Act 3: His Situation
In Arima's past memory. Little Arima is crying in a dark room. It rains outside.
Yukino found Arima's attitude has changed. His attitude to her became cold in these days
Their relationship was very friendly 2 weeks ago. Arima suggested to study together in his and her house.
Yukino came to Arima's house. His house was big and his parents were very nice and gentle. Yukino said to Arima that his parents were very nice. Arima did not know how to reply to it.
After that, Arima came to Yukino's house. Her house and family was typical common citizen. Her father and mother were easy going person. And her sisters were very noisy and pretty. Yukino was a bit ashamed but at the same time, but she enjoyed it.
Until that visiting, Yukino and Arima has stayed together a long time. But now his attitude became cold. Yukino found it to be "Rejection". Yukino started wondering what she had done to him. Yukino found out how ignorant she was. She had never had real friend since she had shown her real face and tried to make her look just nice.
At home, her little sister Kano told her, "This is the first time for you in selfabhorrence. You also haven't encountered your weakness and the existence of Boyfriend. Be optimistic! You are learning a lot since you met Arima." Yukino wondered how Arima's situation is. He also has typical common teenager's character in himself. But he never showed it to anyone besides Yukino, and just was perfect in front of others. He is not vain person not like Yukino. Then, why he need to be perfect?
One day, in school, Yukino asked Arima. " You have something you need to say to me." But Arima said "Nothing special." and tried to leave. Yukino grabbed his arm and said "You have to stay!" Arima shouted. "Leave me alone!".
In Arima's past memory, his father beat him up. Arima sighs "That is only memory I have about my father." Little Arima was crying. And a man and a woman came to him and said to him. "Please come with me." Arima's perfect mask dropped to the floor,..
At that night, Yukino swore to herself to revenge him. "I will also ignore him!." Her counter measure was childish,... In Arima's memory, he was crying with sitting the corner of dark room. The door opened and a woman came to him. "What's wrong? Oh, you got piee." The woman's hand were reaching to him. Little Arima wondered what would be happened. The hand touched him and brought him to her room.
Arima : "The hand did not beat me. The new mother and father held me and slept with me. Why were tears coming out. Why I am sad and touched. It came together fears and peace. What about Yukino? She is also giving me fears and peace."
After the school, Arima came to Yukino. Yukino tried to ignore him, but Arima started confessing his past. Arima's real father and mother were terrible people, and his new father is his real father's elder brother. His real parents disappeared, and left a big bad debut to their relatives. All relatives beside his new parents blamed Arima, "He will be bad like his father."
Arima said to Yukino, "I must be perfect for my nice new parents, and for my own pride. However, since you came, you were changing me. You peared into my perfect mask. Then, I was scared what I would find behind my musk." Yukino said to Arima "If you found your real face, it should be a nice thing!." Arima shouted, "What are you going to do if my real face is terrible as like my real parents? I must be nice for my new parents, more ever to myself!" Yukino came to him, and said "You really love your new parents. But if you did not show your real face, you cannot be real family. They knew your weakness, your bad face but they still love you. That means real family, real friends. "
Yukino said to herself "I really love this person. He cannot help hurting himself in order to protect his loving people." And all of a sudden Yukino gave strong punch into his face.
Arima: "What are you doing!"
Yukino: "See, this is real Arima. Don't be worried, you are nice guy. The real Arima has been wishing to come out, and he found my real face. That is a great thing that happened to us. I decided that I would not pretend to be a fine student anymore. What about you, Arima?"
Arima: "I am lucky to meet you."
After that, they became real friends. They have same purpose "Being himself." At that time, Arima said to Yukino " I have one thing I like in myself. I found you were weird and more weird, but still I liked you."
