Emi's route: Difference between revisions

The morning passes and lunchtime arrives. Hisao has decided how he is going to do things as he heads towards the roof, expecting only Rin. Instead he finds out that Emi came to the roof before him, foiling his plans. Emi apologizes for sleeping in and missing the morning run and the two begin to awkwardly converse. Hisao attempts to invite Emi somewhere after school but fails as she says she promised to help the [[Track team|track club]] after school. With that, Hisao begins to have indecisive thoughts as he never gets the right opportunity to confront her. Days keep on passing and Hisao feels worse as he sees a tired and distracted Emi.

One lunchtime Hisao finds Rin alone on the roof. Being the first time that Emi isn't here, he begins to worry about her condition even more. Asking Rin where Emi is, she answers back with a confusing answer. They continue to have this awkward conversation until Emi finally arrives, with her usual energy. Before anyone could speak, Rin announces that that she is going somewhere less awkward. This surprises both Emi and Hisao due to Rin's sudden straightforwardness. As Rin leaves the roof, Hisao explains to Emi that he was worried but Emi replies by saying that it isn't unusual. This annoys Hisao, bringing him to mention how he's worried ever since that night. Emi shows her discomfort of the subject but states that he had a week to bring it up. He apologizes about that but quickly starts speculating if he's been the cause of Emi's distractions lately. Emi denies it but Hisao admits that he hasn't helped her either, this makes Emi think that they should stop being together. Hisao sees her reluctance in saying that and starts saying that he will help her no matter what. Emi wants him to stop helping her but Hisao wouldn't let up, he continues to press on, nearly making Emi break down. She asks why he is so determined to help, and he replies by confessing his love towards her. This finally makes Emi break down, hugging Hisao as she bursts to tears answering back his feelings. After a while, Hisao manages to calm her down. Emi then invites him back to her house again tomorrow, Hisao accepting her offer. The lunch bell rings and Emi leaves the roof with a kiss. Hisao also leaves the roof, feeling better than he ever has before. The scene ends and continues on with the beginning of the normal route of Act 4 the next day.

After the events that went on the week before, Hisao wakes up to meet Emi at the track for their morning run. Emi is at the track waiting for Hisao. She is very impatient and wanting to get started. She tells Hisao that they are going to see her Dad today. Shocked, Hisao is supportive and agrees. They head to the nurse and get checked out and head for the bus station. When they get to the bus station Emi tries to open up to Hisao, but can't get the words out. Hisao does not push her and agrees to wait as long as she needs. Once they get off the bus Hisao follows Emi to her mom's house. They enter and are welcomed by a hearty meal prepared by Meiko. They eat their fill and Emi's mom then gets them ready to head out. Meiko drives Hisao and Emi to the cemetery. Once they are in front of the cemetery Emi seems to tense up. Hisao takes her hand and squeezes it, reassuring her and she relaxes. Meiko does not accompany them when walking into the graveyard. Thoughts race through Hisao's mind while walking with Emi, she has a fast pace, wanting to get where there are going in a timely fashion. Emi announces they have arrived and they stand on opposite sides of a  tombstone engraved with a name and no other markings. Emi doesn't say anything for a brief moment, until saying that her favorite color is not pink, she continues about how most people think that her favorite color is pink. She tells Hisao that her favorite color is blue and that only her mother and father had known that. Emi then completely opens up to Hisao, saying that eight years ago today, she lost her legs and her father, in which Hisao tries to say that he is sorry, but she does not want to hear that, as everyone has said that to her. Emi says she is tired of hearing it, it is not like those people could have changed what happened to her or her father. Hisao goes to embrace her, she stops him, and continues what she is saying how when the accident happened the doctors thought that she was going to be paralyzed. When the doctors pulled her out she had already lost her legs. When Emi got to the hospital, she couldn't feel her legs because of shock, and only had temporary paralysis. It took her two months to visit the grave, she wasn't even able to attend the memorial service. Emi then tells Hisao that he was not her first boyfriend, and she ended up breaking up with that boyfriend because she didn't want to get to close to him. Emi then realizes that living life to the fullest doesn't just have to be by herself. She thanks Hisao for going with her and is very happy she met him. The two head back to Yamaku and Hisao is about to take his leave, until Emi invites him up to her dorm. The two head up the stairs and go into her room. Hisao and Emi both know what is going to happen.

Hisao and Emi just had intimacy between each other and then they fall asleep. The next morning Hisao wakes up in Emi's bed with Emi curled up next to him. Hisao makes a remark about how small the bed is, which he does not mind at all. Emi then wakes up and is so happy that Hisao is still there next to her. She explains how that was the best she had slept ever, no nightmares or anything. She then asks about what they are going to do today. Keeping their relationship to go on, and start molding their life together.
