Character: Okazaki Tomoya

Free time from work became torture. I was wasting money trying to forget. It seemed that everything would collapse, as soon as I look back at the surrounding reality.

The home that was once my family ... is now alien to me. A place I’m unlikely to return to.

- I want to return to those old days.
- ...that's impossible.
- You already know, really... I graduate as soon as I melt this snow, going to work. And when that happens, we go our separate ways. You can go to University and go to some distant city. You'll have new expensive things, and gradually you will change. And that's OK, because it will be another life. You won't notice, being in an unknown distant place, is hard at work. I'll be somewhere on the outskirts of this city, every day, dipped in oil, to work up a sweat. I'll stay here, in this city. Hence, we should not be together.

- I study human emotions. What makes a person happy or what makes a person sad and the like. This school doesn't teach, but it is very important.
- But what will it get you? That doesn't mean that giving happiness to others, you must also be happy?!
- This is what it means. Everything I do for them I do for myself. All coming back to me. As you sow, so shall you reap. So if I cause someone pain, too, will suffer.

- People get hurt. Often they themselves.
- Is this often not a friends fault?
- No, they. Hurting their friends, they themselves suffer. Therefore, we need to get people talking without hurting yourself and others. This can be done by anyone. But no one does.

I hate this town. A town full of memories I want to forget.

There was a time when we were naive, stupid and pure. We all once were.

- Most people have something that does not allow them to stray. You know what could it be?
- Hmm, don't know... Maybe talent? If you have talent, it becomes obvious what you should be doing in life. The same if you have a dream.
- Good examples. But what if you have no talent. After all, fame gain only extraordinary people with great talent. What can ordinary people do?
Love. Love makes a person do exploits.
- However, if your love is not mutual, you will have nothing...
- Perhaps...
Family. It's a family.
Is there any problematic family disagreements and quarrels?
- Yes, of course. Just... it doesn't matter, you blood-relatives or not. Even friends can be your family. I believe that this is the meaning of family.

I live only because alive. Wake up, go to work, eat and sleep. My body just follows the habit... This is my life.

- Hey, do you want any gift?
- He has something against the release?
No, I just suddenly wanted you something to give.
- I cannot accept the gift just.
- Is love not in itself a reason enough?
- Then I'd have every day you get to give gifts.
