/Whether I break your arm.../

A flash of pain so hideously unbearable, because he is the one inflicting it

/Or whether I break a glass cup/

Pieces of my heart falling to the ground, my soul lost in the wreckage

/to me, it's the same./

Looking at nothing, seeing nothing beyond the blossoms blocking my vision

/Both corpses.../

Darkness, as the cherry blossoms steal away all light

/And broken shards of things.../

Gone, nothing left

/I win this bet... I'll kill you./

Death, welcome me.

/not that I hate you. Of course, I don't love you either/

I loved you

"Broken shards... they don't make much difference to anyone."

Another cigarette tossed to the wind

"I'm littering now, too..."

I saw him today

"He stayed the same... I'm the only one who's changed."

Would you be sad

"Hokuto-chan."

if you could see me like this

"Forgive me, Hokuto-chan. But I always did forget to eat."

sitting by the window

"Would you like it if I joined you?"

resisting the urge to fly

"No, I don't think you would."

staying still and watching the cigarette descend

"I'll join you after he's paid for what he did."

Would you be sad to see me so obsessed

"I'll show him how special I am."

so very different from the younger-me

"Make sure that Cherry Tree never takes another victim."

or would you want to be avenged

"Why don't you ever come and see me, Neesan?"

Am I the one not seeing you

"Why doesn't anyone ever see you?"

trying not to see a revenge-stricken spirit urging me

"Am I not worthy of your attention?"

destroy kill finish it so you can go on

"It doesn't matter. Nothing matters."

Cool night wind blows through the room

"One way or another, I will win."

touching nothing but bare floor, empty walls

"Even though I love him."

Walking over broken shards of my heart

"I will kill him."

he smiled at me as he destroyed my life

"He truly hasn't changed at all."

I will make those feet bare

"He still looked at me with that bright expression."

bare as these walls

"Expressing concern at my health, he grabbed my hand."

My shards of glass will cut through

"He held this hand that still bears his hunting-mark."

make him bleed and feel

"For a moment, I didn't want him to let go."

I will show him how much pain

"But I pulled away and showed him my power."1

useless broken bits can do

"His eyes laughed at me as he resisted all my spells."

Do you want vengeance

"He cast a spell that slashed me, without any remorse at all."

like that child ended before her time

"Holding my hand again, he marked me with his blood."

like all those other spirits who call out for satisfaction

"He disappeared into illusion, knowing I would free him from the kekkai."

He's still better

"Knowing I wanted him to stay."

stronger faster than me

"Knowing I hadn't really changed at all."

Killer

"Except he doesn't see that I have."

Murderer

"In my heart, I want him dead."

Love

"So that I can let go."

Other half

"The only way I can really win is by death."

You won the bet

"His, mine, or both."

Your way is winning

"I've become more like him than he knows."

Neesan where are you

"With the fate of the Earth, our small quarrel will be decided."

Are you happy to see me like this

"Damn. I've run out of cigarettes."

Happy Death Day Hokuto-chan

"I love you."

A spirit watches the wheels of fate turn inexorably

"I love you too, Subaru."

unable to interfere

"I wish you could be happy."

Chained by the blood-soaked bonds of the Cherry Tree

"I should have been stronger."

Trapped

"I wish..."

she observes

"I wish that you could be loved."

Weeping
