Day Break Illusion: Fumikomenai Kokoro (幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽 踏み込めない心)

There you go.

Thank you very much.

No problem.

Please take care!

Oh!

Whoa, what a crowd!

Come on, Akari! Hurry!

Coming!

itakute slow motion taorekonda yoru

One night I collapsed with pain, in slow motion

gyutto shita boku no mune kara surihetta rhythm

My heart used to be so strong, and now it is broken

zanzou to samayoinagara te ni ireta me wa

I wandered with afterimages of my dreams

toumei na ai wo nigoshite utsushidashitekita

and my eyes beheld a faint love they themselves defiled

mawaru kodoku na mirai

The future shifts, always lonesome

seottemo bokura wo narashite susume

We carry that future and press on ahead

sora wo tsukisasu hikari ni natte

I will be the light that breaks the sky

hoshi ni yaiba wo tamete

and puts blades into the stars

koboreochisou na kizu wo zenbu

When it seems like my wounds

kanata ni nuguisatte umarekawareba

were incurred in vain

I will shed them to be reborn

toki no rasen wa chigau michi wo shimesu kono te de

in the endless cycle of life to find a different path for us

tsutsumikomarete tsunagiatte

I will wrap you in my arms and hold your hand

mata musubarete hajimaru saa

so that something new can begin

Dark Spot of the Sun

Please place your hand on the tarot cards and close your eyes.

Okay.

Let's see... The Moon is coming up for your past.

It appears you're uncertain about where your current relationship is going.

That uncertainty has been passed on to the person you're seeing, and they're feeling awkward.

However,

The Moon also strongly represents insights, dreams, and imagination.

The Sun has come up for your future,

and The Empress for your outcome.

Thank you very much.

My pleasure. Thank you for coming.

Jeez. There sure is no shortage of customers these days.

Yeah, no kidding.

Her fortunes are usually right on the mark, so I'm not surprised.

Guess you can't fight genetics.

Fortune-telling abilities are genetic?

Who knows?

It'd be nice if they were.

I wanna follow in my mom's footsteps as soon as I can.

Being a fortune teller is hardly a stable job, though.

I hope Hinata is okay with this up in Heaven.

I'm sure she is.

She even left me these cards as a keepsake.

Hinata always said she wanted to use the tarot to help people.

Yes.

A lot of people were grateful for Hinata's fortune telling.

But every now and then, she just looked so sad.

Really? I never noticed.

Do you know something that we don't?

No. It was just a feeling I got.

Fortune teller's intuition, I guess.

I should head home. Auntie will be wondering where I am.

I keep mentioning this, but you're more than welcome

to live here like you used to.

It's fine. Everyone is really nice to me over there.

See you later!

That's so cute.

Oh...

E-Excuse me. You dropped this.

Thank you very much.

Oh, no problem.

She's so pretty.

Well?

There's no doubt about it.

The Wheel of Fortune has begun to turn.

Fuyuna, help me!

Fuyuna!

Help me!

Oh, my.

I see your room is still a jungle.

I'm saved!

I guess I just let it grow out of control again.

I guess you did.

It's grown all the way to my window.

Oh, you're right. I'm sorry!

Want to do some pruning with these?

No, I'll sort it out later.

Thanks. It's almost dinnertime, by the way.

Oh, wait!

Open it!

What is it?

Oh, it's so cute.

Isn't it? I found it in the shopping district.

How is it?

It looks great on you!

Akari, how's the fortune-telling job going?

It's a lot of fun!

Though I'm still an apprentice, so I don't get paid yet.

What's so interesting about tarot cards, anyway?

Oh, only everything!

There are all kinds of theories about the origins of the tarot.

The most prominent one suggests that it began with cards

produced around the turn of the 15th century in Northern Italy.

Though personally, I think the first cards might've been made by the ancient Egyptians or the Jews—

And that's enough of that.

I swear your obsession with those tarot cards is as bad as Hinata's.

Well, it's good that she has a hobby, at least.

How about you, Fuyuna?

Yeah. I have one too.

That so? What is it?

U-Um...

Whatever it is, just make sure you don't neglect your schoolwork.

Okay.

Oh, maybe I'll have you tell me my fortune, Akari.

Sure. Any time you like!

Maybe I'll ask you to read mine too.

Of course!

Do you wanna hear your fortune too, Fuyuna?

I-I'm fine.

Thanks for the food.

By the way, Akari, your mother's second anniversary is coming up.

It's on a Sunday this time.

Just like the day she died.

Thank you.

All right, here are your midterm results from the other day.

Wow, Fuyuna.

Top of the class again!

The topics I studied just ended up being on it. That's all.

Wow, Akari! That's spot on!

Really?

Oh, what?

The Star is showing, so I think your good fortune will continue to improve.

Thanks! I'll do my best!

Do me too!

Could you foretell what's for dinner tonight?

I kinda doubt it...

How about the answers for the next test?

I can't see that kind of stuff!

Were you up all night researching the tarot again?

Yup. I wanna know everything about it.

Do you want to be a fortune teller when you're older?

Yeah. I wanna help people,

and I really enjoy fortune telling.

I don't think things are that easy in this world.

Life isn't so simple that you can just do whatever you like.

The people whose fortunes you tell

will be grateful if you're correct, but they'll be angry if you're wrong.

Humans are selfish,

so who knows if you'll be able to help everyone you meet.

That's true, but if I started off with that mindset, I wouldn't be able to do anything at all.

You're really smart, Fuyuna, so you can do whatever you want.

But all I have is the tarot cards my mother left me.

E-Even I...

Never mind.

Maybe I said too much.

Akari!

You seem down. What's wrong?

H-Huh? Do I?

Yeah, you're usually beaming as brightly as the Sun.

You're always listening to other people's problems,

but there's no one you can talk to about your own, right?

Oh, that's not true.

Look out!

What?!

This is bad...

the phantom-piercing sun

the phantom-piercing sun

The Tower.

Ruin, accidents, and trouble.

But depending on how you look at it, it's also a trial to be overcome

leading to the start of something new.

What's this reading for, anyway?

I had quite a scare today,

so I was wondering if some misfortune had come my way.

I see.

There've been some dangerous goings-on lately.

In fact, there was some weird guy out the front of our place just the other day.

You know, the middle-aged guy with the long hair.

He came to ask what he could do to get his wife back.

Oh, him.

I told him there was nothing he could do.

Maybe he's got a grudge against us.

We should be careful.

If anything were to happen to Akari,
