01x23 - Choice

[bunniefuu]

Did lips, painted with poison,
just come to my room?

It seems as if my mind and body
are melting with your kiss.

Hateful self, 19 years old
Hateful self, 19 years old

Your heart is so beautiful
it's almost nauseating.

Why would you kiss someone like me,
who can't do a thing?

Hmm?

Hateful days, 19 years old
Hateful face, 19 years old

L-L-L-Like a black swallowtail butterfly,

I want to fly on magnificent wings!

P-P-P-Please don't say it's ridiculous!

That kind of life is good...

It's good!
[L-L-L-Like a black
swallowtail butterfly...]

Invitation. Smile. Promise.

They can tie you to a certain place,
a certain time and a certain person.

Would you mind coming with me for a bit?

What?

Secret. Memory. Confession.

They can tie you to it
even closer and gently.

So my dream came true. Thank you.

You should've stayed home and rested.

I'm the one, who wants to come-

So nice... You're such a nice person...

Bond. Communion. Sympathy.

They tie you down,
bond you and invite you.

Watanuki...

Watanuki.

Watanuki!

Maru and Moro can't go outside.

So we can't carry you any further.

Sorry.

Now...

That person will...

Take you.

"That person?"

Dou... meki?

Where am I?

My house.

Why?

I received a call from Yuko-san.
She told me to go there.

Why?

She wanted me to pick you up, I guess.

Like I said, why?

Yuko-san told me that at this rate
you're going to disappear and be gone.

Disa-

It means you're going to die, I suppose.

Why...

Because you've been seeing the woman.

But she's never done anything to me.
I've never felt sick either...

Then do you have anything
else you can think of?

You said you haven't seen
spirits lately, right?

What else could it be?

But she's not a bad person.

There's no telling if she's
a human or not.

Even if she's not, I promised her
that I'll see her at the park...

Mokona, why don't we make a bet?

Hmm?

On whether Watanuki will go or not.

Hmm, but that's really not a bet.

I guess you're right.
It's Watanuki we're talking about.

All there is in this world
is only the inevitable.

Watanuki-kun, it's open over here!

Himawari-chan.

It's unusual to see you not
eating your homemade lunch.

I don't know why,
but I didn't feel like making it.

But you look a little better now.
You looked awful when you collapsed.

Y-You think so?

Oh, yeah, Himawari-chan!

This is my White Day gift for you.
Sorry, I got it from a store.

I know this store! It's the one
by the western park, right?

I wanted to make something
for you myself, but...

That's okay!

Thank you!

Hey, that's Doumeki-kun.

The competition is right around
the corner. He must be busy.

Right.

Are you going, Watanuki-kun?

Huh?

To support Doumeki-kun!

Probably I won't be able to.

Don't strain yourself too much, okay?

Yeah.

I'm glad.

I thought I wouldn't be able
to see you today, but-

I'm... okay.

Let's not...

...see each other again.

We are better off not seeing each other.

Why not? Did I say
something to offend you?

If it's me that you're worried about,
please don't! I do this because I want-

No.

Thank you.

I had so much fun. It's okay now.

But you said you would always feel lonely.

Remember you told me that? I-

I'm gonna go now.

No, wait-

She was crying.

I can't do this!

I can't make her sad!

I have to go.

I have to go.

If I don't, she will be...

You...

Sorry, I'm late.

Were you cold?

I knew it would turn out this way, but...

I knew that the more I saw you,
the more it would make you suffer...

It's my fault.

I was told that.

Then why?

Because when you're lonely,
I'm lonely, too.

Don't touch him.

Dou... meki...

I figured you would go see
her no matter what I told you.

So she wasn't a human after all.

Don't do it.

Move.

Stop!

Stop it!

Why?

I'm not lonely anymore.

I'm not lonely anymore because
I was able to be with you.

So you will, too...

Because there are people who need you.

There are people who wouldn't
want to lose you.

Why did you sh**t her?

Is it because she's not a human?

No.

I chose to do so, that's all.

Now you're awake.

Yuko-san. What happened to your work?

It's done.

Without incident.

I see.

On the other hand, it sounds like it
didn't end without incident with you.

You know, I've been dealing with
stuff like this a lot lately.

You're right.

Did Doumeki carry me here?

Yeah.

I'm so pathetic.

Indeed.

That's mean.

I'm sorry for ignoring your warning.

That's okay, because it was your choice.

You still wanted to see
her although you knew

it would put yourself
in danger, didn't you?

Just like I told you before,
people can wish for anything.

Happiness or unhappiness.

I, uh...

No matter what kind of choice made,
if it was the result you chose...

As long as you're not regretting
the result, it is all right.

Doumeki-kun made a choice, too.

By sh**ting her... Even if it hurt you...
Even if you hold a grudge against him...

So that he could stop
you from disappearing...

So you should make your
own choice, too, Watanuki.

As to how you're going to deal
with Doumeki-kun from now on.

Do you want to know what she was?

No.

Even if she wasn't a human,
she was still loving and nice to me.

Then I tell you only this.

What she told you before
she disappeared is true.

So now you're gonna make me pay
for that by working for you?

Of course.

Is Watanuki okay?

Okay?

He's okay, right?

Well, he will be all right by tomorrow.

That's great! That's great!
That's great! That's great!

Why don't we take it easy today, too?

I'm pretty tired from the long business trip,
which I hadn't had in a while.

Yeah.

We need to burn some incense
in the Mistress's bedroom!

We need to prepare a nightcap, too!

Huh? Shhh!

Try not to wake Watanuki up...

Tiptoe... Tiptoe...

Tiptoe... Tiptoe... Tiptoe...

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

"Private Cross Academy"

"Private Cross Academy"
Himawari-chan!

Himawari-chan!

Watanuki-kun!

How are you feeling?

I am perfectly fine!

I made lunch for you!
Let's eat lunch together, okay?

Its theme is "spring"!
The menu is going to be a surprise!

How lovely!

You're the lovely one, Himawari-chan!

I can't wait for lunchtime now!

Oh!

Wait.

You can come, too. To have lunch.

Since I've already invited
Himawari-chan and all!

You'd better have some
inari-zushi for me.

Hell no! First of all why do
you always want inari-zushi?

Today I made tri-color onigiri!
[rice ball wrapped in seaweed]

Oh well...

--You son of a...
--I guess I'll hang out.

Why do you have to say it like that?

You two really do get along so well,
don't you, Watanuki-kun and Doumeki-kun?

You got it all wrong, Himawari-chan!

You said "tri-color."
I'd better see some salmon in it.

Stop with that bossy attitude!

How about sour plum?

No! But they're good!

Are you here to see Yuko-san?

Please, this way.

Welcome!

--A customer for Mistress!
--A customer for Mistress!

Yes, it's a shop, sort of.

Your wish will be granted!

As long as it's something
Mistress can handle!

Anything will come true!

Sound a little suspicious?
Well, I'm sure it does.

But it's true.

Because...

There is no such thing as
coincidence in this world.

What does exist is only the inevitable.

There's a meaning to
the fact you and I met.

Shall I grant your wish?

Light pink corrupted
midsummer's eve dreams

Yearning for the mayfly
that flies away

The dream bonfire burns out

The vestiges of life,
glistening in the waves

The face of someone
you're crazy about is swaying

As though walking on air,
as though in a blur,

dancing with you in a dream

Light pink corrupted
midsummer's eve dreams

Yearning for the mayfly
that flies away

Thinking of you, dreaming a dream,
in a dream, in a dream

Overflowing delight,
everlastingly, everlastingly

Light pink corrupted...

Revealing the memories
graven in the heart.

Beyond the story
that continues in eternity.

Believing to see each other again.

That's right. One day,
again, for certain...

"Happy Birthday"
Next time, Holic, "Reminiscences"

"Happy Birthday"
Shall I grant your wish?
