Chapter 154
-01-
Watanuki: ... You should tell me
what you've been feeling, everything.
Watanuki: I'll listen to
Watanuki: your feelings, Kohane-chan.
... All of them.
-02-
Side-text: The feelings towards her mother won't stop!! The words that couldn't be said, the tears that couldn't be shed, start overflowing in Watanuki's arms!!
Kohane: Mother...
Kohane: Mother......
Kohane: ... Mama...
-03-
Kohane: ... I'm sorry...
-04-
Watanuki: ... It's not your fault, Kohane-chan.
Watanuki: Nothing
Watanuki: ... is your fault at all......
-05-
Yuuko: Wishes...
Yuuko: Surely, if you keep wishing, they'll come true. That's how strong the power of people's wishing is.
Yuuko: But, if you wish for someone's unhappiness
Yuuko: you'll also become unhappy
proportionally to the strength of the wish.
Yuuko: Those who feel they are unhappy now,
Yuuko: are bitter towards someone and wish for someone's unhappiness.
-06-
Doumeki: That mother...
Yuuko: She wanted to exact revenge on her ex-husband,
Yuuko: without knowing that if you wish for revenge, an equally hard blow will be dealt back to yourself.
-07-
Yuuko: Wishing
Yuuko: and keeping wishing
Yuuko: ... brought about today.
Yuuko: Dragging her own child
Yuuko: into the wish that makes her unhappy.
-08-
Yuuko: Kohane-chan was probably waiting.
Yuuko: Not wanting to drive her mother into a corner any more than she already was,
she wanted her to notice by herself.
Yuuko: But nothing changed
Yuuko: and the situation and her mother both worsened.
-09-
Yuuko: Even so,
Yuuko: unable to put an end to it,
Yuuko: she waited for that chance.
-10-
Doumeki: She said...
Doumeki: that maybe
Doumeki: she was waiting for him.
-11-
Yuuko: She must've known, upon meeting Watanuki,
Yuuko: that he was a person "close" to her.
Doumeki: Because they can see invisible things?
Yuuko: That, too.
Yuuko: But, those children's hearts are closer than anything.
Doumeki: ... Indeed.
-12-
Side-text: The two of them can even change circumstances that they couldn't change alone. Kohane and Watanuki, their bond of hitsuzen has created a new future!!
Yuuko: Besides,
Yuuko: so that people can change, all that's needed is meeting.
I restate my question from the spoilers: how many people are closest to Watanuki anyway?
