no matter what they do.
And then
learn some more things that I didn't know about her ....
It's okay. I'm going to wait at the entrance.
Human relations.
Ah! It's not about you.
What's why I was avoiding my sister.
All student members of the soccer team, please assemble in the sports ground.
I didn't think It'd finish this late.
That's why ....
I did something horrible to my sister. So horrible that all I want is to die. I don't know what in the world I should do anymore ....
As long as she had found some goal to pursue and started looking forward, I was glad all the same.
Yes .... Thank you.
It's as if I had killed him ....
That wasn't a farewell note.
hibiya
through that shoe cupboard?
We're going to visit you and your family some more ....
To Enomoto Tsugumi-chan Your brother is nowhere any more.
She's shining like a star.
Well, I guess.
I'll be there right after I'm done.
I'll be waiting, then.
Tsugumi
Yeah.
twins
not-hibiya
And you, Yutaka?
I .... nothing much ....
Well no, I've got cleaning duty, so I'll be late.
Honestly, she was a little gloomy before.
Yes, I was a little brat.
My heart is pounding.
Hey, is there a PE lesson this afternoon!?
You're going home together with your sister!?
dang
You're so cute.
Hah, hah ....
It's a secret.
But a .... a “farewell note” has been found in his room.
The aura around Enomoto has changed a bit, don't you think?
I can't tell you ....
What have you been consulting
Heh.
I hadn't thought my sister would still be able talk with me like this.
You would have been better off going home earlier.
And the sunset is beautiful, isn't it?
No! That's not what I ....
If I had been able to understand what he felt like ....
Tsugu-
My sister
Yes, I'm going, just wait a little.
Tell me what's written inside.
I might ask something weird, but ....
------ Enomoto-kun Tsugumi-chan is not meeting with anyone.
I thought I'd use your number
Friends poking fun at me had stopped bothering me. I cared about it less than when I was a little brat.
Girl ....
I talked with my friends about going to the swimming pool.
I should know that the family are the ones who hurt the most, and yet ....
You know .... that one whose brother passed away.
He didn't.
When did you start to be so curious about that woman!?
But if she was happy, I'd be so too.
2Grade
about looking.
Hidden Poison in the Open Cracks The End
To Enomoto Tsugumi-chan. The notes Yutaka-kun missed to turn in are in his desk. Show those to the adults.
Romantic relationship, huh ....
Yeah, bye-bye.
Enough to make me wanna kill you
Hey, Yutaka
I know. I'm right next to you.
Huh?
She had an air of somebody who doesn't smile often.
Ah, it won't be long until summer holidays, you know.
I thought that if I could
But they, yeah.
See you again tomorrow.
That it was a suicide .... or anything of that sorts
My sister.
It's okay.
Yutaka
Heh .... I'll try to share something through that drawer, too.
Huh?
Eh .... o-okay, but ....
Heheh
hadn't given me that kind of response for a couple of years.
———ignored———is my sister———?
I just picked it up.
A conversation like the old times.
I'm not brave enough to look myself.
She was in a very good mood recently.
There's some guy who's on your mind?
Don't you think that she got more cheerful in recent days?
Is .... this a reply to you, then .... ?
No .... I'm sorry, Hibiya-kun.
Where is my brother now?
Notice to people underaged:
Tsugumi said that she has a boy she's curious about too ....
Huh?
Pulling such accusations makes me look like a huge insensitive moron.
She's so poor. She must still not be able to believe that he died.
Ah, come on. There's nothing wrong with it.
I kept the contents of my notes a secret, however.
I can't gather enough strength to bring it forth, I guess ....
I didn't know where or when, or who my sister could hang out with.
Ah, yeah.
I actually tried putting notes in that shoe cupboard a lot of times ....
Is it .... about that boy on your mind .... we were discussing before?
And it's not that far away.
But you were the one who put it in, right?.
It's a girl.
That's what it says here.
the letters are ....
Ah-
SOMEBODY CALL THE TEACHER!!!
EEEEEEEEEEK!!!
It's hard for me to believe ...
Right?
The fact that there was a boy she was interested in was also surprising.
She was nice enough to talk with such an awful brother as me, after all.
Huh?
You two must love each other ~
It seems that she opens her brother's cupboard before she goes home.
Is he from the same class?
Doesn't seem like she has any friends to share that with.
Really? Mind going on the rooftop, then?
But why .... I didn't write to Mashiro-kun today ....
I told my sister about Mashiro-kun.
In fact, there's some boy I don't know what to do about.
It may be “that woman” to you, but she's a classmate to us.
I told you I'd be waiting.
D-don't cry, Enomoto ....
I just had to press you a little bit. Geez.
She got more cheerful and all.
It's too late for such questions now, Yutaka.
Eh...... yeah, no.
Shut up.
Majority of them up until that point
No, not really .... What's up?
Is it yours?
It's okay, I didn't look into it.
SNAP
click
They said it was a suicide.
So? Did he reply?
dong
To Enomoto Yutaka-kun. Tsugumi is perfectly healthy.
That one I heard about from my friends.
“Tsugumi-chan will be alright.”
I did my best to set my hair in morning and .... all.
All she'd been doing was leave in a sorry manner.
She wears contacts now, right?
dang
Yes, the pool would be nice.
Hibiya said he'd love to go eat a shaved ice.
You were studying? Sorry.
This was lying there.
He was happy to say he could bring you too ....
Then I'll give you a push.
.... It's got nothing to do with you, Tsugumi. Don't poke your nose into every single thing.
Now, Yutaka
I was told that if you manage to get Mashiro-kun interested in something, he'll reply every time you turn it in.
ding
Yes. It's fine.
Yutaka ....
Ah, you mean his sister?
I can't hear your voice.
Huff
I think she broke her glasses.
Is it a note to someone?
Yutaka
An insult which I didn't meant to say.
When———my sister———but———
I'm concerned if it's not my fault that everyone thinks she's gloomy.
Having other people see it is much worse, right .... ?
———Tsugimi-chan will be fine.
“You can't be interested in going swimming with boys”
What's the matter? Are you going to confess to someone?
Why ....
Whoa, you really did that?
Come closer.
CLATTER
Only don't make a girlfriend during those holidays! We'd feel left out!
Huff
Ah.
knock knock
Try seeing it yourself.
.... It's broken now.
Yutaka.
The aura around Enomoto has changed recently, don't you think?
What were you doing just now?
You're so light, Yutaka. Almost like a girl ....
Siste ....
To Enomoto Yutaka-kun. Tsugimi is not angry anymore.
I had started to share with Mashiro-kun every time
All of that ....
Enomoto
Yutaka, let's depart.
were concerned with what hurt me about my sister.
Eh, you were serious about letting me look?
ding
Thoughts like these kept on creeping inside my mind.
That shoe cupboard I was talking about some time ago ....
Look into it. Please.
He was saying he wanted to go to the swimming pool .... during summer holidays ....
KASHANG
Sto- I'm gonna fa-
Will I be able to kill my brother well?
I was outside at that time, and there was some terribly loud noise all of a sudden.
You must be Enomoto Tsugumi-chan It'll be alright. I'm sure you can do it.
Hidden Poison in the Open Cracks Last Part
This sucks!
The guys that don't get replied to can't change it,
Oh, let's go to the swimming pool.
Ah, I get it.
———moto Yutaka-kun ———-chan will———ll right.
Ah
Hah ....
I got some small worries.
My sister is uncomfortable with contact lenses, isn't wearing them every day tiresome———
I smacked my sister by mistake. I wonder if she's angry.
Yutakaa!
Ah
Sorry.
To Eno——— Tsugumi-chan is not angry anymore.
Well .... I suppose you can say that ....
I'm not angry at you anymore.
That he jumped off the roof.
Some good event must have happened now that she was doing so carefree.
Like the old times.
Yeah ....
You're weird.
That's why .... I ....
doesn't lie ....
It'll be alright, Tsugumi-chan. I'm sure you can do it.
Yutaka, did Mashiro-kun reply to you?
Oh, what a shame.
dong
Mashiro-kun
Really?
I'm telling you.
Huff
But the ones that get it just do.
You know.
———feeling bad, but——must be all right?
Yutaka
Do you remember?
I managed to find the key in a normal way, too.
He got crazy over it and forced me.
This is pretty ridiculous. The letters are chalk white.
The wind is noisy.
You know far too well why.
And you wanted to be friends again.
BAM
All of that.
Right ....
Hey, we should go somewhere during the summer holidays.
“Tsugimi-chan is not angry anymore.”
thud
Huff
The lessons are about to start, let's go.
Ah, again.
.... What's that supposed to mean?
Huh? No ....
I want it to be like the old times again.
Yup. Here.
“Why” .... ?
The body of a second grade student from the art club has been found.
Don't shout.
Hah
Hah, hah
Does it really say that there?
I'm fine with bathing last, but ....
Huff
Huff
You know .... We'd have been fine without bothering ourselves to come here, a corridor or something would be okay ....
I just wanted to have a chat, but she listened carefully.
A girl?
Are you free after school?
Yutaka?
Let's get a normal approach.
Huh ....
Eh?
But he won't answer be, no matter what.
ah, I'm nervous
Look into it instead of me.
I don't want anybody else to be able to see it.
I don't want anybody else to be able to see it ....
Thank you very much for reading to the end. I didn't make many layers like usual, I just saved out a few so I could change the main characters' hair colors later on. It's come to me now that I should have given some actual name to “not-hibiya”.
I repeat. All student members of the soccer team———
Bye-byeee
Ah, umm .... his twin ....
They told me to invite you too. But you can't be interested in going to a pool.
But,
Is there any way I could make my brother's death look like suicide?
Amazing .... He really did reply to you ....
There we go.
Hahah, Mashiro-kun is amazing. He found out about you.
You're gonna fall?
His sister is so poor right now ....
It seems like he tormented himself over me.
If I had been able to get a hold of myself some more ....
I must have lost my mind ....
It was Yutaka's writing, but there was too little text for it to be his last will.
Activities forbidden inside the local:
How do you know that .... ? She couldn't have been that crafty ....
Enomoto-san! Bye-bye ....
There was a trace of an erased number .... Well, don't mind. I could also get killed if she found out.
Which grade was she? The one with a ponytail ....
