Part 128: February 15 - March 20 Part 1: The End Approaches

> After getting some rest, you have managed to recover your health. A soft light is pouring in from outside...You should hurry to school...


Good morning.
The weather's great today. It's even a little warm, don't you think?
I saw on the news that the first official spring storm was observed this morning.
Spring is...just around the corner, huh.
Spring, huh...Everything went by so fast.


Oh...Nothing. We're just talking about how spring's almost here.
Then Sanzo-kun will...
Ahhh...Yeah. I try not to think about it.
But hey, we still have some time, right? No gloomy faces until then!
Thanks.
Heheh, cut that out. We're gonna pack your brain so full of good memories that you'll beg us to stop.
Morning bell: *DING DONG*
Oh, shoot!
Let's go, man!



-Corner of Memory-





And so, the days run away.























> You have finished packing. You will be returning to the city in two days...You decide to rest for today...





> Spring has once again come to Inaba.



> Dojima residence...

-New Days-

> Tomorrow is finally the day you will part with everyone...


Doorbell: *BING BONG*
Can I go answer the door?
Oh yeah...That's right. Sure, go answer it. There's nothing to worry about anymore.


I already bought your train ticket for tomorrow. It leaves at nine o'clock in the morning from Yasoinaba Station. Today's your last day here...Don't worry about Nanako. You can leave her to me.
Go see your friends. This might be your last chance to talk to them.

> This is the last day you will be spending in this town. You should wander around for a while...



-PML: Memories of You-




I was gonna go see you later.
I came to see you.
Hahaha, really? Then...are you free right now?


You stopped me when I was thinking about jumping off. Thinking back on it, that was pretty dumb...I really need to thank you, Sanzo. You stopped me, and you listened. Thank you...I'm glad I was able to tell you that before you left.
I...I felt terrible after you rejected me...But since you'll be going away, I had to find the courage to tell you...
...I'll always remember the time I spent with you fondly...Thank you. I've been thinking about the future lately. Not so much about college, or jobs, or anything like that...But that I want to become a nicer person.
D-Does that sound like a weird goal?
Good for you.
I knew you'd understand. I'm...I'm glad I met you.
I don't know what I'd be like if I hadn't...
Maybe I'd be totally into that Midnight Channel. Oh, and spreading a bunch of rumors, too. Ahaha, I could never see that happening to me now...I must have went through a pretty drastic change.

> Ai has a beaming smile on her face...You feel a close bond between Ai and yourself...

End of conversation! It made me sooo nervous, saying all that. I've never done it before...
Why don't you go say goodbye to your other friends? I'm sure they're waiting for you. I think I'll head home. My extra class is over.
No, I'm not gonna say goodbye! I'll see you later, Sanzo!


Oh, that's right. You're leaving tomorrow...Saying goodbye to your teachers?
Not really.
Having a last look at the school, huh?...Can I come with you?


Well...Not that I'm disappointed. It's just that...for me to remain here, without you or a case to solve...
I feel somewhat...listless. I know this sounds awkward, since we've already discussed it before and came to a satisfactory conclusion...that the reason for me being here has nothing to do with the case...Perhaps it's just your departure that's making me lonely.
I'm sorry. I'm making trouble for you.
I appreciate it, though.
I told myself many times that nothing will change, even if we're apart...But I couldn't convince myself of that after all.
I'll remain here in Inaba, Senpai. Of course, from time to time, my services will be required elsewhere...
But Inaba is my hometown now. I want to treasure the precious time I've spent with you, solving the case together.
The Midnight Channel, Personas, Ameno-sagiri...My duty is to stay here and get to the bottom of these mysteries...
...To be honest, the thought of it makes me a bit lonely...
Please don't forget your time here.

> You feel a solid bond between you and Naoto...

I'll be at the station tomorrow with the others...So this is our last chance to talk, just the two of us...
...No, of course it won't be. I can go visit you anytime, and vice versa.
Senpai...don't you have other farewells to say? Don't worry about me...I'll be fine.
I'll see you tomorrow!



> Yasogami High music room...Ayane is playing her trombone...


C-Can you hold on for a second? This place is a mess!
The band met to practice for their performance at the entrance ceremony coming up...
...I decided not to call you, Sanzo-senpai.
Why'd you do that?
Because...you're leaving tomorrow...I didn't want to bother you if you were busy packing...B-Besides, I might have cried if I saw you there...
But anyway, isn't it great that all the fog is gone? I was worried that you'd leave with a bad impression of the town, since it's been so foggy ever since you got here...I'm happy that it's bright and sunny on your last day! Hopefully it won't be all foggy tomorrow...Just kidding!
......
I've got something I want to tell you, Senpai. After I graduate, I'm thinking about doing a study abroad program in music!
The more I practice, the more fascinated with music I get...I was always trying to play better than I played before. But that's...not what music is about. It's about how you express it. So I tried to express myself through music...But you know what I realized? I had no feelings to put into it.
I couldn't stand it...But I meant it when I handed you that ticket. So I tried to face it head-on, and I practiced a lot...
Then, I started to understand...that every day is a fight against yourself. People fight against the person we were yesterday to become a better person today. Ever since I realized that...I figured I'd be playing music for the rest of my life.
Senpai, I'll probably be halfway around the world two years from now. I-I won't cry when you leave...It'll be like practicing for when I say goodbye to this place. We'll be separated...but...
...Senpai, you'll always be someone special to me.
My parents gave me their blessing when I told them I wanted to study abroad. They said I'd been stubborn ever since I was born, and that nothing they could say would change my mind anyway...
*giggle* And here I was thinking I had no personality. I guess it's true that your parents know you best. Senpai...I wish you the best of luck over there. Please come see me and wish me luck, when it's my turn to leave...

> Ayane said her goodbye to you with a quiver in her voice...You feel a close bond between Ayane and yourself...

...Good-bye, Senpai...


My, my! What a coincidence. We really are connected by fate. *chuckle* Shall we talk like old times?
Sure.
Goodness, I'm so happy.


Next thing I know, here you are. There's a surprise. I live with one of my kids and my grandchild now. They're all so kind...I just realized that I almost never talked about my kids with you.
I probably distanced myself from the rest of my family...I was afraid that if I didn't, I was going to depend on them...
They're living their own lives; I didn't want to be a burden on them. So I wanted them to forget about me...to treat me as if I was dead. But they welcomed me...and now we live together. They take care of me, but I'm taking care of my grandson. *chuckle* So there's a little bit of give-and-take there.
There really is a place in the world where I belong. I'd just assumed that there wasn't one. They're my children...my family. I regret that I didn't talk with them before. My husband's death must have been sad for them, too. After all, they lost their father...
Are you happy now?
Yes, very much so...
I'm so happy right now, but because of that, I feel sad every now and then. I can't help but think, "He must have wanted to feel this happiness, too..."
So I've decided that the best thing I can do is live a long, happy life. I'll make the rest of my life as great as it can be...And then I'll tell my husband about it when I see him again. Then, we'll have all of eternity to be happy together. I'm not afraid anymore. Just...a little lonely. *chuckle* I'll also have to tell him everything that happened in town, too. About this whole crazy year, those awful murders, and how the police solved the case. I'll definitely have to tell him all about you, too...I recently realized something. Precious things remain precious, whether you're alive or dead...Sorry for making you listen to all my long-winded monologue. You look like you still have things left to do. You look like you've grown up a lot, Sanzo-chan. You're much more handsome now, too. Not as handsome as my husband was, though. *chuckle* Well then...Take care of yourself. You still have a lot of life ahead of you.

> You feel a close bond between Hisano and yourself...Hisano left without looking back...


Sensei! I'm super-duper happy that you came to see me!


What'd you think of the sleepy, peaceful version of Inaba? It must seem weird to you...Huh...I wonder why it began just as you arrived here...
I remember that first time. Sensei and Yosuke, braving the TV world alone...Boy, I feel so nostalgic!
Yeah. Ever since then, it was just one surprise after another...
I can't imagine how it's gonna be like, living here without you. A quiet, peaceful town, with no need to use our Personas anymore...
I can't imagine it either.
...That's right, we were right in the middle of the case when you came over to this side.
A lot of stuff's happened. Facing my true self...And you and me got into a fight, too...
Y-Yosuke, did you smack Sensei!? Ooooh, how reckless...
Of course, moron. Best friends gotta fight sometimes to be best friends.
Why didn't you say so earlier!? Sensei! Bring it on! Let's fight!
Don't hurt him, man. He's gotta get on that train tomorrow.
......
Sensei...You're really leaving, huh? I'm glad I met you and Yosuke.
You two completely changed my life...And Nana-chan, Yuki-chan and the others, too...They all helped me...They gave life to me.
Life...? Come on, man. You were the one who wanted to change. That's why you tried so hard to make it happen.
...Thank you so much, Sensei and Yosuke! I love you.
"Love" is kinda strong...
I'll take off my outfit if you want!
L-Let's not...

> You feel a solid bond between you, Yosuke, and Teddie...

By the way, is it okay for you to chill here? Don't you have somewhere to go? Like...meeting someone?
Do you want Teddie to come with you?
No, I think Teddie has to work...



> The Amagi Inn...


Sanzo-kun...That's right, you're leaving tomorrow. Thanks for coming to see me before you leave...It means a lot to me.
I...I was thinking of spending today as just another day. Helping with the housework, taking a long bath, and going to sleep...So I can...I can say goodbye without crying...
*chuckle* But I failed miserably...I kept thinking about you...And on top of that...Here you are, right in front of me. You're not helping at all.
...You're so mean.
That's it, I'm leaving town with you tomorrow!
*chuckle* Just kidding...for now.
You know...After I decided to stay here and become the manager, I realized how afraid I was...Whether I can meet all the responsibilities...Whether I'll be able to support the whole staff on my own...
I never thought of things like that...
But I've made my decision...Now I have to make an honest attempt at it. I'll do my best to overcome the fear.
And you'll be in my heart while I do, Sanzo-kun...We'll be together...even when we're apart. I promise I won't turn away from my problems and fears. I'm going to meet every challenge head-on, no matter how hard it seems...Remember what Ameno-sagiri said? "If mankind so wishes, I will return at any time"...That's not what I wish for...I'll face myself, no matter what happens. Sanzo-kun...Thank you. You'll forever be my precious friend.

> You feel a solid bond between you and Yukiko...

U-Um, well...I-I should get back to work! I'll see you tomorrow...

> Hill overlooking town...


Mister Sanzo...What a coincidence. Yuuta and I just randomly decided to come here today. Is this fate...?

> Eri smiles brightly.

Yuuta: Let's play, Mister!
Hey, don't be selfish, Yuuta. I want to talk to Mister Sanzo, too.
Well, he asked first.
(Play with Yuuta)
Yuuta: Yaaay!

> You played with Yuuta...


By the way...you know how the criminal behind those incidents got arrested? I was afraid because everything about the case was so mysterious, and that awful fog didn't help, either...When I heard the culprit was arrested, the first thing that came to my mind was about Yuuta.
"Yuuta is safe now"...I felt so relieved. I can now understand what it means by "the life of a parent revolves around their child."
I just want my kid to grow up to be a kind person; that's really all I ask of Yuuta. Life is not only about yourself...There are always other people around you, so your life will affect their life. So I want Yuuta to become the type of person who can empathize with someone else...Understand their situation...I believe that being kind to others will satisfy one's own heart...
Thank you so much for everything. You changed my entire life.
I never really thought about my life in the past. I thought I'd be okay if I could enjoy the moment...I'd just spent the rest of my life killing time.
But now I see things differently. Having Yuuta with me every day, laughing together over small things...I feel alive. *chuckle* I'm glad I'm a mother.

> Eri smiles brightly. You feel a close bond between Eri and yourself...

I have to go now...I promised Yuuta we'd make spaghetti and meatballs together tonight. Goodbye, Mister Sanzo. I'm glad I met you.

> Inaba Municipal Hospital...You overhear two nurses talking...



> They seem to be talking about Sayoko...

Young nurse: She joined some volunteer organization and went to Africa.
Slim nurse: Africa!? I never thought she'd be the kind of person who would go there...
Young nurse: Well, she seemed to be taking her job really seriously towards the end of her time here. She even studied during break. Do you remember when we were talking about the rumors of the Midnight Channel? She wasn't interested at all.
Slim nurse: Oh, I remember those rumors. Not that I know where they started...But yeah, now that you mention it, Uehara-san was never around when we were chatting about them. She was studying some foreign language, wasn't she?
Young nurse: She was trying to learn English and some African languages. She read a lot of medical books, too.
Slim nurse: I see...But, why Africa? Why'd she join a volunteer organization? What's the point? I'd rather marry a guy, raise kids, and be an ordinary housewife.
Young nurse: That's what I used to think too, but watching Uehara-san kinda made me feel different about it...She did seem to have a boyfriend, though. A very young one, too!
Slim nurse: Oh, it must have been that kid who was working here part-time...
Young nurse: I don't know the details, but he seemed to really mean something to her...She once told me that she was trying to do her best to live up to him...
Slim nurse: "Do her best," eh...? I feel I have to try harder, too...
Young nurse: Yeah...I'm starting to see where she was coming from.
Slim nurse: ...Let's get back to work and do our best.

> It seems that Sayoko is working hard in a foreign country...Even though Sayoko is gone, her life here has changed people for the better. You feel a close bond between Sayoko and yourself...You decided to go back to the town...


You caught me off guard, haha...Oh, umm...I was just thinking of you, and you suddenly showed up, so...

> Chie is laughing, embarrassed...

...Tomorrow's the day, huh? I thought a lot about you, and I...I decided to come here. I was thinking, "What can I do for you?" And I figured crying or feeling sad about you leaving wasn't it...So I made up my mind...I'm gonna show you what you've taught me.
I bought a book. It's called..."How to Become a Police Officer!" I told you I wanted to become strong so I could protect what matters most to me, right? Well, I want to protect this town. We all worked hard to win this peace...I wanna keep it this way. You can't be certain that no incident like this will ever happen again, right?...This is where all my best friends are...It's where I met you...So I thought maybe I'd become a cop, and have Dojima-san put me through the wringer!

> Chie is smiling cheerfully...
Chie and Dojima, walking the beat together. If those muggers come back again, they are soooo fucked.

So go home proud. We'll be fine here...
Come back anytime. We'll all be waiting for you.

> You feel a tight bond with Chie...

...You still have to say goodbye to everyone else, right? Go ahead...Go.

> Chie is smiling sadly...




I was waiting for you. I wanted to see you before you left. Though, parting words aren't what I have for you...
Remember? The heart is shaken more by a single action than by a thousand words...Do you know what action will shake both of our hearts...?
A goodbye handshake?
Oh? Would that really satisfy you? *chuckle*
For us residents...I'm sure this is a sin. Now...Close your eyes.
Why, you ask...? So that you don't witness my sinfulness.
Man what is with these extradimensional women not having any damn respect for Sanzo's boundaries.



> You feel a solid bond between you and Margaret...


*chuckle*
...Will I ever see you again, I wonder...?



Thanks for that, Margaret!


I came to see you.
Senpai...No...That's like you came to say goodbye...! I'm not planning on letting this be the last time we meet!...It does make me sad, though.
I told you before, right? I'm returning to showbiz, starting spring. I went to voice training today to prepare myself for that. You see, I'm redebuting myself with a new album! I'm writing all the lyrics myself! Well, I got a D in Composition, so they aren't exactly masterpieces...
Maybe Marie would be willing to license her clown rap.
...But you know, a lot of stuff's happened while I was on break...I made friends...dear friends...Everyone was so nice to me...I want to express that to everyone who will listen. My deepest feelings, in my own words. Ahh, I'm scared! I'm scared of putting the real me out there for people to see...But...I can't give in to that fear, right? I'll work hard, for all my fans out there...I'm gonna make a huge comeback!...So wish me luck!
Of course.
*giggle* Thank you, Senpai. I know that you'll be watching me on the other side of the camera...I'll keep thinking that way as I work.

> You feel a close bond between yourself and Rise...

I look back at Junes now, and I feel all these good memories of us...Maybe I'll offer to appear in a commercial for Junes. Then you'll all remember the times we had every time you see it!...But then, we'll all feel a bit lonely afterwards, huh...? Senpai...I'll see you tomorrow. I'll say goodbye, and I won't cry...I'm so glad that fog's gone. I mean, it's still foggy over in the other world, but it's a clear, blue sky over here. We can see you off on a happy note...Well, see you later.


What a coincidence, meeting you here. What are you doing?
Saying goodbye to people.
Goodbye...? What are you talking about?
I'm leaving town tomorrow.
Huh...Tomorrow? That's so sudden. I have a baseball game tomorrow...But, I want to see you off...

> Shu is panicking...You told Shu that it's okay if he can't come...

Oh...Okay...
...Then, can I tell you something I've always wanted to say? I made a friend. He's in the store right now, buying ice cream. It's the guy who transferred here that I told you about before. Remember? He's a fun guy, and he's nice...He spoke up for me when I got suspended for cheating. And thanks to him, I have other friends now...He's teaching me about comics and video games. And, in return, I help him study. Sometimes, we do our homework together...I never thought that "fun" was something you could have every day. Instead of being afraid and running away, I should've just faced it head-on. Sensei...Thank you very much. Umm...Your tutoring was great! I really learned a lot!

> Shu smiles like the happiest kid in the world...You felt very close to Shu...

I'm going to hit a home run tomorrow. It'll go so far, it'll reach your train...Please don't forget about me, even if you're far away. I'll remember you, too. I'm glad you came to this town...It must've been scary for you, though. With those murders...Those only happened while you were here, huh? Haha...You must have bad luck...Sensei...Thank...Thank you...*hic*...




...Haha, what a coincidence. We were just talking about you. Why don't you join us, man?


You see, we started talking about whether or not all the crazy stuff that happened here was really over, and...
...We were consoling each other about you leaving tomorrow.
Why you gotta blurt that stuff out!? That's embarrassing, man! To be honest, though...I did wanna see you one last time, but I figured you'd be too busy. The next thing I know, you walk right in! It's like man, I was being thoughtful for nothing!

> You shared a joyful moment with Kou and Daisuke...

Oh, while you're here, lemme tell you something. After I graduate, I think I'm gonna go to college overseas. Not only does it sound like a blast, but I think it'll look good on my resume when I join "the society," you know? I figure that'll help out the Ichijo family, too.
...Come on, you're not doing this for your family.
I know. It's for my own sake. It's not for the family that took me in, or because I'm their first son...I want to support the family in my own way. I don't need to be the head in order to do that. That's why I think it'll be cool to study overseas. I'm sure I'll learn all kinds of things I couldn't over here...'Course, Daisuke's gonna be a loner. Hahaha.
Not really...
No matter where in the world all of us are, it won't matter. Friends are still friends, even when you can't see each other all the time.
......
Wh-What?
Those were some touching words, man. To tell ya the truth, I had a hard time just thinking about how to start this conversation. I was even thinking about hopping on the train Sanzo'll be on tomorrow so I could tell him all about it.
Haha, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Why don't we go get some ramen?
...Umm, Sanzo...You can come back and visit any time you want, man! This is your hometown now too, ya know!

> You feel a close bond between Kou, Daisuke, and yourself...

I'm sure you've got other people to say your goodbyes to. We can see you off tomorrow, but uh...We'll always be friends.
We'll always be friends, too.
Hey, don't steal my lines! I'm gonna make you eat pickled bamboo shoots!


Stupidliarblockhead. I didn't even want you to save me, and you did, and now you're doing this...?
...I'm going to be lonely.
We'll meet again.
Of course we will. If we weren't going to meet again...I wouldn't let you go.
...Hey...I went out and got something to eat by myself. Those...steak thingies. Skewers. Whatever they're called. I can...I can walk around town. Even without your help. The bond between us has connected me to this world...It's kinda lonely, but I'm going to explore the town without you.
I'm not scared anymore. If I don't take any steps forward, I won't learn anything. I'm going to find out more and more about this "outside world," and next time you come I'll be showing you around.

> Marie is acting proud...You feel a tight bond between you and Marie...

You're going to say goodbye to everyone else, right? You're always like that...
...I'll see you again. Thank you.



> The shrine seems to be prospering, as some objects are shimmering with a golden sheen. You don't see the fox...Perhaps it left...


Old man: This place was bustling with visitors not too long ago, but these days, you see less and less. I heard the town was considering tearing the place down because someone stole money from the offertory box. Also heard some fox had taken up a home here and they were gonna haul it off to an animal shelter. Too many rumors these days. Remember that one about how the fog was making everyone sick? Or that other one...What was it called? Midnight Radio...? That was popular with the kids, alright. My grandson and his friends were all into. Funny, I remember something kinda like that happening when I was a kid, too. Wonder who starts these rumors?...Oops, I almost forgot. I was supposed to pick up some juice for my grandson.

> You wonder if the fox was taken to an animal shelter, as that old man said...You decided to leave the shrine...You feel a presence watching you...





> The fox family seems to be welcoming you...They look like they're doing fine. The fox's happiness reminds you of the close bond you share with it...



> Kanji seems to be panicking for some reason...


Kanji's mother: I heard you're leaving tomorrow. You know, Kanji's been acting all sad and lonely lately.
Sh-Shut up, you old bat!!
Kanji's mother: I told you not to speak to me that way! Anyway, have you told him about the handicraft class? Thank you for being such a role model for my son, Sanzo-kun. Come visit here sometime, all right? Goodbye now.


Handicraft class?
Ugh...
See, a buncha customers liked those knitted dolls we sold, and they asked me how to make 'em...S-So...I-I'm gonna hold classes on how to do it...
L-Laugh it up, why don't you!?
(Don't laugh)
...Senpai.
It was my decision, though. If people wanna learn, and if I can teach 'em...Hell, why not, you know? I-I'm still kinda embarrassed, though...
But, uhh...It kinda feels good to do something for other people...Heh.
It's only 'cause of you that I could face up to who I am, Senpai...Thank you very much!!

> Kanji has a refreshing smile on his face...You feel a solid bond between you and Kanji...

Are you gonna say goodbye to the others later?...Well, it ain't like this is the last time we'll see each other. Our friendship ain't just on the surface...Funny how we got the murder case to thank for that.
...We put an end to that stuff, right? Adachi's in the slammer, and the fog is all cleared up...
...It's all thanks to you, Senpai...
Yo Senpai...When you go, don't turn back around, okay?...See ya.


You're moving tomorrow, right? Don't you have more important things to do?
I came to talk to you.
With me? You really are a strange person...Oh, just to let you know, I just got back from school. I told them to stop treating me special next year. If I didn't speak up now, who knows how the classes would've been organized. And I was just about to go deliver some goods. I got a scooter license, so I'm actually helping out now. There aren't that many people who come to the store out of pity anymore, so we gotta work really hard.

> Naoki is smiling cheerfully...

...Oh, did you know our top selling product? Handcrafted eau de toilette. We use sake instead of ethanol, and it's become pretty popular...Hehehe. To tell you the truth, it was my idea. I heard some girls talking about it, so I did some research. Well...It may not be what a proper liquor store would sell, but it's selling, so it's good for business. I feel like I'm back on my own two feet, and I can start moving forward again...It's all thanks to you. Thank you very much.

> Naoki is smiling. You feel that the bond between you and Naoki is very tight.

Alcohol's interesting. I can't drink it yet, of course, since I'm underage. I was thinking about studying it once I got to college...I never thought I'd feel this way back then. It seems as if Sis died a long time ago...The killer has been caught, so I just hope nothing like this ever happens again...I really do wish that...Oh, I'm sorry. You're probably in the middle of talking to everyone, aren't you?...I'll see you later.


Did you see all your friends?
Most of them...
I see...Did they all cry?...Let me see your face.


We've only been together for about a year, but kids grow up surprisingly fast.
......
Nanako...Do you remember what we promised?
...Take care of yourself, big bro. Don't get sick.
You too, Nanako.
Yup...
Don't look so sad, Nanako. We're all family, remember? It doesn't matter if we're apart. We can go see him when I get a vacation. Then we can talk about everything that's happened since we last saw each other, right?
...Yeah.
Will you remember me?
Of course.
It's a promise...
Aaah...Come on, don't cry...
I'm not crying!
Oh well...I guess all kids end up being pushed around by their parents. Same goes for you, Sanzo...
Sanzo...It wasn't that long, all things considered, but I did enjoy your time here with us. I really do think of you as a part of my family. I'm surprised my sister's kid would turn out to be such an upstanding young man...Haha...
Give Nanako a call sometime when you have a spare moment. And...you're welcome to come visit us anytime. I'll leave your room just like it is. This is your second home, you know.

> You feel a solid bond between Dojima, Nanako, and yourself...

When I grow up, I want to marry you, big bro...
Hahaha! You're a stud, Sanzo. Sure, Nanako, if he's still available by the time you're an adult.
But that will be a long time, won't it, Sanzo?...Right?

By the way, have you said goodbye to everyone yet? You still have a lot of time today. Why don't you go around Inaba and see everyone who'll miss you? Besides, I don't think you've really had the whole "peaceful small town" experience while you were here.
...Now that I think about it...That case began shortly after you arrived, and it finally ended a few months ago. Basically, it all happened while you were here in Inaba...I guess it was just a quirk of fate...Anyway, you should get going. We'll be going home, too.

> You have said goodbye to all the people you have formed close bonds with...You should return to your house to prepare for tomorrow...

Is that it? Is it really over?



No. It is not over.



Not by a long shot.
