I was able to remember... I could feel it.

A... yuurei. You couldn't have been alive anymore. Why were you here...? I knew your name, and you...

Ugh! It still... hurts.

[A long pause, and then a deep sigh. His voice is quiet, as though very tired.]

We can't go back anymore, can we?

Sorata-kun, you shouldn't have said anything. Now I'll have to take your advice after all.

I will need that time off, and you will have to rely on yourselves for awhile. It may only be a day, or more, but you will be the first to know either way, Shinjiro. I'm...
