Sekihi ~ 石牌

Song by: Defoko / Utane Uta デフォ子 / 歌音ウタ (Inaphon)

Kieru kotoba
asayake Ni nori
mada oboete ITA
kakera no mukō Ni
shiroi kiri ga
azayaka Ni nari
me no Mae no ima ga
mabuta no oku Ni

(A dying word rides on the flaming dawn sky
a fragment of remembrance is still in my brain
and the white cloud there gains the colour
this very moment is printed on my memory)

Yuka died. Dead. Gone, forever. And her last words... Why were they for me? I never did deserve her apology... Did I?

But it doesn't matter now. Some people may have moved on, but some don't. Take for example – her daughter – she's crying every bloody bit out of her own body and her uncle can't even drag her away from Yuka's casket. So why? Why were those final words of hers for me? Even Masachika or the ESP or even her own daughter would have sufficed. If only...

And then her daughter's been dragged away; she softly sings that song of hers.

"Nokosareta watashi wa dō sureba īno?"
"Mō ae nai danante..."

("What do I do leave behind?"
"Why is it that I can't see you any longer?")

After all, she was the girl's mother... And for you, Yuka, I'm glad you're now with Sensei... I'm sorry too.

Kie nai ato
arishi hi no jōkei
michi o ayadotta
hizashi no yōni
me o tojite mo
yake tsuita emi
mō ichido misete
konna hazu ja nakute
ima Kara nara soko e
oi tsukeru ki ga shite
kake dasu watashi o
yurushite kudasai
onaji basho e itte
onaji yōni watashi mo...

(Here the fadeless mark and the memories of the past days
Your smile appears again and again every time I close my eyes
It was like the sunlight that gave brightness to the ways
Show me your smile once more
This mustn't be what you meant!

I feel I can catch you if I do now
Please give me pardon 'cause I'm rushing to you
I go where you are now and, also...)

Yuka, I will remember you. I'm sorry. That time I was blinded by that immature jealousy. I ought to go to Hell, don't I? Yuka, for once, please smile for Sensei.

Why, Yuka, why? Why did you forgive me? I almost killed your daughter, I-I-I...

"ite kureru dake de"
"tada"
"ite kureru dake de yokatta noni"
"dō shite"
"itte shimatta ndarō"
"dō shite..."

("My entire wish was,"
"just all,"
"all my wish was"
"that you were just with me"
"Why,"
"why have you gone by yourself?"
"Why...")

... Shouldn't be forgiven... So Yuka, please, enjoy your time in heaven – I'll be in Hell when I die...
