Yuki's mother: YOU CAN'T MAKE decisions <panel: Yuki's face, wide-eyed> <panel: Mayu calmly trying to intervene> Mayu: Mrs. Souma Yuki's mother: Well, what's wrong with that? You can't make decisions on your own, can you? <panel: ripples caused by falling rain> Yuki's mother: The only decision you ever thought of was going into this obscure senior highschool... Nee, Yuki, you just be like you really are, like before. <panel: focus on Yuki's wide eye> Yuki's mother: When met by opposition, you just stay silent. Gradually and steadily, don't make me worry so much. Mayu: Mrs. Souma... p. 08
Mayu: Mrs. Souma, please stop. Right now, you are exceedingly forcing bad logic on your son <panel: Yuki's mother looking at her in surprise, while Yuki remains silent, eyes hidden> <panel: Yuki's mother looking amused> Yuki's mother: ...what are you saying? Narration: ... say it <panel: profile of Yuki, looking pressured> Narration: If I don't put it on words. On my own. What I think. <panel: Mayu and Yuki's mother talking> Yuki's mother: Aah...

Yuki and his mother talking in their house's living room. Yuki's mother sitting on the couch, presumably almost 3 years ago.> Jr. High Yuki: That's not it. I just said that I wanted to go to an outside senior highschool. Yuki's mother: Whoever promoted that is wrong. <panel: Jr. High Yuki looking a bit frustrated> Yuki's mother: But that's strange, isn't it. Don't say something like that suddenly. Jr. High Yuki: It's not suddenly. <panel: Yuki's mother> Jr. High Yuki: I don't like this, being a Souma. Always, always been... until now, I didn't like it... p. 10
Yuki's mother: Not even once, since you were a child, did you ever even said "I don't like it". <panel: Jr. High Yuki's shocked face> Yuki: ......... Am I <panel: Jr. High Yuki still looking stunned> Jr. High Yuki: a tool...? <panel: a cup of tea> Jr. High Yuki: Of 'Kaasan. <panel: Yuki's mother looking very cold> Yuki's mother: So what if that's the case?
<Silhoutte of Jr. High Yuki> Yuki's mother: So what if you're a tool? <panel: Yuki's mother angrily putting a hand on her forehead> Yuki's mother: Geeez... <Yuki's mother angrily throwing the pillow behind her on the floor> Yuki's mother: Having an idiot like Ayame is good enough... <panel: Jr. High Yuki starts to cry silently> Narration: If it's like this. What's the significance of words. It's useless when it's missed. If it can't reach. <panel: block panel with rain ripples> Narration: If that's the case, might as well let it die. p. 12 <panel: Current Yuki profile looking hopeless> Narration: Mou, for the second time, words are useless, it would seem <panel: hand opening the door (sfx sliding door opening)>

Mother:... Ayame: For a person to wake up, it's a hindrance to the very end. It wasn't easy fixing my hair either. Well, mou, don't worry about such useless thing, Yuki. <panel: Ayame puts his hand on Yuki's head> Ayame: I'm a member of what my little brother believes in. Now, on with the career interview!! p.14 <Panel: Yuki's surprised face> <Panel: SD illustration of Mother going to angry monster-type mode, Ayame looking aloof, Yuki going into Tooru-style super-shock mode, Mayu with dotted eyes> Mother: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Yuki: Eh!? <panel: Ayame bowing like a true gentleman and offering his flowers to Mayu, Yuki sweating> Mother: Wh-wh-wh-why did you come here!? Ayame: These roses are for you, my lady... My beloved Teacher, my happiness is from deep in my heart for being a wonderful sensei and female role model to guide my brother's path in this given situation... Mayu: <softly> Ha... thanks... <panel: Ayame smiles hapily and slaps the table while Mother clutches her purse, SD, furious in the background> Ayame: Well, then, let's start the interview. Mother: ANSWER THE QUESTION AYAME!! p. 15 <panel: Ayame calmly talks, while Yuki still looks rattled in the background> Ayame: Will you quiet down a little, Haha-kimi. Yuki's important future is not something futile. (Ina-chan:<bug-eye> I CAN'T BELIEVE Aya-chan used a -kimi honorific for his mother! Mind you, "kimi" is an informal feminine "pronoun". But it can also be used in context of passive aggressive defiance if you are referring to an elder, since -kimi is somewhat equivalent to "-kun". i.e. such as Ayame referring to "Tooru-kun". It's not insulting to Tooru since she's younger than Ayame.) Yuki:... <panel: Ayame sighing in exasperation, Mother bristling in fury> Ayame: Yare, yare <sigh>. To be quite frank, you're being a hindrance. Mother: Y-y-you coming here is the hindrance!! <panel: Mayu smelling a rose, Yuki still sweating> Ayame: Why don't you just leave everything between Yuki, myself and Sensei. Mother: <Ina-chan can't read> Yuki: <thinking> Kaasan and... Niisan, have they always been so volatile like this... Mayu: <thinking> I knew it, she doesn't seem like such an important person now... <panel: Mother really looking pissed off> Mother: At any rate... You never opened your mouth involving Yuki in the past, why are you doing this now <panel: Ayame's eyes closed> Mother: You've always neglected him <panel: Yuki's frozen expression> Mother: I won't allow Yuki to be influence by an underrated person like you!! p. 16 <panel: Mother stops in her tracks> Yuki: A dependable person. Niisan, that is. <panel: Ayame looks surprised as well> Yuki: It's true... he messed up big, many times... <panel: Yuki profile> Yuki: But he's not underrated... he's not... <panel: Ayame blushing and taking out his cellphone, Yuki grabbing his shoulder, Mayu watching them dot eyed> Ayame: ......... Yuki: STOP IT... Don't report everything to Hatori...... <Yuki says a side comment, but it's too small for Ina-chan to read> Ayame: It's fine, I'll jist tell him by mail instead... <panel: Shadow profile of Mother> Ayame: It'll be the same thing. Mother: ...... p. 17 <panel: Ayame oblivious to Mother's shadowed image> Mother: Since when... did the two of you, have... Ayame: Oya, oya, you mean us reflecting the close love between brothers!? <panel: close-up of Mother's grimacing face> Ayame: You don't understand? <panel: Mother confronting Ayame> Ayame: Yuki has given me the chance to repair things between us. <panel: Yuki looking at Ayame> Ayame: Including you, in starting to change the futility between us. <panel: Mayu looking deep in thought> Ayame:... still can't understand? Right now, you are who I used to be in the past. <panel: Ayame's profile> Ayame: Existing to trample over what's important, hurting others p. 18 <panel: Mother's clenched fist> Mother: Ho... <panel: Mother very upset, yelling at Ayame, seated beside Yuki> Mother: How dare you saying those things to me... Going against your parent!! I've never been so insulted... <pamel: Mother turning around angrily> Mother: No one knows my hardships. I SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO THE BOTH OF YOU!! <panel: close-up on Yuki's surprised face as sfx of door closing loudly> <panel: Mayu stands up, but Ayame stops her> Mayu: ...... Ayame: Leave her alone <panel: Yuki looking pensive> Ayame: There's no use talking to that person when she's intensely angry like that Narration: Please do your best
<panel: Yuki remembering Tooru> Narration: Please, do your best. <panel: Yuki slams his hand on the desk> Yuki: I'm... <panel: Yuki leaving the room, Ayame watching him> Yuki: going... Ayame: Oya oya... Is that okay? <panel: Yuki stops> Yuki:... Niisan <panel: Yuki stands by the door> Yuki: For today... <panel: close-up on Ayame> Yuki: Thank you ...for coming p. 20 <panel: Ayame typing a text message in his cell phone while Mayu watches him in amusement. Gomen, Ina-chan can't read the tiny hand-written text.> Ayame: Listen here, Tori-san... Mayu: Again... Won't he get mad? But seriously, how did you really know to come. <Mayu says something in a side comment that Ina-chan can't read> <panel: SD symbols of Ayame the snake and Mayu's angry face> Ayame: I heard it from Gure-san Mayu: Ah-- Mou..., that man... <panel: SD outline of Mayu and Ayame, who is still text messaging> Ayame: No, no, but putting all that aside, our Haha-kimi is really an interesting person. Her love for money and status above everything else is her master. But because of my natural kingly disposition, you can say that it was the source of her unhappiness for she wasn't able to adapt to it. <makes a side-comment that Ina-chan can't read> Mayu: Haa... <panel: Focus on Mayu> Ayame: That's why, all of Haha-kimi's expectations took root on Yuki. <panel: Ayame pauses, looking more serious> Ayame: ...I regret not realizing it earlier <panel: Mayu smiling gently> Mayu:...... but, he said you were dependable. p. 21 <panel: Ayame smiles happily, interposed with Yuki chasing his mother in the hallway> Yuki: ...'Kaasan. Wait... <panel: Yuki reaching out for her shoulder> Yuki: ...wait <panel: holds on his mother's shoulder. His eyes widen> Yuki: Ha <panel: Yuki holding his mother's shoulder> Yuki:... Mother: What...? <panel: Angle on Mother> Mother: I'm telling you now, if you leave things as they are, you'll end up underrated just like that person. <panel: focus on Yuki> Narration: This person... p. 22 <panel: Yuki still holding on to his mother's shoulder> Narration: Has this person always been this small. This shoulder, so slender. <panel: flashback to Mother affectionately ruffling Young Yuki's hair> Narration: When I was a child, she seemed so big <panel: Young yuki clutching to his mother's coat> Narration: When I was a child, that is <panel: blank> Narration: people wouldn't probably end up laughing <panel: Mother smiling, black blocks> (Ina-chan: The kanji in this part was kinda blurred in the scan, the hiragana is completely indistinguishable, so I may have mistranslated this part...) Narration: When she abandoned me, because <something> <same panel: Mother smiling> Narration: Mou, truthfully <panel: another close-up of mother, black block> Narration: All colour was lost completely <panel: Young Yuki crying, covering his face with his hands> Narration: I believed that everything was ending
<panel: Yuki holding his mother's shoulder> Yuki: I'm... I'm... alive <panel: Yuki takes away his hand, and looks more confident as he speaks> Yuki: In this world... I exist. I want to participate. In order to participate, it's for that sake, there is a need to make effort. <panel: blank> Yuki: That effort... I think ... that is, will result <panel: focus on Yuki's serious face> Yuki: with something that you wouldn't gladly approve of, still I wish you'll be proud of. p. 24 <panel: Mother looking at Yuki in shock> Yuki: That why, still, don't decide on your own. My sensei won't decide for me in the end either. <panel: Mother's profile> Yuki: I'll go to University, but which one I'll go to, will be on my own consideration. <panel: Mother turns her back from Yuki abruptly> Yuki:......
<panel: Yuki sighs> p. 26 <panel: <Something... gomen, can't read his family name properly in the scan from chapter 66> Naohito from the student council looking frantic, Yuki is surprised> Naohito: PRESIDENT!? Yuki: ! <panel: Blank> Naohito: There you are... we need you. Please, come!! <panel: Yuki spins around as Naohito grabs him by the hand> Yuki: Wh-hat... now? EH? Naohito: Yes, hurry!! <panel: Yuki looks back at Tooru> Naohito: <Says something Ina-chan can't read> <panel: Yuki smiles at her before turning back> Yuki:...I'm going (Ittekimasu) <panel: Tooru blushes slightly as she smiles, watching him walk away> Tooru: Come back safely... (Itterasshai...) Narration: The rain has stopped <panel: Tooru takes off the ribbon that Yuki gave her for White Day> Narration: The wind is a little chilly <panel: View of the sky from the window> Narration: Winter is coming soon <panel: Tooru strokes the ribbon in her hands tenderly> Narration: But
