(Kyou, in his ugly form is still alone in the woods. He hears his late mother’s voice.)
Mother: Kyou… Did something happen again?
What’s wrong? Did Akito say something to you?
It’s alright.
Because I… only I love you.
Because I love you so.
You’re perfectly human…
(Flashback…)
Mother: It’s alright. It doesn’t scare me at all.
Kyou: No.
It really did scare you didn’t it?
You were always checking to see if my beads were on.
Mother: I’m so proud of you son.
Kyou: So why wouldn’t you take me outside?
Mother: You’re so cute. I can’t show you to anyone.
Kyou: It must have been really difficult.
Mother: No. I love you! I would even die for you.
Kyou: Why were you always saying those things?
You wouldn’t even look at the real me.
All you said were those motherly words.

(Tohru clings on Kyou’s arm, trying her best to be heard.)
Tohru: I really… I don’t have the strength.
I’m scared that Kyou-kun is scary.
But… but… from now on… together… together…
I want to be with you.
Eating meals with you.
Studying with you.
Be worried together.
I want you to hear what I want to say.
I’ll take the bad with the good.
That’s why…
I want to be with you.
(Kyou returns to him human form.)
Kyou: It’s okay if you can’t love everything… if you were scared…
Fear is proof that you’ve looked at the real me.
Mother… kept it a secret and wouldn’t even look at it.
I thought about it all my life, wanting to be troubled.
It’s okay to be selfish… if you don’t love my ugly body.
Even so, you still want to be with me.
(Kyou looks lovingly at Tohru.)
Kyou: I thought… I thought… (Kyou pulls Tohru closer to him.)
Nobody… nobody would say that.
(He whispers to her ear.) Tohru… Tohru…
(Kyou transforms into his cute, orange cat form and rests peacefully and Tohru’s lap.)
Kyou: Why are you saying the one thing I want to hear most?
With is someone love you with me?
crying for me?
Why?

Kyou:(to Kazuma) I… It’s not much now.
But someday… I’ll be someone…
who will be worthy to call you father!

Tohru: It must be painful, Akito-san.
To be surrounded by death since you were born.
It must have been so…
Akito: What?! What do you understand?!
Tohru: Yes… but… it’s a fear I can’t imagine.
Scared…
Shigure-san, Yuki-kun and Kyou-kun must be scared.
Even Hatori-san.
They will be sad if you pass away.
It will be incredibly sad.
So…
Akito: Who is sad? Everyone owes me thier lives.
They must want me to go as soon as possible.
I was born to die.
That’s how it is.
Tohru: Why? Who decided that?!
Akito-san, aren’t you living right now?
Akito: Living. Are you telling me this is living?
That’s… that’s just how it is!
I never even asked for this.
Tohru: I… I didn’t know when my mother died – -
Akito: Silence! Don’t speak!
Katori, erase this woman’s memory right now! Hatori!
Tohru: I wanted her to live forever.
I wanted her to see me.
Akito: Don’t cry… stop it… don’t cry!
Tohru: I don’t know much about the curse.
But I… am glad to meet you, Akito-san.
I’ll never regret meeting any of you.
Tell me more… about your feelings.
It’s alright if you get angry.
Even though it might be hard…
Your feelings… you are… … alive …
Akito: I don’t understand.

Hatori: We can probably still find it.
Shigure: What are we searching for? Can we decide?
Hatori: It’s not up to us. It’s for them.
Shigure: You’re right. Shall we go then?

Tohru: Mother, did you see it?
Although there are times that makes me want to cry, I’m walking.
Everyone’s walking forward,
to a place far away from here.

GOOD LUCK IN FINDING THE PLACE
WHERE YOU BELONG!
