I just...wanted someone to talk to...a lot is going through my mind.
It seems the game is about to end, but she's such a nice girl...she doesn't deserve this. But...it's the only way the game will end. I have too. So many people have given everything to try to get us out of here, it would be wrong for me to not give this final bit. Very wrong. I just, I hope she is the traitor, I don't think I can bear to watch any more people die.
I don't...I don't feel like I deserve to be a survivor. After...so many brave people...but I will do my final part.
Also...
[Boldly, Mikuru reaches out and squeezes Itsuki's hand. It was rash, but chances were, the way these things worked, she'd wake up as if from a dream. He probably wouldn't remember...]
Koizumi...I want to...when we go back...to remain friends. I know...we work for different people but after this I realize...some things are more important then that.
Also...before this ends...I want...to thank you for everything.
[A smile appears on Itsuki's face at once. What a relief that she is determined enough to not think about giving up again.]
... like you don't deserve it? But Asahina-san, you are just as brave as the others are. You lived through this after all.
And for Shirogane-san ... I believe that it is admirable to chose death for the benefit of the rest of us. It is what Konata-san did, as well ... It is pitiful to have such strong minded persons killed for this game, but it appears unavoidable.
[His smile softens, but there is also a sudden sadness in his eyes.]
I have to thank you, Asahina-san. Just for being here. ... and for trusting me enough to talk openly like this. It ... means a lot to me.
[He returns the squeeze gently and softly pats her head with his free hand.]
[Kiss her? He actually wanted to-she became more surprised--as she realized what her answer was...she'd suspected it...but she never...never thought he'd actually...]
I would like that very much. But...[Mikuru's face flushes bright red.] I've never kissed anyone before, so I won't be any good. I'm sorry...
[She takes a step foreward] D-don't be sad. I know this will sound silly, and maybe I am...I'm sorry if I do, but even if we don't remember this if we're...meant to be like this, I'm sure we'll find a way. That not even Haruhi could stop us if she wanted to. That's just how it works--well, that's what I think. I could be wrong.
But...I think I'm right. I knew that there was a good reason I wasn't suppose to be Kyon, and it had nothing to do with Haruhi.
[Itsuki grinned. He couldn't help but adore Mikuru's blushing face, thinking it even made her prettier.]
... I am not sad, Asahina-san. I know all that and ... Actually I am very happy to hear you say this. It does really mean a lot to me.
[He kisses the back of her hand, bowing low before her.]
I hope that we will return to be like this. I really hope for it. But ... should it, whatever the reason, not happen, just the thought that we had this moment is enough to give me happiness.
What's wrong?

I...I definitely don't feel brave. Although I don't know anyone here feels brave...we just know what we have to do.
[she closes her eyes and leans her head against Itsuki's shoulder]
At least...it will end soon. No more killing.

Yeah ...
At least it will end soon.
[Both his smile and his voice are not betraying the sadness reflecting in his eyes.]
Asahina-san ...
Would ... would you mind if I kissed you?
[There's no need to hold back when you are running out of time, is there?]

She didn't know what the future held once they got back, whether the memories would remain intact, but that for her too, the moment was enough.
And that no matter what happened from here, she'd have him to help her through it.]
