Final Episode Spring Wind
Kousei!
Arima!
Arima...
Kousei...
Everybody's watching.
The people who made my life fuller.
The people who called me back to the stage.
Everybody's watching.
I... I can't let them down.
This is the sound that my mom gave me.
The sound that Watari made me notice.
The sound that Tsubaki found for me.
The sound that was born out of my battles with Aiza and Igawa.
The sound that Nagi and I created together.
The sound that Hiroko made me remember.
I'm so scared... I can't hear...
Somebody...
But you have me.
Yes.
It's just like you said. If I listen closely...
I'm overflowing with so many sounds.
I'm not alone.
From the moment that we meet someone else none of us can ever be alone.
We're all connected.
Don't leave me all alone!
Dummy. You have me.
Inside me...
you exist.
No way am I gonna leave you all alone.
Reach her. Reach her.
I'm piling on everything I have...
Reach her. Reach her.
Reach her!
Just kick your illness to the curb!
And then once again...
Together...
Thank you.
Wait...
Please don't go.
Pester me for canelés again!
Call me to kill time again!
I don't care if I'm just Friend A.
Don't go. Don't go.
Please don't go!
Please don't leave me behind!
Goodbye.
If you don't mind please take this.
Thank you.
For making Kaori's life such a full one.
Kousei Arima
Kaori Miyazono
Sumiya Junior High School
Yo!
Dear Kousei Arima.
It feels weird writing you a letter when you were just here with me.
You're an awful person.
Laggard slowpoke dummy.
The first time I ever saw you was when I was five.
It was during the recital for the piano school I was going to back then.
The boy who seemed so awkward and drove the audience to laughter
when he knocked the stool with his hip.
He sat at a piano that was too big for him yet the moment he played that first note...
I idolized him.
Playing notes as colorful as a 24-color palette the melody began to dance.
I did it!
I was totally surprised when the kid next to me burst out crying.
And yet you quit playing the piano.
After influencing my life the way you did
how awful is that?
Daddy! Mommy!
Hey welcome home Kaori!
Are you hungry?
Buy me a violin!
What?
I'm gonna quit piano and play the violin!
What's this all of a sudden?
I want Kousei to play the piano for me!
Awful! Slowpoke! Dummy!
When I found out that we were going to the same junior high I was elated.
How could I find a way to talk to you?
Maybe I'll go buy sandwiches every day?
But in the end all I could do was watch you.
After all you guys were too tightly knit.
There was no space for me to slip into.
Totsuhara University Hospital
I had surgery as a child and was treated regularly as an outpatient.
After I collapsed in seventh grade I was in and out of the hospital repeatedly.
I started spending more time in than out.
I was hardly ever in school by then.
I knew that I wasn't very well.
One night...
when I saw my mother and father crying in the hospital waiting room
I realized that I didn't have much time.
That was the moment.
So I...
ran for it!
I started doing whatever I wanted so I wouldn't bring regrets with me to heaven.
I wore contact lenses which freaked me out.
I ate a whole cake which I'd never done before because I worried about my weight.
Even the music scores that bossed me around so haughtily... I played them my way.
And then...
I told a single lie.
"Kaori Miyazono likes Ryota Watari."
That's the lie I told.
That lie...
would bring before me...
Kousei Arima.
It brought you to me.
Please tell Watari that I'm sorry.
From: Keiko - Can we talk after school?
You two-timer!
Go to hell you cheater!
What's the big deal!? All I did was go out with some girl!
Who needs you?!
Well but still.
I guess it won't take long for Watari to forget all about me.
As a friend he's a fun guy but I'd rather have someone more sincere.
Also please tell Tsubaki that I'm sorry.
I'm just someone who's passing through who'll be gone.
I didn't want to leave behind an awkward mess so I couldn't ask Tsubaki.
Or rather even if I asked her straight up "Please introduce me to Arima"
I don't think Tsubaki would've been okay with that.
After all Tsubaki was so crazy about you.
We'd all known that for a long time.
The only ones who didn't know were you...
and Tsubaki.
Hey Kashiwagi?
Huh?
Um go check on Kousei will you?
Huh?
Ask him if he's eating right.
No way.
What? You're so heartless! So callous!
You're the heartless one. It's super-unnatural.
Don't rely on me. Go yourself!
But Kousei must be... Now that Kao is...
Now that he's lost the person he loves he must be feeling down.
I don't know what I can do for him.
Dummy Tsubaki.
You're such a dummy it wouldn't do any good to rack the brains that you don't even have!
Muscle-for-brains!
Don't you think that's a little too harsh?
I don't think it has to be anything special.
It's all right to just be yourself I bet.
At times like these you don't listen to your head
you listen to your heart.
Where'd you get that perspective on romance?
BL.

The "you" that my sneaky lie brought to me
wasn't who I'd imagined.
You were more negative and passive than I thought
not to mention stubborn relentless and a camera voyeur.
Your voice was lower than I thought and you were more manly than I thought.
And you were just as gentle as I thought.
The river was so cold and felt so good when we jumped off Courage Bridge wasn't it?
The round moon peeking into the music room looked like a delicious steamed bun.
When we raced that train I really thought that we could win.
It was fun singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" together under the shining stars wasn't it?
There's just something about school at night right?
Don't you think snow looks like cherry blossom petals?
To be so consumed by everything off-stage when I'm a musician...
that just doesn't make sense does it?
Look how you've gotten more sensual. You've grown up haven't you?
He's so cool!
N-N-N-Not like I want Arima to play me like a piano all right?
What a cliché!
Isn't it funny how the most unforgettable scenes can be so trivial?
None of it was trivial.
What about you?
Was I able to live inside someone's heart?
Yes you were.
Was I able to live inside your heart?
You barged right in without taking off your shoes.
Do you think... you'll remember me at least a little?
If I ever forgot you...
you'd come back to haunt me.
You'd better not hit the reset button.
As if I ever would.
Don't forget me okay?
Okay.
That's a promise okay?
Okay.
I'm glad it's you after all.
Will I reach you?
I hope I can reach you.
Kousei Arima...
I love you.
Sorry I didn't finish all the canelés.
Sorry I hit you so much.
Sorry I was such a brat.
A million times over...
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
You're so selfish.
I'm the one who should be thanking you.
P.S. I'm enclosing something that I've always treasured.
If you don't want it feel free to tear it up and throw it away.
Yo.
Uh... Um... Uh...
What do you think you're doing!?
Don't even think you can ever be alone Kousei!
I'm gonna stay with you forever and ever like your guardian angel!
Get used to it!
Spring will be here soon.
Spring the season I met you is coming.
A spring without you...
is coming.
Your lie in April
