6045 Even if it's just a glance、I want to see Ichinose...\k
6046 I'd feel at least a little better if Ichinose looks a bit lonely when I go back to the estate.\k
6047 I know I'm being stubborn.\nThat I'm breaching the contract and that I'm being a nuisance.\nBut, I couldn't help myself.\k
6048 If I followed my feelings, my feet would be drawn towards the house.\k
6049 The ancient mansion stood there, unchanging.\k
6050 I had wondered what I'd do if it had been all a dream and there was no trace of it left, but, the mansion looked majestic, and it was definitely standing before me, towering over its surroundings.\k
6051 Of course, the gate was firmly shut, and I couldn't get in.\k
6052 I clung to the gate and shouted with all my heart.\k
6053 \aTomoaki;\oEPIL_001_TOMO_0009.ogg,1;"Ichinoseeeeeeeee!"\k
6054 I want to see him.\nEven if it's just a glimpse, I want to see his face.\nBecause, we were, if only for a short while...\k
6055 Before long, I could see a figure approaching from the front door.\k
6056 That unique way of walking, with a slow tempo...\nAh. Nothing's changed. It's Ichinose.\nThe person I wanted to see.\k
6057 \aTomoaki;\oEPIL_001_TOMO_0010.ogg,1;"Ichinose!"\k
6058 The ephemeral atmosphere made me feel compelled to pray that he wouldn't disappear before my eyes.\k
6059 \aIchinose;\oEPIL_001_ICHI_0001.ogg,3;"...a...guest...?"\k
6060 Ichinose tilted his head to the side.\k
6061 \aTomoaki;\oEPIL_001_TOMO_0011.ogg,1;"...eh? You've already forgotten!? It's me! I wanted to see you! How are you!?"\k
6062 \aIchinose;\oEPIL_001_ICHI_0002.ogg,3;"...sorry...Ichinose's memory...is bad... Ah... do you have business with Mr. Kamishiro...? I'll help you..."\k
6063 Still looking like he could vanish at any second, Ichinose returned to the residence.\k
6064 I should have known.\nI have long been cut off from this residence already.\nI guess I'm just stubborn.\k
6065 Even if Mr. Kamishiro really came out, it would be troublesome...\k
6066 \aTomoaki;\oEPIL_001_TOMO_0012.ogg,1;"......"\k
6067 I ran.\nI felt like crying on the way.\k
6068 I had had a faint expectation that Ichinose might just call me "Master" again.\k
6069 Stupid. I'm so stupid.\nI had only made myself more miserable.\k
6070 It was just a dream.\nI have to return to my own path and keep moving forward.\nIchinose's blunt rejection finally opened my eyes.\k
6071 I mean it this time...\k
6072 Goodbye.\k
6073 And, thank you.\nI won't look back anymore.\k
