Never Let Me Go (わたしを離さないで)

"Having a dream is such a waste!"

"Because your future had been decided!"

What is this? - Transmitter.

*In electronics and telecommunications, a transmitter is an electronic device which produces electromagnetic waves.*

It's in our shoes.

"We have decided to date."

I envy, I hate, and I forgive that woman.

It keeps repeating.

Nevertheless, why (did I still go to meet her)?

She fell from the stairs outside, and broke her leg.

What did she do there? - I don't know.

Next, I'll leave it to you.

Wait a minute.

I think, I shouldn't be her carer. This is also for her sake.

Stop complaining, just follow the procedure.

Did she intentionally hurt her self, so that I won't stop being her carer?

"You'll come again, right?"

I wonder if she did that to make me feel regret (because I had left her).

How ridiculous!

Yet, I couldn't cut off my relationship with someone who did that ridiculous thing.

"All of you will never be anything."

We are living in a world that separates us from any possibility.

In that kind of world, we only have a very very limited way to bring happiness into our lives.

For example..

For example..

Hey, they're coming!

Though I shouted "They're coming!", no one could heard me, huh?

Sorry, Minegishi-san. Everyone is kind of "busy".

You guys are so "busy" in this sunny day? Is this already your mating season, huh?

You guys are like pigs! Right, Agu Pig?!

*It's a pun made from her name. Anyway, ?Agu? is a traditional breed Okinawa indigene pig which its breedings had been used of food since it was first found in the period of Ryukyu Kingdom.*

Hungry~ Angry~

My name is Kanai Aguri. Nice to meet you.

Why did he do that?

Just ignore him, that's the way he is.

This is the kitchen. Minegishi-san usually brings us the groceries, once a week.

We cook using the groceries he brought and as for the cooking turn, we do it as we like.

As we like?

Well, some of us can't cook..

As for washing clothes, you should do it yourself.

How about the cleaning? How should we take turn?

Ah, do it as you like.

You can do it whenever you want.

Okay..

Then, these are your rooms.

These two women may use those rooms.

Your room is there.

But, it's only temporary.

Temporary? - Let me show you.

What did she mean by 'temporary'?

Where is Tomo's room?

Does he get his own room?

Whoa!

Sorry..

"Is this already your mating season, huh? You guys are like pigs!"

So that's what he meant.

What a messy room!

Whoa!

Tomo, what are you looking at?

Whoa, the fish is flying!

That's not a fish, it's a dolphin.

Dolphin? - Yes, a mammal.

Hoo, cool!

Eh, where are you going?

Toilet.

What is this?

It's called television.

Hoo...

Are you one of the new people who came from Yoko Institute?

Yes. - Your name?

Hoshina Kyoko.

Kyoko-chan?

Yes.

I'm Tachibana Kousuke.

Just call me "Kousuke".

If you feel lonely, you can call me.

Ah..

We're back!

"We're back"?

Most of veterans here are couple, right?

*Veterans refer to older 'people' who had already been at the Cottages before Kyoko, Tomo, and Miwa arrived. We call them "veterans" because the book used that term.*

Well, sometimes we change partners..

Here.

You heard it, Tomo? - Ah, yes..

Kyoko should also find a partner, ok?

Ah, yes..

What's wrong, Kyoko-chan?

Here are the sausages!

This afternoon, where did you go?

Ah, we were back from The Carer Training.

What is The Carer Training?

Moreover, what is Carer?

No one told you about that?

Would you please, tell me about it?

Well then, a Carer is..

You know about the "donors", right?

Ah, yes.

After the donors lose one of their organs, they still have to do their daily activities.

A carer is someone who helps the donor.

Soon, you guys will also have to attend The Carer Training and then work as carers.

About being a carer..

Is it a must thing to do?

Well, it's okay if you don't want to do it.

But, it means you should immediately be a donor.

Are you okay with that?

Eh?

Eh, then..

This is unbelievable!

Though they don't know about that, they're allowed to move in the cottages.

While we had to apply and pass the test to be allowed to live in this cottage.

We even had to fulfill some requirements first before we could attend that The Carer Training!

There's nothing we can do about that, because Yoko's alumni are special.

But..

However, their specialness ends here.

From now on, we're all the same. That's the good thing, right?

Well, yes..

Anyway, while we're all here, let's be friends with each other.

Okay? Let's have fun!

Yosh, let's eat! - Let's eat!

I'll eat this first.

Why are we the only one who didn't we know about it?

I don't know.

Is it because no one in Yoko told us about that, or we...?

I said, I don't know!

Sorry..

I'm fed up with this.

"You will never be a soccer player."

So, this is what she meant..

Tomo, I'm coming in.

Ah, come in!

Eh, what is this?

Ah, things I got from Tatsuko-sensei.

Why are we the only one who didn't we know about it?

"Why are we the only one who didn't we know about it?"

Is it because no one in Yoko told us about that, or...?

What are you doing?

Wait.. - Argh!

Stop it!

Ah, sorry..

No good will come even if you keep those things!

We have no choice but being carers and then being donors, right?

After that, we will be "completed", right?

*She means, they will get the "completion" (a process that a donor will get after he/she had gone through the series of operations and consequent deteriorations)*

If you keep thinking about that, you will only feel miserable, right?

What are you doing?

I feel so sad..

I'm crying!

Eh?

I'm trying to say, "Please comfort me!"

You do like me, right?

"But, it means you should immediately be a donor. Are you okay with that?"

"Eh?"

Is this okay? - Ah, yes..

Does it hurt?

Sorry..

Please, be more gentle.

Ah!

Bite me.

Eh?

Here.

Bite me!

Good morning!

Could you give me a glass of water?

Ok.

Tomo said, "Because you're mine."

It's hard to hide this mark..

Are you okay? You look so pale.

I'm okay.

Ok.

It's because you're so delicate, Kyoko..

Lack of sleep?

Maybe..

Today's breakfast feels so delicious!

Did you cook these?

Yes.

She could be a cook, right? - Right, she could!

How about being a part-timer somewhere? - Nice idea! How about in a Kare Restaurant?

Like a poster girl! - Ah, indeed!

*Poster Girl: a girl who attracts people to come to the restaurant*

What is a "poster girl"? - I saw it on TV, few days ago..

Could you please stop talking about that?

Because I won't be any of that, right?

I will only be a carer, right?

What the heck? We're just kidding!

But Yoko is special, right?

I heard there's someone who works in the public aquarium.

I think, it's just a lie. - Ah, I also heard that rumor!

There are some rumors like that, right?

They say, some "people" are working in a public aquarium or a gas station.

Kyoko, don't you know it?

I never heard about it.

Because Kyoko is too serious, everyone might find it hard to tell you about that.

Right, Tomo?

No, I also..

Ah, Tomo..

You heard that rumor, right?

So, there's someone who works in a gas station..

Both of them are from Yoko?
