After school. Tsugumi took Uemai and the constitutional successor to the semi-destructed library room to talk to Shadow. It's where Shadow designated it, but it's also unlikely someone will come in here.

Eventually the shadow that appeared was strangely refreshing, without a distorted grin, as usual, or distorted by anger.

"Oh, no, I was with Animus today."

"I'm not a problem, either, because I'm a bum."

"Still, I'd have preferred a girl's tugmire in the mood. Oh, good."

A small, sighing shadow.

"I want to apologize first"

Tsugumi cuts it out with a smug look.

"No, don't apologize. Enough. You're me, too, and I feel bad about being apologized to by myself. And the act of apologizing is for your own good? You want to apologize because you want to convince yourself, you want to sort out your feelings, you want to make it easier?

A shadow with a tight mouth, but its face remains a refreshing look, even smiling.

"Twisted. You're thinking. That's not the only reason people apologize."

Upper Mi points it out in a tight tone. Uemami dared to think that this was better said from a different standpoint than what Tsugumi would say.

"Uenohara is right. I apologize because I think I've done something wrong and I want to tell you that. Sorry. Pushing everything bad on you."

The shadow takes a deep sigh when he sees a gummy dripping head deep.

"Because you think it's bad, you came to talk to me with sympathy?

"It's not sympathy. I'm going to take all your responsibility."

To the shadow I said with disgust intent, Tsugumi said with a true face.

"Serious kid like that. Good boy. I hate the language. You know that and you want to do it deliberately and piss me off?

Shadow's expression gradually becomes annoying.

"It's not. I'm being honest."

"Even worse."

To the denying tsugmi, Shadow raved his voice.

"So, what did you want to talk about the most?"

Uemami urges, fearing the possibility of ending in a quarrel without talking.

"I wanted to hear how Tugumi recognized me. But well... did you just hear that? I didn't think you'd suddenly apologize. No... well, let's be honest. I was wondering if you thought it was garbage or something about me, and I was still worried that you still hated my hair. 'Cause I'm the one pushed round the nasty part of the tugmire, and I've always been sad about that."

"I..."

Shadow continues the conversation with his hand controlling the swordfish he was about to pinch his mouth on the way.

"But, you know, I'm thinking this now, too. Poor kid like me was born because of Tugumi's such terrible selfishness. This is how you see me now, Tsugumi, Uenohara and Yoshioka. My voice is reaching. I can feel me, too."

(Kind of like dying soon...)

I think the constitutional succession. He said it sounded like such a mouthful, like Shadow flagging his own death.

"Tsugumi seems to crave a kind world, but a kind world that plays and makes things out of the way. Then you can't really say that's sweet. Such a selfish sacrifice, poor thing, make me the first and last."

"I get it. I'm so sorry."

Tugumi, who receives Shadow's words and apologizes again.

"I'm sorry too. I may have misunderstood you."

Uemami also apologizes in the light.

I don't want you to apologize.

Shadow looks at Upper Mi, grinning slightly, making a mean voice

"Mm-hmm. I've just shown my understanding of you."

Upper beauty pointing lips.

"Huh? Do you know how pathetic I feel about the guy who says the back number and he's been teasing me from all over school?

"You're not stupid! That's not what they call being treated like, they're treating you like a rare beast!

Even more teasing to the shadow, Uemai yelled angrily.

"From what I can tell, Mr. Cliff Room is more discredited and duly appreciated. I assumed responsibility for illustration in the press department and was told I was a painter. In exchange, I'm in charge of violence! If I did a bad job on campus, the bad would cause problems outside, and if I was in trouble, I would rely on this one to fight instead, and if I repeated that, I would treat it completely backwards, and students in school would rely on backwards as soon as something happened. Female gorilla So, white bear killer, I've been making reverse har and pregnant since I was in elementary school, but the only child I've ever had is the one who dropped it on the volcano and raised it up, so I envy such a rumored position!?

"Pathetic... Much more pathetic than me than Tugumi..."

Shadow, who had laughed slightly until then, said with a sad look where Ueme had once fallen.

"Huh?"

"The kid who was jealous was actually more pathetic than me. Me and Tugumi, you've been blessed. We - I was happy. I didn't realize that."

……

Upper Mi completely loses her words to the shadow that speaks with a sympathetic eye.

"Well, now that I have no more memories, this is goodbye."

"Goodbye?

Tsugumi learns fear in that dialogue where Shadow stretched and ran his mouth.

"I'm like a grudge spirit. It's a negative crystal of mind, but it'll clear up, which means I'll lose my raison d 'être, too."

Back to the refreshing face earlier, Shadow said like any other HR.

"It's going to be sunny...? Lost?"

"There's nothing left to remember, it's gone."

"No, you can't. Oh no..."

Tsugumi shivers his voice.

"Even if they say no, that's what we are. Even my grandmother will never be born again, will she? I think that one disappeared sooner or later without having to be destroyed. Tugumi reconciled with her mother and lost her raison d 'être. And now I'm the same."

Shadow slowly approached Tsugumi, reaching for that face, which was still about to cry, and touching his cheek.

"Tsugumi, I'll take everything you don't want that you pushed against me. Jung faced the inner shadow and wrote that he needed to admit it, and I'm sure he's in the right shape to overcome it himself, but blah, blah. Come on, you don't have to stick to that."

Reach out the other hand as well and touch the other cheek.

"That's what Tsugumi had the ability to do, until I used it, and Tsugumi just needs to stay innocent and just look at the beautiful stuff. Even if that's a distortion as a person, only the tsugumi will be treated as special, that's fine. I'll do my part and disappear hoping your life will be happy."

"Shadow..."

I wanted to say something, and I opened my mouth to say something, Tugumi, but the words don't come out well.

"But... again, don't make beings like me anymore"

Shortly after Shadow told him with a raunchy grin, tears overflowed from Tugumi's eyes and wet Shadow's fingertips.

"A sad thing to say. The devil's uncle said so. He said I was just a program. Including thoughts, just reactions. You look like you have a heart, actually you don't. There is no soul. So there's nothing to be sad about..."

That's all I'm saying, the shadow's body thins rapidly. The feeling of the hands touching the cheeks of the twigs also disappears.

Staring at where the shadow had completely disappeared, Tsugumi wept.

"It's a lie... That's absolutely... a lie. If you don't have a heart, you won't hurt me, and you won't bump my pity. You never get angry or laugh like that..."

Tugumi speaks to the void while conscious that it is absolutely audible to the shadow. On the back of such a tsugumi, Uemami and the Constitutional Succession were turning their gaze at each other.
