A: "Understood. I'll believe in myself." B: "I'll try, but I'm not very confident."
YUKARI: "Alright, alright. Guess I'm the only one who can bring her home..."
YUKARI: "As long as I believe in that, I should be fine, right?"
CHISATO: "Yes."
YUKARI: "I got this. That girl always listens to me when I tell her to do something."
YUKARI: "It's fine... It's all good..."
CHISATO: "Yukari, do your best!"
A: "Sakura Himegami! Give us Mika back!" B: "Mika, what do you think you're doing?!" C: "Mika, that girl is dangerous!"
A: "Sakura Himegami! Give us Mika back!" B: "Mika, what do you think you're doing?!" [X] C: "Mika, that girl is dangerous!"
YUKARI: "Mika! What the hell are you doing over there! We've been searching for you everywhere!"
YUKARI: "Get your ass back here, so we can go home already!"
CHISATO: "Yukari, you should be more gentle...
MIKA: "Oh shit...! See? They're definitely mad at me!"
MIKA: "I'm sorry, Sakura, but I really have to go now."
SAKURA: "Don't say that!"
SAKURA: "Oh, Mika..."
SAKURA: "Do you hate me?"
MIKA: "No... It's not like I hate you or anything, I just..."
YUKARI: "Why is that Sakura so important to her anyway?"
CHISATO: "I don't know..."
CHISATO: "But Mika seems lost. As long as we don't do something about that, she won't be able to get out of there."
YUKARI: "Jeez, that idiot!"
A: "Chisato, please take over." B: "Sakura Himegami! Give us Mika back!" C: "Mika, stop wasting our time!" D: "Mika, that girl is dangerous!"
A: "Chisato, please take over." B: "Sakura Himegami! Give us Mika back!" C: "Mika, stop wasting our time!" [X] D: "Mika, that girl is dangerous!"
YUKARI: "Mika! Stop wasting our time, or I won't ever hang out with you again!"
MIKA: "To hear her say something like that..."
MIKA: "This is really bad... What should I do?!"
SAKURA: "My dear Mika..."
SAKURA: "Don't get swayed."
MIKA: "Hnngh..."
YUKARI: "It still isn't working?!"
CHISATO: "I feel like it will be hard to persuade Mika, as long as she doesn't firmly understand that Sakura is actually not human like us..."
YUKARI: "I see..."
A: "Mika, that girl is dangerous!" B: "Sakura Himegami! Give us Mika back!" C: "Chisato, please take over."
A: "Mika, that girl is dangerous!" [X] B: "Sakura Himegami! Give us Mika back!" C: "Chisato, please take over."
YUKARI: "Mika, listen to me! Sakura is not a normal girl!"
YUKARI: "She's dangerous!"
MIKA: "Yukari, what are you saying! That's super rude, considering Sakura is right here with me!"
MIKA: "Right, Sakura?"
MIKA: "Sakura...?"
YUKARI: "Shit!"
YUKARI: "Is she doubting me now...?"
CHISATO: "No, I don't think Mika is starting to doubt you."
CHISATO: "No one knows better than Sakura that you're telling the truth."
CHISATO: "And it seems that she is actually not able to deny what you said."
YUKARI: "......"
CHISATO: "Yukari, you need to tell Mika more about Sakura."
CHISATO: "I fear it will be painful for Mika, though..."
YUKARI: "Got it..."
A: "What reason is there to still hesitate, Mika?" B: "Mika, Sakura wants to kill you!" C: "Mika, you cannot save Sakura!"
[Sorry, I was thinking for quite a while about what to choose here... Didn't realise it took me this long. :D]
A: "What reason is there to still hesitate, Mika?" B: "Mika, Sakura wants to kill you!" C: "Mika, you cannot save Sakura!"
A: "What reason is there to still hesitate, Mika?" B: "Mika, Sakura wants to kill you!" C: "Mika, you cannot save Sakura!" [X]
YUKARI: "Mika, listen. Sakura is already dead..."
CHISATO: "Yukari, no! That's too blunt!"
MIKA: "Stop it, Yukari... What is wrong with you!"
MIKA: "Sakura is right here, isn't she?!"
MIKA: "She always replied to my messages on the desk! It's hard to find a girl as nice as her in this day and age! Talking to her in person has convinced me even more of that."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "Hard to find... in this day and age...?"
SAKURA: "Oh, Mika..."
YUKARI: "Mika, for the time being it might make Sakura happy that you're there with her."
YUKARI: "But what good will that do in the long run? It'll solve nothing!"
CHISATO: "Yukari!"
YUKARI: "No, let me speak my mind."
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "Sakura. You must be aware of this yourself!"
YUKARI: "For now, this might be fine."
YUKARI: "Mika never thinks too deeply about anything, so you might be able to deceive her for a while."
YUKARI: "But are you really okay with that?"
YUKARI: "How is what you're doing now any different from what others did to you?!"
[I think what Yukari means is: By forcing Mika to stay in Sakura's world, Sakura would sacrifice Mika's life just so that she herself could gain happiness from it.]
MIKA: "Stop! Stop it!"
MIKA: "Stop being mean to her!"
MIKA: "Sakura... It's all a lie, isn't it?"
MIKA: "Cause I refuse to believe that you're dead..."
MIKA: "Yukari, you're just jealous, because I'm hanging out with someone else..."
MIKA: "Come on, Sakura, deny it already! Say, it's a lie!"
MIKA: "Sakura!"
A: "This is an order! Come back now!" B: "You have to decide! Us or her!"
A: "This is an order! Come back now!" B: "You have to decide! Us or her!" [X]
YUKARI: "Mika, this is the last time I'm telling you to come back! Now it's up for you to decide!"
YUKARI: "Who is more important to you? Her? Or me?"
YUKARI: "Which one is it? What's your decision?!"
MIKA: "That's... How on earth could I decide something like that...!"
MIKA: "I mean... You don't exactly have the best personality of the year!"
SAKURA: "That's enough..."
MIKA: "Hm?"
SAKURA: "I apologise."
SAKURA: "I..."
SAKURA: "I was only thinking of myself..."
SAKURA: "I have met with this terrible fate..."
SAKURA: "And it has made me so terribly lonely..."
SAKURA: "You don't know the truth, Mika, but I should know best that keeping you here would make you terribly lonely, too..."
MIKA: "......"
SAKURA: "What your friend is saying is true."
SAKURA: "I have..."
SAKURA: "...died a long time ago."
MIKA: "I... I don't wanna hear any of that..."
MIKA: "I don't wanna hear it!"
SAKURA: "You're so kind, my dear Mika..."
SAKURA: "But..."
SAKURA: "That is why..."
SAKURA: "...you... shouldn't stay here with us."
MIKA: "Why..."
MIKA: "I want to be with you... With both of you! With my friends, but also with you, Sakura!"
MIKA: "I don't see the problem! Just come back home together with us!"
MIKA: "Just come with us, Sakura..."
SAKURA: "The wind rises… We must try to live." [She quotes «The Wind Rises» again.]
SAKURA: "Mika, you need to go back to the place where you belong."
SAKURA: "If you do that, the time that has stopped here will start moving again, too."
MIKA: "What do you mean by that?"
SAKURA: "We will be freed from here."
SAKURA:"Unable to escape our own destiny... our lives cursed from the very beginning..."
SAKURA: "Imprisoned by the grief we bear, with nowhere to go..."
SAKURA: "We were bound to this place, incapable of leaving... But..."
MIKA: "Sakura... Let's go away from here..."
MIKA: "Together..."
SAKURA: "That's not possible."
MIKA: "Sakura..."
SAKURA: "Mika... I..."
SAKURA: "I wanted to live a much longer life."
SAKURA: "I wanted a life filled with so many things I could still do."
SAKURA: "A life like yours."
MIKA: "......"
SAKURA: "Have you come to hate me now?"
MIKA: "Why..."
MIKA: "Why are you asking such a thing?"
MIKA: "I came here to meet you, didn't I?!"
MIKA: "You're the reason I came here for!"
MIKA: "I... I myself decided that I wanted to meet you and that is why I'm here!"
MIKA: "Why would I hate you now?"
MIKA: "I mean... You're such a kind person..."
MIKA: "......"
SAKURA: "Thank you."
SAKURA: "You've shown that you care about us and came here of your own free will..."
SAKURA: "Thanks to you, we..."
MIKA: "That's not true..."
MIKA: "I didn't do anything..."
SAKURA: "Please keep us in your heart, will you?"
SAKURA: "Never forget about our friendship..."
MIKA: "... Of course not!"
MIKA: "How could I possibly forget! There's no way..."
[By the way: This right here is part of the melody that the girl had played on the piano who had hanged herself in the previous game!]
SAKURA: "Thank you..."
SAKURA: "And... I'm sorry."
SAKURA: "Please tell your friends as well that I am sorry..."
MIKA: "Sakura!"
YUKARI: "What happened...? What's going on?!"
CHISATO: "I'm not sure... I feel an emotion amongst all those girls' spirits getting stronger and stronger, but... this time it's not sadness..."
YUKARI: "What's happening...?"
YUKARI: "Mika... Mika!"
CHISATO: "Yukari, stay back!"
YUKARI: "Mika..."
YUKARI: "Mika!!"
*scream*
MIKA: "Farewell..."
YUKARI: "Hey, Chisato. Don't you think Mika has been acting strange ever since that incident?"
CHISATO: "Hm?"
YUKARI: "To be honest... My memory of that evening is kind of fuzzy."
YUKARI: "But ever since, Mika has been strangely... how should I put it... docile?"
YUKARI: "Like she's thinking real hard about something."
CHISATO: "I guess so..."
CHISATO: "But... yesterday I met her after my club activities and she seemed perfectly normal again."
CHISATO: "Said something about having obtained an interesting new rumour and how we should decide on an evening where we can check it out together."
YUKARI: "What?? So she's already recovered?"
YUKARI: "Had me worried for nothing..."
CHISATO: "Being able to get back on her feet so quickly... That's her strong point, don't you think?"
YUKARI: "I'm not so sure, if we should praise that..."
MIKA: "There! You! Are!"
MIKA: "That typical rude look on your face suits you as always, Yukari."
YUKARI: "What do you want now?"
YUKARI: "Let me guess, it's about some half-assed rumour again."
MIKA: "What do you mean, half-assed!"
MIKA: "I'll have you know, my sources of information are always top-notch!"
YUKARI: "......"
MIKA: "What's with the dumbfounded look on your face?"
YUKARI: "I'm just awestruck by your recuperativeness."
MIKA: "What's there to be surprised about?"
MIKA: "We're still young!"
MIKA: "What's past is past. Look back on it all you want, but there's no use in crying over it, I always say!"
YUKARI: "Eh... Okay..."
MIKA: "Huh? Could it be... You were worried about me?"
YUKARI: "......! Don't get cocky now!"
YUKARI: "Chisato, let's go!"
CHISATO: "H-huh?! Uh... okay..."
MIKA: "What the... Hey, wait for me!"
MIKA: "Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"Mika?"
"Farewell..."
