Hello, my name is Tohru Honda, I haven't always lived in a tent. Up until last May I lived with my mom, it was just the two of us. But then the accident...

I know. Just like there are kind places - I know. I know I haven't made it out of this yet. It's not over. It will come back again and again. The crushing injustice will keep harassing me.

I’m grateful to have someone who worries about me and supports me. That’s why, even if I am weak, I want to be someone who doesn’t wallow in their weakness. There were times when I wondered how many people would notice if I disappeared in a crowded place like this. But now, I’m a little different.

Why did it have to turn out this way?! I thought that coming here would make Kisa HAPPY... That's why. But then I go and make her cry. I'm so stupid. I really AM losing points.

You just like screwing with me. You just... You have no goddamn idea! You had a mom and dad! Everyone needed you and told you what a great person you were! You just jump over people who're trying harder than you ever did... You couldn't possibly understand how someone like me feels! Little "prince charming" without a care in the world. You've never had to feel what it's like to get nothing... To wish like an idiot, for something you can't have!

Tohru Honda: It must've been very painful, Akito...being told the day you were born, you were going die. It must've been so painful. Akito Sohma: What was!? What would you know about it!?! Tohru Honda: You're right. I can't even imagine how awful it would be to know something like that, or how terrifying. Shigure and Yuki and Kyo I'm sure they feel the same way, and Hatori too. And when you pass away, we'll be sad. We'll be very sad to lose you. And so... Akito Sohma: Heh. Who's going to be sad? Everyone is able to live thanks to me. They all hope I will be gone quickly. I was born in order to die. That's how it was decided. Tohru Honda: But why? Who decided it had to be like that? Akito, right now you're alive aren't you? Akito Sohma: Alive!? You call this being alive, do you?! It's been decided! It's been decided, and they never even asked me!

Tohru Honda: Let’s go home. Please! We have to go home right now! If we don’t, I have a feeling Kyo won’t come back to that house ever again. Kyo Sohma: Just go away! Tohru Honda: No! Kyo Sohma: Don’t you get it?! Tohru Honda: No, I dont. I’m scared. Even though I know that’s your voice, it doesn’t sound like you. You’re in a form I’ve never seen you before and it scares me. But scared or not, I want to understand. If you need to talk, I’ll listen. If you need to be selfish, I’ll let you. I want to help you the way you’ve helped me…If you’re feeling hurt or scared or weak, I want you to tell me so I can face it with you. Because I want to keep living together. I want to eat with you, study with you, worry with you. All of those things… PLEASE… I just want to stay with you, Kyo!

So please, just...cry with me. If there's nothing to be done, at least cry with me for now. Cry like your entire body is screaming. Cry like you're damning everything. Something's been lost, and now we're living life with no guarantees. There's just one fragment of hope, born from the fear of living in this world once again. So I want you...to at least cry. Cry with me. Cry like the first day you were born into this world.

So please, just…cry with me. If there’s nothing to be done, at least cry with me for now. Cry like your entire body is screaming.

I can't explain it to anyone... But on the other side of that door... I'm afraid that she's starting to fall apart. If that happens... No one can bring her back. I just hope that she can find the right person for her. Like Haru is there for me. Someone who will gently open that door. People can't help but be drawn... To someone like her. People who know... How scary it is to be alone... Can't help loving others.

But, isn’t it a blessing to have someone care about you? Someone who worries about your happiness and wants to always be by your side? Ya know, I’d like to think someone cares for me that way, even if that person and I are separated by a huge distance. I find it very reassuring. And it’s amazing to me the way that someone can love another person with their entire heart. ‘Cause after all, doesn’t everybody dream there’s someone destined to be with them?

But now that I have you here, Yuki, there is something I've been dying to ask you: Why did you skip the New Year's Banquet? Why did you think to do such a thing? I've been quite tolerant lately, have I not? And the fact that you would do something like that, you should know it hurts me deeply. Perhaps I need to take some time to re-educate you, in that little room, the one I keep especially for you.

Kazuma Sohma: Tonight. I plan to do it tonight. And whatever happens, I thought I should warn you in advance. Shigure Sohma: I see. So what led you to this decision all of a sudden? Kazuma Sohma: Today, looking at his face, I saw something there I didn't expect to see. I think this girl could open his heart and accept him. The time to act is now, while the opportunity exists, or so I have determined.

Ayame Sohma: I'm sorry, but I had no other choice. Yuki locked the door to his bedroom, so I couldn't sleep in there. Kyo Sohma: Why the Hell didn't you go to Shigure's room like yesterday? Ayame Sohma: Because, if I had, Shigure would have kept me up all night. Shigure Sohma: Hey, uh, not in front of the children, please. Kyo Sohma: Oh, cut it out! Yuki Sohma: Just ignore them.

Arisa Uotani: You DO know, it's bound to happen one day, one of 'em's gonna tell her he likes her. Saki Hanajima: Oh, no, no. I'm afraid I simply could NOT allow my Tohru to take either one of those boys. Arisa Uotani: So, what, are you her mother now? Saki Hanajima: I really meant that half joking. Arisa Uotani: So you were half serious. Saki Hanajima: It's their signals. I can still sense something that troubles me. There are many conflicting emotions hanging like dark clouds around their hearts. I suppose that's true of every person to some extent, but with those two it seems to be rather extreme, and as long as those dark clouds remain I'm not sure they can ever truly share their hearts with another.

If you think of someone’s good qualities as the umeboshi in an onigiri, it’s as if their qualities are stuck to their back! People around the world are like onigiri. Everyone has an umeboshi with a different shape and color and flavor. But because it’s stuck on their back, they might not be able to see their umeboshi. “There’s nothing special about me. I’m just white rice.” [in her head] That’s not true. There is an umeboshi — on your back. [aloud] Maybe the reason people get jealous of each other, is because they can see so clearly the umeboshi on other people’s backs. I can see them, too. I can see them perfectly. There’s an amazing umeboshi on your back, Kyo-kun.

Hatori Sohma: Any idea where Akito and Kureno are off to? Shigure Sohma: Taking a little walk. Hatori Sohma: To see Honda you think? Shigure Sohma: I suppose that is a possibility. When it comes to Tohru, Akito has clearly got a superiority complex. The girl is a threat – why else keep us locked away, stuck in one-on-one meetings?

All these years and that vow is still right here [gestures to his heart]. If I have to lie or manipulate a few people along the way, then so be it. It’s a small price to pay, even if someone gets hurt… I do feel bad about it sometimes though. Mostly, it’s when I’m looking at Tohru. She’s just good, through and through. She helps for those two, but her innocence may be a bit much for me. Sometimes she forces me to realize that mine might be the filthiest soul of all. Granted, I am as dirty as they come. It’s funny but, sometimes, I find myself feeling jealous of you. And I wonder if maybe I’m the one most cursed of us.

I can't stand any other girl getting close to him, whether it's Tohru Honda or the girl who MIGHT join student council or the new fan club president. How can I choose another girl to take my place? I hate them all. All of them. They're enemies, every single one. But, really, the one I hate the most - is myself.

Motoko Minagawa: We - the four of us - we really like Yuki. We love him. Can't you understand how much it hurts us when we see Tohru with him all the time? It's like... it's like she thinks she can have him all to herself - but she can't. Prince Yuki belongs to all of us. Megumi Hanajima: You say that, but if he truly belonged to you, would you be here fighting to hold onto him? You say that you love him, but if you did would you really want to take his friends from him? Would you try to force your will upon him to make yourselves happy without any regard for HIS feelings?

Motoko Minagawa: We – the four of us – we really like Yuki. We love him. Can’t you understand how much it hurts us when

Wadda they need me for? They've got Yuki, don't they? I doubt anyone's gonna miss ME. They're all too busy looking to HIM. That's the way it always is, ever since we were kids. He's always been the smart one, and he knows how to get stuff done, and he's good with people, all that. And everybody around him's always telling him how talented he is and stuff. He doesn't even have to try and they all look up to him. Anyway, it's just like with martial arts. I've been training WAY longer than he has, but he's still better than me.

Kyo Sohma: Of course, I'll beat YOU, too! Yuki Sohma: Don't you ever get tired of saying that? Kyo Sohma: Beating you is my vocation! It's my goal in life! Yuki Sohma: It's so unfair that I keep having to take abuse just because you can't meet your goals. Kyo Sohma: THAT CONDESCENDING ATTITUDE OF YOURS REALLY PISSES ME OFF! Yuki Sohma: And that revolting thought process of yours pisses me off.

Kyo Sohma: Of course, I’ll beat YOU, too!
Yuki Sohma: Don’t you ever get tired of saying that?

Ayame Sohma: Change is inedible. Hatori Sohma: Don't you mean inevitable? Ayame, spitting out a concerning amount of coins: no.

Ayame Sohma: Change is inedible.
Hatori Sohma: Don’t you mean inevitable?
Ayame, spitting out a concerning amount of coins: no.

No. That’s not what I wanted you to say. That’s not it at all. What am I supposed to do when you say something like that to me? What am I, a “mistake”, supposed to do? Where should I go?

No. That’s not what I wanted you to say. That’s not it at all. What am I supposed to do when you say something like that to me? What am I, a “mistake”, supposed to do? Where should I go?

Head Chef: Noooooo! This is inexcusable! I thought I'd seen to it that the young master's cuisine would be served with the hot foods hot and the cold foods cold. Only my complete lack of confidence as a chef could allow such a lukewarm dish to be served to you. I beg your forgivene-e-e-e-e-ess! May I be cut into a thousand pieces for this egregious act! Hostess: No, it's MY fault. I've clearly waited too long to serve your meal. Head Chef: No, it was MY fault! Hostess: It was MY fault! Head Chef: No, it was MINE! Tohru Honda: By any chance are those two... Yuki Sohma: Related? Yes, they're cousins. It's amazing the family resemblance.

Kyo Sohma: Are you kidding me? How’d this even happen? You really suck at cooking, Master! Kazuma Sohma: Yes, I suppose I’ll need more training if I want to make something edible.

Saying 'goodbye' can be a very lonely thing. It's lonely to say goodbye. Very lonely. Partings are the beginnings of new meetings. Beginnings happen because there are endings…Meetings. Beginnings. It's not too late…to believe in them after the fact.

Why did I turn out like this? I want to know why the most. Why…? Why…am I so…? I’m miserable…and so lonely…

However, I can't be happy. I feel I can't have that experience, I can't assume I will have that experience. I'm free, but feeling lonely and disheartened. I hope there's happiness out there. Besides, the future is approaching and waiting for me. In the future, I will be a part of the world. I will finally live my life.

Well, I had a chip on my shoulder back then. I was like a lion that hadn’t been fed. A problem child that was too much for my teachers and parents to handle. I wonder why it’s so easy to “go bad”? Before I knew it, I’d joined “the ladies”. […] We beat people up, got beat up, started fires, got chased by the cops…to be honest, if I told you everything we did, it’d make your hair stand on end. The point is, I was an unrepentant moron. But even so, there was one person I idolized. That was Kyoko-san.

Shigure Sohma: So anyway, I was wondering if you could stop by the house and take a look at Tohru's cut. That is if it isn't a problem. Hatori Sohma: No problem. I'll stop by the house this evening. Shigure Sohma: Hmmm... What's this Hatori? I don't think I ever heard you sound so eager to come over! Could it be you have a secret crush on Tohru? I knew it! You naughty, naughty man, you! Hatori Sohma: No, I was simply too amazed by your stupidity to say anything.

Momiji Sohma: Hey. Hey, Tohru! You know about the Zodiac thing, right! Tohru Honda: Uh, yes. Momiji Sohma: Then I can hug you! Kyo Sohma: Hold it, lover-boy. Momiji Sohma: But she won't mind if I transform, right? Kyo Sohma: That's not the problem! Think of where we are! Momiji Sohma: Are you hugging Tohru because she's so cute?! I bet Kyo hugs her every day! Kyo Sohma: You stu--! Who would want to--! Momiji Sohma: My turn!

She doesn't speak. She hasn't said a word since right after she started middle school. Not a word. And from what Hatori says, the problem is all in her mind. He said, for some reason, she's locked away all of her words. After she stopped talking, she stopped going to school. And then today, she ran away from home. That's why I went out looking for her. By the time I found her, she had transformed into a tiger.

You don't know what happened. You couldn't. Because you weren't there to see it. So I don't care what you've heard. Nothing about her is monstrous. Nothing. You... You don't know how scared she was that night. So don't try and tell me she wasn't! Her hands were shaking. Her voice was trembling. Her skin was cold to the touch, and her face pale with fear. Even so, she stood her ground and refused to run away from me! That's right! She was terrified, but she didn't run. She stayed! She held onto me the whole time! She must have known that if she let go... I would never return. If I slipped through her hands, I'd be gone. And no one would be able to bring me back. She didn't erase all my pain or offer to solve all of my problems. She didn't fix everything that was broken. But that's not what I needed anyway. Not really. What mattered most was that... she stayed.

You say you "won't do it again." Talking like that... Doesn't it drive you into a corner even more? Saying you "won't do it anymore"... Doesn't solve the problem. Both parties have to understand... WHY you do it.

You really mean [that you deserve to be punished]. Is that all people will ever be to you? A way to punish yourself for thoughts that you had as a child? Is this how you’re going to live your entire life?… Alright, then I’m going to pray for you. You’re lonely and whatever may have happened, you shouldn’t have to live like that forever. This world is full of people, and I know that somewhere in it, there is someone who will see you for who you truly are. They’ll see it and they’ll cherish you for it. So please, whoever you are, wherever you are, come to her. If you’re in a country far away, get on a plane. Come to Saki as fast as you can because she deserves to meet you. Please….. I’ll pray for you…there is someone who will see you for who you truly are. They’ll see it and they’ll cherish you for it. I’ll pray… So please… Don’t give up yet…

Yuki Sohma: Yes, but whenever the other kids tried to pick on you, you would go black and chase them around the schoolyard. Hatsuharu Sohma: It's better than Kyo. He would actually beat them half to death.

Yuki Sohma: Yes, but whenever the other kids tried to pick on you, you would go black and chase them around the schoolyard.

Yuki Sohma: "Watch where you step." Oh, that's very good advice coming from the one who tripped FIRST, moron. Kyo Sohma: Hey! Like you're one to talk! We wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't gotten in my way! The only reason I transformed is 'cause I tripped over YOUR clumsy ass! Yuki Sohma: "Clumsy?" YOU'RE the one who trained all that time in the mountains and you can't even walk down a path. Kyo Sohma: I can too! I survived out here for four months. You wouldn't last two days! You're on my turf now so shut up and pay attention. Ya might learn something!

Yuki Sohma: “Watch where you step.” Oh, that’s very good advice coming from the one who tripped FIRST, moron.

Momiji Sohma: Are you sure? Shigure said it hurt really bad. Hatori Sohma: Yes, well, I did that on purpose. Shigure Sohma: Oh, Ha'ri, you're killing me! Why would you be so cruel? Hatori Sohma: It seemed to be the only way to shut you up at the time.

Momiji Sohma: Are you sure? Shigure said it hurt really bad.
Hatori Sohma: Yes, well, I did that on purpose.
Shigure Sohma: Oh, Ha’ri, you’re killing me!

Shigure Sohma: Tohru's very cute in a sweet sort of way. Hatori Sohma: For some reason when you say that it reeks of something illegal.

Shigure Sohma: Tohru’s very cute in a sweet sort of way.
Hatori Sohma: For some reason when you say that it reeks of something illegal.

Hatsuharu Sohma: If I hadn't had tripped you, you wouldn't have stopped now would you. By the way what I just did was very dangerous. And if it had been anyone but Kyo they probably would have been hurt pretty badly, so don't try it at home. Kyo Sohma: Don't try it here and who are you even talking to?

Hatsuharu Sohma: If I hadn’t had tripped you, you wouldn’t have stopped now would you. By the way what I just did was very dangerous.

Shigure Sohma: Lemme guess; you lost your temper and yelled at her again, right? You know, you shouldn't do that if you're just going to regret it. Not too bright, now is it? Kyo Sohma: Save your breath. I'm just not meant to get along with other people. Period. End of story. Shigure Sohma: Oh, sure. Some people just aren't, but you're not one of them. You lack experience, that's all.

Shigure Sohma: Lemme guess; you lost your temper and yelled at her again, right? You know, you shouldn’t do that if you’re just going to

Kazuma Sohma: It seems things have gone well in my absence. I must admit I was worried, but he surprised me - the expression I saw on his face today. Akito Sohma: Tell me, I've been wondering, don't you think it's time, time we revealed that freak cat's true form? Kazuma Sohma: Yes. I agree. It may be at that. Akito Sohma: I wonder what she'll do when she sees it. I can just imagine the look on her face. She won't be able to stand it. She'll probably never be able to set foot in that place again, and when that happens Yuki will be very sad, won't he? Poor thing.

Kazuma Sohma: It seems things have gone well in my absence. I must admit I was worried, but he surprised me – the expression I

Oh, don't let what Kyo said bother you. You see, he THINKS he's being manly but, really, he doesn't have a clue what true manliness is. A real man would've eaten the chocolates without all this fuss. To refuse a gift, to trample on another person's heart like that, it falls short of being a human being, let alone a man.

Oh, don’t let what Kyo said bother you. You see, he THINKS he’s being manly but, really, he doesn’t have a clue what true manliness

Yuki Sohma: Oh it says not to hold it in your hands or point it at people or buildings. Kyo Sohma: HE'S POINTING IT AT ME!! Hatsuharu Sohma: It's all right. I'm sure you can dodge it, Kyo. I believe in you. Kyo Sohma: DON'T BELIEVE IN ME. Hatsuharu Sohma: Just think of it as a dodge ball with rockets.

Yuki Sohma: Oh it says not to hold it in your hands or point it at people or buildings.

Tohru Honda: So those are for Shigure? Ritsu Sohma: Uh-huh. He asked me to pick them up. He said he just couldn't write without fresh jelly buns. Tohru Honda: Yeah. That sounds like something he'd say. Ritsu and Tohru (in unison): Uh...

Tohru Honda: So those are for Shigure?
Ritsu Sohma: Uh-huh. He asked me to pick them up. He said he just couldn’t write without fresh jelly

I don't believe it. W-why would Akito be here at school? Oh, I never thought I'd have to meet him by myself like this! But I'm surprised; h-he looks so young, and he's handsome, too, almost as handsome as Yuki. Still, this is the same person who hurt Hatori's eye.

I don’t believe it. W-why would Akito be here at school? Oh, I never thought I’d have to meet him by myself like this! But

Tohru Honda: Excuse me. Are you... Akito? Akito Sohma: Yes, I am... Miss Tohru Honda. Tohru Honda: Uh, pleased to meet you. Akito Sohma: You're very polite. I'm glad. You seem to be a good person. And not only that, you're extremely cute. Tohru Honda: Oh no, not really! Akito Sohma: So, you're modest, too. I mean it. You really are cute. I'm sorry I didn't say hello when I saw you at the main house. I tend to be rather shy around strangers. I hope you're not angry. Tohru Honda: Oh no! Not at all! Akito Sohma: Well, that's good. I should introduce myself properly. I'm Akito, head of the Sohma family. I'm pleased to meet you. Tohru Honda: No, no! The pleasure's all mine, really! Akito Sohma: I do hope you and I can be friends from now on... just as you are with Yuki and Kyo.

Tohru Honda: Excuse me. Are you… Akito?
Akito Sohma: Yes, I am… Miss Tohru Honda.
Tohru Honda: Uh, pleased to meet you.

Kyo Sohma: NOW YOU STAY HERE AND SIT STILL! Momiji Sohma: Waahh! Somebody, Kyo hit me! Tohru Honda: Is everything okay? Momiji Sohma: You're Tohru! Right? Tohru Honda? Did I get it right? Tohru Honda: Uh-huh; that's me. Momiji Sohma: Now me! Guess who I am! Tohru Honda: You're Momiji. Momiji Sohma: Ah! You remembered my name! I'm so happy! Tohru, let's be friends, okay? Tohru Honda: Sure.

Kyo Sohma: NOW YOU STAY HERE AND SIT STILL!
Momiji Sohma: Waahh! Somebody, Kyo hit me!
Tohru Honda: Is everything okay?
Momiji Sohma: You’re Tohru! Right? Tohru Honda?

Shigure Sohma: By the way, this is the one and only Tohru Honda. You came to see her today, right? Ayame Sohma: Hmm? ...Oh, yes, that's right! I'm sorry about earlier. I am Yuki's older brother, Ayame. Tohru Honda: Oh, right! Pleased to meet you!

Shigure Sohma: By the way, this is the one and only Tohru Honda. You came to see her today, right?
Ayame Sohma: Hmm? …Oh, yes, that’s

Kakeru Manabe: Why do we have to go around introducing ourselves to all the clubs? It's not like we're idols that have just started out. They know who we are. Yuki Sohma: We have to show how we're here to help them. Kakeru Manabe: We DO help them. We're the School Defence Force that fights against EVIL, you know. Yuki Sohma: Can you stop saying that with a straight face? It makes me nervous.

Kakeru Manabe: Why do we have to go around introducing ourselves to all the clubs? It’s not like we’re idols that have just started out.

Akito Sohma: ...This is ridiculous. Where did you get an idea like that? Hatsuharu Sohma: You were always cold to Rin. If I was always kind to her...then you...were always cold. To Rin. To women. I know how much you hate them! Twice as much as anyone else! You have no problem saying cruel things. You do cruel things. If you're supposed to be our Master...you have to be more-- Akito Sohma: So you realize all that, do you? Interesting. And yet, you tell me things like "I love Rin", right? Even though you knew that I hate Isuzu? You told Isuzu that you love her, didn't you? Even though you knew? Hatsuharu Sohma: ...Where is she? Where? Where is Rin right now? Akito Sohma: You're so obstinate. Look I don't know-- Hatsuharu Sohma: Where is she?! Where did you put her?! Get her out! Akito Sohma: I just told you! - I don't know! You always make everything my fault!

Akito Sohma: …This is ridiculous. Where did you get an idea like that?
Hatsuharu Sohma: You were always cold to Rin. If I was always kind

Akito Sohma: All right. What is it? Hatsuharu Sohma: Why'd you push Rin out a window? Why would you do something like that? Akito Sohma: What? I did...what? I pushed Isuzu? That's news to me. Who told you that? Hatsuharu Sohma: The heavens revealed it. Akito Sohma: Huh? You never change do you? You're as dumb as ever. Hatsuharu Sohma: Don't laugh!! Why would you do that? Were you trying to kill her? Akito Sohma: ...Hmph. You'll believe the heavens, but you won't believe your God. Fine. Let me ask you something, Hatsuharu. Why would you get so angry about Isuzu in the first place? You've always been kind to her. Do you feel sorry for her? Did you feel you couldn't leave her? Maybe it was just pity. Hatsuharu Sohma: Because I love her! And I know you knew that! Don't pretend you didn't! ...Where is she? Where's Rin? You know. Don't you?! You know where she is!

Akito Sohma: All right. What is it?
Hatsuharu Sohma: Why’d you push Rin out a window? Why would you do something like that?
Akito Sohma: What? I

Tohru Honda: I-I didn't know my mom was going to die- Akito Sohma: Silence! Stop talking! Hatori, I want you to erase this girl's memory. Do it now! Hatori! Tohru Honda: I wanted her to live a long time. I wanted her to be here to watch me. Akito Sohma: Stop crying! Stop it, stop crying! Tohru Honda: And I don't know what your family's curse is, but I'm happy. I'm happy that I know you, Akito. And I don't regret meeting you, or anyone, not at all. I wanna know you. Please tell me how you feel. Even if you're bitter or angry or frustrated, that's okay because the important thing now, Akito... You're alive.

Tohru Honda: I-I didn’t know my mom was going to die-
Akito Sohma: Silence! Stop talking! Hatori, I want you to erase this girl’s memory. Do

Kakeru Manabe: Hunh. I kind of want to ask, but I also kinda don't. Do I risk it? Yuki Sohma: Ask. Take the risk. Kakeru Manabe: Fine. What the hell? Yuki Sohma: ....the short version here, is that Machi is being inflexible! Kakeru Manabe: The short version tells me jack... Machi Kuragi: This has nothing to do with you, Manabe! So stay out of this, you SAUCEPAN!

Kakeru Manabe: Hunh. I kind of want to ask, but I also kinda don’t. Do I risk it?
Yuki Sohma: Ask. Take the risk.
Kakeru Manabe: Fine.

Yuki Sohma: Thank you. Machi Kuragi: ...For what? Yuki Sohma: Well, you're taking good care of it! I'm glad. Machi Kuragi: I...I'M NOT TAKING CARE OF IT!! Yuki Sohma: HUH? But...you made a bookmark. Machi Kuragi: Slamming it into books doesn't mean I'm taking care of it! Yuki Sohma: But you're using it because you like it, right? Machi Kuragi: I don't like it! It's big and hard to use - in fact, you can have it back! Yuki Sohma: Don't give it back!!

Yuki Sohma: Thank you.
Machi Kuragi: …For what?
Yuki Sohma: Well, you’re taking good care of it! I’m glad.
Machi Kuragi: I…I’M NOT TAKING CARE OF IT!!

Yuki Sohma: Hey. Is this the maple leaf I gave you? Machi Kuragi: No! Give it back! I was so asleep I even packed that... Yuki Sohma: Oh...maybe I have the wrong leaf. Machi Kuragi: You're wrong! Yuki Sohma: Okay. Sorry. Of course it was a different leaf. Machi Kuragi: ....but you're not...technically wrong. Yuki Sohma: Which is it, Machi? Machi Kuragi: I mean, there isn't any hidden meaning behind it. I just wasn't sure about throwing it away, so I made a bookmark. I made it myself. There's nothing beyond that...

Yuki Sohma: Hey. Is this the maple leaf I gave you?
Machi Kuragi: No! Give it back! I was so asleep I even packed that…

Ayame Sohma: You musn't die, Yuki! The setting sun we watched the day we pledged by the Seine together sparkles like gold in my heart even now! Yuki Sohma: We never saw that! We never pledged! Stop making up past events and put me down! Ayame Sohma: Be strong, Yuki!

Ayame Sohma: You musn’t die, Yuki! The setting sun we watched the day we pledged by the Seine together sparkles like gold in my heart

Yuki Sohma: ...Well...I'm not sure of leaving the two of them alone. Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda: ? Shigure Sohma: YOU...YOU BEAST! Kyo Sohma: I'm gonna kill you. Shigure Sohma: Not to worry, Tohru-kun! We'll put together a plan to protect you from the evil clutches of fiendish Kyo-kun. Tohru Honda: Ha? Yuki Sohma: Beast. Kyo Sohma: I'm gonna kill you both.

Yuki Sohma: I think I'll go back to the main house for New Year's. Tohru Honda: EH?! Shigure Sohma: Oh, my. Yuki Sohma: Just for one night. I'll come back the evening of New Year's Day. Shigure Sohma: Something up, Yuki-kun? That doesn't sound like you. Did you hit your head? Yuki Sohma: I did not. ...I'll be going. Tohru Honda: All right! Shigure Sohma: Hmm...if you're going to bother going back, you should take your time - stay longer than a night.

Yuki Sohma: I think I’ll go back to the main house for New Year’s.
Tohru Honda: EH?!
Shigure Sohma: Oh, my.
Yuki Sohma: Just for one night. I’ll

Tohru Honda: I...I won't lose! Why hide it? I'm the mean stepsister! Kyo Sohma: Uh, you're not the one being mean. Yuki Sohma: And how old are we turning this year?

Tohru Honda: I…I won’t lose! Why hide it? I’m the mean stepsister!
Kyo Sohma: Uh, you’re not the one being mean.
Yuki Sohma: And how old are

Tohru Honda: Eh...?! Ah! R-r-really?! I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pried! Shigure Sohma: Nah, I'm just pulling your leg. Sorry, sorry. Hatori Sohma: Pay attention to the circumstances before you make such flippant comments.

Tohru Honda: Eh…?! Ah! R-r-really?! I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pried!
Shigure Sohma: Nah, I’m just pulling your leg. Sorry, sorry.
Hatori Sohma: Pay attention to the

Tohru Honda: I wonder what she came here to do? She seemed to be in so much pain... Shigure Sohma: Hmmm... the truth is... Rin and I are going out.

Tohru Honda: I wonder what she came here to do? She seemed to be in so much pain…
Shigure Sohma: Hmmm… the truth is… Rin and

Shigure Sohma: My God man, you're dense!! You're as dense as an ogre! Dense as lead! If a tack is sharp, you're the thing farthest from it! A man like you has no right to have summer! Pack your bags and leave this place at once! Kyo Sohma: What the hell are you talking about?! Shigure Sohma: The fact that you still don't understand after I've made it so crystal clear is proof that you are an idiot of the highest order! Tohru Honda: Wh-What's the matter? Shigure Sohma: Tohru-kun, it's no use! Kyo-kun is wasted on you. Unlike me, he shows no promise whatsoever! You mustn't get near him! Kyo Sohma: At least I get that I'm really being made fun of!

Shigure Sohma: My God man, you’re dense!! You’re as dense as an ogre! Dense as lead! If a tack is sharp, you’re the thing farthest

Shigure Sohma: At least this summer won't be a complete bust. I can still be happy watching the soap opera unfold. Kyo Sohma: What are you talking about? Shigure Sohma: Wouldn't it be nice if your friendship were to, say...deepen? Kyo Sohma: Uh... still don't know what you're talking about.

Shigure Sohma: At least this summer won’t be a complete bust. I can still be happy watching the soap opera unfold.
Kyo Sohma: What are you

Kagura Sohma: Kyo-kun?! Kyo-kun, dear, what's wrong?! The door closed?! Kyo Sohma: Yeah, it's closed! And it won't ever open again!

Kagura Sohma: Kyo-kun?! Kyo-kun, dear, what’s wrong?! The door closed?!
Kyo Sohma: Yeah, it’s closed! And it won’t ever open again!

Kyo Sohma: Dammit, can't you do anything right? Yuki Sohma: You're the last person I need to hear from right now. Kyo Sohma: What's that supposed to mean?! You tryin' to start something?!

Kyo Sohma: Dammit, can’t you do anything right?
Yuki Sohma: You’re the last person I need to hear from right now.
Kyo Sohma: What’s that supposed to

Kagura Sohma: I'll take his good traits with his bad! Even if he turns into his true form, I'll stand by hi-- Kyo Sohma: That's...enough! Keep talking like that...and I'll never forgive you! Kagura Sohma: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'LL NEVER FORGIVE ME?! Kyo Sohma: OWWWWW!

Kagura Sohma: I’ll take his good traits with his bad! Even if he turns into his true form, I’ll stand by hi–
Kyo Sohma: That’s…enough! Keep

Kyo Sohma: Well... what do you want? Tohru Honda: I'm only worried about you, that's all... aren't you going to help at the preparations for the festival? Kyo Sohma: What do they need me for...? They've got Yuki, don't they? I doubt anyone's gonna miss me...

Kyo Sohma: Well… what do you want?
Tohru Honda: I’m only worried about you, that’s all… aren’t you going to help at the preparations for the

Tohru Honda: These cats must really like you a lot! Kyo Sohma: Yeah, don't ask why... they just come out on their own... same for dogs for Shigure, and rats for Yuki... Tohru Honda: It must be fun! Kyo Sohma: HOW THE HELL IS IT FUN?! This one time I was walking on the mountains with Kagura we got surrounded by a whole pack of boars! I thought they were gonna eat us! IT IS NOT FUNNY! Tohru Honda: I'm sorry.

Tohru Honda: These cats must really like you a lot!
Kyo Sohma: Yeah, don’t ask why… they just come out on their own… same for dogs

Principal: I've allowed that color, but I don't remember saying you could have long hair. Have it cut by tomorrow. Ayame Sohma: But Principal... Principal: No! Rules are made to be followed. I'll call the head of your family... Ayame Sohma: I... I come from a royal family. Principal: Huh? Ayame Sohma: I've been hiding it until now, but there's a country to which I must return. Principal: Wh-what? Ayame Sohma: If you must know, my hair has to be long because... it is said that the first king, the honorable Rurubara-sama, received a message when he reached the age of four. It was from Kandora-sama, who illumines the four directions with gold and red light. When Kandora-sama chanted "Ma Rudu Mani," his forehead shone with a blue light and, like a pony struck by a whip, Rurubara-sama's honorable person was liberated. With a wave of warm compassion, like trees that bend in a light breeze, his supple tresses grew... Now, meanwhile, Kashiparuu-sama was in his chambers sleeping peacefully, like a flower waiting to bud, and he gave voice to the pain that was in his heart, "Kampaniiru...!!" "Kampaniiru", in the tongue of my people, means, "Come forth, ocean of God's power; go forth, veneration!" Principal: Uh, errr, um, just - I'm sorry, but I have to go meet with some- Ayame Sohma: I'm not done explaining about Kandora-sama. Principal: THAT'S OKAY!! YOU CAN HAVE LONG HAIR!!!

Principal: I’ve allowed that color, but I don’t remember saying you could have long hair. Have it cut by tomorrow.
Ayame Sohma: But Principal…
Principal: No! Rules

Yuki Sohma: I commend your discipline... you stu... pid... cat. Kyo Sohma: YOU GIRLY MAN! Shigure Sohma: He'll never change...

Yuki Sohma: I commend your discipline… you stu… pid… cat.
Kyo Sohma: YOU GIRLY MAN!
Shigure Sohma: He’ll never change…

Hatsuharu Sohma: Whoa... I don't believe it. Someone just walked in who looks exactly like Yuki. A mystery. Yuki Sohma: It is me. Hatsuharu Sohma: But this is the main house. Yuki Sohma: That's why I snuck in. Hatsuharu Sohma: Peace. You too, Yuki, peace. Yuki Sohma: What was that for? Hatsuharu Sohma: In commemoration of your coming to the main house after such a long time. And for me.

Hatsuharu Sohma: Whoa… I don’t believe it. Someone just walked in who looks exactly like Yuki. A mystery.
Yuki Sohma: It is me.
Hatsuharu Sohma: But this

Tohru, putting other people’s feelings ahead of your own – that’s something you do all the time. I worry about what doing that will do to you. The thing is, if you keep taking on people’s feelings, bearing their burdens, the weight will grow, and grow, and grow. Until one day, I fear that it will crush you… buried beneath other people’s pain, I’d worry you’d lose what makes you you. And your smile would disappear… if it did, if that happened..

Shigure Sohma: At any rate, I’m weak, unsympathetic, and utterly worthless. Essentially I’m the very worst kind of man. Hatori Sohma: You know, what gets to me most about you is that you’re aware of those things and yet you don’t feel the slightest inclination to change any of them.

Shigure Sohma: At any rate, I’m weak, unsympathetic, and utterly worthless. Essentially I’m the very worst kind of man. Hatori Sohma: You know, what gets

Hatori Sohma: Akito has been in bed since the New Year. As usual, it’s emotional, not physical. Seems especially bad though. Shigure Sohma: I think it’s safe to assume that Yuki’s little show of defiance had something to do with it. Have him tend to the patient as his penance. Hatori Sohma: I don’t see that going well. Anyway, aren’t you going to visit Akito? I thought that was why you came today. Shigure Sohma: Oh, I tried! No admittance. I did get an earful though. I guess my attitude leaves something to be desired. Akito Sohma: You bastard! Yuki was absolutely horrible to me! And you didn’t come to see how I was doing? Why are you always like that – selfish and stupid? Why don’t you ever choose to put me first for once? Shigure Sohma: You’re one to talk. Seems to me, you’re the one who chose Kureno. Hatori Sohma: Akito didn’t choose anybody. Everyone has people they’re closer to than others. Even the God can play favorites.

Hatori Sohma: Akito has been in bed since the New Year. As usual, it’s emotional, not physical. Seems especially bad though.
Shigure Sohma: I think it’s

Akito, my mom, even Kyo – when things go wrong, I blame everyone except myself. I have flaws, weakness. I need to accept that they exist and recognize them for what they are instead of denying them or I will always be an idiot.

Akito, my mom, even Kyo – when things go wrong, I blame everyone except myself. I have flaws, weakness. I need to accept that they

Akito, I’ve been thinking: I guess I forgive you too maybe that is the wrong word. I’m sick of blaming others, so I’m done. Truth is, if I keep on shifting the blame, then I’ll never change… and I want to.

Akito, I’ve been thinking: I guess I forgive you too maybe that is the wrong word. I’m sick of blaming others, so I’m done. Truth

Saki Hanajima: I know why you have come: clearly you’re here to ask for my sister’s hand in marriage. Kyo Sohma: WHAT?! NO WAY! I’m not! Are you crazy? Classmate: Well sir, you did come here to find a wife, so she’s not wrong! Tohru Honda: Um.. sister? Kyo Sohma: Uh-wait! No! That’s not why I’m here! Seriously! Saki Hanajima: Then… you came for me? How awful. Kyo Sohma: Hey, it’s not like I’m happy about it either! Saki Hanajima: Well Prince, what is it that you want? Kyo Sohma: Why not just tell me what the hell you want? Saki Hanajima: Someday, will you admit the truth? Or will you keep deceiving yourself forever? Will you stay as you are: locked away in your palace alone and isolated until the day you die? Kyo Sohma: So what if I do? It’s not like it hurts anyone else but me. Why does it matter if I choose to– Tohru Honda: NO PLEASE! I don’t want that!! I–I…. OH my, I’m so sorry for interrupting. Please forget I said anything. I–I don’t know what I’m talking about! Ignore me and just continue on with the story!

Saki Hanajima: I know why you have come: clearly you’re here to ask for my sister’s hand in marriage.
Kyo Sohma: WHAT?! NO WAY! I’m not!

That’s what you want to see, right? Because if he’s not as awful as you think, then you wouldn’t have anyone to hate.

That’s what you want to see, right? Because if he’s not as awful as you think, then you wouldn’t have anyone to hate.

Disgusting. He’s had his hands all over it. It’s not mine anymore. I don’t want that thing, not if he’s touched it. Who cares anyway… it’s just a hat.

Disgusting. He’s had his hands all over it. It’s not mine anymore. I don’t want that thing, not if he’s touched it. Who cares anyway…

I couldn’t help it but cry. Something I couldn’t name, from deep, deep, deep in my chest was crying out: I wanted to see you. I didn’t want to see you. I want to embrace you. I want to escape. I love you. I hate you.

I couldn’t help it but cry. Something I couldn’t name, from deep, deep, deep in my chest was crying out:
I wanted to see you.
I didn’t

Kakeru Manabe: Guess so. Yuki Sohma: And maybe, try to re-button your shirt. Kakeru Manabe: Nah, it doesn’t have to be buttoned perfectly. It’s good enough the way it is so you might as well leave it. Yuki Sohma: Uh, good enough? What do you mean? Kakeru Manabe: Exactly what I said? Here, Yun-Yun! Check me out! How does it look? Yuki Sohma: AWFUL! Kakeru Manabe: Oh! That was brutal! Yuki Sohma: C’mon! You look goofy! Kakeru Manabe: Yea! There you go: sometimes you just got to laugh it off! Accept that there is only so much you can do and then let it go!

Kakeru Manabe: Guess so.
Yuki Sohma: And maybe, try to re-button your shirt.
Kakeru Manabe: Nah, it doesn’t have to be buttoned perfectly. It’s good enough the

Yuki Sohma: You can’t stand on your own. Your strength alone isn’t enough. Shigure Sohma: Sometimes, you have to lean on others. What you do next – that’s what matters. Do you keep on relying on somebody else to take care of you? Or – Yuki Sohma: As different as we might be, I realized that there was at least one way in which Rin and I were similar. We were yearning for the same thing.

Yuki Sohma: You can’t stand on your own. Your strength alone isn’t enough.
Shigure Sohma: Sometimes, you have to lean on others. What you do next

Hatori Sohma: It was you… she came here to talk to you, didn’t she..? Shigure Sohma: Yes, she did. Rin is on a mission and there is no dissuading her. The girl won’t rest until she’s found a way to break our curse. By herself, she drops by every so often because she suspects I know of one. Though, I assure you that I don’t. Hatori Sohma: Ending the curse? That’s absurd. Shigure Sohma: Of course. It’s a ridiculous idea, right? But Doc, is it really?

Hatori Sohma: It was you… she came here to talk to you, didn’t she..?
Shigure Sohma: Yes, she did. Rin is on a mission and there

Here I am, clinging to you! Powerless, completely terrified! I’m weak, so weak! I’m sorry! I’m lost! I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t know! I can’t do anything – not like this! Not on my own!

Here I am, clinging to you! Powerless, completely terrified! I’m weak, so weak! I’m sorry! I’m lost! I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Kakeru Manabe: Let’s say that did happen – that I turn out to be that kind of guy… Then what would you do? Yuki Sohma: Then we wouldn’t be friends. Kakeru Manabe: Not… friends? Yuki Sohma: Where did that lame threat come from?! I’m not some snotty little kid on the playground! I sound like an idiot! He’s gonna make fun of me, for sure! Wait! That’s not what I meant!! Kakeru Manabe: What?! You can’t go around saying you won’t be friends with people! That’s totally crossing the line! Think about all we’d be missing. We haven’t even had the chance to discuss our taste in erotica? Yuki Sohma: Wha–.. That.. worked?

Kakeru Manabe: Let’s say that did happen – that I turn out to be that kind of guy… Then what would you do?
Yuki Sohma: Then

If you like her that’s your business. And if she likes you back, that’s her business. But I don’t have any right to interfere. But, if you get close to her as some kind of joke or chase after her simply out of idle curiosity, then you’ll be making it my business. If you hurt her, I won’t forgive you. Ever. Do you understand? That’s something I could never forgive.

If you like her that’s your business. And if she likes you back, that’s her business. But I don’t have any right to interfere. But,

Thank you. I can never tell for sure how much of me you see: my cowardice, my resolve. I think you probably see both. And no matter what, you keep smiling quietly for me. You’re so precious to me, even now.

Thank you. I can never tell for sure how much of me you see: my cowardice, my resolve. I think you probably see both. And

Tohru Honda: Okay, I’m done now. Go on, do it. Kureno Sohma: Oh! I uh- I don’t have handcuffs on me. Sorry! It’s okay. I’ll give you a pass. There’s someone here who’s worried about you. Now, go on back. Tohru Honda: Um, Kureno...

Tohru Honda: Okay, I’m done now. Go on, do it.
Kureno Sohma: Oh! I uh- I don’t have handcuffs on me. Sorry! It’s okay. I’ll give

Mom, I’m real, a person. A living part of this world, not just a prop. But being part of the world means putting in effort. And that’s what I intend to do – to try. I’m well aware the result may not be something that you appreciate or agree with but at least it’ll be something I can be proud of. So please, don’t make these decisions for me. Don’t decide what my life is going to be before I’ve even begun it! I plan on going to college but I’ll choose the schools I’ll be applying to, not you.

Mom, I’m real, a person. A living part of this world, not just a prop. But being part of the world means putting in effort.

The truth is I envy you. You’re so sure, so completely certain of what you feel. You don’t waver or hesitate like I do – heart broken and alone yet you still…

There’s no logic involved when it comes to love. It doesn’t matter what your brain says. Once your heart latches on to someone, then it’s too late – they’re all you can think about.

Shigure Sohma: Ah, to be young like you people again: clumsily making your way through life, struggling so hard to keep your head above water even though you’d float if you’d just relax. Hatsuharu Sohma: Except you only figure that out by struggling so long and so hard you can’t fight it anymore … Shigure Sohma: Then go forth and struggle Haru… you were right before, it’s not time to float yet. Keep struggling for all that you’re worth. Isn’t that your job after all? Young people were meant to fight.

Shigure Sohma: Ah, to be young like you people again: clumsily making your way through life, struggling so hard to keep your head above water

So what? I look unhappy? Is that what you do: look around to see who is smiling, and judge the people who aren’t? You gauge everyone’s happiness to see who’s losing? Is that your idea of a good time? Does it entertain you?! Does it make you happy?! I constantly compare myself to other people. Sometimes it feels like the inferiority will swallow me until I disappear completely. Looking at him, so cool and confident, a voice in my head whispers that maybe he would be a better president. It’s so hard not to just run away when that voice follows me everywhere I go. The most difficult person of all is me. Turns out I do have a villain to fight – myself. The enemy that I should be focusing on is the one that I carry inside.

So what? I look unhappy? Is that what you do: look around to see who is smiling, and judge the people who aren’t? You gauge

When Master Kazuma showed Kyo fireworks, it wasn’t to prepare him for a future spent locked away in a cage. And when Yuki continues to fight, it’s not because he wants to return to the Sohma estate. I think they all have their own idea of what the future might bring, if only they had the freedom to strive for it – but they hold back. And if it’s the curse that’s restraining them, I want to break it. I’m probably in over my head – it’s easier to say you’ll protect someone and harder to do it. I have to try though. I have to do whatever I can because if it means seeing them set free, seeing them laugh and cry with their whole hearts, then I don’t care about being punished! I want to break the curse…

When Master Kazuma showed Kyo fireworks, it wasn’t to prepare him for a future spent locked away in a cage. And when Yuki continues to

I love you. I don’t want to take anything else from you. Or trample the hope you offer me. I’d dream that we would be together forever. Somewhere far from here… But not anymore… No, I’ll stop hoping that I will make you mine someday because I know I can’t. But please, at least stay by my side for the time I have left.

I love you. I don’t want to take anything else from you. Or trample the hope you offer me. I’d dream that we would be

Why didn’t my mom kill me instead of herself? She would’ve been doing a world a favor. So why am I still alive? Why am I still breathing in a world where I don’t deserve to be a part of? … And even now, I still look for Tohru… Plenty of people will reject me but just as many will reach out a hand…. Even though she’ll never come back, I couldn’t keep it.

Why didn’t my mom kill me instead of herself? She would’ve been doing a world a favor. So why am I still alive? Why am

Kagura Sohma: Isuzu? Are you going somewhere? I thought we could hang out! Oh, I know! The vacation house! That’s where everybody is at right now! Yun-chan is there, and Shi-chan, Hari-chan too! And, most importantly above all, my sweet Kyo! Plus, if you go, you can finally have the chance to- Isuzu Sohma: Kagura, how much longer are you going to go around playing at love? It makes me cringe. Kagura Sohma: Playing? Why would you say that? Isuzu Sohma: Because... It’s true, isn’t it?

Kagura Sohma: Isuzu? Are you going somewhere? I thought we could hang out! Oh, I know! The vacation house! That’s where everybody is at right

Shigure Sohma: So tell me: what did Akito have to say to you when you talked yesterday? Yuki Sohma: The truth that’s all. You satisfied? Shigure Sohma: No, I’m really not. Far from it in fact.

Shigure Sohma: So tell me: what did Akito have to say to you when you talked yesterday?
Yuki Sohma: The truth that’s all. You satisfied?
Shigure Sohma:

Akito Sohma: Really, she’s an outsider. It only makes sense to isolate her. Besides, who would want an ugly thing like her around anyway? Maybe I should just get rid of her. I would do it but I’m such a gentle soul. I can afford to be generous. Let the poor wretch get some enjoyment from this vacation. I’ve even been thinking that I might allow her to meet you. Soon. But you’ll need to behave and act like you’re still a proper member of the Zodiac – instead of the inferior creature that you’ve become. Afterwards, she’ll be alone again separated from the fools she dares to think of as friends. And she’ll stay that way, lonely and isolated for as long as she’s here. She’ll see that she can never beat me, she’s hopelessly out of her league in this fight. Kureno Sohma: She’s not alone, though. Kyo stayed behind too, right? Akito Sohma: How could she possibly be having fun with that monster?

Akito Sohma: Really, she’s an outsider. It only makes sense to isolate her. Besides, who would want an ugly thing like her around anyway? Maybe

Shigure Sohma: I’m still trying to solve the mystery of Kureno’s presence at this little summer retreat. He’s an elusive creature even you and I are rarely allowed to catch a glimpse of. Hatori Sohma: Perhaps Akito felt too insecure to leave him unattended. Shigure Sohma: Insecure? OH! Don’t tell me Ren came for a visit! Hatori Sohma: You know it’s forbidden to talk-.

Shigure Sohma: I’m still trying to solve the mystery of Kureno’s presence at this little summer retreat. He’s an elusive creature even you and I

Tohru Honda: All of that’s good, right? So then why… Why do you look so sad? Yuki Sohma: Because… You.. you’re like the sky. I’m sad because… I don’t know what I would do without you.

Tohru Honda: All of that’s good, right? So then why… Why do you look so sad?
Yuki Sohma: Because… You.. you’re like the sky. I’m sad

And you held onto that memory, treasured it all these years later. Thank you for that. You were lost and I saved you. I can’t tell you how much that meant. I’ve been told for so long that I was useless. But that day, for the first time, I felt what it was like to be needed. I don’t think that there is any way that you could know how deeply that chance encounter affected me. You share it all: your kindness, your warmth, your irrepressible joy. You don’t hold back any of them.

And you held onto that memory, treasured it all these years later. Thank you for that. You were lost and I saved you. I can’t

Yuki Sohma: The truth is, in the back of my mind, I probably knew what would happen. How life would change if I opened the lid. There are things that I need to do, things that I should have done sooner. It’s simple – so simple. But…that’s exactly what makes it difficult. Tohru Honda: You did it?… you opened the lid? Yuki Sohma: Yes, thanks to Akito. And to you, because you listened. You stood by me. You had faith, accepted me for who I am, even when I was weak. You don’t see it, don’t realize that you’re the one who’s always saving me.

Yuki Sohma: The truth is, in the back of my mind, I probably knew what would happen. How life would change if I opened the

I should know better by now: there are feelings that I keep hidden deep inside. So, of course… of course, she must have them too – things buried in her heart that no one else can feel.

I should know better by now: there are feelings that I keep hidden deep inside. So, of course… of course, she must have them too

Tohru Honda: Can we talk about you instead? The thing is, I get the feeling that your master is waiting for you. If something’s wrong, he’ll be there. But you have to take the first step. If you keep on bottling it up like this, it’s only going to make things harder on both of you. Kyo Sohma: Hey, you’ll break it. Calm down already. I get it, okay? Geez, you might be the biggest cry baby I’ve ever met.

Tohru Honda: Can we talk about you instead? The thing is, I get the feeling that your master is waiting for you. If something’s wrong,

Kyo Sohma: Anyway, when you’re the Cat, this sort of stuff isn’t easy to answer. People ask what my plans for the future are and it’s like I don’t even know what kind of life I’ll be allowed to have, ya know? I’m at a loss just thinking about all that. Okay what’s with that face? Tohru Honda: Hmm? Kyo Sohma: I mean, of all people, I’d figure you would understand. Tohru Honda: Huh? Me? Why do you say that? Kyo Sohma: Those plans you made before: graduating and then getting a job. They were for your mom’s sake. Stuff you decided when she was alive. But she’s not around anymore. And I’m sure sometimes you wonder how things will change now that you are on your own. Tohru Honda: No I don’t. Not really. I mean – well – I’m sure I’ll get a good job and – and work hard… Kyo Sohma: Then what’s wrong? Tohru Honda: Please. Please stop Kyo. Kyo Sohma: Stop what? Tohru Honda: Stop making me look closer. I can’t. I have to keep acting like everything is okay. Because if I don’t, then, then I’ll start crying and I won’t be able to stop.

Kyo Sohma: Anyway, when you’re the Cat, this sort of stuff isn’t easy to answer. People ask what my plans for the future are and

Boy: So…That’s Yuki Sohma huh? He’s as pretty as they say! Girl: I guess. But he just seems so… Boy: Huh? Girl: Forget it. Boy: You’re so weird. You should show more interest in other people. You know, take a page out of my book.

Boy: So…That’s Yuki Sohma huh? He’s as pretty as they say!

Yuki Sohma: I can feel it coming…I don’t know what it is…but I feel it in my chest. Kyo Sohma: It’s in my chest… expanding, filling it…I feel it coming. Tohru Honda: Something so big and it leaves me speechless.

Yuki Sohma: I can feel it coming…I don’t know what it is…but I feel it in my chest.
Kyo Sohma: It’s in my chest… expanding, filling

Ms. Honda, I can tie my tie faster than I used to and it looks better. And fewer of my vegetables have been dying lately. And uhm, I talk to more people now…some at least…These are small things – I know they are. But I’m trying. I’m working hard to get better at this stuff that I’m not good at. Basically, I want to change myself little by little, but ..someday, I want to be able to open the box that I’ve stuffed all my frightening feelings into and truly experience them without being swallowed whole. I want to keep the promise I made that day. But I’ve got a long way to go… you’ve been worried and I didn’t notice. I’m sorry… I know I’m still as lame as I’ve always been and there’s still a lot of things that I can’t tell you. Not yet. Just know: I’m changing little by little so that someday I’ll have the courage to tell you everything.

Ms. Honda, I can tie my tie faster than I used to and it looks better. And fewer of my vegetables have been dying lately.

Kazuma Sohma: The two of you have shown great improvement. Student 1: Thank you, Sensei! Kyo Sohma: Master? Kazuma Sohma: Hello Kyo! Welcome home!

Kazuma Sohma: The two of you have shown great improvement.
Student 1: Thank you, Sensei!
Kyo Sohma: Master?
Kazuma Sohma: Hello Kyo! Welcome home!

Kyo Sohma: Hey, you’re what they call a “Master,” aren’t you? Kazuma Sohma: What? Kyo Sohma: I mean, that’s what they call karate teachers on TV! That’s what you are – a Master! Kazuma Sohma: Well, yes I suppose that’s true. Although, none of my pupils actually call me by that title.

Kyo Sohma: Hey, you’re what they call a “Master,” aren’t you? Kazuma Sohma: What?
Kyo Sohma: I mean, that’s what they call karate teachers on TV!

And things did change. For the first time, someone showed me the outside world…helped me find my way… and stayed by my side.

Gossip Lady 1: So Kazuma really did take him in… Gossip Lady 2: The poor man shouldn’t have to care for that boy just because his own father couldn’t handle him.. Gossip Lady 1: Imagine: being responsible for such a creature.

The thing is, if she didn’t love all of me, that would’ve been fine. Or even if… if she were scared, I’d get that. Because being scared would’ve meant she was looking at the ugly part of me. But she never did. Mom used love to avoid seeing the truth… to avoid even thinking about it. But I wanted her to understand. I just wanted her to say ‘we would face it together.’ To say, she wanted to stay. Even back then, I knew it was stupid. A kid’s dream…that would never come true…because who would ever say something like that to me? That’s what I thought.. until… Tohru… Tohru…

The thing is, if she didn’t love all of me, that would’ve been fine. Or even if… if she were scared, I’d get that. Because

Kyo’s father: She loved you. She loved you more than anything else in the world! Kyo Sohma: STOP IT, YOU’RE WRONG! Don’t force that love on me. I don’t need it. I don’t.

Kyo’s father: She loved you. She loved you more than anything else in the world!
Kyo Sohma: STOP IT, YOU’RE WRONG! Don’t force that love on

Kyo’s mother: I’m so proud to have you as my son. Kyo Sohma: Yeah right! If you were so proud, why didn’t you let me go outside? Kyo’s mother: You’re so adorable, I have to keep you all to myself.

Kyo’s mother: I’m so proud to have you as my son.
Kyo Sohma: Yeah right! If you were so proud, why didn’t you let me go

Kyo Sohma: If I’m going to lose her anyway, I won’t hold back. I’ll hurt her so badly that she’ll never forgive me. So badly she’ll never have to worry about me again. I’ll wreck everything so she’ll never want to look back. I can’t take it. I’m sick of losing people. Sick of pity. Sick of being miserable. Sick of having things forced on me. Kyo’s mother: No, honey. You’re as human as anyone else. You turn into that form sometimes because of evil magic. Not because there’s anything wrong with you. You’re back to normal soon after right? That proves it! You’re not a monster. It’s okay, I promise. I’m not scared at all. Kyo Sohma: Liar. You were scared, weren’t you? Isn’t that why you checked dozens of times every day to make sure the beads were still on?

Kyo Sohma: If I’m going to lose her anyway, I won’t hold back. I’ll hurt her so badly that she’ll never forgive me. So badly

Kyo’s mother’s voice: It’s okay. It’ll all be okay. Because I love you. That’s why I don’t want anyone else to see you. Don’t look. Nobody look at my son. Don’t look. Don’t look. Young Akito: It’s disgusting.

Kyo’s mother’s voice: It’s okay. It’ll all be okay. Because I love you. That’s why I don’t want anyone else to see you. Don’t look.

I see you haven’t changed. You need to make a choice. Is this how you wish to live your life: covering your ears, closing your eyes, burying everything else beneath the hate you feel for Yuki? Is that the only way you can keep yourself from falling apart? If that’s how you live, then that’s how you’ll die.

I see you haven’t changed. You need to make a choice. Is this how you wish to live your life: covering your ears, closing your

Shigure Sohma: Still, you can’t be certain it will succeed. Even if she does accept him, Kyo will most likely reject that acceptance. And this time, he may well break for good. He might come to despise you. You may never see his smile again. Tell me: is that really a risk you’re willing to take? Kazuma Sohma: Even so… even so, I will take my chances… on her.

Shigure Sohma: Still, you can’t be certain it will succeed. Even if she does accept him, Kyo will most likely reject that acceptance. And this

Kyo Sohma: Does this mean your training Sabbatical is finally over? Kazuma Sohma: Yes it is. I’m afraid I can’t afford to spend any more time away from the dojo. Kyo Sohma: Great! So can I go back to the dojo too then? That’s what you said right? Kazuma Sohma: For now, you will continue to live here. Kyo Sohma: So what? You’re just going to break your promise? I guess you’re scared of Akito too? Kazuma Sohma: That’s not it. My observations have led me to believe that this is the best environment for you. Whether the two of you living under the same roof was a coincidence or fate, the fact remains – she is a comfort to you. Kyo Sohma: Master, please I can’t stand it here. It’s like I’m sitting in a lukewarm bath and my skin’s getting pruney. Sometimes, I hate it so much I feel like I want to scream. I didn’t ask for this. I don’t need to be comforted. Kazuma Sohma: That isn’t true. That’s not hate you feel.

Kyo Sohma: Does this mean your training Sabbatical is finally over?
Kazuma Sohma: Yes it is. I’m afraid I can’t afford to spend any more time

And stop feeling bad about a stupid cold. Just hurry up and get better so that goofy smile of yours comes back… When it’s not there…I just–get thrown off. So I don’t mind cooking a meal or two, if it’ll bring your smile back. Okay? Don’t worry about that part at least.

Yuki Sohma: Kagura should really tone her affection for Kyo down a little… or a lot. Tohru Honda: Actually, I wonder if she’s already trying to. Think about it: I bet you she wants to see him every single day, but she stays away. Holds back. Somehow, it seems like she’s purposefully trying to distance herself a little. I wonder what the reason could be…

Mitsuru: Stop hiding behind your lover!!! You’ve done it right?! Tell me it’s complete!!! Ritsu: We haven’t done anything!!!! Mitsuru: Is it good?!?!?! HUH?!? Ritsu: I have no ideaaaaa!!!!

Shigure Sohma: Hello there! Oh, was it today? Mitsuru: Sensei, you idiot! I’ll catch you and turn

Alright, no Kana. But maybe, you’ll find someone else to love. Someone who doesn’t bring you pain or sadness. A woman who brings you joy and hope instead.

And that’s why, in truth, I never wanted Mama to forget anything. I wanted her to try to get better, to not give up. To try and love me… which is me just being selfish I know. So that’s our secret.

And that’s why, in truth, I never wanted Mama to forget anything. I wanted her to try to get better, to not give up. To

Just as there are people who inflict pain, there are those who try to soothe that pain in themselves and others alike. That gives people courage, if nothing else.

No… I don’t deserve that to think I “need more”… My mother loved me so much, and I have two wonderful friends… and Sohma-kun’s family was so kind to me… You’ve giving me a roof over my head again. I have to be grateful for everything. I’m…blessed. So… So I shouldn’t say… that I want to… go home! I shouldn’t…miss being with the Sohmas so much! I wanted to get to know Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun better. I wanted to eat with them, and talk about all sorts of things. I wanted more… The truth is… I didn’t want to leave! I wanted to stay… I wanted to stay with Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun and Shigure-san. Is that selfish? Does it prove that I’m too soft on myself?

No… I don’t deserve that to think I “need more”… My mother loved me so much, and I have two wonderful friends… and Sohma-kun’s family

But we’re growing into such close friends. Don’t you feel that? I do! And I don’t want it to go away. I want us to grow even closer. There may be things I still don’t know about you but please give me the chance to learn them. Okay? Don’t let this be the end, Hana-chan. I love you. So much. Do you hear me? We both do!

But we’re growing into such close friends. Don’t you feel that? I do! And I don’t want it to go away. I want us to

I bet that no matter how oppressed you are by others, how hopeless you are, or how loved you are by your family, you want to be accepted by others.

Yuki Sohma: Brother, you're being rude. Stop making fun of her! Ayame Sohma: Making fun? Honestly, I'm giving Tohru nothing, but the highest respect. So princess, why don't you bring us some tea? And lunch would be nice. Yuki and Kyo: THAT'S NOT RESPECT!! Ayame Sohma: Of course; you're right. What was I thinking? Let me try again. Come, Tohru. We're going out to eat! Tohru Honda: Uh, I don't know. Ayame Sohma: Don't worry; it's my treat!

Yuki Sohma: Brother, you’re being rude. Stop making fun of her!
Ayame Sohma: Making fun? Honestly, I’m giving Tohru nothing, but the highest respect. So princess,

Tohru Honda: Momiji! Momiji Sohma: Tohru! Tohru Honda: Hi there! Kyo Sohma: What are you, stupid?! Momiji Sohma: Waaahhh! Kyo's hitting me! Kyo Sohma: IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN A GIRL'S UNIFORM?!

Tohru Honda: Momiji!

Kyo Sohma: You were ashamed of me. Kyo's Mother: No, I... I love you. I would die for you. I-I love you so much. Kyo Sohma: Why is that all you ever say? You never really accepted me, not the real me. You were just saying all the things you thought a mom was supposed to say.

Kyo Sohma: You were ashamed of me.
Kyo’s Mother: No, I… I love you. I would die for you. I-I love you so much.
Kyo Sohma: Why

Like Kyo, my grandfather was also cursed by the cat. For this he was treated as an outcast, alienated by his entire family, the pariah of the Sohma clan.

Kazuma Sohma: No, Kyo. You will continue living here. Kyo Sohma: Wadda you mean? You promised! Kazuma Sohma: This is the best place for you to live right now, I think. The environment here has done you good and will continue to do so. I think you know it, too. Whether by coincidence or fate, I believe that you have come to live in this house for a reason. Kyo Sohma: But I hate it here! Even the damn air in this place is smothering me. I hate it. I just want to get outta here. Kazuma Sohma: No, I don't think it's that at all, Kyo. It's not hate.

Kazuma Sohma: No, Kyo. You will continue living here.
Kyo Sohma: Wadda you mean? You promised!
Kazuma Sohma: This is the best place for you to live

Why? Why do you care so much about me, anyway? It's crazy. Most people... Most people don't want to have anything to do with me.

Tohru Honda: Yes, were you going to say something? Ritsu Sohma: No, no, Tohru, you were going to say something first. Tohru Honda: No, really, I don't mind. Please, go right ahead. Ritsu Sohma: No, really, that's all right. After you, please. Tohru Honda: Oh, no, I just couldn't. Ritsu Sohma: Me neither. Tohru Honda: Um, you know, for some reason I don't think this is really getting us anywhere.

Tohru Honda: Yes, were you going to say something?
Ritsu Sohma: No, no, Tohru, you were going to say something first.
Tohru Honda: No, really, I don’t

Tohru Honda: So why is it that Ritsu dresses like a girl? Shigure Sohma: Because he feels more comfortable that way. Ri is naturally a very timid person, and when he's dressed like a girl he doesn't feel as much pressure to be assertive.

I am so, so sorry. I can't seem to go anywhere without causing problems for everyone around me. I'm just a born troublemaker, I suppose. It's true. I'm so worthless I can't carry a paper bag. I don't deserve to share the same air with the rest of the human race. I'm a blemish on the face of the world. What was I thinking? A low-life like me should never have come to visit Shigure.

I am so, so sorry. I can’t seem to go anywhere without causing problems for everyone around me. I’m just a born troublemaker, I suppose.

Motoko Minagawa: I don't believe it! Yuki just smiled at me! Yuki Sohma: Miss Minagawa? Motoko Minagawa: Ahh, the sight of that smile is like a million volts down my spine. And what's more, we both like steamed leeks. It's as though we were destined to be together. Yuki Sohma: Miss Minagawa? I'm wondering. Is this something you do often? Motoko Minagawa: Hm? Yuki Sohma: That is, do you ALWAYS talk to yourself like this?

Motoko Minagawa: I don’t believe it! Yuki just smiled at me!
Yuki Sohma: Miss Minagawa?
Motoko Minagawa: Ahh, the sight of that smile is like a million

Motoko Minagawa: Ever since that day, I have been a slave to love. And my small pitiful heart - it has been filled to the breaking point with my love of you. Yuki... Ah, Yuki... It is my fate to be forever cursed and blessed by visions of your angelic face. Like a prick upon the thorn of a rose, your love... Motoko's Mother: For the love of... Keep it down, Motoko! You're waking the neighbors! Motoko Minagawa: Mother, haven't you ever heard of knocking? Motoko's Mother: Sure. Knock, knock, knock! Can I come in, Princess Loudmouth? Now, enough of this silly crush of yours. Go to bed!

Motoko Minagawa: Ever since that day, I have been a slave to love. And my small pitiful heart – it has been filled to the

I love Yuki. I love his beautiful silver hair and the way it sparkles in the sunlight, his creamy white skin, the way his luscious lashes caress his cheeks when his eyes are closed, his sweet, sweet voice... I love everything. Yuki is my everything.

I guess when they like someone, young boys do have some pretty strange ways of showing it, but still, I can't help but wonder if there's more to it than that. Along with all the confusion that comes with being a little boy, Hiro also has to carry the weight of living with a curse. That must be so hard on him, because - if he's anything like the other zodiac members I've met - inside that little body there could be a storm raging, a whirlwind of mixed up emotions, dark clouds of painful memories.

I guess when they like someone, young boys do have some pretty strange ways of showing it, but still, I can’t help but wonder if

Kyo Sohma: Hey, Hiro, get it through your skull - she's not your maid! Quit bossin' her around! Why do you even come over here if all you're gonna do is complain? If you don't like it, go hang out somewhere else! Hiro Sohma: Oh, what's this? Since when did the cat get to be the boss of THIS house?

Kyo Sohma: Hey, Hiro, get it through your skull – she’s not your maid! Quit bossin’ her around! Why do you even come over here

Kyo Sohma: Hiro, what're you doin' out here? Hiro Sohma: Why? Do I need a permit or somethin'? Do I have to have a reason to be here? Maybe I'm just sittin' here 'cause I want to - or is that some kinda crime?

Kyo Sohma: Hiro, what’re you doin’ out here?
Hiro Sohma: Why? Do I need a permit or somethin’? Do I have to have a reason to

You're not too quick, are you? Really! Everyone talks about you like you're somethin' special. I don't see what's the big deal. You don't seem that great to me. You're pretty dull.

You’re not too quick, are you? Really! Everyone talks about you like you’re somethin’ special. I don’t see what’s the big deal. You don’t seem

Fear not, Yuki. I may smile in the face of adversity, but I'm no stranger to the hard work and dedication required to overcome it. After all, without years of diligent effort I'd hardly be the extraordinary person you see before you today.

Fear not, Yuki. I may smile in the face of adversity, but I’m no stranger to the hard work and dedication required to overcome it.

Tohru Honda: But I hope they can talk to each other without fighting. Mine Kuramae: Well, even fighting is better than nothing. It's at least proof that they still acknowledge each other. That's what Ayame fears the most, you know. To... to have nothing.

Tohru Honda: But I hope they can talk to each other without fighting.
Mine Kuramae: Well, even fighting is better than nothing. It’s at least proof

Ayame Sohma: Oh, it's very interesting, the things people do in their private lives. Everyone has a secret or two they keep tucked away. Yuki Sohma: So, exactly, what kind of store IS this?

Ayame Sohma: Oh, it’s very interesting, the things people do in their private lives. Everyone has a secret or two they keep tucked away.
Yuki Sohma:

Shigure Sohma: Hold on. What's this? Kyo, what in the world are you doing? Kyo Sohma: What does it look like? I'm making leek soup. Shigure Sohma: LEEK soup? Um, is that for Tohru? Kyo Sohma: You really think I'd cook this crap for myself? YEAH, it's for Tohru. What's that look for? You got sump'in' you wanna say? Shigure Sohma: Um, no. Not really. Just wondering what you're making US for dinner. Kyo Sohma: Nothing! We'll order out!

Shigure Sohma: Hold on. What’s this? Kyo, what in the world are you doing?
Kyo Sohma: What does it look like? I’m making leek soup.
Shigure Sohma:

Shigure Sohma: Ohh, Mii, I've come down with a terrible cold. And since I'm not feeling well, I was wondering if we could move our deadline to next week? Mitsuru: Next week? No, I'm sorry, but we can't wait that long. Shigure Sohma: Ohhh... What? Could you repeat that? I'm getting dizzy. Everything's going black. I think I'm dying. Mitsuru: What? Are you all right, Shigure? Shigure, speak to me!

Shigure Sohma: Ohh, Mii, I’ve come down with a terrible cold. And since I’m not feeling well, I was wondering if we could move our

Hey, Tohru's sick today, so she had to stay home and get her rest, but everything's okay because I'm here to take her place. I can clean really good, too, so for today just pretend I'm Tohru.

Hey, Tohru’s sick today, so she had to stay home and get her rest, but everything’s okay because I’m here to take her place. I

Motoko Minagawa: Does, uh... well, does Megumi have the same sort of electric wave powers as you, uh ha... ah ha-ha? Megumi Hanajima: No, I don't. But I can do something else. I can put curses on people. I've worked hard for a long time, perfecting my technique, and now I am quite good at it.

Motoko Minagawa: Does, uh… well, does Megumi have the same sort of electric wave powers as you, uh ha… ah ha-ha?
Megumi Hanajima: No, I don’t.

Arisa Uotani: What's up? What did those girls want? Saki Hanajima: They SAID they're doing a special report on electric waves for the school newspaper, and they wanna interview me. They asked if they could come to my house this afternoon. Arisa Uotani: Huh? And you actually believe that? Saki Hanajima: Well, no. I can sense that they all have something much more sneaky in mind. Arisa Uotani: So, are you letting them come over? Saki Hanajima: Of course I am. I have something sneaky in mind, too.

Arisa Uotani: What’s up? What did those girls want?
Saki Hanajima: They SAID they’re doing a special report on electric waves for the school newspaper, and

Tohru Honda: I heard that President Takei's been telling everyone that he'd like YOU to be the one who replaces him, but you haven't decided to run yet, have you? Yuki Sohma: Well... I don't know. President Takei and the others... I think they're expecting something more from me than I can give them. I mean, if they knew the real me then they'd know. Tohru Honda: Know what? Yuki Sohma: Uh? Oh, it's not important. Forget I said it.

Tohru Honda: I heard that President Takei’s been telling everyone that he’d like YOU to be the one who replaces him, but you haven’t decided

Shigure Sohma: So, now that that's settled, I thought it might be fun to travel by car. Don't worry. Leave all the driving to me. Yuki Sohma: Shigure, do you even HAVE a license? Shigure Sohma: Hmm... Of course I have a license. Yuki & Kyo: [together] WHY did you have to think about it?

Shigure Sohma: So, now that that’s settled, I thought it might be fun to travel by car. Don’t worry. Leave all the driving to me.
Yuki

Shigure Sohma: At any rate, I though we might go to one of the Sohma spas or perhaps the lake house. How does that sound, Tohru? Tohru Honda: But I've already been on a trip to the hot springs. I couldn't go on another one. It would be too much. Shigure Sohma: And what a lovely trip that must have been. It's too bad I wasn't able to be there. I did sooo want to go, but now... I guess I'll NEVER get to take a trip with you. Tohru Honda: Okay, I'll go. Yuki & Kyo: [together] Have you no shame? Shigure Sohma: Not really.

Shigure Sohma: At any rate, I though we might go to one of the Sohma spas or perhaps the lake house. How does that sound,

Kyo Sohma: You can't have a picnic on a grave! Arisa Uotani: Huh? What's the big deal? Come on. Kyoko will LIKE it if we make a little noise before we leave.

Arisa Uotani: Huh? What’s the big deal? Come on. Kyoko will LIKE it if we make

I remember the day of the accident. One of the teachers came and called her out of class. They talked at the door for a minute and then they ran out. Her two friends went running after her. For a little while, everyone in class was silent. I remember thinking at the time maybe someone in her family's been hurt, but it was just a passing thought. Back then I barely even realized she existed. She was just one of the girls in class, the one called Tohru Honda. How could I have known that one day we'd be living in the same house, that we'd get to know one another like we have?

I remember the day of the accident. One of the teachers came and called her out of class. They talked at the door for a

Ayame Sohma: What do you think, Yuki? Has this helped you to understand your older brother? Yuki Sohma: I think you should leave.

Ayame Sohma: What do you think, Yuki? Has this helped you to understand your older brother?
Yuki Sohma: I think you should leave.

Momiji Sohma: Hey, Haru, is it weird for Aya to leave his shop? I mean, he IS the owner. Tohru Honda: Oh? So, you mean, Ayame runs his own business? Hatsuharu Sohma: That's right. He sells outfits for nurse, stewardesses, maids - things like that. Tohru Honda: So then he makes uniforms? Hatsuharu Sohma: Well, uh, not exactly. Momiji Sohma: Ayas's. He makes fantasies come true.

Momiji Sohma: Hey, Haru, is it weird for Aya to leave his shop? I mean, he IS the owner.
Tohru Honda: Oh? So, you mean, Ayame

Ayame Sohma: As you know, Yuki and I don't get along very well. Or rather, I should say, we've never really been very close. You see, we're ten years apart, and when Yuki was born he got sick fairly easily, so he was kept separated much of the time. Tohru Honda: Separated? Ayame Sohma: I, on the other hand, grew up doing WHATEVER I liked. Because of our separation I was only vaguely aware that I even had a brother. By the time I realized it, a deep gap had formed between us that we've never been able to bridge. That is our story.

Ayame Sohma: As you know, Yuki and I don’t get along very well. Or rather, I should say, we’ve never really been very close. You

So you really do exist, the princess I've heard so much about, a single blooming flower trapped in a house of stinking men. Are they treating you well, princess?

So you really do exist, the princess I’ve heard so much about, a single blooming flower trapped in a house of stinking men. Are they

Yuki Sohma: Momiji, why don't we give Miss Honda some time to herself? After all, the reason we brought her here was to give her a chance to relax, right? Momiji Sohma: Right. I get it. Yuki Sohma: Ah. Momiji Sohma: [to Tohru] But tonight we'll sleep together, okay? Kyo & Yuki: [together] He doesn't get it.

Yuki Sohma: Momiji, why don’t we give Miss Honda some time to herself? After all, the reason we brought her here was to give her

Hostess: Ahhhhhhh! You should be ashamed of yourself! To think you would even suggest the idea of sharing a room with a young woman! And all this time - even if you are a kid - I thought you'd to be a decent young man! Since when have you got such lecherous ideas into your hea-e-e-e-e-e-e-ed? Kyo Sohma: Hey, hold on a minute! Hostess: I'm sorry, world! I must apologize on behalf of this dirty, rotten boy!

Hostess: Ahhhhhhh! You should be ashamed of yourself! To think you would even suggest the idea of sharing a room with a young woman! And

Tohru Honda: Well, while we're here, maybe it would be fun to go out for a walk. Hostess: You wouldn't be the first to think so. Actually we've even had a few guests go walking who never made it back. Momiji Sohma: Tohru, you were supposed to laugh. Tohru Honda: Eh. Oh, it was a joke, heh-heh. How silly. Of course it was, heh. Momiji Sohma: Yeah, so don't worry. Really, they never lose guests for too long. There's a professional search party on call at all times. Tohru Honda: D'ye... what? You mean they have to send out search parties? Momiji Sohma: Tohru, that was a joke, too.

Tohru Honda: Well, while we’re here, maybe it would be fun to go out for a walk.
Hostess: You wouldn’t be the first to think so.

Arisa Uotani: Damn. Those fan club girls look scary today. They're either about to mug him or eat him. I can't tell which. Tohru Honda: Valentine's must be a stressful day for members of the Zodiac, what with so many girls trying to give them presents.

Arisa Uotani: Damn. Those fan club girls look scary today. They’re either about to mug him or eat him. I can’t tell which.
Tohru Honda: Valentine’s

Saki Hanajima: Cuckoo chicks. The girls who visited this locker were all cuckoo chicks. Yuki / Tohru / Arisa: [together] Cuckoo? Saki Hanajima: You see, just like the cuckoo chick pushes another bird's egg out of the nest, these girls threw out any chocolates that were already here so that their own chocolates would get more attention. The proof is in the garbage can.

Saki Hanajima: Cuckoo chicks. The girls who visited this locker were all cuckoo chicks.
Yuki / Tohru / Arisa: [together] Cuckoo?

Hatsuharu Sohma: Yuki and Kyo - do they still get in fist-fights everyday? Tohru Honda: No, but they argue just about every time they see each other. Hatsuharu Sohma: Huh. Well, that means they're getting along a little better, at least. It wasn't long ago that the idea would have seemed pretty hopeless. Tohru Honda: No. Hopeless? Hatsuharu Sohma: That's how is seemed, but I can tell they've both changed since then. There used to be so much tension between them if they were in the same room you could feel it in the air. Things seem much more relaxed now. It could be because you're here. Tohru Honda: No, I doubt I've made THAT much of a difference. Hatsuharu Sohma: Well, I can't prove that yet, but I haven't been around enough to see what's going on. I guess the reason isn't really important. I'm just glad to see they're being better, especially Yuki. He was my first love, after all. Nothing against Kyo, Yuk' is just very special to me, although when we were kids I couldn't stand him. I hated his guts.

Hatsuharu Sohma: Yuki and Kyo – do they still get in fist-fights everyday?
Tohru Honda: No, but they argue just about every time they see each

Kyo Sohma: And if it's a fight you want, you got it! Just bring it on! Hatsuharu Sohma: That's more like it, coward. It's about time you came around.

Kyo Sohma: And if it’s a fight you want, you got it! Just bring it on!
Hatsuharu Sohma: That’s more like it, coward. It’s about time

Hatsuharu Sohma: "Go away?" "Leave me alone?" When did you become such a little pansy, huh? Kyo Sohma: You know, when you go black you're a real bastard! Hatsuharu Sohma: Oh yeah? Just for that, when I'm done with you, I'm gonna take your little girlfriend! Kyo Sohma: What the...? You're gonna WHAT? Hatsuharu Sohma: Oh, you know, I'm gonna do this and a little of that, and I'm definitely gonna do THAT. Kyo Sohma: [to himself] Huh? What is he...? This is the same little brat that used to get lost on the way to the bathroom if I didn't take him, and now he thinks he's some kind of... I don't know what. He really is a bastard when he goes black. Who got him all worked up, anyway? Okay, I guess that was me. So why's he gotta bring Tohru into this? What's she got to do with anything? And what's he talkin' about all this "I'll do this, I'll do that" crap? What ever it is... Kyo Sohma: [aloud to Haru] You're sick!

Hatsuharu Sohma: “Go away?” “Leave me alone?” When did you become such a little pansy, huh?
Kyo Sohma: You know, when you go black you’re a

Shigure, Kyo and I will be going to the main house tonight. I'm sorry. I really should've explained earlier. It's sort of a Sohma family tradition. I, uh... I guess it was just such an obvious thing to us that we'd be going that we completely forgot to mention it.

Shigure, Kyo and I will be going to the main house tonight. I’m sorry. I really should’ve explained earlier. It’s sort of a Sohma family

It's been a strange day. It seems like I learned a lot but at the same time it still feels like I don't know anything at all.

Hatori Sohma: Even within the Sohma family itself, there are few who know our secret in regard to the zodiac. It is exceedingly rare that a complete outsider, such as yourself, should come to learn of it. Ordinarily, this would have been corrected at once, but thus far it seems Akito has made an exception in your case. Tell me, do you enjoy living there in Shigure's house? Tohru Honda: Y-yes, VERY much. Hatori Sohma: All the more reason that you should leave. It would be best for you if you had nothing further to do with the Sohmas. Leave Shigure's house and return to your own family. That's only reasonable, is it not? Knowing Shigure, I doubt he would ever say anything to you, but there are many dark secrets within the House of Sohma. Life among us is not as pleasant as you seem to believe. An evil shadow looms over this family. That is the nature of our curse. Tohru Honda: Evil?

Hatori Sohma: Even within the Sohma family itself, there are few who know our secret in regard to the zodiac. It is exceedingly rare that

Yuki Sohma: Could it be any weirder than me? It's freakish - a boy in a dress. Schoolboy 1: Don't even say that! You're the greatest. Schoolboy 2: Ah, man, if you were a real girl I'd be all over you, heh. I mean... you know.

Yuki Sohma: Could it be any weirder than me? It’s freakish – a boy in a dress.
Schoolboy 1: Don’t even say that! You’re the greatest.

Tohru Honda: Wow, Kyo, with as much as you want to beat Yuki, you still don't try to sneak up on him when he's like this. It's very admirable. Kyo Sohma: No, that's not it. It's not like that. He's stronger when he's half-asleep. Tohru Honda: Oh, so you HAVE tried to attack him, then. Kyo Sohma: Yeah, I tried and I got beat even worse than when he's awake, okay? Do you know what that means? It means that stupid, dirty, little, sissy rat-boy's always holding back on me!

Tohru Honda: Wow, Kyo, with as much as you want to beat Yuki, you still don’t try to sneak up on him when he’s like

I have a new home living here with the Sohmas, and I have the two most wonderful friends in the whole world who care about me so so much. Just knowing that I can always count on you to be there for me, and how much strength that gives me, I'm already so lucky. If I'm not thankful for what I have, I'd just be asking for it.

I have a new home living here with the Sohmas, and I have the two most wonderful friends in the whole world who care about

I gotta say I didn't know what to make of all this when she told us, but it looks like Tohru's fitting right in here. I'm happy for her. And I guess I can understand why she didn't want to say anything at first; but, still, we made a promise. The three of us swore over Kyoko's grave: when the time came, we would be there to help each other, no matter what. That probably sounds a bit overdramatic, but it wasn't, really, for us. After all, Tohru was our first real friend and everything.

I gotta say I didn’t know what to make of all this when she told us, but it looks like Tohru’s fitting right in here.

No, no, it's all right. If you don't mind letting the last of the wonderful beef stew that Tohru put her heart and soul into preparing for us get burned to a crisp, then neither do I. After all, I suppose burnt beef stew will be just as satisfying as burnt miso soup or burnt rice or burnt eggs or any of the fine burnt dishes Yuki used to make for us before Tohru fell into our lives. Ah, yes, we all seem to do quite well on our charcoal-rich diet. I'm sure there's no reason we all won't grow accustomed to it again.

No, no, it’s all right. If you don’t mind letting the last of the wonderful beef stew that Tohru put her heart and soul into

Oh course, the real crisis here is that we won't be able to cook any dinner while the kitchen's wrecked. I guess we're just going to have to grit our teeth and call for take-out.

Kagura Sohma: When we were kids you asked me to marry you. Kyo Sohma: Only because you threatened to kill me if I didn't!

Kagura Sohma: When we were kids you asked me to marry you.
Kyo Sohma: Only because you threatened to kill me if I didn’t!

Kyo Sohma: Why do you want to go to a school with all these crazy, giggling girls, anyway? Yuki Sohma: I suppose YOU'D prefer I live my life in fear of being transformed. You sound like Akito. He thought I should attend an all-boys academy, too.

Kyo Sohma: Why do you want to go to a school with all these crazy, giggling girls, anyway?
Yuki Sohma: I suppose YOU’D prefer I live

Since when have you been so talkative about our family matters? You're planning on erasing Miss Honda's memories, aren't you, just like in the old days?

Tohru Honda: They're animals! All of them! Delivery Guy: Yes they are. You don't see many animals around here, now that you mention it you don't see to many girls around here either...

Delivery Guy: Yes they are. You don’t see many animals around here, now that you mention it you don’t

Shigure Sohma: Oh, now that I think about it, there was an article in the evening paper about a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood. The culprit is still at large, or so they say. Kyo Sohma: Oh, great. If a burglar came to the house, she'd probably open up the front door and invite him in. Yuki Sohma: She'd give him a seat at the table and serve tea, then, knowing her, she'd want to hear the burglar's whole life story. Shigure Sohma: Well, let's be on our way, shall we? Can't leave you two standing in the middle of the street like that.

Shigure Sohma: Oh, now that I think about it, there was an article in the evening paper about a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood.

Yuki Sohma: In any event, if we go back to Sohma House tonight we'll have to stay until the third, won't we? So for three days we'd be leaving Miss Honda here all alone. Stupid cat, did you just realize that? Kyo Sohma: Don't call me stupid! Yuki Sohma: Then don't ACT stupid, stupid.

Yuki Sohma: In any event, if we go back to Sohma House tonight we’ll have to stay until the third, won’t we? So for three

Arisa Uotani: Quit horsing around, you two. Kyo Sohma: Who asked you, ya dirty bitch. Arisa Uotani: You're gonna talk to me like that after I came here to help you out of the goodness of my heart?

Arisa Uotani: Quit horsing around, you two.
Kyo Sohma: Who asked you, ya dirty bitch.
Arisa Uotani: You’re gonna talk to me like that after I came

Kyo Sohma: You know, she always used to leave that window in her room wide open. Yuki Sohma: What were you doing in her room? Kyo Sohma: I wasn't! I saw it from outside!

Shigure Sohma: There, isn't that better? Yuki's still looking for some ice, if you want it. Tohru Honda: I'm sorry. Shigure Sohma: You must be tired. It's a lot to happen in one day. Tohru Honda: Mm-hm. I... I lost my home again. Shigure Sohma: Are you ok? Tohru Honda: Yes. It's sad... but... not as sad as other things. Shigure Sohma: Like what? Tohru Honda: Like... not telling mom "be safe" on the day she died. I said that every morning: "bye! be safe!"... except that day, I didn't say it. I had a test. So I stayed up studying almost the whole night. And when it was time for mom to go to work, I didn't wake up. I couldn't tell her "be safe". And she never came home. I used to think about quitting school. Working. Mom told me she didn't finish school... but she always wished that she did. Kyoko Honda: That's why I need you to stick with it, so you can tell me what it feels like to hold that diploma in your hand. And then, maybe, you can have the life I never got to have. Tohru Honda: When she said that, that's when I knew. Why she worked so hard. It was all for me. And with everything she did... I couldn't even get up long enough to say "goodbye" as she was walking out the door. Not even that one little thing... and then she was gone. So now, I have to finish high school like mom wanted me to no matter what. I have to hold that diploma in my hand. I have to... for her. I can't give up... just because... of a fever... like this.

Shigure Sohma: There, isn’t that better? Yuki’s still looking for some ice, if you want it.

Hatsuharu Sohma: I hate your guts! It's the rat's fault everyone laughs at the cow! They call the cow a fool and an idiot! IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU DIRTY MEAN STINKING RAT! Young Yuki: Well, is it true? About you, I mean. Is that what you are? Are you a fool? Hatsuharu Sohma: No. No, I'm not. I'm... I'm not a fool. I'm not a fool... Young Yuki: Mhm. I didn't think so.

Ayame Sohma: By the way, Yuki, I was talking to Hari and he gave me some wonderful advice and now I will impress you with my steadfast determination. Kyo Sohma: What determination? Ayame Sohma: Simple; my determination to forge a bond with my younger brother. Yuki, as your older brother, I order you to respect me!

Ayame Sohma: By the way, Yuki, I was talking to Hari and he gave me some wonderful advice and now I will impress you with

Kagura Sohma: I'm here for Valentines, silly! It's a very important day for lovers to be together! Kyo Sohma: You're not gonna find any lover in this house! Shigure Sohma: Kyo, behave please. I don't want the house getting... you know... smashed. Kyo Sohma: Damn it! I should've left on that journey sooner! How was I supposed to know today was Valentines?

Shigure Sohma: Good morning, everyone! Yuki Sohma: Good evening is more like it. I think your sleep schedule is a bit off. Shigure Sohma: Nope, such is the life of the creative mind. Well, who is this pretty girl? Would you like Grandpa Shigure to give you a candy? Yuki Sohma: Stop that! The way you say it, it makes you sound like a dirty old man! Shigure Sohma: I see Yuki is being cold as usual. Yuki Sohma: And, as usual, you're being an idiot.

That I'd stay by Akito's side. If that's what it takes for that child to go on without crying, I will decieve the others, and I will keep living as if possessed by the bird. If that's what it takes for that child to not weep. That's... What I thought.

I won't be seeing Arisa. Because from now on I will continue to be by Akito's side. Only twice... It was only twice that I had met Arisa and talked with her. It was a tiny... Trivial encounter. If it ends now, without my seeing her, it will be just a trivial memory and someday it will fade into nothing.

I like you Haru. I'm no good without you, Haru. When you're gone, Haru, I'm so uneasy, I can't keep myself together. It HAS to be YOU Haru. Leaning on you... Relying on you...

Since when did the "Cat" set the rules for this house? You mean to tell me that you contribute more to this house than anyone else? Do you pay all the bills?

I know it's my fault for being a son that she has to apologize for. I... Really AM hopeless... I'm possessed by a vengeful spirit, but unlike the other members of the zodiac... I don't have anything resembling talent. I have to study twice as hard to be able to keep up with everyone else. I'm weak... And clumsy... On the "inside," they often talk about how worthless I am... And my poor parents, all they can do is apologize.

I wish... That I could say... That I was better than that. But I too... Would have sold you... In exchange for satisfying my own indulgence. And there were MANY indulgences. I hurt many people... TRAMPLED them... ABANDONED them. I was so foolish. I'm not sad. I'm downright PATHETIC.

I thought he'd been depressed recently... So I came to see you... Or rather, to check on Yuki. But I found him so CHEERFUL. To be honest, I was disappointed. I thought I might get a chance to be more of a big brother to him.

But it's not surprising that Yuki didn't say anything... As you've seen, we didn't get along. It maybe more accurate to say we're "not close." we're ten years apart... And soon after Yuki was born, he was isolated because of his illness. It was so bad, I only remembered in passing that I even HAD a brother.

But it’s not surprising that Yuki didn’t say anything… As you’ve seen, we didn’t get along. It maybe more accurate to say we’re “not close.”

It seems... I don't have any confidence after all. I think that might have been how she really feels. I guess I'm just SCARED. Maybe... Her words hurt me... More than I realized.

Hatsuharu Sohma: Really... You should've seen Rin. She went pale, then white, then worse pale. See it next time. And her breasts grew again. Yuki Sohma: Are you trying to lighten the mood, brag, or just start in on sexual harassment? Hatsuharu Sohma: Can't it be all three?

Hatsuharu Sohma: Really… You should’ve seen Rin. She went pale, then white, then worse pale. See it next time. And her breasts grew again.
Yuki Sohma:

How can you say something like that to your own daughter? What kind of parents are you?? A kid can’t cope with crap like that! She blames herself for the things that you did. She’s hurt so badly, she ended up here and you don’t even feel bad at all?!? Adults take their anger out on us, laugh at us. They hit us and neglect us. IT HURTS. We feel pain just like you do, morons! Why can’t you understand something so simple???

How can you say something like that to your own daughter? What kind of parents are you?? A kid can’t cope with crap like that!

You make me sick, you and your pathetic girly whining... You're not a MAN! You're just a little kitty-cat who's afraid to fight! Know what?! YOU CAN GO TO HELL! HAHAHAHAHA!

It's kind of... ANNOYING. Apparently they don't like my hair OR my attitude. So I think in that case... I have no choice but to get my ears pierced.

But that was AMAZING, Yuki! You were first place in the contest! And the shock caused Kyo to go to bed early out of spite.

It was kind of a SECRET that we were going out. This is the first time I've told anyone. Since... We're both in the zodiac, I thought... She got hurt BAD... And she's CHANGED. At first, I'd go see her at the sick room, and we'd sneak out together. But lately... I just couldn't tell what she was thinking. And suddenly she DUMPED me... Why? WHY?... Why do I still... Want to see her so badly?

Besides don't you think I get obsessed with myself, too? Why else do you think... I turn BLACK and tear things apart?

We can't go back to the way things were. The feelings of guilt and shame won't dissapear. They'd spread like a cancer. Eating away at the light and the joy that Kana once brought me.

For a long time if Akito or my father... Ordered me to do it, I would surpress anyone's memories. So even though I knew it would hurt Yuki... I erased his friends memories.

You... Think a little more about Yuki and Kyo... And Honda-kun. Stop trying to stir things up. If you push hard, you'll break things.

Now might be a good opportunity to let you know... You shouldn't make too much of guys like me. I wasn't particularly trusted by Akito, nor am I worth any special mention. I have no power... And little merit. I'm worthless. THE WORST KIND OF MAN.

The two of them found their own happiness... And you're still all alone with only your unspoken feelings towards Hatori left to keep you company. Doesn't that make you feel lonely?

Haa-san... Has something that Aaya admires. He looks up to him... And adores him. Once a long time ago, he talked seriously to me about it. I guess -- to put it simply -- he LOVES him.

Shigure Sohma: In the car... on the way back... he called Tohru "ugly". If you lock someone up... in a dark room... for a long, long time... and mentally torture them... it leaves indelible scars. Hatori Sohma: But Akito doesn't understand. If someone can cause those scars, there is sure to be someone who can heal them. That fact gives me more than a little courage.

The person dear to me. The person I so admired... She gave me exactly what I needed. She's precious to me. I want you to be happy. You more than anyone. I'm sure one day... You can find your own proof. You'll do it your own way. That place where we can sulk or get angry if we needed to. One day. And when that day comes... I should be able to tell you. I'll confess how I feel... And finally truly thank you. Clearly. Directly.

I'm... I'm so happy. Was I able... To help... Even just a little? Was I? That makes me so happy. I'm so, so happy! That's right. I remember. There was a time... A moment... When somebody needed me.

I don't know his sadness. I don't know ANYTHING. If I really did disappear from this world... Would even a little of his sadness disappear? Maybe disappearing... Is the first truly useful thing I can do. If my dark, useless world is such a hated place then there really is no point to my existence.

Elementary school. That was a painful place for me. I avoided interacting with the people who surrounded me. Honestly, I didn't know HOW to interact with them. And I didn't want to be hated anymore. And yet... I still couldn't avoid everything.

Yuki Sohma: That idiot. He just HAD to go and bring on Black Haru. Tohru Honda: B-b-b-black? Yuki Sohma: Haru's pretty easy to get along with, but once he's snapped he's uncontrollable. That's our nickname for him when he's like this - Black Haru. Tohru Honda: Uh, so, what you're saying is he's got the same sort of temper as Kagura? Yuki Sohma: Not at all. I'm saying he's a thousand times worse.

Thank you... For not forgetting... The memory of that day long, long ago. I was very happy... To be able to save you when you were lost... I've been taught to think that I'm a boring person... But that day... At that time... For just that moment... You made me a NECESSITY. You can't understand... HOW INCREDIBLY HAPPY THAT MADE ME.

In order to fight on... I want to believe that my hopes aren't for nothing. I want to believe... That there really is more to life than darkness. Just like even if I'm pelted with rain.

Everyday... Akito would come to deny everything. In a pitch dark room, I would listen to pitch dark words. My mother and father wouldn't come for me. Neither would Nii-san. In the dark room... What I imagined... WHAT... I WANTED...

It's not that I don't like them... I just don't EXPECT anything from them... Or WANT anything from them. At this point... I no longer have any love... For the people who sold me for their own profit. In the people who sold me, like I was a TOOL. Still, if I call them... For something like a parent-teacher conferences... They might try to TAME me again. I don't know... If I could take that again.

Truth is... I've THOUGHT about it. But I'm the CAT... After all. Whatever I do... No matter how much I want it... Even if Shishou says it's okay... If the Sohma don't like it, it's over. If there's one thing this stupid family is good at, it's telling people what they CAN'T do.

Why do people have to ask stupid questions like "what are you going to do when you graduate?" They just don't get it. Being possessed by the cat, it's not that easy. I don't even know if I'd be able to live with normal people. Just thinking about it, I freeze up.

Even though they were ignoring her, whenever Kisa said anything, they'd laugh. They'd just start giggling. You know... I've.... Never had that happen to me in class. All I can do is imagine, so that's what I did. Wondering how I'd feel if everyone started giggling at me everytime I said something. It... It was a very... Very sad feeling...

Either one would be great! But if it's a girl, it would be sad that he can't hug her tight. But since it definitely won't be possessed by a vengeful spirit... It won't make it's mama sad!

The mothers of children possessed by vengeful spirits... Either become extremely overprotective of them...or REJECT them entirely. My mama rejected me. She rejected me with her whole body. She wouldn't look at me. She was always irritated... Always hysterical... Thinking about it now... I can tell she was BROKEN. Just like Kana.

Please, just one more thing. Uo-chan’s my friend and it’s hard to see her hurting, So at least take this. Here [hands Kureno a note], it has her contact information. Accepting it doesn’t mean you have to get in touch with her right away, or ever for that matter! But, who knows? You might feel different about it tomorrow. Maybe…maybe you’ll wake up and then suddenly decide you wanna see her again. It might not be tomorrow, it could be the day after that, or a year from now, or ten years! But, as long as you’re alive, things will keep changing, in ways you can’t predict! As long as you’re alive, you’ll find new things to wish for!

But... But Kyo, he's still alive, and he's free. Living "outside". Except, I heard... that's going to change not long from now. That's what Akito said when we talked. After high school, Kyo will be locked away. Yuki and others will be going back to the Sohma estate. All the zodiac members will be reunited, for good. They're destined to be together forever. With Akito as the master of their hearts and souls. If all that's true, and the curse is binding them to the future Akito told me about... ...then I wanna find a way to stop it. I wanna break the curse. That's why I came here. If you know something, anything that might help set them free, I'm begging you to tell me.

She couldn’t tell you. It’s hard to tell someone that you’re being bullied. I couldn’t tell my mom, either. She found out after a while, though. For some reason, I started apologizing like crazy. I felt so ashamed. I started to feel ashamed of myself for being bullied. And I was embarrassed to let my mom find out. I was scared she wouldn’t love me anymore. I was scared… …to let people know about this part of myself. I desperately tried to hide it by pretending I was okay. That made me feel even more ashamed… and embarrassed. So when my mom said, “It’s okay,” I was so relieved. She said that there was nothing to be embarrassed about, and I cried again, this time in relief. Kisa-san might also feel this way. She didn’t want you to hate her. She couldn’t tell you because she loves you.

We thought surely you would join us for the New Year's banquet, but you failed to do so. Such a shame. Akito was especially distressed by your absence. You would do well return to Akito's side before you cause any irreparable harm.

The older ones who possessed Zodiac spirits cried like that as well. I wouldn’t see it as rudeness. Rather, I believe it is evidence of the incredible bond that they share. It must be an unbreakable connection.

Hatori: I’m surprised though… I assumed you would have known [Hiro’s situation] long before now… I thought Akito told you about anything concerning the family. Shigure: Apparently even I am only trusted so far… Let Akito scheme. When the dust settles, one of us will be sorry. But it won’t be me. Hatori: You’re a child. Shigure: Yes, I’m disgustingly, unrepentantly immature. Hatori: I worry what would happen eventually if Akito decides to take it out on Honda. Like Hiro did… Shigure: I have to say – we really are terrible at this…the whole love thing…when it comes to cherishing another person…we Sohma’s are lost..

Are you still trying to convince people that nonsense is true? You little fool. How many times do I have to explain this to you? That so-called bond may make you feel something, but it is not real love. The "forever unchanging" story you like to tell yourself is exactly that: A fantasy. A delusion. So of course I pity the ones who have to put up with it.

Are you still trying to convince people that nonsense is true? You little fool. How many times do I have to explain this to you?

You really should watch your mouth around the zodiac members, Akito. If you're not careful, they'll lose all affection for you, family head. Right, Hatori? Poor dear. I feel sor--.

You really should watch your mouth around the zodiac members, Akito. If you’re not careful, they’ll lose all affection for you, family head. Right, Hatori?

Be careful. You're still accountable for your words and actions, love is no excuse. Having feelings for someone doesn't give you the right to control them or the people in their lives. Love can become as much of a burden as it is a blessing, especially if it's one sided, forcing the full weight of your affection onto someone else can cause great pain. However intense your own may be, don't ever forget to respect their feelings, if you do, they may come to despise you in the end.

I do not protest that power. What I do is much different. Mine is the power to curse people. I'm especially skilled at foiling counter curses. I'm proud. That's quite hard.

It's okay. You didn't need to bring me here and say all this stuff that's obviously hurting you. So Stop. Listen. I'm never going to fall in love with you, Kagura. Or anyone else, for that matter. I just... thought you should know that. So you looked down on me. What's it matter? I don't care. You have nothing to apologize for.

The littlest things make her happy. She's always smiling. Always finding something to laugh about. She's selfless. Constantly giving more than she gets in return, never realizing. She deserves so much more than what she has. She think she's stupid, a burden, that there's nothing good about her.

My name, it sounds special somehow if you’re the one saying it. When did that happen? If something will make you smile, I’d be willing to do it over and over again. When did I start thinking stupid sappy things like that? And why? It’s almost like… I’m…

Please. Hate me, that's fine, but don't abandon her. All right? There's no need for you to be so cold. Like you said, she doesn't cling to me out of love. There's one person she's always wanted, and I think we both know it isn't me.

Perhaps the most tragic thing of all is that the zodiac members lack the will to oppose Akito. Akito is like a small child, screaming and crying hysterically to get what it wants. A fragile, unstable child. Yet, to those possessed by the animal spirits, that child is a god. A being to be feared and respected. Whether they're weak or strong, they feel that irresistible pull, and single word of rejection from Akito's lips makes them feel like they're being torn apart from the inside out. It's as the zodiac members and their god exist in a world that is unfathomable and impenetrable to others. A world that's theirs alone. They're connected by that which flows through their veins. It's bonds of blood.

No, it is. But they don't allow my grandfather to be buried there. He was laid to rest far away. I know how it sounds, but honestly, I think it's better this way. He has a kind of freedom in death that he never had in his life. He's finally able to be "outside".

Yuki Sohma: Aren't you going after him? Kagura Sohma: No, I'm not. I've made up my mind. Kyo already knows I accept him, no matter what and no matter what form he's in. I mean, there isn't another girl in the whole world who loves him as much as I do, which is why I know that I can't help him. Right now the only one who CAN help, the person he needs the most, is Tohru. Yuki Sohma: Kagura... Kagura Sohma: I'm a member of the zodiac, the same as him, so for me to go to him now, it wouldn't give him any comfort. He needs to be accepted by someone else, someone who doesn't share our curse, and so all I can do is leave things up to Tohru.

Yuki Sohma: Aren’t you going after him?

The other members of the zodiac seemed to have so much pain... But I'm DIFFERENT. Papa and mama are DIFFERENT. We always have fun. We're always smiling and happy. It was just like... We were inside a PLAY. With just that... One question... The play... Came to an end. Even though... They hated me... Even though... I was a burden... They PUSHED themselves. They were ALWAYS pushing themselves. They pushed themselves... And in the end... They BROKE... And could never... Go back. They said... They didn't really want me... I'm scared. Haru... I'm scared. I'M SO SCARED... I CAN'T TAKE IT! I'll never forget that feeling, every time I entered my house... That feeling... Of praying with all my heart. Of wondering if they were in a good mood... Or if they still hated me. I told myself I'd wait until it passes. Like a "thing" without feelings. Like a stone. Until the day, someday... When they'll... Forgive me. You will... Forgive me, won't you? We can go back... To the way things were, can't we?

I don't see why it's any of your business. Wait, hold on. Are you saying that I can't sit here? I need your permission all of a sudden? You must think pretty highly of yourself giving orders like that. Ha, everyone bow before King Kyo!

I guess that's just another part of the zodiac curse, for those of us with different colored hair. I used to get more fun of a lot.

That's hurts. What is it? Are you angry now? You think I should just mind my own business, is that it? You made this my business. Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? Or your mother? You know, she's still out here, looking for you, right now!

Quit shoutin' like you're king of the friggin' world. You're makin' my ears bleed, you bastard. Now, I've got some common sense for you! If I wore a tie it wouldn't change who I am, if I had no piercings it wouldn't mean I'm nice, and if my hair was black it wouldn't stop me from kicking your ass. WHO do you think you are, anyway? Do you think you're God, huh?

I'm the one who owes you an apology. I'm the one who failed to protect you. Thank you for everything, Kana. It's alright now. It's over. You don't have to suffer anymore. God, please let her meet someone better than me. Someone who can give her the happiness she deserves. I'll do anything. I'll be snow in a world without spring. Frozen until the day I die. Just please... Please.

Am I just getting what I deserve? Is this my punishment for blindly following orders? For stripping away people's memories, regardless of how much pain it caused? Even so, I never imagined I'd have to erase with my own hands the memories most precious to me from the mind most precious to me.

One more word Shigure and the entire publishing industry will know every embarrassing thing you've done since you were four.

Yeah, is it? Funny how you waltzed right out of here without even putting up a fight, then. You wanted to go from the beginning! You wanted to get away from here. From me! Admit it. That's why you slept with her. It is, right, Shigure? You like her more. You want her more!

Yeah, is it? Funny how you waltzed right out of here without even putting up a fight, then. You wanted to go from the beginning!

If that's the case, then maybe you would like to tell me what is real. It isn't a parent's love! We all know that's not perfect. Plenty of people abandon their children, including members of the Sohma family! Just like you! Ever think of that?! You can't say what's real or fake, what's pretense or worship. No one can define those things. No one! The bond that we share is sacred, you hear me? It's sacred! We will share an eternity together!

If that’s the case, then maybe you would like to tell me what is real. It isn’t a parent’s love! We all know that’s not

She's practically a saint. Or an angel. Or it could be... she's a monster. Come on, she's just a little too perfect and that kind of perfection seems wrong. In fact, one might even say it's monstrous Tonda Honda. Most people would run screaming after seeing you in that form, but she didn't even flinch.

Okay. Fine. Let's make a bet. Before you graduate from high school, prove you can defeat Yuki. Win and I'll stop calling you a monster. I'll even welcome you as a zodiac member. But if you can't beat him... ...then I'll lock you up until the day you die. If you can't beat him, you really are just a piece of filth. As I've always known you to be.

Okay. Fine. Let’s make a bet. Before you graduate from high school, prove you can defeat Yuki. Win and I’ll stop calling you a monster.

I've been wondering. How are things going with that wager we made? Go on, admit it. You can't beat him. And you never will. It's impossible. You should know by now--you were made to be inferior. The Cat was never meant to beat the Rat. And you will never beat Yuki. That's how it's always been. How it always will be. Accept it. Those who are born with a spirit are tied to that spirit's destiny, as I've told you before. This is the fate of your lineage. Kyo, you can't escape it.

What do you really know about the Sohmas? Do you think you understand what it means to be cursed? Do you? I only have a short time to live... Nothing can change that... I alone carry the full weight of the Zodiac Curse. So you see... I do understand. I wonder what it was that everyone expected of you? Did they really think you would be able to miraculously save us, somehow? You deserve this pain... But don't think this will be of it... I'm going to make you regret you were ever involved with us... I will make you suffer the way we suffer.

I don’t believe being weak should be considered a good thing but… I don’t think stronger always means better. You’ve probably heard of ‘survival of the fittest’ in the animal kingdom. The thing is: we’re humans, not animals. That goes for all of us… the Zodiac as well.

I just... Needed to get outside of that place. I've been a little exhausted by it all. 'I just wanted a little escape.' I didn't mean to dump my troubles onto you. I think it's true what they say... Crying unexpectedly, DOES make you feel better. 'without shame... Like a child.' When you get older... You forget about that. It's not easy to have a good cry anymore.

It's just that I'm fighting the pain of lost love. I guess it's what you'd call a rude awakening... or, maybe... the weight of responsibility? But I'm fine. I'm fine. Caring for someone isn't based on logic. You can't really rationalize emotions. Once I think "I like him"... it's all over.

Strangely enough, when you get older, the things you didn't understand when you were a child... start to make sense. "When this happened, I should have done that." "When that happened, I should have said this." Those types of things. You start to understand rather than regret. It may be closer to repentance. So it may be that I do want to repent and erase the ignorant self from my childhood. Maybe that's what they mean when they say adults are selfish.

People aren't born social. Sure it comes easier to some people... but most people, like you, need to work at it. Some more than others. You're just inexperienced. For example, as a martial artist, you have the strength to break the table with your fist. But you also have the self-control to stop your fist right before it hits the table. You weren't born with that control, were you? You had to refine it. It's the same as interacting with people. But training for that isn't in the mountains - it has to be in town where people live. Mingling with people, hurting them, getting hurt by them. That's how you learn about people and about yourself. If you don't, you'll never care about anyone but yourself. You may be a black belt fighter, but you're still a white belt in dealing with people. For the sake of the girl who will one day tell you she loves you... Don't turn away. Keep training.

Don't say that! What's wrong... With being shameless?! Sometimes living can be hard, but it's only because we're alive that we can make each other... Laugh, cry... Be happy! If that's not a reason for being born in this world... I don't know what is!

Mom taught me that people’s differences are something to celebrate. When I thought of all the different shapes of human kindness — imagining them as round or square…I got really excited. Your kindness is like a candle Sohma-kun. I can feel it light up, and I just want to smile. It’s that kind of kindness.

It would be nice to live in a kind world without any fear, without any troubles, without hurting anybody, without ever being hurt; only doing the right thing. I wish I could reach this kind world by the shortest path possible.

The kind who can't lie. And I feel so calm when I'm with him. Even if...he's not as good-looking as Hatori-san. Well I was always in love with him. But it was just one-sided. This is the first time I've been back to the Sohma house in a long time...I wonder if I'll get to see Hatori-san?

The Kyo-kun from back then is also mine alone. Unlike me, he didn’t apologize. He thanked me. Kyo-kun stayed with me until I stopped crying. Kyo-kun, be mine alone. At least until the dawn breaks.

I wanted to thank Honda-senpai. I know it’s none of my business, and I know I’m butting in, but…I’m just so happy that someone like you exists in this world. So if she’s been protecting you, then I’m grateful. After all, even if you really are weak, like a fawn, I think that’s why you were able to notice someone like me. That’s why you talked to me. You’ve been there for me, President. You have no idea how much that means to me…!

Actually, I don’t care “how many” people would notice if I disappeared. If just “one person” noticed, that’s all I’d need. Having “one person” is an incredible thing. After all, it’s totally different than “zero.” I was happy then too. I was so happy, it was almost embarrassing. Out of all the people, she found me. Me alone. And now too, someone other than myself is thinking about me. She’s looking for me. That’s not something I’ll ever take for granted.

It's ridiculous. Something so simple...normal people wouldn't even worry about something like this. They never have to announce what they plan to do. There's no need to be afraid. But...even though I'm a far cry from 'normal,' you've never made fun of me for it. You never gave up on me. You did your very best to support me. To care for me. To keep reachin' out. You really do mean everything to me. That's why...

It's okay. Calm down. Listen. We never asked you to do more than you can handle, and we're not going to. There's a difference between trying your best and trying too hard. When you want help, ask for help. And quit...apologizing for everything!

No one really starts out kind. All we know how to do at first is want. We want food, we want attention… It’s just natural survival instinct, I guess… But kindness is something that we all have to learn as we go. It’s something that grows and develops slowly over time… The same way our bodies do.

We're all born with selfish desires so we can relate to those feelings in others. But kindness is created individually by each person... So it's easy to misunderstand when someone is trying to be kind to you... But Tohru, people's differences are something to celebrate.

You’re cruel. That’s not fair. As if you were never at fault for any of this. You really are a child. And yet…you had that same look in your eyes, as if to say, “I’ll be fine on my own.” It’s beyond irritating. I want to make you pay attention to me. I want to drink up every part of you. Down to your cells…down to the marrow of your bones…I want to leave my mark deep, deep inside you. I want to drink you up, fill you with my scent, until you can’t breathe. This feeling, this desire…is it coming from within me, as a woman?

But Haru…he did want me. They told me they didn’t need me, but there is someone who wanted me. That made me happy. Nothing could have made me happier. I was happy. Thank you. I was glad. But this is enough. Enough, Haru. Next time Haru, you have to be happy. So I’ll release you from me, from Akito, from everything that ties you down. I want to set you free. You know, Haru, your true “happiness” is in a bigger world. I’ll search for it. I’ll find it. Because I’m okay, even if it ends with nothing left in my hands.

He must be lonely. Just like me, his “current self” is lonely. Or else he wouldn’t have been able to say all that. I want to know more. I want to know more about him. But soon, I won’t be able to see him again.

Everyone has desires from the moment they’re born, so that’s easy to understand. But kindness is something that each person has to craft for themselves. It’s easily misinterpreted or taken for hypocrisy. But you, Tohru…I want you to believe. Anyone can doubt. That’s easy. Become the kind of girl who can believe in other people. And I’m sure you will give someone strength.

I want the two of them to be happy together. So happy that it would be obvious I never stood a chance. So happy that I’d know for sure he was way out of my league. (internally) I wanted them to be something I couldn’t reach.

Normally I hate people who whine all the time, but in your case, it would be okay to complain. Be selfish, say what you want once in a while. It's okay to let yourself be sad.

The old dude may not care, but it’s like, I can’t stand seeing that! Like it breaks my heart! And I got no reason, but I break down crying! Right there in the store! That’s right! I cry as I ring him up at the register!

I’m not saying she doesn’t look cute or it’s embarrassing or anything. It’s just…it’s like, the same feeling I get when I see an old man buy his lunch at the convenience store! The old dude may not care, but it’s like, I can’t stand seeing that! Like it breaks my heart! And I got no reason, but I break down crying! Right there in the store! That’s right! I cry as I ring him up at the register!

What should I do? I hate this. I don’t want to die like this. I don’t want to die! Tohru…she’ll be all on her own. I can’t leave her. We can’t part like this. What’s going to happen to her if I’m not there? She just started high school…she’s still a child. She…she’s still…Katsuya. I understand now. Leaving someone behind, being left behind…both of them are heartbreaking, aren’t they? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Tohru. You at least knew I loved you, right? Tohru…I wanted to love you even more. Hey…somebody…anybody, please…protect that girl. She’s not very good at crying for herself, but even so, if she does cry, you have to stay with her. Somebody, please…hey, somebody…She’s my treasure. Protect her…somebody…anybody…

It's true, leaving everyone...will be quite sad. If you left me behind, Kyo-kun...that would be so much worse. I always want to...be by your side. I don't want to be separated from you. I don't want to sit here waiting for you. So please-take me with you.

Akira Sohma...The previous head of the family, and Akito's father. I could even see it as a child. Akira-san...was beautifully fleeting. His doctor had said...that he didn't have long to live. Perhaps it was because that sadness. Perhaps knowing that his life would be extinguished at such a young age...is what produced that otherworldly beauty.

We're not really getting along… She always says I'm… that I'm no good. The things I do are always wrong. She says all these terrible things all the time and says it's for my own good. If I talk back, she only blows up at me… but if I stay quiet… I start to feel like I'm the punching bad. I start to wish… she wasn't around.

Too many to name them all, but all men let their dreams run wild and yearn for that romance. There’s no sin in letting dreams run wild while keeping one foot in reality.

I cried. For the first time in my life, it felt as if I’d been forgiven for something. I felt like I’d been saved. It was as if the breath of spring had melted this freezing clump of snow. My tears wouldn’t stop. The next two months or so went by like a joyous dream.

Kyo Sohma: See what happens when you stand there like a space cadet? Tohru Honda: Oh, uh, was I?

Excuse me, I guess I left the kettle on the stove. Kyo Sohma: Hey ... You've got one too ... I mean, stuck to your back. There's a plum. I...I can see it. Tohru Honda: You can see it? Kyo Sohma: Yeah, but it's really small, like a baby plum. Tohru Honda: Baby plums are delicious! Kyo Sohma: No, it's way, WAY tiny.

What you don’t know, what you don’t understand… You can learn those things starting now. So let’s change, okay? Akito. This is what I wanted to talk to you about before. If you continue to stay in this environment, the “bond” and the “Sohma family” will consume you. You’ll feel empty inside forever. You’ll never be satisfied. You’ve realized it too, haven’t you?

It's the only way I can face myself. You've been protecting her! She was happy, content... True, there might have been small things, but you were a hero. You didn't have any superpowers, but you were beside her... smiling and laughing, right? Do you really think it would be the same if I were beside her? You should realize there are some things that only you can do! So don't make her cry!

It's just...understanding something and actually acting on it are two different things. We humans have a habit of taking something simple... and making it hard. It's annoying, I know.

My friends rejected me...out of nowhere. What was wrong with me? What did I do? I really had no idea. Why? I want to know why. If I did something wrong, I want to apologize. But the rejection got worse, and so did the fear.

I'm so rude. 'If you have trouble with anything...' I don't deserve to have anyone say that to me! 'When you need help, ask for help!' If I asked for help, I would just be...spoiled. Because I haven't done anything yet. I haven't done a single thing. By myself... or starting with myself...I've always just gone with the flow.

To me...she was spring. It was as if while imprisoned inside the dark cage of the inner family...I had completely frozen into snow...and then there she was -- fresh, clear spring. It was almost inevitable that..I would fall in love with her.

…even now someone might be envying another for something they don’t see in themselves. They might be longing for a quality they already possess. When I think of it that way even just a little I realize that I need to do my best with the qualities I have, even if I can’t always see what they are.

Nothing’s changed since then. But him…he’s changed, little by little. […] It looked to me like the more he was treated like a “Prince”, the more the loneliness ate away at him. But now it seems he smiles because he’s actually enjoying himself. He’s changing. I’m positive.

It's not like that...I really have any memories of it...but God and the Zodiacs Spirit made a promise. I'm sure of it. A long time, hundreds of years ago. To be together... ...For eternity. Even if they were reborn several times... They would go his side, and never leave. They would go to see him. They would always... Always...to be together. We Member of the Zodiac are still bound by that promise. Even with no memories of it. The Blood of the Spirits remembers. A bond may look like a beautiful thing from the outside...but if those involved see it as a burden, it's nothing but a shackle. That's why it's a curse.

But just like that...just like that, you melt the ugly emotions inside me, and the muddied anxiety, bit by bit. Why would somebody like you be with me? Why would you cry for me? How could I even ask for that? I sure as hell don't have the right. And yet, this time, I find myself thinking I wanna take care of you, and that I don't wanna leave you. I'm wishing for it.

The idea that everything will be right as rain tomorrow or the day after is a sad lie. The vision of everyone feeling good and beaming with joy is still a far-off dream. But, no matter how many years or decades it takes...I want to reach that goal. I want to keep working at it, without giving up.

My heart was breaking on my way home that day. I was crying ugly tears because I could feel it yet again...the feeling of something fading away. Fading away into 'memories.' And even if I don't forget the loneliness and sorrow that tore me apart...the memories themselves are fading, too. No matter how much I try to hold on...no matter how many times I swear it to myself...time moves on, and they begin to fade. It's cruel.

Fading away into ‘memories.’ And even if I don’t forget the loneliness and sorrow that tore me apart…the memories themselves are fading, too. No matter how much I try to hold on…no matter how many times I swear it to myself…time moves on, and they begin to fade. It’s cruel.

Tohru Honda: Shigure is always smiling. But, I wonder if I gave him some problems with my request. Yuki Sohma: The only ones who can truly understand what Shigure is thinking is Hatori and... a few other people. Someone has said this before. It is said that he is like a "tide..." A tide that carries you away when you get too close to it. The tide touches your feet... But when you reach down to touch it, it will have already departed. It is within your reach, yet you may never catch it...

I can't get the words out. I have to gather my courage. Courage...it's time to be brave. I'm not going to put the lid back on. This feeling...can't be stopped anymore. It's time to be brave.

If only we’d been born into a kind world...without anxiety...without fear. If we could live without hurting other people...and without being hurt. A world in which we always did what was right. If only we could have found a shortcut to the kind world we all hope for.

Don't hate me. Tell me...everything's okay. I was always so ashamed. I was ashamed of my weakness. But...I want you to say it. Just once...even if it's a lie. I know it will give me the courage...to try and become strong.

For every child who wants to be accepted wholly and loved unconditionally, there are others who simply want to be accepted for who they are, even if they receive only a fraction of love. I don't think one cancels out the other. I don't believe that there is any right or wrong... we simply coexist.

Ritsu Sohma: Please, Onii-san, please write with takoyaki power! Mitsuru: Yes, sensei! With ikyayaki or takoyaki or whatever it takes! Write quickly, without hesitation! Ah... Um... W-what is takoyaki power? Ritsu Sohma: Well, that is--! When Shigure-niisan eats takoyaki, he transforms into a great warrior... Shigure Sohma: No I don't.

In front of Shiki-kun, it seems as if I'm an extremely nice person. It makes me want to spill everything… that I'm not a good person at all. No- it makes me want to hide it forever. Part of me wants to jump up and down in happiness… and part of me wants to yell at myself and say this isn't right. With those two feelings together, I just end up confused.

If maybe… I have managed to change just a bit… It's because I found people who accept me. They see what I'm doing, and when it's good, they tell me so. They don't just tell me this is bad, or that's no good. Not all of it is negative. That makes me happy. And because I'm happy… I begin to feel like I can keep trying.

I want someone too. Not a person I put up on a pedestal, but someone who’s on my level. Someone I need and who needs me back…feeling secure when I go to sleep and being accepted, they’re not enough. I want to give. I want to give something that only I can give. I want to take all of the encouragement, kindness, and warmth you gave to me and set out once more. I don’t want to lose to the darkness. I want to have faith and move forward. This time for sure, I won’t waste what you’ve given to me. I want to find it. My own proof that I’m alive.

Thank you for finding me. Even I had abandoned the me from that day by forgetting. But you kept her in your memory. Thank you.

There are so many things I can never get back. So much pain. So many tears. So, so much. I've had things stolen from me. I've been hurt. It feels so unbelievably unfair. I can never, ever forgive her. But even so… I'm tired of always looking down and missing what's important.

Ayame Sohma: In fact, perhaps it would be easier if we just discussed me instead. Yuki Sohma: What would be the point in that? Ayame Sohma: Oh, in that case, I should be prepared to talk about why I chose this lyrical professional overflowing with fantasy! It's because I wanted to create something. Even I, who have a charisma that wafts of noble refinement, have times when I lose confidence! And so I had this uncontrollable urge to try making something. Anything, it didn't matter what. It just so happened that dress-making suited me best.... I just wanted to make sure that I had the power to make something. Maybe I wanted to know if I could create something with my own hands. If there could be something that couldn't exist without me.

I won’t get to hear you say, “Welcome home,” to me anymore, will I, Honda-san? But…but I’m happy for you too. The “me” who’s arrived at this point is happy for you. I…I was always…so weak. I wasn’t good at making connections with other people, but I wanted to be loved. I wanted to be needed. I yearned for those things…and then, one day, you came into my life. You made those dreams come true. You granted my wishes without asking for anything in return. You gave me so much. And it’s because of that that I can stand in front of you here today. You helped me become a full-fledged “human being.” You helped me grow as a person. You…were like a mother to me. I was finally able to tell you that. I know my true feelings are a little on the embarrassing side…but, you know, it’s the same for them too, I think. Your presence is so warm and kind…so even though we’re all going our separate ways now, starting new lives in new places, every so often, we’ll still think of you. “Is she doing well? She’s not crying, is she? Is she smiling even now? Is she happy today too?” That’s how we’ll always think of you. Thank you…I’m so glad I met you. I’m so glad you were here... Thank you, thank you, thank you... Tohru.

You have to live with it. Even if they’re hopeless, or if you’re appalled by them, or angry with them…children can’t switch their parents. Just like parents can’t switch their children. There’s no ‘reset’ button…so…you have to deal with what you’ve got.

I say...I want to protect all members of the Zodiac. That I want to set them free...But that's just...a lie I've been telling myself...! I've been hiding from...my true feelings. Hiding from the truth...like a coward...I...I...just...don't want...anyone or anything...not the Sohma Family...or the Curse...to take Kyo-kun away from me! Because Kyo-kun...is the most precious person in my life!

My mom said that when you become a parent you understand for the first time what a parent feels. But…but what you really need to understand what you really shouldn’t forget is what you felt like as a child. The first time you did a somersault, the first time someone got really mad at you…If you can really remember how you felt when you were a child even when you’re an adult or a parent, then you can understand each other. Even if it’s not 100% you can meet each other half-way…she said. Because thinking that way reminds you that life is fun.

I, on the other hand......I was born in the Sohma Compound and have lived here all my life. Life outside these walls...is a complete mystery to me......but I...now that I've...reached this age, it's too late. I've spent...forty years...fifty years...sixty years...building my life here.

You're a member of the Zodiac -- one who was born and lives for Akito-san. How dare you betray him! Where do your loyalties lie? Surely you don't think that girl should win?! That awful...disgraceful...whore! You Members of the Zodiac exist only for Akito-san. You must live for him... and die for him. Without Akito-san... You would all be monsters like that wretched Cat!

Hatori-san, you will please refrain from going out so often. Something might happen. If you cared anything for the feelings of Akito-san, who trusts you above anyone...You would always be by his side.

Because that is the Cat's "Role". All of us are monsters. Miserable, Misshapen creatures. Don't tell me you think we're happy like this? That we enjoy being freaks? Do you know how many handicaps we have, how much pain we go through, just to survive within the framework of this world...? Do you? To us, the existence of the Cat is our salvation. Without him, our lives would be completely unbearable. You see-that monster is the ugliest of us all. He's inferior to us all. So it's only natural for him to be discriminated against, disrespected, and locked up. The rest of us look at the way he's treated-and we signed with relief. "Thank God," We think. "At least I'm better off than that." You should ask the others sometimes. "Did you know he was going to be confined? Deep down, don't you feel superior to him?" They won't know what to say. The Cat was prepared as an outcast creature...for our sakes. And Kyo...knows that too-.

If you don't make Kyo-kun his own chance...he's going to be locked away. That's right. We already know about that. Kyo-kun doesn't have much longer, does he? The entire Zodiacs knows. But we won't do or say anything about it. We silently consent-or, really, we pretend not to think about it.

You're trying to find it, aren't you? I'm sure that inside your heart… you’re trying with all you might to find it on your own… the reason you were born. Because… because really… there might not be anyone who was born with a reason. I think that everyone might have to find one on their own. [in her head] A reason for being born… A reason that it’s okay to be alive… A reason to exist. [aloud] I think everyone might have to find it themselves… and decide for themselves. It could be your dreams… your job… or a person. …The reason you’re looking for… might be vague, unclear… and uncertain. [in her head] And you might lose it. [aloud] But as long as you’re alive…you have to keep searching for that reason. I'm searching too. And if I can... If I can, I want to find my reason... In someone else.

We’re searching for a reason of existence. With our own strength, because maybe the truth is that there’s no reason for life from the very beginning. Everyone hopes and tries so hard to find a reason of existence. The reason of birth, of staying with someone, of existence, believing we have to find them all with our own hands. Like finding a place for ourselves in dreams, in jobs, in people. The reasons we conclude may be indefinite and fragile. We may lose it too, but even so, we want a reason. As long as I’m alive, I want it too. If possible, I want to find a reason of existence within a person, within someone.

In a nutshell...I'm The Dog. Yuki's s The Rat. Kyo Sohma is The Cat. We're possessed by their vengeful spirits. And there are ten others in the Sohma Family who are also possessed. Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake...Horse, Sheep Rooster, and Boar. Yes just like The Chinese Zodiac. For hundreds of years, the Sohma Family...has been possessed by twelve vengeful spirits that correspond to the Zodiac. We don't have any special powers or anything -- Well we can communicate with our respective animals...but when our bodies are weak, and, for some reason, when hugged by someone of the opposite gender, we transform. After some time, we change back into humans. But then we're completely naked.

I’m scared…I’m scared. Did I – did I use my power again? Please no…I’m scared. (aloud) Don’t. You mustn’t come near me. I apologize for not telling you. So…please stay away from me. I really do have powers, and I really did almost kill someone. So…stay away. (internally) A sin that can’t be forgotten, a stain that can’t be washed away…I don’t want to hurt anyone again. I should be shunned. That’s what I deserve.

You two were oddballs, even back then. I could hear your inner voices once in a while, and they weren’t all sweetness and light. You both had small, secret voices tucked away, voices that were softly crying. And yet, your warm mood never wavered.

I wonder why I can hear the voices within people’s hearts, both family members and strangers. I wonder why I can convey my thoughts without realizing it. Nobody knows, not even me. I was born with abilities. Strange abilities…but even so, my family…they are so kind. Their words are so nice. I don’t want to cause them problems because of my powers. That’s why I do everything I can not to reveal them to other people.

I want to get my act together. And I want to stop needing to dress like a woman. But I just don’t have the confidence. So, that’s why I’m hopeless. (internally) My heart aches. It’s not like my parents would want to apologize all the time. I’m sure they wanted to have a child they didn’t have to bow for. A child who would make them proud. I’m sorry. (aloud) Maybe I shouldn’t even exist. I’m sure there’s no good reason that I was born. And yet I’m still alive. I really have some nerve.

Why? Why do I always cause trouble for everyone around me? I cause problems for everyone! Why was I even put on this earth? Maybe…maybe someone like me isn’t meant to be in this world at all, but I don’t even have the guts to end it. That’s right. Even though I’m totally useless, I shamelessly take up space and oxygen on this planet! I can’t stand myself!

If that's really true...then prove it...! You think they can see go the outside world...see all its charms and wonders...and still agree to return, bound to your gloomy old self for "Eternity"? Do you honestly believe that!? Then prove it! Prove that no one can destory your delusional dreams...and you'll beat me! However...If you lose...You will kneel before me...and leave the Sohma Family forever.

Everyone… laughed. While they laughed I closed my eyes…and thought about the traveler. I thought about the traveler who was tricked into being nothing but a crying head saying, ‘thank you.’ and…I thought…how…lucky…he was. Loss…suffering…its pointless to think about them. The traveler didnt think about them.That might be stupid to some people…but it’s not stupid to me. That I won’t trick anyone, even if other people think that person deserves it. I just want to make them happy.

The traveler didnt think about them.That might be stupid to some people…but it’s not stupid to me. That I won’t trick anyone, even if other people think that person deserves it. I just want to make them happy.

Did someone break your heart, Arisa-san…? […] There are some things that take a long time to acquire, like friends or lovers. So it wasn’t for nothing.

There are times when true love will be a source of pain, and one that you must accept. Because to truly love someone, is to put their feelings before your own, no matter what. Keep putting yourself first, and you will only succeed in pushing them away.

Five to ten years was an exaggeration, but a little more time would pass before I cut my hair short, he started calling me just “Mayu” again, and just the two of us would go out on days when the weather was nice.

I don’t care! I don’t care. I don’t care anymore. Help him. Please free this man. I pray, with my huge ego, for him to be happy!

What do you mean? Hatori-kun, how could you say that? I don’t believe it! Look at how blue the sky is! Look at that water sparkle! Everyone is laughing and having a good time…so it can’t be true, Hatori-kun, this idea that you and happiness don’t belong together! It can’t be true! I won’t believe it! I won’t believe in anything!

Maybe I should try to find my own happiness too. Will I be able to find it? This time I’ll make sure it doesn’t cause me more loneliness. This time for sure.

Like drops of rain, bit by bit, his smile would spread across his face. I loved that. His voice, his eyes, his looks, his entire being…I loved all of him. Even though he would never know, even though it was pointless to have feelings for him, and I would’ve been better off forgetting about him altogether…

Y-yes…they…scare me…(internally) “You must be perfect. Perfect at all times. A perfect personality, a perfect academic record…otherwise you’ll never be able to beat that woman’s son. Your own father will reject you.” I was always so nervous. I’d be punished for anything short of perfection. I was already walking a tightrope, but it just kept getting thinner and thinner. (aloud) It feels like I’m under siege. It feels like I’m suffocating. Even so, there were times when I was desperate to live up to her expectations. But now there’s my little brother, so I…

The two of them didn’t say anything, but I could tell right away that they were together. Even though I knew, just like that, what a fool I was. Why did I have to have feelings for him? Love at first sight sounds romantic, but it was just a case of coveting my best friend’s boyfriend.

I never thought I’d be praised. I never thought that day would come. I’m imperfect, warped, defective…and yet here is someone who’s praising me.

You came here to ask about what my classmates were saying? Believe what you want. You can believe them or not. (internally) I don’t care. No one, not even my parents, believes me. There’s nothing I can do or say now to change anyone’s mind. So I don’t care anymore.

I’m always “empty”. My existence is empty. There’s nothing here. I’m a doll with missing parts. A broken doll that can’t become human. Defective merchandise. […] Am I needed? Is my existence required? Does this world need me?

“A bore”…? “I” am “a bore.” That’s exactly it. My favorite color, my favorite place…I don’t even know where to start. That’s never been part of the equation. I spent so long trying to be what they expected of me, but was abandoned all the same. Leaving me with nothing but this empty-shell self. A meaningless existence.

Even though spring is almost here, it’s snowing. I hate when the snow piles up. The white snow that smooths over everything. The “perfection” of that white expanse…I hate it.

Looks like this is goodbye. Please…let Tohru have a happy life. Please let her be loved by many people. Even if she gets lost, even if she makes mistakes, in the end, let her have a life she can be proud of. The kind of life that’ll make people say, “You did your best.” Joyous times, sad times…the cycle repeating itself, again and again. That’s how I want her to grow older.

Please…even if you’ve forgotten all about me…if you meet her, please remember. The next time she gets lost, I want you to find her. Please…even just once would be fine…(aloud) You…(internally) You have to keep your promise, or…(aloud) I’ll never forgive you…(internally) Please…please…I’m begging you…please do what I can’t any longer…protect her!

It was a lie. The truth is that this world doesn’t need anyone. It doesn’t need parents, teachers, the people we look up to, children, or adults. The world doesn’t need me, or Katsuya. The world doesn’t need any of us. The world doesn’t care who lives or dies. The sun rises just the same. The world doesn’t give a damn about anybody…and that’s so sad. In the end, we’re all alone. I’m sure that’s why we seek each other out. We want to need and be needed. We want to meet someone who needs us.

Why is a new day dawning? Why do they look like they’re having so much fun? Why is the TV telling me about tomorrow’s weather? Why didn’t the world end the day Katsuya died?

I don’t have the courage to bear a child. I’m thrilled to carry your child, Katsuya, but…children are human beings, right? Do I even have the right to give birth to another human being…? I haven’t lived a decent life by any standard, I know that. So I don’t know if I can give birth to another human being. If I’m fit to raise another human being. What if I can’t…? What if they’re unhappy because of me…? If they’re bullied because of me? What if they get hurt or cry? What if they tell me they wish they’d never been born?

It’s everything…everything! Everything pisses me off! Them! And them! And them! And you! Everything, everything…all of you! I fricking hate all of you! You all treat me like garbage, when all of you are the real scumbags! When you’re no better than me! I wish you’d all just leave me alone. I wish you’d all die! Die…! Die! Go to hell! You should vanish! You should break!

People need other people, in my opinion. No matter how much other people abuse you, no matter how much despair you feel, and no matter how much your family loves you, we all want other people to accept us. And as for us parents, if our children are happy, that’s really all that matters. So even if you girls set out on different paths someday, you should never feel like you’re lonely or selfish. Because there are some things that last forever.

There’s a feeling you can’t understand unless you get hurt and cause trouble. There’s also a feeling you won’t get unless you hit rock bottom. You rebel against the ideals of life, but then everything goes bad, and for the first time, you find yourself yearning for those ideals. Pain would mean nothing without kindness. Darkness can’t stand out without the sun. Neither is something to scoff at. Both sides of the equation have meaning. So even if you stumble and make mistakes, it isn’t for nothing. If you think to yourself, “I won’t let this be for nothing!” it’ll turn into something that will help you grow.

I couldn’t forsake him. I couldn’t…to Akito, the bond with the members of the Zodiac is “everything.” God can’t exist without the Zodiac. So I made a vow on the day the curse was lifted from me. I swore that I would stay by his side. If that was what it took to dry Akito’s tears, if tricking the other members by pretending to still be possessed would stop that child’s tears, then that’s what I would do. There was nothing else to think about.

I want to see her so much, but – and I know it was only twice – but she was still my first…my first time since becoming a “human being” that I, myself, thought I could fall in love with someone of my own free will. The truth is, we could embrace as much as we liked. I’m no longer possessed. I alone was freed so easily from the curse that everyone else is still suffering under. I alone am free. I could go anywhere I please. I could love whomever I wish. But that’s exactly why I have to…I have to stay with Akito.

I’m not like the others anymore. I no longer transform. My curse has already been broken. It happened years ago. I was a little younger than you are now. So I’m no longer a member of the Zodiac. I can’t fly anymore.

If there is anything you can do, it may just be to smile for them. Because when you smile, the world seems just a little kinder. For you to just be yourself is a very important thing, I think.

To learn something, you have to hurt something. If that’s the way it’s gotta be for a while yet, then at least I want to be kind. I want to make amends. I want to repay them for all the times they’ve smiled at me.

I see…so that’s what being alone feels like. (internally) I wanted to see things from her perspective. I wanted to understand, even if only a little. After all, if I couldn’t, what would be the point of being with her?

If you’re gonna half-ass being nice and encouraging someone, then it’d actually be kinder to leave them alone from the start. And another thing – if someone’s being nasty to you, you should sass them right back. Just standing there and taking it means it’s partially your fault too.

Indeed I do [have a girlfriend]. She’s super cute. I’m crazy about her. So I’m not interested in Honda-san in a romantic sense. She’s on my mind for a different reason. But it concerns more than just me, so I’d like to put off telling you for just a little longer. That okay?

Huh…I’m surprised. I see, you’re actually an interesting guy! Sorry if I pissed you off. I’m an idiot at heart, so it tends to happen a lot. Don’t let that get in the way of us becoming friends! Thanks for seeing me off! Next time, let’s really sit down and talk!

Well, I was lured in by the phrase “Academy Defense Force”! You know! Another name for a student council is “Academy Defense Force”! And I’m into sentai shows! So if we’re a superhero team like that, each member should have their own color, right? That’s why I call dibs on black!

Leave me alone…! This is why I didn’t want to be near her. She’s the kind of girl who makes me feel this way. That time too…I wanted to break down and cry. I wanted to run over to her, put my head on her lap, and trust her with my heart, like a child who goes crying home to her mother. I want to complain to her about how unfair this all is, about how weak I am. And I have a feeling she would let me. I think she would accept me. But I can’t do that to her. She doesn’t deserve that. People like me cling to kind people. We seek them out. We leech them dry. That’s why I won’t involve anyone else in this. It’s better if I go it alone. I’ll keep running alone. Nobody has to understand me. It’s easier if they hate me. It’s better if I’m all alone. That’s what I decided, and I intend to stick with it. I decided I wouldn’t cry…

Are you talking about what I said back then!? Forget that…that was just me taking my own guilt out on you. But…I do know that she was suffering. Haru-nii…Rin…Rin was…pushed off a second story balcony by Akito. Those major injuries weren’t from an accident. Akito found out you were seeing Rin, and he…he…[…] Akito…Kisa…that time when Akito hit you…it was my fault. I made Akito angry, and he took it out on you. He…hurt you. I’ve wanted to apologize all this time. I’m so sorry. Haru-nii, you too. I’m sorry. In both cases, I was told to keep my mouth shut, so I didn’t say a word. So if you’re angry with me, I understand…Rin is trying to break the curse…! She’s trying so hard, all to set you free from Akito…and from herself. That’s why she broke up with you. You need to tell her, “It’s okay now.” If she keeps it up, Rin’s mind and body will give out. She’ll end up suffering alone forever…

When I look at Hinata, I feel like an idiot. It’s like – here’s a life right in front of me, and she doesn’t know the difference yet between right and wrong. A totally innocent life before my very eyes. And yet here I am, so preoccupied with vanity and fear. So looking at her makes me feel small and stupid. I want to become stronger than that. I want to become a protector.

I know sentiments can make you idealize another person…I know that, but I swear, to me, she was “spring.” If I was snow that had been frozen over the years, caged up in the darkness of this house, she was the fresh, vivacious spring.

I recommend you leave that house and have nothing more to do with the Sohma family. Shigure being who he is, I’m sure he left you in the dark. You see, the Sohma family continues to be possessed by vengeful spirits. We’re not the jolly bunch you probably imagine. We are bizarre, devious, and cursed. Before you regret getting involved with this family, get out now. Akito is attempting to use you.

Maybe she did bring you into the world and raise you. But just 'cos she's your "family" doesn't mean it's okay for her to do or say whatever she wants. It's never okay. Expecting someone to smile and say thank you to their family, when that "family" is just stepping all over them - that's just abuse. It's just a curse.

I want to be Tohru’s best friend. I want to be a best friend that Tohru can be proud of! (internally) That’s what made me want to change. That thought still spurs me on. When I look back now, it’s a little embarrassing. Getting carried on her back, blubbering like a little kid, but it wasn’t for nothing. […] It really is great when you’re not alone. I made it to second year of middle school, met Hanajima, and life became even more fun. I think Kyoko-san was enjoying it as much as we were. But then…her death…that’s a lie, isn’t it? The darkened windows of that apartment – that’s a lie too, right? I loved her. She owed this brat nothing, and yet came to my rescue. She was a softie, but straightforward, and warmer than anyone I’ve ever known. I loved her.

I want to be Tohru’s best friend. I want to be a best friend that Tohru can be proud of! (internally) That’s what made me want to change. That thought still spurs me on. When I look back now, it’s a little embarrassing. Getting carried on her back, blubbering like a little kid, but it wasn’t for nothing. […] It really is great when you’re not alone. I made it to second year of middle school, met Hanajima, and life became even more fun. I think Kyoko-san was enjoying it as much as we were. But then…her death…that’s a lie, isn’t it? The darkened windows of that apartment – that’s a lie too, right? I loved her. She owed this brat nothing, and yet came to my rescue. She was a softie, but straightforward, and warmer than anyone I’ve ever known. I loved her.

Why am I so pissed off? Feels like something urging me to do…what? But also like I got left behind. What the hell is this vague irritation? Maybe because I was in the middle of all that sickly sweet cheeriness? Yeesh. “Make yourself at home.” Yeah, right. […] This is where I belong. A place where I can fall as far as I want.

I can’t see Kyoko-san ever again, but she left a lot behind for me. Her words, her feelings…and Tohru. All of them are things that will help me grow.

Be happy I’m only shaming you, little girl. If you just want to strut your stuff, there are lots of other ways to do it. So stop trying to stir up trouble like this, before it gets out of hand. If it’s just a scolding that you need, then come see me any time.

No… don’t leave! Don’t leave me behind! Why!? I’m scared! No! I don’t like this! I hate this world! I hate this! It’s not my fault! And it’s too late…even if I realize the truth now, it’s too late…! I can’t survive in a world like this! I don’t want to, not after everything…no “promises”, no “bond”, no “eternity”, living on the “outside”…the very idea terrifies me. I’m scared…I’m so scared! Who will love me? There’s no guarantee! Surrounded by strangers…I can’t live like that. I just can’t…

Are you happy now…? You’ve won. You’ve stolen the place where I belong. You’ve turned me into an “outsider.” They all love you best now. Are you happy now…!? Thanks to you, I’m all alone! A waste of space! The bad guy! Are you satisfied!?

Remember this, Tohru-san. In the end...they'll all come back to me. Because...we cannot be apart. So stop...trying to destroy our "happiness". Stay out of it. Be a good girl. Otherwise...you'll be punished.

Don't get conceited...you little bitch. If you think you can "save" Yuki or Kyo...you should be ashamed of your arrogance. Let me tell you... I'll tell you the truth. Kyo...will be confined just as soon as he leaves high school. Just like the previous Cat before him for his whole life until he dies. And Yuki...will return to the family compound...with me. All of them...will live and die with me. All of the Juunishi will live...in the same home, following the path. No one comes in...no one will be stolen away. Always remaining the same. A happy future. An endless banquet. Unchanging. And I won't...let you join us!

Ritsu Sohma: I’m a complete failure. At everything I do, I’m absolutely worthless. I know this, and yet I continue to burden the human race with my presence. Every day I rob the world of valuable air by breathing. I’m a thief, and I hate myself for it. I don’t deserve to exist. But even though I know it’s the right thing to do, I’m such a useless coward. I don’t even have the courage to jump! Tohru Honda: No, don’t! Don’t jump! It’s okay that you don’t have that kind of courage. The important thing is you’re alive. And life hurts sometimes and sometimes it can be hard, but it won’t always be that way. There’s gotta be a reason for you to live.

You said before that you hate it here. Well, I don’t believe thats true. You don’t hate it… but you’re afraid to face what you know you must. So instead… you run away. The air that you said was smothering… you know it can also heal you. But you refuse to let it. You refuse to let anyone see you for your true self. You’re too afraid of what you might lose. You’re running away because you’re afraid to admit your feelings even to yourself.

That day… I watched Tohru pick up my scattered beads. I couldn’t find any words to say. Among other things, they were proof of the monster I’d been. I thought I wouldn’t have minded just leaving them to rot. But at the same time… I had this feeling that someday down the line, I might regret not picking them up. Even so, I couldn’t move. So, she picked ‘em up instead. It felt like she was protecting both the present and future me. Or maybe… it was even more than that. Maybe she wanted to protect something bigger. Maybe she was trying to save all those feelings from far away… of every poor soul who had to wear a string of prayer beads just so they could live their lives.

That day… when I pulled my beads apart… I watched quietly.. as Tohru picked them all up. It was proof that I was a monster. Even now, I wouldn’t mind if she threw them into a fire. But after a few years.. maybe I’d grow to regret not having picked them up. I honestly thought that at the time. But I still couldn’t move. She picked them up for me. And it was like she was protecting… both the me of now and the me of the future. Or even… something more distant. Something beyond me. Maybe she was trying to pick up the far off feelings.. of all those people who lived with those beads on. Every last one. I don’t really know. I do know one thing. I know.. that “loving” someone.. isn’t just always loving what’s right in front of you. There’s also the past… and the future. Loving someone means embracing it all.

Listen Tohru-kun, if thinking about something makes you anxious, the best thing you can do is stop thinking about it! It’s like this: Imagine you’re in the middle of a mountainous pile of laundry, so much laundry that you can’t even take one step. On top of that, you don’t have a washing machine, so everything has to be washed by hand, one at a time. You don’t know where to start. “Can I really wash everything? Can I make everything clean again? Can I make everyone happy?” You wonder if you have what it takes to accomplish this task. But every time you think about it, you get stressed out. Still, time is marching on. What should you do? Maybe you should start by washing the laundry at your feet first. It is important to think about what lies ahead, but if you only focus on that, you’ll trip over the laundry at your feet, right? So it’s also important to think about what you can do right now, today. If you do that, washing one piece of laundry at a time, before you know it, the sun will be out, beaming down on you. And sure, you’ll still feel anxiety from time to time, but when that happens, take a little break. Go read a book, watch some TV, or eat somen with everyone.

I don’t think there are any memories that are okay to forget. None. I think…. I want to live with all my memories. Even if they’re sad memories. Even if their memories that only hurt me.

I hate this fear. I hate this. I hate this world. I hate it that nobody needs me. I don’t own this world. I’ve had enough. It’s not supposed to be my fault. Only now.. Only now that I realized..

Scared that there’s no guarantee that I’ll be loved. You can’t be living with people surrounding you forever. You just cant. The world is too scary.

True kindness isn't something we're born with. It's something we have to work at. Not everyone has it. But I think everyone has the potential. Sometimes you just have to look really close before you can tell it's there.

They say that we should love ourselves first, before other people learn to love us, but it's not as easy as it seems. Sometimes, we need someone to accept us and love us first, then we would learn to see ourselves through that person's eyes and learn to love our-self.

I… There was a time when I stopped talking. Just like you. My reasons were a little bit different, but I think the feelings of being ashamed of myself and hating myself are the same. Here, it says to “like yourself.” What does that mean? Good things - how are you supposed to find them? I only know things that I hate about myself. Because that’s all I know, I hate myself. But even if you force yourself to find good things, it feels so empty. It doesn’t work that way. People like your teacher just don’t get it. I think when you hear someone say they like you, for the first time, then you can begin to like yourself. I think when someone accepts you, for the first time, you feel like you can forgive yourself a little. You can begin to face your fears with courage.

It’s not always easy to see the good in people. In some people, you might even doubt that it’s there at all. But if you can somehow, find a way to believe…sometimes that’s all it takes to help someone, to give them the strength to find the good in themselves.
