“The Day before yesterday,
I saw a rabbbit.
Yesterday a deer.
Today you.”
― Kotomi Ichinose

“Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family

The naughty fried dango, the kind red bean dango
The Mid-Autumn Festival dango tends to dream a little
The prim sesame dango, the four dango on a skewer
Everyone, everyone comes together and it’s a family of 100s

The baby dango is always within happiness
The aged dango has its eyes narrowed

The chummy dango hold their hands together and make a big, round ring
They build a town on the dango planet and everyone laughs together
The rabbit is trying to wave in the sky; the huge moon
Is rounding up everything, happy things and sad things, too

The chummy dango hold their hands together and make a big, round ring
They build a town on the dango planet and everyone laughs together
The rabbit is trying to wave in the sky; the huge moon
Is rounding up everything, happy things and sad things, too

Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family

Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a big dango family”

“Nagisa, I finally found it. I finally found it. Something only I can protect, the precious thing only I can protect. It was right here.”

“If you feel like crying you shouldn't hold back your tears. You should let it all out while you still can...because when you get bigger, sometimes can't cry even if you have something to cry about.”

“Tomoya: "You've been searching all this time?"
Ushio: "Yes."
Tomoya: "I see."
*Tomoya kneels before her.*
Tomoya: "Ushio, we might not be able to find your toy robot. We can't do anything about it so let's go buy another one. Okay?"
*Ushio looks down.*
Ushio: "There's only one."
Tomoya: "No, there was a whole bunch of them at the store."
Ushio: "But it's the one you chose and bought for me."
*Tomoya looks confused.*
Ushio: "First thing from daddy."
*Tomoya looks down ashamed.*
Tomoya: "Ushio, were you lonely?"
Ushio: "Yes."
Tomoya: "Was it fun to come on a trip with me?"
Ushio: "Yes."
Tomoya: "I see. Ushio… would it be alright if I stayed with you? I've been a bad daddy for many years but I'll do my best for you now on."
*Tomoya makes eye contact with her and gives a small smile*
Tomoya: "So would it be alright if I stayed with you?"
Ushio: "Yes."
Tomoya: "Really?"
Ushio: "I want you to be with me."
Tomoya: "I see."
Ushio: "But today I lost an important thing so I'm sad."
*small silence*
Ushio: "Daddy...you know…"
*Tomoya leans his head close to Ushio to hear her*
Ushio: "Is it alright not to hold it in anymore? Sanae told me there are two places I can cry. In the bathroom… and in Daddy's arms."
*Tomoya looks down and starts crying"
Tomoya: "Yeah."
*Tomoya looks up at her.*
Tomoya: "Yeah!"
*Ushio runs into his arms and they both cry, reunited with each other.*”

“Tomoya: Nagisa! (gasps)
Nagisa!
Nagisa: (weakly) Tomoya…
Tomoya: She’s here, Nagisa. She’s-she's right here! You can hear her, right?
That’s our baby, that’s our baby crying.
Nagisa: (weakly) Y-yeah…
Tomoya: Here, look! I got to hold her before anyone else, see?
Nagisa: Oh…she turned out so cute…
Tomoya: This is our little baby, Nagisa. It’s our little Ushio.
Nagisa: Hey there, Shio…
Tomoya: It’s a girl, she’s as healthy as can be!
Nagisa: Yeah… I’m so glad I could have her here with you, Tomoya… I’m sorry I had to make Shio work so hard for it, but at least we were all together…
Tomoya: You did a great job. I mean it.
Nagisa: (Sighs) Hey…I’m sorry, but I’m starting to feel a little tired. Could you let me rest? Just for a second…?
Tomoya: Come on, let’s talk just-just a little longer, okay? You don’t have to say anything, just listen. Come on, you have to look at our baby. She kinda looks like a cute
little monkey, doesn’t she? See? She’s so tiny. Here, I’m going to call her name, okay? Ushio. Hey, it’s daddy, Ushio. And this is mommy, see?
Look at her, see?
(Sniffles and laughs softly)
She’s ignoring me. Guess, she doesn’t understand yet. I’ll bet she’ll grow up before we know it. She’ll be starting school. We’ll have to go clothes shopping with her. We’ll have open house and school festivals to go to. We’ll do it all as a family, even though I used to make fun of that stuff growing up. (chuckles)
Nagisa? (gasps)
Nagisa. Here, it’s Ushio’s cheek. Come on. Hey…
(Nagisa Breathes heavily)
Tomoya: Nagisa. You told me you’d always be by my side. You said, we’d always be together. You promised me that, remember? Over and over again. We both promised. That was my only dream. Nothing good ever happened to me until I met you. I thought I had a crappy life but even someone useless like me finally found something to live for.
Right, Nagisa? Right?
Nagisa…
NAGISA!!!

Tomoya thinks of flashback when they first met:
Nagisa's voice echoing in his head: Do you like this school? I have to say that I love it very very much! But soon, everything changes. Well, at least it does eventually. Fun things, happy things, they’ll all eventually change someday, you know. But, do you think you can still love this place anyway?

(Instead of meeting her Tomoya turns the other direction and walks away)
We never should have met. We should have kept going down our separate paths. We
never would have gone out. We never would have gotten married and Ushio never would have been born. Then, at least I wouldn’t have to go through so much suffering.
(sniffle)
(sighs)
We never should have met.”
― Key

“The fact that I met her, the fact that we fell in love, that we got married, the fact that we had a baby... it was all one big mistake I couldn't take back.”
― Key
