for that purpose.
-12-
Kurogane: ... So, has the princess' soul... disappeared?
Mokona: Sakura...!!
Mokona: It doesn't matter if Sakura was created!
-13-
Mokona: Sakura
is Sakura!!!
Shaoran: ...... That's right...
-14-
Shaoran: I've
always been watching
Shaoran: your journey.
Shaoran: ... That's exactly why
-15-
Shaoran: I'm taking her back.
-16-
Yuuko: Fei Wang's wish is
Yuuko: something that everyone wishes for,
Yuuko: if there's someone they didn't want
to lose.
Mokona: But
Mokona: once lost, they won't come back.
-17-
Yuuko: ......
Mokona: Where was Sakura's body taken?
-18-
Shaoran: I have a wish.
Shaoran: Please tell me
Sakura's whereabouts.
Yuuko: ... Which Sakura would that be?
-19-
Shaoran: Both of them.
Shaoran: I absolutely won't let Sakura die!
-20-21-
Yuuko: Suppose I tell you, what will the other two do?
Kurogane: Going.
Fai: I'll go.
-22-
Mokona: ... It's the same
Mokona: as when they first came to this shop.
Yuuko: Then,
Yuuko: the payment.
Teaser: The retraced memories, the revived determination,
now, towards a new journey!
I'd really hate to be Kurogane (or possibly Mokona) right now. It's like everyone knew that Sakura was a replica and no one had the decency to tell him anything. I'm glad that Fai's somewhat exaggerated attitude towards Sakura gained more context now. I think he really just wanted to make her feel accepted and loved.
Page 11: Wouldn't it be cool if Sakura-replica were actually Sakura-replica #9?
Page 16: Oh, Clow, you bastard, look at what you did!
And damn you, CLAMP, what happened to -- and what was -- Sakura's soul, already?
