Betrayal Knows My Name

The pain...

It hurts.

Please free me from it...

Luka, please be there for me at the end.

If I am destined to die,

I want you to be the one who frees me.

Be the one to kill me.

I'd never do anything to hurt you.

But that's all hypothetical.

I will protect you.

Wait!

I will not betray you.

Luka!

Set in Motion

Asahi Orphanage

Recently, I've been having strange dreams.

But I can't remember them after I wake up.

Yet I get the feeling they're very important and that I shouldn't forget them.

Yuki.

Kanata-san.

Good morning!

Good morning.

What are you doing here so early?

I thought I'd give you this, before I head in to the university.

Weren't you looking for a picture book?

Thank you! I'll read this to everyone tonight.

I'm sure they'll be overjoyed.

Yuki-kun, good morning!

Good morning, Kanata-nii.

You're early today!

Kanata-san brought you all a new picture book.

Awesome!

Can you read it with us later?

We'll read it after school, okay?

Hurray!

I love you, Yuki-kun!

Don't run; you might get hurt!

That was a close match the other day.

Thank you. It was all due to your coaching.

First Place

Third Place - Sakurai Yuki

I'm sorry I made you participate in my hobby after work.

Not at all.

So, was there something you wanted?

Kanata-san brought this for everyone.

He's here?

Yes.

I wish he'd come to see me sometime.

I think he had to call his boss.

He's outside right now.

He seems to be doing well.

By the way, Yuki...

Yes?

I heard you're looking for a place to live.

Yes.

There's no need to hurry.

You don't need to find one right away.

There's still time until graduation.

This is your home.

Thank you.

I'll take the time to think it over.

Yuki-kun, could you get the newspaper?

I forgot all about it.

Sure.

Sakurai Yuki, die!!

This is the second letter.

Maybe no one needs me, after all...

When you were a baby, I found you crying by the orphanage fence.

Aside from a note with "Yuki" written on it, we had no clues to your identity.

Did my father and mother not need me?

Yuki...

I just want someone

to tell me why I was born...

Why I'm here...

Y-Yes?

Yuki, wanna keep me company and walk with me?

I'll be right there.

I'll ask an acquaintance about an apartment.

Could you stop by after class?

Yes.

Something on your mind?

You don't look well.

Oh, it's nothing. I probably just need to catch up on sleep.

Are you having trouble sleeping?

I've been having lots of dreams lately.

Dreams?

But when I wake up, I can't remember them very well.

If you need someone to talk to, I'll listen.

You always try to handle things alone.

All right. I'll see you later.

That's odd...

It should be here soon.

The Sparrow Express?

Yeah.

He's close.

She's cute, isn't she?

Yuki-chan hasn't changed a bit.

She's a boy now.

Whatever. Boys can be cute, too.

Hey! You kids!

What do you want, old man?

Everyone else is lining up. Follow the rules.

Rules, huh?

Get out of here, moron!

You got ten seconds to get up or you lose. It's in the rules, old man.

You've got to follow the rules. You're an adult.

I'll be right back.

Wait, Toko-chan.

You've got to give those kids an earful before they'll listen!

I'll do it, then.

Please stop!

If you don't stop, he'll die.

Who do you think you are?

You look like a girl. Don't blame me if you get yourself hurt.

Wonderful, Yuki-chan!

L-Let go of me...

I'm sorry. It's a habit.

Shut up! Let me go, already!

I'll never forgive my good-for-nothing father.

He betrayed us, his family.

I'll never forgive him!

It's happening again...

You punk. You think you're so tough-

How lame...

Ready to give it a rest?

I called the cops.

Let's go!

You called the cops?

Nope. I lied.

Excuse me...

Thank you very much!

You should be more careful.

You're strong, but there were three of them.

And lots of people don't understand others' pain.

I wish it weren't the case, but not everyone's a good Samaritan.

All I could think about was saving him.

You...

...are too kind for your own good!

But I prefer people who help others, without self-regard, over those

who ignore people's problems.

I'm sure we'll get along.

See you around.

See you later, Yuki.

Wait!

How did they know my name?

Sakurai-kun! Sakurai-kun!

I heard you got in a fight with some delinquents.

You beat them up, right?

You're so cool...

You're really great!

Oh, uh...

You look so cute, but you're tough!
