xxxHolic, chapter 156
Sigh. Why do I procrastinate this much when I practically have the script ready? *rhetorical question*
Chapter 156
-01-
Yuuko: That doesn't balance out.
Kohane: It's not enough?
Yuuko: No.
Yuuko: It's too much.
Yuuko: The rumors about you will be included too.
Yuuko: Although
Yuuko: you haven't lied a single time in TV,
-02-
Side text: I'd like to give my powers as payment..." The wish has finally come out of Kohane's mouth!! How will her feelings for her mother reach Yuuko!?
Yuuko: even about that last missing husband's eventual fate,
Yuuko: and even about the things concerning your mother.
Yuuko: Even if the rumors are erased, the past won't disappear.
Yuuko: Neither will what happened between you two.
-03-
Yuuko: But, you know,
You can start over from there.
Yuuko: You've made your decision, right?
Yuuko: To first be happy and then wait.
Kohane: ... Yes.
-04-
Yuuko: Everything
lives by blending, interconnecting
and mutually influencing one another.
Yuuko: Even a merely trivial meeting
brings about changes of both heart and body.
-05-
Yuuko: Precisely because you're someone who felt pain, you understand what true happiness is.
Yuuko: I'm sure you'll be able to teach that to your mother.
You just need to believe it.
Yuuko: Besides,
should something happen, our part-timer should also come running, right?
Kohane: ... But
Kohane: I've troubled Kimihiro-kun so much already!
-06-
Yuuko: Kohane-chan, if he hadn't met you,
Watanuki would be sad and crying the whole time.
Mokona: Crying real loud!
Mokona: Totally miserable!
Mokona (SFX): Mokona does funny moves too!
Yuuko: Besides, didn't I tell you?
Yuuko: People interconnect and change.
Yuuko: Watanuki has also changed after meeting you, Kohane-chan.
Yuuko: There's no such thing as an one-sided connection.
-07-
Yuuko: If you feel you're being supported by Watanuki,
he also feels he's being supported by you.
Kohane: ... Thank you.
Kohane: ... This is
Kohane: the fourth time I've said "thank you"
in this short time I've been sitting here.
Kohane: And I'd never said that kind of thing.
-08-
Mokona: You'll get a lot of chances
Mokona: from now on!
-09-
Kohane: ... Thank you.
-14-
Side text: Kohane's powers brought forth a feather of Sakura's!? Kohane, Watanuki, and Sakura. Where are the three people's turbulent fates headed!?
Mokona: So Kohane's power
was the feather's power, right? (T/N: As you should know by now, "feather" in Japanese is "hane". I have a feeling that what Mokona just said sounds hilarious to them.)
Yuuko: ... Right.
Restating the question from the spoiler post: what will Yuuko do with this feather? Leave it gathering dust in her vault?
