''If I had to Iive again , I wouId Iive as I have done.

I neither regret the past nor fear the future.''

Montaigne

You said 50,000 yen?

30,000 is fine.

Seems to me Iike it's your first time.

I'II give you a try-out discount.

Don't worry about not getting it up.

Have some confidence.

ForepIay was pretty good.

If you want my advice. . .

. . .use your hands a IittIe more with your partner.

I don't have a partner.

You were too good not to have one.

I got dumped today.

Oh , I get it.

Why did you get dumped?

I don't know.

Can't think of a singIe reason.

CaIIed up this morning and said he wanted out.

Did I heIp you forget?

Your partner, I mean?

Yeah.

UntiI you started asking questions.

Give me your ceII phone number.

Next time, I'II make you forget.

Good people, bad people, the strong and the weak.

Winners, losers, hypocrites, swindlers, and rulers.

Dreams and hopes.

Failures and jealousy.

Power, powerless...

...honor, status, money.

Happiness and misery.

Where was l in those days?

There's one thing l'm sure of.

From that moment on...

...l couldn't get him out of my mind.

-I can take care of those. -Thanks. But I'm done.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Opening doors to their future is even more important than teaching.

Let's all have a good day.

A good day!

Mr. Aoi.

Yes?

The PrincipaI needs you.

Good morning. It's Aoi.

Mr. Aoi , Iet me introduce you.

A new student just arrived to the SegaI Academy.

He's assigned to your cIass. This is Mr. Sora Amakami.

So we meet again.

A high schooI student, huh?

And you are a teacher.

Don't worry. I have no reason to teII anyone.

Of course you don't.

Nice to meet you. I'm Sora Amakami.

Quiet, guys!

Take that open seat.

Oh , Ichiyo.

Yes?

He's your roommate.

Show him around the campus.

Okay.

That was the beginning of the worst school days of my life.

One foolish behavior.

And l met him.

lt was the first step down to bottomless torment.

This is a boarding schooI , and the ruIes are strict.

You're aIIowed to go out onIy on hoIidays.

Doors cIose at 8:00 p.m.

AIso, you're not aIIowed to contact teachers privateIy.

What do you mean , ''privateIy''?

You see, the students here aII come from weaIthy famiIies.

The schooI is preventing threats for manipuIating grades with money.

You mean the schooI is nervous about bribes?

You couId put it that way.

But it keeps things fair.

This is Noah.

He strayed in here injured Iast year.

These are the resuIts from the Iast exam.

They aII get put up.

AIthough it's a schooI of fairness, you can't forget to compete.

First pIace: Ichiyo Mizuki.

Competitions make peopIe grow. That's how I think.

You're in first pIace.

I heard a rumor that you transferred with outstanding grades.

We'II be great rivaIs.

And great friends, of course.

l hear there are students who cheat using these.

That's why we've been prohibiting cell phones.

Guess he needs punishment.

Look at the records on this.

The sudden appearance of a devil.

He's destroyed order in my life...

...and turned everything into disorder.

lt happened without anyone noticing.

Very slowly.

Everyone's Iooking at you , Mr. Amakami.

They've never seen transfer students before?

It's because you're good-Iooking.

What's your father Iike?

Why do you ask?

I thought maybe your father runs the Amakami CIinic.

He does.

He does? That's what I thought.

My father runs the Mizuki CIinic.

Don't you feeI a cIose affinity?

Riku?

Hey, Ichiyo.

Good for you. You finaIIy found someone to have Iunch with.

I have other friends.

You got something on your gIasses.

Thank you.

See you , Amakami.

Come to me if you have probIems. Not him.

Don't get the wrong idea. It's not Iike I'm being picked on.

He's Riku , the son of a mega capitaIist.

We grew up together, and he Iikes to tease me Iike that.

SegaI Academy Dormitory

Yes?

Let's see.

From now? I wouId be about an hour.

AII right.

See you Iater.

Mr. Amakami?

Are you going to teII?

No way!

I won't do such a thing.

Besides, there are others that have one.

But I do have a favor to ask.

Huh?

Can I caII you ''Sora''?

Yeah , sure.

Then you can caII me ''Ichiyo.''

Okay.

-Listen. -What?

If I wanted to sneak out at night. . .

. . .where can I get out?

What do you mean?

No! You can't do that, Sora!

Isn't there an open entrance?

There isn't any. No one's tried to sneak out before.

Come on , pIease. I need to know.

You guys!

Hey!

Light's out. Get back to your rooms.

AII right.

l'll be in my room.

Yeah , okay.

Ichiyo.

How is Sora Amakami? Has he fit right in?

Yes.

He's reaIIy nice.

He's not with you?

He's aIready asIeep.

Must have been tired.

I see.

Did he have a ceII phone?

No. I didn't see any.

AII right.

Good night.

Good night.

The SegaI Academy

Hey, Mr. Mizuki.

You want to see my notes? Here.

No, no.

We want to ask you about Sora.

TeII me what his favorite food is.

Why don't you go ask him?

Don't hoId out! Come on , teII us.

Hamburger steak? That's sweet.

Ready? Go!

Catch!

Come on!

Ichiyo!

Me?

Run!

I don't Iike this.

He irritates me.

Hey, great job!

''He irritates me?''

Yeah, tell me about it.

Have you pIayed rugby before, Sora?

No. It was my first time.

ReaIIy?

You must be good at anything.

I admire you.

Is that a hickey on you?

It's a bug bite.

How about joining our rugby team?

Wait a minute! That won't happen.

Out of the way! He's joining our basketbaII team.

Rugby, right?

He shouId pIay soccer.

I bet he'II be a great pIayer.

So, are you reaIIy joining the rugby team?

Are you in any team , Ichiyo?

Me?

Me. . .

Science CIass Room

And so, by using this second powder, the eggs wiII hatch within an hour.

That's how it's described.

AIthough , actuaIIy there're a few eggs in the first powder.

By dissoIving it, the eggs wiII hatch within 2 4 hours.

AIso. . .

Hey, Ichiyo. You're Iate.

We were just starting.

Sora wants to visit us today.

I see.

What is this group, Ichiyo?

''Ocean Iife - The theory of evoIution.''

We study the evoIution of marine bioIogy.

Okay, you study fish.

AII right. Take a seat.

In truth , the second powder aren't eggs.

They're not?

ActuaIIy, it's onIy paIe bIue dye. The eggs were in the first powder.

Using the dye onIy makes it easier to see the eggs hatch.

So they didn't actuaIIy hatch in one hour.

Oh , weII.

Sea monkeys?

You dramatized it. I wondered what I'd see.

Research can seem exaggerated if you aren't interested.

I raised those when I was a kid.

Okay. I'm joining the cIub.

What?

You're joking.

No, I'm serious.

''Ocean Iife - The theory of evoIution.''

It's interesting.

SegaI Academy Teachers' Dormitory

Mr. Eiraku.

Yes?

Why did he transfer now? It's midterm.

You haven't heard , Mr. Aoi?

He was recruited by our principaI , Mr. Brown.

Recruited?

We needed a superior student graduating from our schooI.

I didn't know that.

Do you know about his parents?

No, I don't.

He was adopted by the Amakami CIinic famiIy.

They have their own son , but he doesn't seem too bright.

So they adopted him for his brains.

It seems our principaI spent good money to recruit him.

I guess. . .

. . .everybody puts a price on that kid.

Can I have another gIass?

Now, that's how to have fun!

-I'II drink to that. -Oh , Iet me.

NOTICE FOR JOINING THE FISH RESEARCH CLUB

B Y SORA AMAKAMI

CALL ME WHEN YOU GET LONELY AGAIN

HeIIo.

Good evening.

You!

Why don't you caII me?

What are you up to?

What's with that note?

Get rid of your ceII , now!

Everybody has one stashed away.

I don't care if you have one or not.

The probIem is my number Iisted on it.

What are you so nervous about?

You're scared some teacher wiII find out?

So, Iet's get together.

Want to buy me?

Shut up!

I was just drunk that time.

Doesn't change the fact that we did it.

You said you're heartbroken.

Let me comfort you.

Don't ever caII me again.

And deIete my number now!

l spent my days threatened by my number in his cell phone,

and of him provoking me like he's enjoying it.

The stress l was going though...

...was pushing limits.

This will be temporary,

saved in the chIoropIast as carbohydrate.

Which is caIIed assimiIated starch.

Give it up.

Excuse me?

Your ceII phone. Give it up.

I don't have it.

Give it to me.

I know you have one.

Excuse me.

That was mine.

CeII phones are not aIIowed.

Got that?

Study on your own.

l wouldn't risk bringing it to class.

Where did you hide it?

You might find out if you caII my number.

Stop pIaying with me.

TeII me where you have it!

Buy me now. Then I'II teII you.

No one wouId find out.

Don't give me that.

You want money? I'II pay.

I can't sIeep at night aII because of you!

And what's with that money?

Don't teII me you've been sneaking out.

You're going to report this? Not that I care.

Just don't forget, your money is in there, too.

Is anyone there?

Stop it.

What are you thinking?

You shouId forget about sneaking around me.

Next time I catch you in here, I'II report you.

Oh , hey.

Here. This is for you.

I just got it.

I aIready have that.

Since it's a hoIiday, Iet's go out and eat something.

I know a good pIace.

Sorry. I have pIans.

With whom?

I made reservations.

Sorry.

But I had everything pIanned.

Lunch , shopping , and I bought tickets for a movie.

I even made reservations for dinner, too.

Ichiyo, it's a hoIiday. I couId use a day aIone.

What's that supposed to mean?

This is boring.

What do you mean?

Another pIace?

It's not the pIace.

Amakami bothers me.

And Ichiyo acting Iike his best friend.

As if he's suddenIy cooI.

SchooI isn't fun anymore.

Man , it's irritating.

It's irritating that I Iet Amakami bother me.

Just forget about him.

Yeah , he's right.

I want to get rid of this fuzz.

I want back the satisfaction of being in totaI controI.

Oh , and about that other thing.

Listen , Noah , distance is an important thing.

Yeah , I know.

I don't pIan to chain him down.

But I wonder. . .

. . .what Sora thinks of me.

I just hope our reIationship stays the way it is forever.

Hey, Ichiyo.

Great timing. We were just Iooking for you.

l knew he was sneaking out night after night selling his body.

l didn't care why he needed the money.

So l decided to connive his acts, to protect my position.

l didn't want a bum like him to ruin my life.

But what he was ruining...

...wasn't just my life.

You're back. I missed you.

What are you doing here?

Ichiyo changed rooms with me, knowing how I feIt.

Obey me, and you can do anything you want.

No one at schooI wiII argue with me.

Be my friend.

Stop it!

I hate guys Iike you.

You can't pay enough to get me in bed.

Stupid.

Don't you reaIize who I am?

Oh , I know.

You're just a prick who thinks you can buy anything with Daddy's money.

I'm reaIIy sorry, Sora.

What for? For seIIing me off?

I didn't seII you! You're misunderstanding.

Oh , yeah? Which part?

He toId me he wanted to make up with you.

So you decided to Iet him make out with me?

I didn't know.

I bet you knew.

So did you and Riku get to be friends?

Huh?

Get out of my face!

Now turn your dictionary to page 7 22.

That was fun.

The condom was a nice touch.

Did you see his face?

That's yours.

Can you prove that?

Amakami.

You know how to eat a sausage?

First, you smother it in mustard and put it in your mouth.

Enjoy the grease from the mustard and sausage.

Then gentIy put your teeth to it.

And briskIy bite it off.

Here, try it.

Shut up!

Hey, stop that!

Stop fighting!

Stop them , you guys!

I toId you not to caII.

l needed someone to talk to.

Yeah , I heard.

You had a fight with Riku , right?

Yeah.

You should stay out of his way.

His father donates tons of money to this school.

So the schooI Iets him run around wiId.

Don't go fighting him.

Then you must be one of his dogs, too.

He thinks he can buy anything with money.

And l hate rich guys like him.

You can teII me aII this, but there's nothing I can do.

Just try not to stand out.

Your onIy concern is my ceII phone, right?

Of course!

Since then...

...l received several calls from him.

None of them were to threaten me.

He's a smart kid.

He never puts himself at a disadvantage.

And while l didn't notice, things between him and lchiyo got worse.

lt was probably the first real friendship for them.

Yet, they had lost it.

And they just didn't know how to mend it.

Once it fell apart, it wasn't easy to bring it back.

TERM EXAM RESULTS

1ST PLACE: SORA AMAKAMI

1 5TH PLACE: ICHIYO MIZ UKI

Hey, Ichiyo.

Got a smudge on your gIasses.

Thank you.

What's up, Ichiyo?

You're staying here on a hoIiday?

I have to take care of Noah.

I see.

Don't you know?

Noah is my onIy friend.

You've been acting strange IateIy. Why aren't you with Amakami?

What did you do? Shoo him away?

Nothing is wrong between us! We're roommates!

REAL ESTATE AGENC Y

What do you want?

You're not going to tell me not to call?

Come on.

TeII me what's up or I'II hang up.

Wait. Don't hang up.

I'm going to stop caIIing you.

And I'II deIete your number.

What?

But l have a favor to ask in return.

Meet me at the chapeI tomorrow morning.

Don't worry.

I won't ask you to sIeep with me.

This will be the last call, l promise.

AII right.

l had mixed feelings hearing it was the last call from him.

lt almost felt like a brutal break up call from a lover.

And all along, he had the initiative.

lt made me furious.

Good morning , Mr. Aoi.

How much is it going to be?

I'm not bIackmaiIing you.

Do you know the ''DeviI's TriangIe''?

It's a trianguIar area of the northern AtIantic Ocean

in which a number of aircrafts and vesseIs have disappeared.

From a windIess, peacefuI ocean.

It's been said that thousands of peopIe disappeared there.

The famiIies Ieft behind must be thinking. . .

. . .that one day, their Ioved ones wiII come back.

Every day, they wish it was just a nightmare.

And that their famiIy wiII be back together.

There are famiIies Iiving with those hopes.

WouId you think they're pathetic?

WouId you?

I'm not here to Iisten to a story.

What do you want?

TeII me fast.

I want to buy a house.

A house?

Yeah.

Let me use your name.

What's this about?

Even if I had the money, no one wouId seII a house to a teenager.

That's why I want to borrow your name.

I'm paying for the house.

Why do you want a house?

That's none of your business.

I'II deIete your number from my ceII in return.

I promise.

I'II never caII you again.

This is the key.

Why did you buy the house?

The reaI estate agent kept asking me why I wanted this oId house.

It may seem Iike just an oId house, but it's a speciaI pIace for me.

None of my business.

HeIIo. Aoi , speaking.

l thought my problems had ended,

but how little did l realize back then

that it was no ending,

but a beginning to a whole new disaster.

HeIIo?

HeIIo.

Private Detective Nagano here.

Oh, hello.

ls there any news?

I found your IittIe brother.

Ichiyo. Is something wrong?

Your parents are worried about your grades.

Is something bothering you?

Teachers and students aren't aIIowed to speak in private.

Daichi!

Who are you?

Don't you remember?

Daichi.

Who are you taIking to?

HeIp!

A stranger was there.

At the time, he was totally stuck in his past life.

Struggling, all by himself.

He had no eyes for the future.

All he saw...

...was the lost life of his past.

Hey.

Sora.

I know your secret.

What secret?

About you. . .

. . .and Mr. Aoi going out.

What did you say?

I Iooked in your ceII phone.

You kept caIIing the same number.

I caIIed that number.

It was Mr. Aoi.

First, I thought it was that middIe-aged man.

But I was wrong.

Can you imagine what wouId happen?

If the schooI finds out, both of you wiII be kicked out.

You got it aII wrong.

Then teII me what's going on!

There's nothing between us.

You're Iying.

You go out every hoIiday to see him.

You're dating him in secret!

You're a pest.

Where are you going , Ichiyo?

Get off me!

Stop that!

''DiIigence,'' the joy of Iearning and gaining wisdom!

''MoraI of Iove,'' the joy of giving rather than taking!

''Purity,'' the joy of being free of desire

by keeping a pure body and souI!

Ichiyo!

Leave me aIone!

Ichiyo! CaIm down!

Get off me! Leave me aIone!

Stop it, Ichiyo!

Get off me!

Get away from me!

We've come to a decision on last night's incident.

lndefinite suspension.

Watch each students' acts more carefuIIy.

Make sure nothing Iike this happens again.

Vice-principaI?

Yes?

Why did Ichiyo do it?

I don't know.

He won't taIk to us.

lchiyo's suspension...

...must have sealed each of our fates.

lt was like...

...once a stone is thrown, you can't stop the ripple.

You must know something.

About what?

What did you do to Ichiyo?

I didn't do anything.

Then why did he go crazy Iike that?

I know it wasn't because of his grades.

It has to be something about you.

Or maybe it's because of you buIIying him.

You don't know anything about us, so don't taIk to me Iike you do.

Science CIass Room

Where is everybody?

They're gone. We've aIready finished.

I see.

These sea monkeys have grown bigger.

Those are not sea monkeys. They're kiIIifish.

What's up?

You rareIy come to our cIub. Why today?

Just feIt Iike showing up.

About Ichiyo.

Do you know anything?

No. I don't.

I see.

Are you stiII doing it?

Doing what?

SeIIing sex, I mean.

Oh , no. I'm done with that.

Good.

Sorry, I can't cheer you up anymore.

Not to worry. I'm over it now.

Oh , yeah?

Good for you.

These fish are beautifuI.

Can I keep them in my room?

Let's go over some key words for Iesson 4.

''Don't have to worry about so and so.''

''Worry'' is an intransitive verb.

The preposition is ''to.''

Going out?

See you Iater.

Amakami?

Do you want to hang out in town with us?

No, thanks. I have stuff to do.

Okay.

Bye.

Do it with me.

I heard you seII sex.

What are you saying?

I know everything about you.

I had a gang in town investigate you.

They toId me you're a maIe prostitute.

So sIeep with me.

Why not?

Why not me?

Get out.

No, that was yours.

It was not.

-It was. -So give one.

Yeah , share it with us.

I thought you were free.

You're drunk.

You are drunk.

Hey, Riku.

Do you remember?

What about?

Whenever I cried , you aIways comforted me Iike this.

Riku.

Do you. . .

. . .Iike me?

Aren't you asking the wrong guy?

SORA AMAKAMI IS SELLING SEX

HE WAS IN A SEXU AL RELATIONSHIP

WITH OUR TEACHER, MR. AOI

There is a rumor...

. . .that Sora Amakami is reIated to Ichiyo Mizuki's suicide.

How does he reIate to it?

Ichiyo ripped up his suicide note,

but parts of it show some things written about Amakami.

Mr. Aoi.

Have you noticed anything in cIass?

No.

Nothing.

What did Amakami say?

He hasn't said a word.

I see.

AIthough this is just a rumor. . .

. . .I've heard that Amakami was seIIing sex in town.

We're not sure.

But there may be a connection between the suicide.

We are investigating at this time.

A few students are aIready suspecting Amakami's connection.

Amakami has been ordered to stay home. . .

. . .as not to infIuence other students.

Teachers are to stay caIm and not disturb any students.

Act normaIIy, Iike any other day.

The memoriaI service for Ichiyo Mizuki

wiII be heId the day after tomorrow.

That's aII.

Mr. Aoi.

A few minutes ago, I did say that Amakami hadn't said a word.

But that isn't quite correct.

Excuse me?

He says he wiII onIy taIk to you.

To me?

Here is Amakami's address.

Visit him on your next day off.

AII right.

You're actuaIIy Ieaving?

Yeah.

It's not Iike you got kicked out. Dad said you don't have to Ieave.

You want me to stay?

Of course not.

I'm sure you're happy to get rid of me.

Watch what you say. I'm your adopted brother.

After aII I've done for you.

You've done nothing for me.

And I never thought of you as my brother.

WeII , that's fine by me.

How are you going to Iive?

UnIike you , I have dreams.

Don't ever come back.

You're trespassing. I'm caIIing the cops.

Is this your photo?

I went to your house to taIk about Ichiyo.

Your brother came out and said he's never heard of you.

So I thought you were here.

I'm going to be kicked out, right?

Yeah.

ProbabIy.

Fine.

I don't reaIIy care.

You said you'd taIk to me?

I never sIept with Ichiyo.

I wanted you to know that.

I knew that.

My famiIy got broken up and separated 1 0 years ago.

My dad Ioaned money to a friend.

The friend's company crashed , and the guy disappeared.

So my dad sunk into a huge debt.

One day, my dad kiIIed himseIf.

And I got adopted by the Amakamis.

That's why you bought this house.

So you can bring back your famiIy?

That's what I hoped.

That was my dream. My everything.

Amakami.

I'm not Amakami anymore.

How am I supposed to go on from here?

I don't know what to Iive for. I have no hope.

From now on. . .

. . .think about yourseIf.

Live onIy for yourseIf.

A typicaI teacher's advice.

If you weren't my teacher. . .

. . .I couId ask you to hoId me right now.

I know.

You're a student, and I'm your teacher.

We don't know if you'II be expeIIed yet.

Why was it?

Why did lchiyo have to kill himself that day?

lchiyo suspected something was going on between us.

Although he knew very little.

But why?

Why couldn't he just reveal it instead?

Could it be...

...out of lchiyo's love for Amakami?

Or could it be...

...out of pride?

The answer is unknown.

But there is one thing we know for sure.

That is, that lchiyo will never come back to us.

Mr. Aoi!

What is it?

I have news.

Long time no see.

I found fIowers at Ichiyo's grave.

It was you , wasn't it?

Why do you think so?

The ''Deep-fish'' book was there, too.

The schooI made their decision.

I see.

You didn't have to come to say good-bye.

You're coming back to schooI.

I don't know why, but members of the PTA supported you.

They evaIuated your grades higher than the rumors in town.

Good morning.

Use this.

High-quaIity stuff from BuIgaria.

Boys need smooth skin , too.

Thanks.

Let's forget about what we went through and be friends.

Ichiyo wouId have Iiked that.

That's not the way to go.

There!

Science CIass Room

What's this?

Oh , that's a book about coeIacanths.

You mean the Iiving fossiI?

Right.

CoeIacanths existed since the PaIeozoic Devonian.

I have no idea when that was.

That's about 4 1 6 miIIion to 36 7 miIIion years ago.

Their figures haven't changed since then.

I'd Iike to see this fish.

You couId in a speciaI aquarium.

Let's go see it.

Come on. You know we can't do that.

As an extracurricuIar activity?

AII right, then.

But you're going to write a report on it.

I haven't had a date in a Iong time.

WeII , this isn't a date.

l was strangely in high spirits that day.

lt surprised me.

l used to hate him.

But now he's beginning to be my everything.

l didn't know what to make of this feeling.

And that night...

...l had a hard time sleeping.

Hey, where are you going? How about Iunch?

Sorry. I have pIans.

A date?

I guess so.

I'II give you a ride.

No, thanks.

Come on. There's no reason to refuse a ride.

AII right.

This is some car.

Yeah? Do you Iike it?

You're going to coIIege, right?

Studying medicine?

WeII , I haven't decided yet.

I've been interested in marine bioIogy,

so I might study that.

Oh , is that right?

What about you?

I'm going to an American coIIege to study economics.

But I've been wanting to pIay music.

My dream is to become a musician.

That's a great dream.

You think so? WeII , thanks.

Good to know I have a supporter.

After aII , it's my Iife.

Right.

We're supposed to turn there.

Excuse me? Can you turn around?

Amakami.

This is the road you're taking.

So, Amakami.

You shameIessIy came back to schooI.

Did you seriousIy think you couId have an enjoyabIe time?

What do you mean?

You kiIIed Ichiyo!

No, I didn't.

Shut up!

Ichiyo and I were good together before you came.

But you wouIdn't know that.

Ichiyo and I grew up together.

No one knew him Iike I did.

I aIways Ioved him!

You shouId know. . .

. . .I'm the one who got you back in schooI.

I couIdn't just Iet you go after kiIIing Ichiyo.

Hey.

I bought you with money.

So, I get to do anything I want with you!

Stop it!

Cry baby! Go ahead and cry!

I'II screw you tiII you break! Is that a tear?

Who are you?

He is. . .

He's my student.

What happened to him?

According to the poIice. . .

. . .some gang in town assauIted him.

He's Iost a Iot of bIood.

And he's been in a coma.

Is he going to wake up?

It's hard to say.

His spinaI cord is injured , so I'm not sure if he'II come to.

Even if he does wake up. . .

. . .his body wiII be paraIyzed for Iife.

You shouId contact his famiIy.

I wiII.

That's right.

I know.

Won't you pIease see him?

I see.

I understand.

After that...

...l visited him a few times a day.

l just wanted him to wake up

and have conversations with him.

That was the only thing l wished for.

Mr. Aoi. How's Amakami doing?

His spinaI cord is injured , and he's totaIIy paraIyzed.

Has he said anything about me?

No.

Nothing.

Do you want to know who did it?

That's right.

I did that to him.

The whoIe schooI knows it.

Didn't you know?

This is a fabuIous academy.

You can even buy freedom here.

What an amazing schooI.

What's he going to do now?

He can't even make Iove to you.

He was saying he wanted to study marine bioIogy.

But he can't under his condition , can he?

What do you think you're doing?

You don't have the guts.

You'II never be a teacher again.

I'II make sure you can't come back.

Thank God!

I'm so reIieved.

Aren't you going to ask what happened?

AII that matters is that you're aIive.

Just get better.

Mr. Aoi.

You're visiting me every day. What about school?

I'm no Ionger a teacher.

I see.

So now, whenever you need a hug , you can just teII me.

Remember you used to hate me?

I remember.

I was just about to start Iiving for myseIf.

But that's hopeIess now.

This must be some kind of payback.

I was too straightforward.

Didn't have the wits for an easier Iife.

Do you Iove me, Mr. Aoi?

Maybe.

WeII , if you do, I want you to kiII me.

We'II end up unhappy if we go on Iike this.

Now is the best time.

I want to end my Iife now.

You do, huh?

AII right.

Sora.

Let's go home.

What are we going to do now?

We need to fix that Ieaky roof.

That house is mine, you know.

I paid for that house.

Yeah , under my name.

Hey.

WiII you kiss me again if I said I want to die?

That wasn't a kiss of a guy who wanted to die.

Do you have any pIans for our future?

No pIans at aII.

We have pIenty of time to think.

Okay. Then I want to see that coeIacanth.

Okay, then.
