Phil: Ed.
Phil: Ed, wake up.
SFX (pachi – eyes opening): open
Phil: Ah, you're awake.
Page 103
Ed: Don't say it over and over again.
Don't wake me up so early in the morning.
Phil: Eh? But the weather's nice out so isn't it fine?
Ed: I've never had such a healthy live style.
It's not like a vampire.
Phil: It's not as if you'll turn to ash if you bask in the sun.
Isn't it fine? Besides, I made breakfast.
Ed (thought): Breakfast, huh...
Page 104
Ed (thought): Even though he hasn't made this sort of thing before...until recently.
Ed (thought): He's behaving like a normal human. Is he fluttering away...?
Phil: How is it?
Phil: Alice taught me, but it seems like I can't make it very well.
Ed: Alice...? ...Who?
Phil: Oh, I haven't told you? She works at the town library.
Page 105
Phil: She's a very good person.
Since I don't know about society,
Phil: she's taught me about many things.
Phil: I'm going to return a book today too.
Phil: Won't you come with me, Ed?
Ed: …
Phil: Ed...?
Ed: I'm fine.
Page 106
Phil: Really?
Phil: Ah...well, meet her next time.
Phil: I think she'll definitely like you too, Ed.
Page 107
Phil: Hello.
Alice: Oh, hello.
Page 108
Phil: Thanks for this. It was incredibly interesting.
Alice: Oh good, so you liked it?
Phil: Yeah, a lot.
Alice: Well, we have more of the same series, so you should try reading it.
Phil: Oh... Thanks. I'll read it.
Phil: By the way, I came to invite you today.
Alice: What?
Page 109
Phil: Won't you come have fun at my house? I want you to meet Ed.
Alice: Ed?
Alice: The one you're always talking about?
Alice: Yeah... Your rumored older brother.
Phil: Right. I told Ed about you today.
Phil: He's a little shy but if you talked to him you'd definitely enjoy it.
Alice: That's right, since you always talk about him.
I think it'd be nice to meet him once.
Phil: Really? Good.
Page 110
Phil: You'll definitely be surprised when you meet him.
Alice: Oh, why?
Phil: He's a very handsome man.
Alice (written): Ahaha!
Alice: I'm looking forward to it.
Phil: Well, it's a promise.
Phil: Ah.
Page 111
Phil: What part of me isn't strange?
Alice: ? What? You always ask. Is something wrong?
Phil: I'm fine.
Alice: No part of you is strange. You are beautiful today too.
Phil: That's good if it's true.

Phil (thought): I wonder if I took a little too long.
Phil (thought): That shop...
Phil: They just have small shoes.
How nostalgic... I came here with Ed before.
Page 114
Phil: When I came here before...
Phil (thought): I was still small. All I could do was follow behind Ed.
Page 115
Phil (narration): I wonder
Phil (narration): how I look at Ed now.
Phil: I'm home.
Page 116
Phil: Ed?

Page 118
Phil: ...Ed.
Page 119
Phil: Wah!
Ed: What are you doing?
Page 120
Phil: You're awake. ...Don't surprise me like that.
SFX (pa – impact noise): pat
Ed: This is probably what woke me.
You'll always be mischievous like a child.
Phil: …
Not likely. You just always treat me like a child, Ed.
Ed: …
Ed: ...That's right.
Page 121
Phil: I invited Alice here, but is that alright?
Phil: I said we'd have fun.
Ed: ...Yeah.
Phil: Are you going out tonight?
Ed: No, I'm not.
Page 122
Phil: Right...
You haven't been going out recently...
Ed: …
Phil: Ah...well...
Phil: Today when I was returning from the library I passed by a shoe store.
Phil: Do you remember? It was the shoe store you took me to when I was small.
Ed: Yeah, I remember.
Phil: It hasn't changed at all. It felt weird being there...
Page 123
Phil: Even now they just have small shows for children.
Phil: Let's go again. The two of us.
Phil: Even if I say that, there are probably not any shoes I can wear.
Phil: I'm really different than I was then...
Phil: When I was small, all I could do was follow behind you, Ed.
Phil: But now...
Ed: Stop already.
Page 124
Phil: Eh?
Ed: I don't want to hear about it.
Ed: I understand that things are different from back then.
Ed: I don't want to know
what you're doing in places I don't know.
Ed: I don't want to hear about that woman who knows those things.
Phil: Ed...?
Page 125
Ed: You say she'll like me if we meet!? It's not that simple.
Ed: I cannot carry any favors.
Ed: Instead I want to hurt you.
Phil: Ed...
Phil: Ed...you wouldn't do something like that.
Ed: Haha, what am I doing. You probably aren't a child anymore.
Ed: It's so unsightly.
Page 126
Ed: It seems I don't know you...
Ed: I'm always scared. You're growing older.
Ed: You won't be a child forever.
Ed: In time...
Phil: Ed...
Page 127
Ed: My feelings are changing.
Phil: Ed...
Phil: Please look at me.
Phil: Please listen to me.
Phil: Don't you understand at all?
Page 128
Phil: You don't understand at all, Ed.
Ed: Phi...
