Prologue – "Their words"
Rin
There's so much pain in the question "Are you okay?"
Rin
That for a moment someone noticed the changes in your face,
Rin
That for a moment someone saw your mask fade away,
Rin
That for a moment, you realized you were never okay.
What happened to the world?
Ayumu
People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used.
Ayumu
The reason why the world is in chaos,
Ayumu
Is because things are being loved and people are being used.
How deep is your friendship?
Akashi
It's really deep that it reaches to the point that—
Akashi
If my friends were to jump off from a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them.
Akashi
I would be at the bottom to catch them.
What did you learn from your elders?
Yuna
Don't trust too much.
Don't love too much.
Don't care too much.
Yuna
Because that "too much",
Yuna
will hurt you so much.
Why are you always alone?
Kei
Why am I always alone...? That's because... no one has shown interest of being by my side.
Kei
Sometimes, I just can't help but ask myself that question every now and then.
Kei
I know the answer... I know the answer very well. It's just... so hard to accept the fact that I'll always be alone.
Onigasaki
I lost myself trying to please everyone else.
Onigasaki
Now I'm losing everyone... while I'm finding myself.
Can you tell me the words that you've been wanting to say?
Yukine
I asked for a miracle, I voiced my struggle, I screamed for help,
Yukine
yet no one was willing to hear me out.
You have a question, don't you?
Yukine
Everyone has. They, who never had the chance to speak their thoughts,
Yukine
They, who never really knew their purpose,
Yukine
They, who never expressed their true feelings...
Yukine
They were the ones suffering from all those questions that haven't been answered.
Yukine
They lost themselves.
You... have one too. You were lost weren't you? You couldn't find the right path, am I right?
Author
Yes, I was lost. But let's face it, everyone was.
Author
We all have our questions, we all have our facades.
Author
But I believe that it's only a matter of time, that someone will be willing to lend a hand.
Author
I won't stop believing.
Author
I have faith in us.
Author
From the very start,
Author
I was lending you hand... and I still am
Author
Will you accept it?
Author
I'll be waiting until you're ready to reach out for help.
Would all of you take it? Would you be willing to reach out?
Rin
I don't want to, but I do need it.
Ayumu
As long as you can keep on doing that, I think I will.
Akashi
I'm willing to accept your help! The more the merrier!
Yuna
Umm... You won't let go, right...?
Kei
It's bitter to say no so let's just say, I would.
Onigasaki
Of course, help is what I need.
Yukine
because this is a waste of time.
Yukine
I've waited long enough,
Yukine
The help... is too late
This was their words when they walked the wrong path.
These were the sufferings they had when no one lent a hand.
If you know that someone needs you, say the words.
So please, lend them a hand.
