Final Route, Chapter 11: Moon and Ocean

Serious talk with You!

I will here assume that stealing grapes from the supermarket doesn't count.

>No.

You says that she ~~performed human alchemy~~ 'turned her back on God'.

She will carry this sin for the rest of her life.

She seems happier this way, though.

This way, 'she' wont' be punished.

But who is 'she'?

...?

They are sisters.

And yet, they are one and the same.

They are--

--twins!

Didn't I tell you that, You?

If you know anything at all about how twins work, you'd know that it had to be fraternal.

Anyway, what were we talking about?

Right, the reason I'm no good with computers even though Sara is a world class hacker.

The only trait we really share is our infravision.

To recap, we're here after learning a bunch of confusing, contradictory information from Sora.

Yoichi, You's father, died 17 years ago.
Yukie, You's mother, died 15 years ago.
But You's mother was still around for the past 15 years.

You and Sara tried every variation on the haiku that they could think of for a password, to no avail.

When I couldn't see into the past with my magic time powers, You declared me useless for not having any computer knowhow despite being related to Sara.

And that brings us back to the present!

H-Hokutan.

Please don't call me that.

No matter how true it is, I can't get myself to think of Hokuto as MY name.

I'd rather just stick with Kid.

A single word slips unconsciously out of me at this line of discussion.

"Identification..."

What what what WHAT?

You made a breakthrough!

It wasn't the password they had wrong. It was the identification!

We were logging into the wrong account!

So we just need to figure out You's mother's real name!

And Sora should know!

Wait...

Her mother's name...

...name...

The empty fall sky
A single cuckoo calls out
Brings a chill to me

Is there another meaning here I'm missing?

There's someone in the ruins.

I can't see them, but they're giving off heat.

A haiku--

--a haiku?

Coco says she was talking, not to me, but to a LIFEFORM IN ANOTHER DIMENSIOOOON.

You so crazy.

Oh, no, I've seen where this road leads.

I am not going to play Inchworm with you. I am going back to sleep.

Yes.

That is what is going to happen.

She wants a lullaby before she goes to bed!

And she wants it to be this song.

What a nice song. She says that she calls it the Moon and Ocean Lullaby, and her mom taught it to her.

Wait a minute.

Tsugumi said that her name is written with the characters for moon and ocean.

So when you say mommy, you mean...

You learned it from--

--Tsugumi?

But only Sara and I know that song...
