After all the trials you've been through with Yu and your friends, this can be considered a happy ending. The fog has cleared, Nanako is alive, and Dojima-san is fine too. And now this year is coming to an end, which means only one thing...

You looked at your leader with a slight sadness, but your smile warmed like the sun. Yu Narukami was supposed to return home, but was this place really his second home? Was this humble corner really his home? Has Inaba become a place he could call his second home? Could he call his friends his second family?

Why are you looking for an excuse for Yu Narukami to stay with you?

Your heart was pounding in your chest. You didn't want to see it, but there was only one word in your head —"goodbye." And everything could go back to normal.

( Heartbreak, heartbreak. You tell me goodbye. )

You were standing apart from the others, leaning against a pole. With a slight smile, you watched your friends until Yuu came up to you. There was a slight sadness in his gray eyes. He didn't want to leave you. Maybe he even dreamed of staying by my side.

Do not indulge in vain illusions.

None of you dared to speak first, but Yuu did.

— Today is a wonderful day. The sun gives warmth. People have become more active. Isn't this what we expected?

You smiled slightly, realizing that even at this moment, Yu is striving to support you as a true leader and true friend.
