When Fujiwara Ao saw Kusakabe Leo on the first day of the year,
he was reading Ame's book in his apartment.

It was the same one from years ago.

The same one from when she was still alive.

Ao always had it with him.

After all, it was Ame's final gift.

When Ao saw him, he remembered about the words that Leo had told him before.


'What an ironic story, don't you think?'


Ao understood what he meant.




  ・・・ x ・・・




In the book, The Shepherd Boy was fated to die.

Even though he didn't want to,

in the end,

he had chosen death instead of attaining a pointless happiness in his false world.




In the real world,

Ame was supposed to live.



Even though it shouldn't have happened,

in the end,

she had decided to erase herself in order to make another person happy.







"—But she failed."




—She failed.


In the end,

her story had been a tragedy.





"And it was all our fault."





  ・・・ xi・・・




Leo was right.


















It really was ironic.
