Myself; Yourself

Afterwards

Chapter 3 "Realization"

After Aoi left, we decided we would go out tomorrow so that we can spend some time together. And so the next day, Nanaka and I went out together. Throughout the date, we met various types of people, people who know us because of our fame and those who knew us from our days in school.

"Nanaka oneechan, Sana. Mada ne." A young girl said to us as she ran across the railroad crossing.

"Hina hasn't changed." I said as Nanaka and I watched the young girl disappear after making a turn at one of the corners along the main street.

The young girl was Mochida Hinako. Although she was six years younger than we are, we graduated the same year from high school. This is because during our second year in high school Hina skipped six grade levels due to her excellent academic achievements. Aside from this, she is currently working on her doctorial degree in physics in a university in Tokyo.

"Yeah, she is still energetic and cheerful as before." Nanaka smiled as we continued our date.

The date went on without trouble and soon we arrived at the secret postal box, where Nanaka and I used to send secret messages to each other when we were children.

Realizing that this is a good place and that the mood is perfect and thus I decided to try again what was interrupted yesterday as I reached for the box that I have had in my pocket since yesterday.

"Nanaka, I…" Before I could go on our attention was turned to something else.

"Sana and Nanaka ja nai no?" A young man of our age asked.

"Syusuke, it's been a long time." I said as I greeted my best friend.

Wakatsuki Syusuke had been my best friends since we first met in primary school. Our friendship remained strong even after I returned to this town after spending five years in the city and to this day we are still good friends.

"Sashiburi, Syusuke." Nanaka also greeted him and she smiled as she looked at him.

Like in meeting our other friends, we talked about old days. We talked as we walked towards the center of our small town.

"Well, I will go get something to drink, what would you want?" I asked as we entered the town center and after hearing what Nanaka and Syu wanted, I walked off towards the only convenience store in the small town. After purchasing the drinks, I quickly exited the store, wishing to converse more with my best friend.

Then just as they entered into my vision, I took note of something. As Nanaka and Syu stood near the street corner where I left them, I saw something in Nanaka's eyes as they conversed. I couldn't believe the emotion she is displaying in her eyes as she spoke with Syu. The emotions are of love, love between a man and a woman and nothing less. I wish that I was wrong, but after knowing Nanaka for so many years, I knew for certain that my eyes were not mistaken.

Very soon, Syu noticed me and told me to join them and wishing to prevent the situation from deteriorating, I quickly ran up to them.

For the next few hours, we continued to talk and when we arrived at the front of Syu's house, the sun was already setting and so we decided to return home.

"I wish that you guys can come over, but my family is not home, so I guess I will see you next time." Syu said as he stood in front of his house.

"See you then." After saying our farewells, we left.

"Sana, was there something you wanted to tell me before Syu came?" Nanaka finally asked as we walked back towards where we lived.

"Iie, nodaimo." I replied as we continued our journey home.

Hearing the answer, Nanaka at first tried to say something, but the words never came. Thus, we remained quiet until we reached the shrine, where Nanaka and I parted ways. And again I put my hands into my pocket, feeling the weight that should have being gone.

As I returned home, I remembered the dream I had yesterday and realized that the man was Syu and the woman was …Nanaka.

"Maybe they do belong together." I said as I looked up at the darkening sky.

Author's note: Alright, I know this may not be the best piece of writing that exists; however, I do wish that some readers out there will give me a review or something so that I can know what you people think.

Anyway, I think the game is incomplete and could have been better. Why I say so is because the author for the script of Myself; Yourself also worked on the first two Memories Off series game and the level is entirely different. The end in the game just doesn't seem complete to me. Anyway, hope to hear back from some of you on what you think about the original series.

Japanese Translation

"Nanaka oneechan, Sana. Mada ne." translates to "See you later, Nanaka [sister and Sana."

"Sana and Nanaka ja nai no?" translates to "Isn't it Sana and Nanaka?"

"Iie, nodaimo." translates to "No, nothing."
