Nana started to wear her engagement ring on her right hand some time after Ren was gone. She couldn’t continue to wear it on her left hand, but she couldn’t take it off completely either. There’s no future that I want for myself if it means I have to abandon Nana who is completely lost.

P3
We held each other, holding back our sobs, until the trembling stopped // When I slowly let go // Nobu was still crying // And so, I started to cry once more
P4
All the things about Ren and about Nana and the regrets that I had // all came pouring out and I couldn’t stop it // But there was no way we could kiss // so we continued to hold each other instead
P5
The background music changed to my most favorite song in the world
Shin: It’s bothering me // I heard voices and movement before // but now I wonder what they’re doing in silence
P6
Shin: You should ask Ren later
P7
This isn’t what Ren would have wanted
I want to be by Nana’s side forever // And Nobu can do what he wants to with me // Takumi doesn’t need me // I’m not the one he feels he has to come home to
