The Two dash through the Night

The story of her and him. The separation wrought by that night.

What kind of epilogue will the interpretation of the Laurants bring about?

<The girl with the blood of the United Kingdoms of Britannia and the country of Akitsu running through her veins>[I] have a secret I’m hiding from

<My childhood friend 8 months older than me, who I’ve always admired>[you], even though you’re important to me

No

It’s precisely because you’re <someone willing to sacrifice yourself for your friends>[you]

That I couldn’t bring myself to tell you…

(Mumbling to myself by the train window of my daily commute.

The scenery of a faraway day, filtering through blurry glass… )

Hey…

When I said I don’t have <any men that I would be happy to share a lifetime bond with>[anyone that I like]

That was a lie…

I was scared of <re-defining this relationship that I’ve taken for granted since our childhood days>[taking it a step further]

So I pretended to not notice…

This body of mine is

<Sullied beyond saving, not even the cold rain can cleanse it>[Defiled]

Please just destroy it, shatter it into pieces

I was a complete wreck

<A woman stumbling around without an umbrella>

And he held me tight

Without asking me anything

<The childhood friend that I spent the night with, three years my senior>[he]

Simply kissed me gently…

(Taking me by surprise, a twisted recollection.

My head was spinning from motion sickness,

Against the hasty sunset of the neighboring station,

I cast a weak shadow upon the asphalt… )

Sitting by the breakwater slowly sinking into darkness

Gentle time passes as I wait for that somebody

The bonfire of autumn fishing emerges from the darkness

Gentle dusk surrounds me as I think of that somebody

They all said the shrine hella works

But the person I so await has yet to come…

The cold sea breeze and the clashing waves

Steal away my warmth

Ah…<I try to cover it up with make-up, but my real face is horrifying>[I’m ugly],

<I wear cute miniskirts, but I stand with my legs apart>[boorish]

<I’m a muscle freak of a woman who’d use violence for her own sense of justice>[and a gorilla to boot]

Who in the world will be happy to receive a confession from me?

STOP destroying the reputation of gorillas! They are actually very gentle and sensitive animals!

Do I have confidence? □Yes ✓No

Am I assured? □Yes ✓No

Do I have anything? □Yes ✓No

Because that pretty girl <who got all the boons from god when his hand slipped>[with cheat stats]

Was

<Starting from kindergarten, all the way through highschool, and even during idol activities> [always]

Beside me…

(Why does she even exist?

Begone from my <Horizon>[world]!!

No…that’s not what I mean…!)

“Ah, won’t someone get rid of me!!!”

“The hell are you yapping about?”

“Did I say that out loud?

But also, you’re late. And respond on NEIN, goddammit.”

“What? Ain’t no way I can do that on my bike! Now get on!”

“...”

The two of us became the wind

The two of us became the wind

Let us remain childhood friends for just a bit longer

We’re able to remain childhood friends for just a bit longer

No matter what happens

No matter what happens

I’ll never forget the starry sky on our way back, clinging to him

I won’t forget the starry sky on our way back, in her embrace

I won’t stop until <whatever the end might be, as weird as it sounds coming from me>[the end], this l💖ve of mine

I can’t stop until <I’ve sent her home safe and sound>[her house]

We dash through a moment of eternity—

We dash through a moment of eternity—

“Hey Saruhiko.”

“What?”

“Hehe…nevermind.”

“The hell!?”

“That bike just now…was it Suwatake? He went towards Mount Kokonoe. But first, I need to send her home…”
