Sakurada Reset (Sagrada Reset)

I'll leave Sakurada, forget about my ability, and live out the rest of my life.

It'll just be a week, though.

Do you want to know your own future?

Yes.

Even if it's of something painful?

Yes, please.

You're going to be involved in something big...

Something involving my successor.

Does such a person exist?

The Bureau has been looking for one for a long time.

But no matter how much they looked, they couldn't find anyone with the ability to see the future.

However...

you know someone who DOES possess it.

You've met that person a little over two years ago.

Is your successor...

Is the future-seeing ability user a girl?

Yes.

About the age of a middle schooler, short hair, slender, big eyes...

Yes.

Is it the girl who had died two years ago?

Correct. And you will run into her again.

It's been two weeks since the start of the second semester.

The same two weeks since Sumire Soma died.

She won't be coming to the rooftop anymore.

The sound of the passage of time is now (feel, close your eyes)

A melody that moves the future (begins today)

What kind of world is waiting for me? (Who is calling me?)

I tried asking myself (in my heart)

In the middle of what's ideal and real (I looked for it)

I moved the clock hands (I moved them)

To erase the sadness (again and again)

I ran down the dark flight of stairs (recreate the past)

I have something I want to protect (I want to protect you)

Say it out loud (try reset again)

We'll run into each other again someday

I stopped spending time on the rooftop, too.

I always end up stopping right in front of the door.

I've also lost the opportunity to meet up with Misora Haruki.

It was about a week ago that we last met.

We were called to the staff room and encouraged to join the Service Club.

The last thing we did was sign the club member application.

No.

I avoided Haruki, to be precise.

When I'm sad, Haruki is sad, too.

I don't want to see her until I'm able to smile as if nothing's wrong.

But it's already been two weeks.

This is a good chance to change things.

A young boy used his ability and accidentally hurt a girl he's friends with.

I guess he still doesn't really know what kind of ability he has.

So, I'd like you to use Haruki-san's reset ability

and make the world go back to before the boy used his ability.

Then, tell me the details from this time with your memory retention ability.

The Bureau will deal with the rest.

Yes, ma'am.

Where is Haruki-san?

I think her homeroom class hasn't been dismissed yet...

probably.

I see. I'll tell her later, then.

It's your first job in the Service Club, right?

Good luck.

Kei, I can't use my reset ability.

Is it because you haven't saved?

No, I saved at around 5 PM two days ago.

Then, how come you can't reset?

I'm not sure, but I don't feel like I can use my ability.

Why don't you sit down for now?

Is sitting better?

You can sit or stand. You should do whatever you like.

Haruki is changing.

She's going to feel a lot of things from now on.

She's going to learn that from you.

You were able to save two days ago, right?

Yes. I believe I did.

How do you know?

I don't have difficulty when it comes to saving.

But I don't feel like I can use my reset ability to start with.

What's the difference between the two?

You ordered me to save.

I did?

Yes. You tell me to save once in three days.

Oh...

Kei, please give me orders to reset.

If you order me to, I'll feel like I can reset.

Why aren't you ordering me to reset?

If I think about the future, it would be best if you reset on your own, Haruki.

It might become a huge problem someday if you always need me to order you to do it.

I thought he'd order me to reset right away...

Has Kei grown to hate resetting?

I feel like there's a high possibility of that.

My reset ability probably has something to do with Sumire Soma's death.

Kei has been avoiding me ever since Sumire Soma died.

Even though he would ask me to reset before...

Even though I had decided to use my reset ability for Kei...

I'm sure that's why!

You can't use your ability in Sakurada unless you want to.

I decided to follow Kei Asai's lead.

But Kei lost his desire to use my reset ability.

He SHOULD desire it.

I'm sure the deepest part of my mind had decided that.

That's why I lost my ability to reset.

Sumire Soma died as a result of a reset.

The Soma who was alive in the pre-reset world died in the post-reset world.

I've been so naive.

Basically, the same events from before the reset will happen again, even if we reset.

There weren't any changes to the contents in the newspaper.

The sports match results, the fluctuations in the stocks, and the car accident in the town nearby...

are exactly like before the reset.

So, the future doesn't change just from resetting.

I had thought my ability to retain memories from before a reset was the only exception.

But...

Sumire Soma died without my involvement.

I don't know the reason, but if we do a reset, accidents can occur.

So, I could no longer order her to reset.

Do I have to use my reset ability?

Kei is probably refusing to reset.

But tomorrow, I'm sure he'll order me to reset without batting an eye.

If I reset, I can handle the Service Club jobs.

I can save somebody somewhere.

If it's to save people, Kei will eventually choose to reset.

In that case, I need to use my reset ability.

Reset.

I knew it. I think something within me doesn't want to reset.

It's probably that thing called "feelings" that is refusing a reset.

When I look at you, you always remind me of two identically shaped white boxes.

You're facing the two white boxes in a white room.

You have to open one of them, but you don't know which one is the correct one.

I don't understand what that means.

It means the world is something that is that uneventful to you.

If the boxes are colored, you can pick your favorite color and open it.

If the shape of the boxes is different, you can even go based on shape.

But what's in front of you are two white boxes that are identical at any given time.

That's what Sumire Soma said.

But things are different now.

I see resetting and not resetting as two very different choices.

They're clearly different.

My logic is telling me that I should reset.

Kei prefers that, too.

But my feelings are refusing to.

Kei also hates my reset ability.

Reset.

Reset.

I'm...

scared of being hated by Kei.

I'm from the Bureau.

How was it?

The Bureau determined that the death of Sumire Soma was an accident that had no connection to abilities.

How?

The connection between Misora Haruki's ability and Sumire Soma's death isn't clear.

That's not possible. She was alive before we reset.

You're the only one claiming that.

Are you trying to tell me I'm lying?

The Bureau determined that they can't deny that possibility.

You guys can at least investigate whether I'm telling the truth or not, right?

I can't answer that question.

If I'm able to prove that I'm telling the truth, will you save Soma?

No.

Sorry, I misspoke.

Even if what you say is true, the Bureau won't get involved in this incident.

They will decide that Sumire Soma's death was an accident that was not caused by an ability.

I see...

Please tell me one last thing, then.

Can the Bureau bring Sumire Soma, the girl who died two weeks ago, back to life, if they want to?

I can't answer that question.

If they are an organization that manages abilities in Sakurada,

wouldn't they also know what ability can save her?

I can't answer that question.

Reset.

Reset.

Reset.

Are you crying?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I came to see the sunset.

Oh, yeah? Why?

Just because. I was in the mood for it.

I see.

Want a Kit Kat?

Sure.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Did you know that a girl died around here?

I do. She was from my school.
