Wh-What is this place...?
It looks like a station platform...
There's even a train and a set of tracks...
It's really something, isn't it?
I was just as surprised the first time I came here.
Also, if you look carefully here and there, you'll notice a few odd things.
Odd things?
Oh...
This train has no destination...
Same with the electronic bulletin board...
Exactly.
And look where the tracks go.
Huh? Oh...!
They extend out towards that starry sky...!
That's incredible! It's like you can ride this train to the stars...!
Oh.
I didn't realize you were here, Honami.
Oh, Len!
I didn't know you'd be here.
Yeah, I came to see what this new area's all about.
Yes, I see.
Still, why did it appear out of the blue like this...?
I don't have any specifics... But I think it has to do with you and the others' feelings, Honami.
After all, this SEKAI was born out of them.
Our feelings...?
But what feelings would those be...?
No idea. It may have to do with something that you and the others haven't realized yet.
Something we haven't realized...?
Huh...?
Hm? What's up, MEIKO?
I think I see some people on the other platform. It looks like...
Huh?
...?!
(Isn't that me...?! And Ichika...?!)
(I think they're talking about something...)
I'm sorry, Ichika...
Please don't talk to me at school anymore.
What...?
What? Why don't you want to talk to me?
I already made up with my classmates, so you don't have to worry about me. Okay?
Honami, I don't get it... Wait!
Ichika...!
Ichika, wait! It's not what you think!
Huh...?! Honami?!
(I don't know what our past selves are doing over there...!)
(I have no idea...)
(But I don't want Ichika to look so sad!!)
(I have to get over to that platform.)
Ichika!
Huff... Huff...
She's gone...
Ichika! Where are you?!
No...
I don't want her to feel that way...
Ichika!!
What you said to me then made me so happy!!
I'd become an outcast in class...!
And I absolutely dreaded going to school each day...!
But you worked up the courage to come talk to me. You showed genuine concern...!
You don't know how happy that made me!!
And yet...
I couldn't find the same courage...
I'm sorry...!
I'm so sorry, Ichika...!!!
Honami...!
Len, MEIKO...
I... I...
Honami, look over there.
Huh?
There. The other platform.
The other...
Oh...
(Ichika... She's smiling...?)
(That day, I caused Ichika a lot of pain...)
(I can't change that fact.
And I can't ask for her forgiveness...)
(But...)
(I can change the future.
If I can learn to become stronger, be more courageous and know when to act...)
(I'll be able to do more for everyone next time.)
I want to protect them...
See? I was right.
Huh?
You've become so strong.
You're able to put into words what you couldn't back then.
Oh...
So, there's no need for you to worry or feel scared.
Just keep moving straight forward.
You'll become stronger and lead everyone in the right direction.
MEIKO...
Thank you!!
(She's right...)
(I've been able to become stronger bit by bit thanks to the others in Leo/need and everyone here in SEKAI...)
(I'm sure there'll be plenty more tough times and moments when I question myself in the future...)
(But I'm going to become stronger.)
(Because I want to keep moving forward with everyone...!!)
