125 [no text] 126 [Title:]End of a Love [magazine tagline midcenter- not translating] [floating text center left] Good morning! 127 The girl from this morning? Is she waiting for someone? 128 [top panel school name + sfx- not translating] Excuse me. 129 Do you need something at our school? I saw you here this morning too. Um... Uh... [sfx:]whirl Huh!? Oh! [sfx:]spill ... Are you all right? 130 That should do for now. [sfx:]stick Thank you. Such slender legs. Wow So, what are you doing hanging around our school gate? Well... Sometimes you just want to see your younger classmates again. 131 I graduated here last year. Oh... I'm sorry. You're alumnae? I should have recognized you... Oh, don't worry about that! Everybody says I don't act my age anyway. Here! Let me buy you something as thanks. No, that's fine. It's no big deal. Come on, let me play the caring elder. I really don't think that's necessary... [sfx- not translating] Okay, some tea. [sfx:]shine You got it! 132 [sfx- not translating] Well then... Thanks for before. See you! Sure... She's pretty cute. But weird. 133 Hello. [sfx:]start From yesterday... What are you doing now? 134 Even if you went here, it's weird to be doing this every day. I know... Do you want me to look for whoever it is you want to see? Oh... No, that's fine. I've got a phone number. Then... why don't you just call? Because... I- I'm embarrassed. 135 Ah... I see. Your sweetheart. No, no, it's not like that... Oh... it isn't? Pardon me. But... I guess it is someone that I like. You don't have much trouble sharing, huh. Oh... I guess not... 136 I was captain of my club at school here. There was someone always there to help me. Someone kind. But angry when she needed to be. Someone that everyone could rely on. I guess I just simply... fell in love. Simple is fine, for this kind of thing. I understand your feelings R... really? But... I'm a coward, so I graduated without saying anything. [top left sfx- not translating] [floating text mid-right] Geez... 137 You're her ex-captain, so I think it's fine to just drop in and see how she's doing. B... but... If I just show up out of nowhere, I'll come across as annoying. Don't overthink it. Right now, I'm just thinking... If we could meet by chance and talk a little, that'd be great. I don't know about that plan... You haven't met her yet... Plus you're acting kind of shady... "By chance"? 138 I only met you by chance. Yet you're helping me through all this. You're very kind. Thank you. I mean... I just went with the flow... Even so. Oh! Come to think of it, I never asked your name. 139 Good afternoon, Wataya-san. Araki-san! What a nice surprise. Somehow, this turned into a routine... Well, fine by me. Here you are! 140 Huh? What's wrong? You always drink this. Not that! I'm older! I should be treating you! That's the problem? All right, next time, we'll do that. O... okay... as long as you understand... Still... thank you. 141 Anyway... did you ever meet that person? Oh... Not yet. Seriously? Just call her and confess already. While you're wasting time, she'll find somebody else. She already has. 142 Huh? I'm assuming they're still together. Anyway, she's such an amazing girl. How could they ever leave her alone? Well, by the same logic... How could anybody ever leave /you/ alone? [/.../ is italics] If I had a cute captain in my school club like you... 143 [sfx:]blush [sfx:]gasp What am I saying... Well, if you're going to say that... 144 You're the most amazing of all, Araki-san. So I'm sure nobody can leave you alone. If you can say something embarrassing like that out loud, I think you can handle talking to your old clubmate. [sfx:]blush [floating text:] Ha ha ha... 145 I've made up my mind. I'm going to confess. I feel like you gave me the courage. I'll say all the things I've felt till now. 146 That's right. She's only here to meet someone. Whether the confession fails or succeeds, she won't be coming back again. How did I forget that? 147 I'm in no position to be giving people courage. 148 Well, I failed. Wataya-san, what are you doing here? Oh... Wh... what a coincidence! 149 I thought I'd be more depressed than this. I just feel relieved more than anything. I guess I just wanted a proper end. So I can move on. If I don't... I can never use the courage you gave me. 150 So... w... with that in mind... Do you think we can meet somewhere else "by chance"? 151 Times like this... You're just supposed to say "I love you." 152 Thanks for waiting. No, I just got here. So, what should we do today?
