A young girl is drying her futons in the garden of her house while thinking about how she never experienced the feeling of sleeping in a real bed even though she keeps her futons properly clean by washing and drying them in the bright Sun she still never sleeps on a futon that was laid on the bed just thinking about the bed makes her excited and curious about how it will finally be when she finally gets a chance to sleep Properly inside the room she is in deep thought when someone calls her forcing her to come back
to reality she quickly apologizes for spacing out while the other girl just takes out her hand from under the quilt saying that she is too tired to go out again today the girl instantly understands the instructions and starts getting ready for the day when she returns to the room after freshening up the girl from under the C asks her about breakfast she starts Listing all the items available for breakfast including Japanese white rice salmon filet and miso soup but is interrupted when the other girl finally sits up in bed telling her to stop she comments
how it must be amazing that she can get rid of all the pain by just letting out some blood the first girl doesn't say anything in reply just silently agreeing with her once she is ready for school she returns to the young girl who is back under her Quil And asks her about her smartphone after taking the cell phone from her the girl tells her to be careful while she is away and then leaves the house while traveling to the school the girl's thoughts are swirling around how she is just a replica of the girl
named Sono iawa when Sonna was just 7 years old she created her own replica that looked exactly like her and and even had a similar voice as a replica her job is to attend school in place of the original Sonow no one at the school has figured that she is just a copy of another girl and the real sonow is sleeping peacefully in her room there is no way that they will ever find out about this secret the replica sonel packs her bag after the class ends and is planning to go to her Club when
she notices that today is her turn to clean the Blackboard to fulfill her Duty she cleans the board when someone from behind says that he will help her or Else it will be a difficult task sunno looks to the side and finds her classmate Sonata standing there she is worried that he will be busy with his basketball Club but Sonata assures her that he is not attending any Club right now when she keeps staring at him Sonata tells her to focus on cleaning instead of talking and sonow quickly returns to the task at hand once
they are finished cleaning Sonata quickly leaves the classroom ignoring Sun's hesitantly Murmured thank you soon sonow was standing alone in the classroom and is thinking about how Sonata helped her clean the board when she was struggling to do it on her own looking into sno's memories she can tell that Sonata returned to school just two days ago and since he is an expert at cleaning the Blackboard her cleaning Duty ended very well sunno feels bad about getting help from Sonata since she can't recall if she visited him in the hospital soon After that she finally
goes to her literature Club where her Junior richen welcomes her richen instantly points out how she feels like saying morning is very formal so now argues that hello will look more reserved and it is still not time for a good evening Rich and simply agrees with her and then changes the topic asking soow to read the story she is currently working on taking the pages from her sunow silently reads them for a few minutes until ricken Approaches her and asks her opinion on a specific part she says that it must be difficult for everyone to
understand because it is pisas and asks if she should write something else instead Soo asks if by writing the double she is pointing at something that has two sides richen replies that she is right and continues that she feels like saying Doppel ganger is not appropriate because in this case the person doesn't die instantly after seeing their original While reading the story so just keeps thinking about the part where it mentions having another duplicate figure who has a separate identity ricken is nervously waiting for her feedback and asked to be told everything because she doesn't
want soone to think badly about her agreeing with her request soow slams the papers on the table and says that it will be a little difficult for the readers to understand this she shares her detailed opinion with richon who Seems satisfied with the feedback and tells her to read again some other time sunno then asks her if the clubs will take a break from the next week to which richen replies that she is right she then asks her Junior if she will still visit the club room and rchen replies that the club room is the
best place for the study soon she goes back to fussing over the story complaining how she can't find a good name for her her female lead suddenly recalling something she asks Now Senpai if she has ever written a novel in her life a little sheepish Soo tells her that she doesn't have any talent for writing while thinking about how she will never be able to write anything under any circumstances it makes her wonder what the original sunno would do in this situation even though she knows she can't ask her but she is just curious about
it sometimes she gets the flashback of the day when she was first created back then she didn't want To join a children's play dat at any cost she asked her replica to take her place at the community center and do makeup with richen following the instructions the replica was dressed identically to her and then went to the community center the original sunow has explained to her how even though they look identical the new entity is called a replica this was the reason that despite being similar in their physical and biological level there was a Significant
difference when it came to their sense of distance every time she was born as a replica she had new memories from Sun life when she reads the novel it makes her feel the same way when she is looking into the original sin's memories any event that has a strong impact on Seno's life feels like reading a well organized and structured text while the letters that are distorted are very difficult to read for her the memories that are based on her Emotions like the things that make her happy or sad are very clear the only things
that she can't fully understand are those that the original Soo doesn't like very much as time passed and the school year started nearing its end she realized how she was failing badly in her class seeing her worried about the studies the replica asked if she wanted her help and the original so instantly agreed telling her to take a test in her place the routine continues as the Replica son has made up with so's friend after she fought with them she took tests in her place and G good results she went mountain climbing ran marathons and
even participated in the shuttle run test it is only for Sona that she exists in this world and everything she does is for her original identity despite being a replica she has all the basic needs of a human like feeling hungry or sleepy but whenever sonow said that's enough she would disappear this Was why Sono didn't care much about her well-being and she never got a chance to eat breakfast most of the time she eats lunch and even gets sweet if senel was feeling generous but she never had dinner she never once celebrated her birthday
and she doesn't even know that she likes those daily furri cake rice seasoning packets the original so now despised exercising and didn't have any interest in studying but her replica has come to like both of the things if Sono Wasn't the way she is now there was no reason for her replica to be here the next day when replica Sono goes to her Club room she finds richen sitting on the chair with her head on the table while sweating profusely she mumbles a reply to son's good morning and then says how if they had money
she would buy a new phone for their Club she continues that it will be very difficult for them if they request help from the school and then asks if they should make a plan for Tackling the club expense since Sona was just a replica she never received any kind of money as a child she unexpectedly got some cash by helping out with cleaning and laundry which was the only time she had money without stealing it from anyone oblivious to her internal monologue ricken continues how she went to the electronic store to find a cheap fan
and the cheapest one will be 1,000 yen son now was surprised to hear the low price instantly calculating how She just needs 10 coins of 50 yen to Bear the half expense of the fan she is trying to figure out the conversion rate of 50 coins when there is a knock on the door they are both surprised by the unexpected visitor but tell the person to come inside sonow was startled to see Sonata K walking in so when he says that he wants to join the club she stupidly asks who he is talking about he
repeats that he himself wants to join the club asking if they have any conditions for Joining their club and if they don't let any new people join their Club so now struggles to come up with a proper reply but rickin saves her as she quickly comes forward saying that they warmly welcome anyone who wants to join the club she tells him that only two members are in this club and then asks now sene to fill out the admission form for her she follows the order quickly but is so nervous that she forgets about the place
of admission forms until richen points To the Shelf where the forms are after putting in some effort she finally finds the admission form and nervously hands it to Sonata they both sit around a table as fills out his admission form and is formally welcomed into the club by richen later that day Sonata and sonel go to submit the form to their Professor but don't find her Soo suggests that they should just put the form on the table and as they are doing so other Teachers glare at them harshly both of them quickly leave the room
and sonel nervously apologizes for disturbing them she is still feeling a little shaken but Sonata doesn't say anything about it and instead asks is she is a with them going to the library for a short while soon both of them are standing in the library as son asks her classmate if he likes books Sonata casually replies that they are fine soow starts telling him how in the club she mostly reads books With richicken the other girl at the club who is also writing her own novel she regularly reads the novel that richicken is writing and
gives her feedback on the story listening to her explanation Sonata is a little concerned about how he never tried writing anything in his life and is wondering if this is something they have to do in the club Now quickly assures him that there is no such competition at their club and Rick and just independently sends her Novels to literary competitions she further explains that they publish a club journal for the cultural festival and last year they only printed a snippet of her opinion on the literature normally they publish novels poems journalism and essays in their
Journal once she finishes her explanation Sonata comments how she looks very invested in her Club activities even though she looks like the girl who always visits the gym just to drool at the guys Nervously scratching her head son out replies that he is not entirely wrong Sonata doesn't comment on it further and instead asks what book she is looking for so now suggests that they should instead find a book for him to read and Sonata instantly agrees with her even asking for recommendations at her question Sonata tells her that he doesn't have any preferences soow
instead asks if he has been inspired by any poem or story in his Japanese Language book adding how people without any aspiration are stupid realizing her mistake she quickly clarifies that she has read this in a story and it was from natsumi's kamoro she finally finds the book she was searching for and gives it to him so he can read it requesting him to share his opinion about the book with her after selecting the book they return to the club room where richen welcomes them with the news that their fan broke she looks devastated as
she complains About how they are going to die because of the excessive heat both the girls are mourning over the loss of a fan when son offers that he can bring a fan they can't believe his words until he repeats that they have a spare fan at home and he can bring it here finally coming out of her shock rickin says how he is a lifesaver but she is still a little concerned once Sonata assures them that he has no issue bringing the fan here so now sincerely thanks him for helping Them he starts to
blush a little as he replies that there is no need to thank him and Son also starts to blush at his answer their moan is broken when ricken suddenly asks what they are going to do with the old fan since it will be considered oversizes garbage she suggests that they should tell Professor aai about it so now suggests that they should hold a memorial service for the fan and richen instantly agrees with her they both sit in front of the fan saying Their last words of thank you for helping them in extreme conditions they wish
the fan a peaceful afterlife but their prayer is interrupted when Sonata asks what they are doing turning toward him they both say in unison that they are paying respect to the fan and without wasting any moment he also bids farewell to the fan seeing his actions warms both of their hearts and they officially welcome him to their literature Club the next day at home the Original son is furious when she returns from school and asks the replica what is happening when she acts oblivious soow starts to get angry and asks why Sonata is suddenly talking
to him about electric fans and other weird stuff that she has no idea about the replica explains that she isn't hiding anything deliberately and it is just that he is the new member of their literature Club seeing s's confused reaction she further explained that she didn't know why Sonata joined the club but he formally signed everything after that the fan in their Club room broke so he offered to bring a spare one from his house she continues how the fan the club room was very old and shares how richen told her that they could even
buy a new one at a very cheap price soow is not happy with her explanation scolding her for being too involved in all this the replica instantly realizes that she said something inappropriate and quickly Apologizes for her mistakes she adds that she doesn't exist in reality so as long as she's doing well at school she is sure that so will be happy the replica is determined to try her best to make her original Self happy but instead of saying anything polite in reply son just dismisses her the next day at school the replica son apologizes
to Sonata Khan who seems to have no idea what she is talking about at his question she explains that her behavior Was very harsh to him even though he has put a lot of effort into bringing them a new fan he replies that it is not a big deal just as they enter the club room and see the new fan in all its Glory Sun now rushes to get the cool air from the fan while he tells her how he went to find hironaka after classes the other day and she opened the room for him
as he brought the fan here he further informs her that he also told Professor aai about their broken fan and she took It to the oversized garbage disposal soow is really nervous to hear all the information from him and quickly apologizes also saying thanks at the same time Sonata is a little confused by her reaction but he goes back to reading his book after a few moments she breaks the silence again as she tells Sonata to not talk to her outside the club room surprised by the sudden reaction Sonata almost shouts at her but realizes
his mistake quickly and explains that he is Just confused by her statement son explains that her mood has a lot of ups and downs like the different kinds of waves and she doesn't want him to go through the effort of dealing with her strange Behavior Sonata replies that he will handle her worst mood swings and it won't affect him in any way but Sono insists that she is not comfortable talking to him she continues that he shouldn't talk to her from now on and if she approaches him first he should just Keep their interaction casual
Sonata replies that it will be difficult for him to understand because he doesn't know what to do if he approaches her first at this point she feels embarrassed and after thinking about it for a moment she picks up half of her hair when Sonata asks her what she is doing she tells him that this is called half of style and he comments that she looks good in this style her blush intensifies at the compliment but she Continues the conversation saying that he can freely talk to her when she has this hairstyle she understands that it
will be really confusing for him but Sonata quickly adds that he was the one who asked her first despite the awkward situation sel's heart is beating really fast hiding her inner feelings she instead asks him about the book he was reading Sonata replies that he has finished the first part of the book and will start the next one today she then Asks him about the preparation for the test to which he replies that he didn't study anything so was surprised to hear his answer so he tells her that it is because they say that everything
will be the same if he studies or not their conversation is interrupted by richen coming into the club room soel quickly thanks her for giving the key to them to which she replies it is fine and then asks if she wants to get some snacks sunno instantly accepts the offer and Rickin then turns towards Sonata inviting him to join them after they finish snacking soow suggests that they should start studying for the upcoming tests now ricken says that before they start studying she has something important to tell her so now scolds her for deliberately trying
to delay studying but ricken assures her that she really has something important to discuss she shares that she still can't decide if she should write double or Doppleganger confused Sonata asks what they are talking about so ricken explains that she is right writing a novel and can't decide on a nickname for some main characters so she needs now sene's help sen further explains that dopplegangers are usually the identities that instantly die when they see another person similar to them in some cases the stories even have Happy Endings like in a story called The Little Mermaid
returns seeing that Sonata is still Confused she explains that The Little Mermaid returns is a famous story about a doppelganger this story is based in North Germany in the year 1985 where a young lady falls into a coma after she almost drowned despite her being in a coma her lover and her friend claimed that they saw her walking on the beach near her house when she should have been in the hospital the woman walking on the beach disappeared into the ocean without Saying anything still fully dressed and when her friends calmed down enough to look
for her they didn't find any traces of her they say that only after 16 minutes they received a call from the hospital informing them that the woman had woken up from her coma after listening to the story Sonata comments that people must have started calling her little mermaid at some point soel keeps thinking about how the phenomenon where the soul is separated from its Body is also called Soul sleepwalking or a phantom illness the incident with the woman from the story can also be the result of one of these two conditions mostly in such cases
when the soul returns to the body the person's life is not in danger anymore in her case everything is different because her presence doesn't affect Sun's body or Soul it makes her wonder that with the identical face to sonow and as her replica what can she call herself she Comes out of her thoughts when ricken says she wants to hear more motivating stories from her sunow scolds her saying that she can't write these stories for her exam ricken still doesn't get to studying instead telling Sonata how Senpai is very intelligent and that if he needs
help with anything he can talk to her Sonata just hums in reply and Rick and comments how must be really immersed in Reading if he is only giving a one-word reply noticing so's glare she Sheepishly says that she will also start studying and only goes to look at her books when so snatches the novel from her hands later they all take their tests of English Japanese history and are back to their literature room where sonno asks richen about her tests she looks really exhausted as she replies that the test is just rubbish their conversation is
interrupted when Sonata suddenly asks if they are not allowed to take the library books on school trips In reply to the statement sunow says that it is because the book can be ruined and they also have to leave early in the morning for these trips she suggests that he can wait for now and continue reading his book when they are back before he can say something in reply ricken asks him if he is allowed to go on the trip since he didn't study even a word Sonata tells her that he just needs to attend all
of his classes to pass the year ricken is not happy With his answer but the topic changes as sonow asks if the Juniors had their trip in May richen tells them that they went on a steam train in Cain and then asks about their trip location instantly getting excited saow tells her that they are going to hamamatsu flower Park and hamamatsu Zoological Garden as they are right next to each other she adds that they will also go on a sightseen boat tour seeing her excitement rickin advises her to be careful because she Might fall from
the overboard because of her excitement her statement instantly offends Sono who replies that she will not fall over as she is not weak despite the Assurance son's excitement against skyrockets when ricken tells her that they can also catch oysters in Lake haa richen further tells her that this thing is known as akiaki and people even cultivate their own oysters wanting to gather all the information SEL asks if they can borrow the equipment and ricken Is surprised to find that she is planning to catch oysters when she insists that she will do it at any cost
ricken informs her that they can only catch oysters in Winter confused son mumbles if winter has already arrived since she really thought it was still summer their conversation is interrupted when Sonata suddenly bursts out laughing as they both look at him in surprise he comments that they are both very funny son now is nervous at his comment but Ricken takes it as a compliment telling now Senpai how they make a great Duo the junior instantly suggests that they should conquer the world together and asks for a good name for their Duo they start discussing the
possible name wanting to include something that represents each one of them while Sonata just continues to laugh at their Antics later that day he and sonno are sitting around a table discussing the school trip when he asks if they can talk now She replies that it is O to talk since she is wearing her half hair up sunow seems satisfied with their new settlement because she feels like her self-consciousness is disappearing even though she is just a replica letting to fulfill in place of sonow she is happy in the moments when she can act as
a separate identity her happiness doesn't last long and soon she is punished for her mistakes after the day of a school trip the replica asks Sono about the School trip to which the girl casually replies that the weather was very hot her Expressions turn Grim as she mumbles how the original sinno should have let her go on the trip she doesn't say anything out loud just thinking about how she really wanted to go on the trip when she goes back to school the next day she approaches Sonata and casually comments how the school trip was
really fun he replies that it wasn't very enjoyable because he didn't get a chance To talk when she asks who he is talking about Sonata replies that it is about a girl with a specific hairstyle he then comments on how she she is wearing the said hairstyle today and asks if she wants to go on a trip with him sa was surprised to hear the offer but she instantly agrees with him already feeling excited without wasting any time they both leave the classroom as sonel realizes how this is the first time she is skipping school
she has spent all of Her time acting as sonel and betraying people close to her usually at this time she would be sitting in the gym filling for sonow but today is different today she is just her once they both step out of the school Sonata asks her where they should go and just then s realizes that she doesn't have any money he offers to pay for her but she refuses to accept the offer and just tells him to wait for a bit while she grabs the money from her house he asks her where her

waiting outside the house when sonow returns with a heavy bag on her cycle seeing her heavy bag He suggests stopping at the shinkin bank first she has no idea what he is talking about so he explains that he just wants to deposit some money when they reach the bank Sonata takes her bag despite her protest that she can carry it herself ing the counter he gives the cashier some money asking her to deposit It in the account once the cashier is done with their requests Sonata tells sonow that he put all of her money into
his own account so they can easily withdraw it whenever they need he apologized for the lengthy process explaining that he thought this method would be convenient because they could avoid the fees this way sunno quickly tells him to not apologize because she has no idea what is happening and it is Sonata who is willingly carrying the Burden of looking after her when she gets the amount of 198,50 yen in her hands she can't help but notice how light the envelope is even though this is all she has seeing her staring at the money Sonata tells
her to relax saying that he is not planning to run away with her money he adds that even if he were working with the bank he would never steal the money from unemployed students after dealing with their money issues Sonata searches The internet for their destination inero and tells Sono that they can take a bus from higashi station that will take them directly to the zoo he asks about her opinion and she happily agrees with him already feeling very giddy without wasting any time they take the train and Sonata informs her that if the train

with a boy soon they reach the zoo and she asks her classmate that he has come here before Sonata replies that he came here a few times and then asks her the same question to which son replies that she can't remember anything they both go to the ticket counter after that and Sonata asks for two tickets when son tries to take out the money he says that he will pay for her she loudly says that he doesn't have to cover for her because she has money with her and gets scolded by Sonata for almost announcing
to the world how much money she has soow Chooses a red panda sticker and they both get ready to go inside a ticket operator wishes them a good time with a mischievous smile and sensing her hint they both blush deeply avoiding each other's eyes for a few minutes as they go inside the zoo a worker grabs their attention by asking if they want a commemorative picture sonno has no idea what it means so the worker explains that they can stand in front of a sign wearing an animal hat and they will take A picture that
they can even take home they can get the small size pictures for free but the bigger ones will cost them money son is very excited to hear the details and quickly agrees to take the pictures without asking for sonata's opinion she happily starts to choose a proper hat to wear and picks up a red panda hat at sonata's suggestion once they are both wearing the animal hats Sono comments on how adorable he looks but Sonata is not very happy with the Compliment the operator tells them to smile instantly approaches son's bright smile all telling Sonata
to look a little more cheerful once she is satisfied with their smiles she tells them to scoot closer and finally clicks a picture for them when the operator shows them the picture with the information that it will cost 1,000 yen Sono almost shouts that she will buy one she happily stares at their picture and suggests that they should hang it in the Club room Sonata doesn't agree with her opinion but before he can explain his reason sunow spots a red panda she instantly starts admiring the cute animal looking around to find more pandas sleeping in
their residence Sonata comments he also feels like these pandas are cute like little children turning towards sunno he asks her if she is not going to click any pictures she replies that she doesn't want any pictures while thinking about how she Doesn't have her own phone she tells Sonata that she has already memorized the image of these cute animals and he comments on how she seems to love these pandas she looks dazed by the sight of animals and murmurs about how she can spend her whole life here her resolve breaks instantly when Sonata tells her
that they have penguins here too and polar bears her face goes red with excitement but before going to see them she makes him promise that they will Return to see the red pandas their tour of the animal portion comes to an end soon and sonow is not happy with the idea of going back noticing her mood Sonata asks her if something is wrong which makes realize how he is really kind despite his blunt nature their next stop is a stall where they have keto chicks and the female operator asks if they want to hold a
chick she requests they try making a small bed for the chick which Sonata quickly accepts after Enjoying their time with chicks the young de goes to find food looking at the menu Sonata asks for her choice of food saying that the most famous item is polar bear Curry and they also offer capera beef stew once their food is served so now was amazed to see a stew shape that resembles a capar resting in a hot spring the cute shape of the capera makes it hard for sonow to eat it so she decides to go with
something else when Sonata says that he will order a Polar bear Curry she can't help herself and gives in to her desire for caparis stew after finishing the food so goes to the washroom to freshen up when she returns she finds Sonata sitting on a bench with his head hanging low she is worried that his leg might be hurting but he assures her that he is already right still concerned about his health son apologizes for dragging him to the zoo to which Sonata quickly replies that it was his idea to go on a solo trip
With her the atmosphere turns a little Grim when so suddenly asks if the story about him getting badly abused by his senior is true Sonata calmly replies that he wasn't the one who got hurt and then adds that there are still more things for them to see at the zoo he starts to tell her about the next thing but sonno interrupts him saying that she is already tired and they should go back back surprised by her answer Sonata reminds her how she wanted to see the Red pandas again Sonna was amazed to find out that
he still remembers her words to which Sonata replies that he can't forget because of how excited she was to see those animals so really wants to see those cute animals again but she also doesn't want to burden her classmate so she replies that she wants to guck Sonata doesn't accept the request instead saying how she didn't even want to leave the red pandas earlier his words just confuse her more Because she really said those words and realized how she didn't want to stay back because of pandas hiding her inner thoughts she tells Sonata that they
can come back here anytime and then thanks him for bringing her out today her eyes fill with unch tears as she realizes how today was the only day she enjoyed herself and she always wanted to say these words to Sonata before she never would have thought about skipping school because she only existed to fill in the Place of the original sonow Sonata just barged into her life and took her to some Fairway Place the visit to the zoo made her realize that she could go anywhere and she really wanted to show her gratitude to the
person who showed her new possibilities she giggles lightly when Sonata replies that he also feels grateful as their trick together comes to an end sa was feeling really ecstatic because she always wanted something that belongs to only her she Waves goodbye to Sonata as they part ways and she happily rides her bike her heart is filled with so much happiness that she feels like she might start flying in the air like a balloon she almost skips on her way back thinking about how she wants to visit the zoo again or any other place as soon
as she enters her house she finds the original sonow standing in the dark with an aura of utter disappointment around her the replica calls her name in surprise but Instead of giving her a chance to say anything so directly confronts her about skipping school saying that she has received a call from richen the replica tries to apologize but Sono ignores her words and just tells her to stop it her words only confuse her replica while she continues to beg her to leave her alone the replica can't understand what she is talking about so when Sonna
repeats her words she almost shouts at her to stop saying them in her life she has never Taken anything from her original Self and even if she tries too hard to remember she can't recall anything she has stolen original sonow was the one who ate all of the good food took the kagay from her father who wasn't allowed to eat fried food and spent time sleeping in the loving Embrace of her mother from the start there wasn't anything that belonged to her so it is not possible that she could have stolen anything from sonow instead
of trying to Divert the topic she directly asks sonno what she did soo's expression doesn't change as she says that she can't even bear to look at her anymore with every passing minute the replica gets more confused since son was the one who summoned her first place and has been using her from the first day but still she acts like the replica was the one who took advantage of her she coldly says how she is just a replica and shouldn't get ahead of herself her words Make the girl realize how she can never be someone
real she is shocked when so suddenly says that she should just disappear forever she didn't even get a chance to protest as she slowly faded into the darkness meanwhile Sonata is reading a book where one of the characters tells his friend Campanella they should go somewhere together adding that as long as everyone is happy he doesn't care what happens to him Sonata reads how Campanella immediately agrees And their conversation shifts to the idea of true happiness it makes him think of sonow was always by his side yet he still feels distant from her leaning back
in his chair he reflects on how he's already finished three books during summer break the latest being a collection of Kenji M asawa's short stories the one he's reading now the Night Train to the stars is about two boys Giovani and Campanella taking a secret Journey around the Milky Way on a Steam train he feels like the story is beautiful and sad at the same time because of how the two best friends go their separate ways he look looks at his phone longingly wishing that he could have asked for son's contact number he recalls the
time when he approached Sono after his first day of the literature club and tried to talk to her about fans but she acted completely oblivious to what he was asking now thinking about the incident he feels like sonow is Someone who can easily turn the dime he really wanted to tell her how he knew about campanella's location because he also took the same path but he couldn't get the words out in front of her even though his attention should have been completely on the book the moment he read the sentence he was reminded of so's
face after their trip to the zoo Sonata has never met with son again even though she has said goodbye with a big smile on her face he just wishes for the Summer break to be over soon because he feels like sonno will be waiting for him wearing her half hair out his long wait finally comes to an end when the school reopens to his disappointment she is not wearing the specific hairstyle and doesn't even look his way later he is sitting in the club room hoping that she will show up but the chair remains is
empty richen comments on how sen is absent every day Sonata doesn't say anything in reply thinking about how he Might never meet the girl with her hair tied in the half of style the next time when so summoned her replica almost a month had already passed in the past when she was slowly disappearing into the darkness she felt like son would never summon her again when she came back to life Sno was looking at her with a guilty expression even though to her it was just a second ago that she was yelling at her in
reality everything has progressed a lot while she was frozen in Time sonow has been living her life without any Interruption now that she is back to life they don't talk to each other much and she silently gets ready for school before she can leave Sono calls her from her bed asking if she is in a relationship with Sonata the question surprises her because she doesn't think she can do something like this when sa was not in a relationship with him at this point she can understand why sonno is anxious about Certain things or is scared
of them she still thinks so know doesn't have to fear anything because in the end a replica can't fall in love and there's no reason for them to do so as a replica one day she feels like she is flying in the air and the very next day her feet won't even touch the ground while her mind is filled with all kinds of thoughts she silently puts on her shoes and leaves for school soon she is sitting in her class looking at a book When Sonata comes there Sonata seems to be in shock at seeing
her and murmurs how her hair is still down soel quickly apologizes saying how she still hasn't tied them and raises her hands to make the hairstyle when she suddenly realizes how Sonata has recognized her without the specific hairstyle before she can think about it further Sonata directly asks her if she is not sonno and just her body double the question startles her and she runs away from there without Even glancing back at him she can't believe that he has figured out something like this even though she is not the real sonow and is just a
replica of her no one is supposed to find this information about her she suddenly recalls the words words from the book about going anywhere in the world it makes her realize how on the train on their journey toward the zoo she also felt like they could go anywhere in the world but she didn't know what place it Could be it should be home but in Sun's home the warmth that emits from her mother and the touch of her father's hand all belonged to sonow the school uniform the hair on her head her eyes nose and
even lips all these things belong to sonow she has nothing of her own and if she is not sonow then there is no place in the world for her to exist while thinking about all this she keeps running until Sonata finally catches up to her and grabs her wrist From behind he quickly asks her if he has hurt her but sonow assures him that she is O Sonata points out how she is about to cry which sonow quickly denies he still continues the conversation asking why she is trying to run when she is wearing her
half hair up soow almost shouts in frustration that she is not trying to run away and Sonata instantly backs away even apologizing for chasing after her once she calms down a little He suggests that they sit on a nearby Bench soon they are both sitting on a bench and Sonata starts the conversation by saying that he is facing a similar situation his words don't surprise her much because she always felt like there was something strange about him the person who said that he wasn't the one who got hurt or that doesn't matter if he prepared
for the exams or not and that he had visited the zoo before looked just as surprised she can't believe that the person sitting in front Of her is real Sonata he suddenly murmurs how he should have passed away a long time ago and can't understand why he is still alive so just stares at him in Surprise while she recalls a lecture where the professor asked them about the death of someone named Kay the professor said that they could come up with some Theory and find an answer that fits the situation well but they still couldn't
know the real reason for Kay's death now that she thinks about sonata's world she Realizes how she has never wished for son to die she comes out of her thoughts when Sonata suddenly says that he wouldn't want to die if he could visit the zoo again tomorrow and says how she really seems to like the red pandas staring straight ahead of her so now murmurs how his life is like that too when Sonata adds that he is not the real shouya Sonata sonno decided to tell him the truth staring at how she was not Sono
she reveals that she is just a Replica of the original Sono iawa and thus is the title they use even though son calls her second Sonata shares how real shouya calls him Gen 2 but he is not very excited when sonno suggests that she can call him too she replies that she also doesn't like carrying such a name and warns him not to call her second or something like that Sonata comments on how iawa gave her a very weird name and sonow angrily replies that shouya shouldn't call him number Two or anything like that she
tells him how in elementary school she thought a lot about what name she could give herself Sonata is more surprised to hear her mention Elementary School and seeing his reaction sow asks when the first time he was created Sonata repli implies that it was only in July of this year and it happened on the morning when Sonata had to return to school for the first time after leaving the hospital he then asks her the same question to which Son replies that she was first summoned when AOA fought with richen in the second grade Sonata is
surprised at how long aawa has been friends with Ren and Sono tells her how they first met at some local event for kids she shares how when she was first summoned sonno started addressing her as now but that name didn't last for long she comments how is like vinegar because with time so became sour with the name she knows that some part of this is true because son Despises being alone with her original Self but in the end she stopped sharing her things with her replica this was why Sono was named second a separate identity
that only exists as long as the original Self exists Sonata asks if he can also call now admitting that he feels slightly jealous when ricken calls her by the nickname suno agrees to that and then asks what she can call him they both agree that she will call him Aki they stare at each other with soft eyes While Sono thinks about how she is sitting beside Aki Sonata after that day they both become separate identities Aki and now sonow continues the conversation by asking if he has been replaced since July Aki explains that shouya hasn't
left his house since he hurt his leg when she asks if Sonata is in Rehabilitation Aki tells her the doctor said that after just 3 months of rehab Sonata should be able to returned to his normal life ever since Sonata was Discharged from the hospital he hasn't gone back there and the way his bone is broken the doctor said that it would take at least half a year for him to be able to play basketball again now is surprised to hear the information as eki adds how he really wanted to despise Sonata but couldn't bring
himself to do so his words remind now of all the arguments she had with sonow Aki continues how he just feels pity for Sonata because he can't play basketball After his leg is broken and he loses all his determination to attend school making it look like his heart has become shallow all of a sudden when Now comments on how Sonata loves basketball Aki replies that Sonata is great at basketball and since being good at the game earned him praise from everyone he spent a lot of time practicing it was more like he enjoyed the time
he spent at the club rather than just playing basketball he continues that this is why Assum he will too but doesn't complete the sentence Nao doesn't force him to continue not knowing that she will soon regret not making him finish the sentence now is still thinking about his half sentence as she walks into her class where one of her seniors highay approaches her she knows that he also plays basketball and is someone who Sono almost considers a friend but he is also the same person who broke sonata's leg according to the rumors that are still
Flowing through the school Corridor hyay simply broke the life of his Junior who he didn't like much the rumor was spread when a student who was close to highay said this in front of everyone like he had done something amazing Sonata has asked them to meet him somewhere and the three of them have trapped him by force it started by punching him in the gut and then when he fell down they kicked him in the knees and shined at the time Sonata was close To achieving his dream of winning the inter High tournament but he
couldn't even play the final despite being the best player just because of Hy's cruelty hiding her inner turmoil Nao casually greets him while thinking about how after the summer vacation sinno intentionally didn't go to the gym and it felt like she was really depressed for a few days when she comes back to reality ha is saying that he wishes she could be their manager this is the Second time now has heard the complaint or the same words and recalls how tired sonno was after her tree outs at the basketball Club she refuses to accept his
request saying that even if she joins the club as manager she will just be a burden to everyone else hi comments how it is so like soow but doesn't insist again while now is still confused about how she should feel about him later she is sitting in the club room when ricken says how she heard that na Was talking with a handsome guy she continues that the guy has brown hair and is very arrogant despite Seno's attempt to stop her ricken says that the person is highay while Aki is just silently listening to their conversation
now is well aware that hyay is someone who did something horrible to Sonata and she should even think about forgiving him at the same time she understands that the way she was summoned because of a fight between richen and sonel Aki was Created because of the injury that Sonata has faced this is why she doesn't know how to feel about hyay or how she should feel about him even though this all makes her feel so guilty just then Aki asks her if she has time to talk to her as they stand in front of each
other richen realizes the tension between them and quickly puts a flare on the table saying how it is a good place to visit she quickly leaves the room after that while akie stares at the flyer asking Now if she wants to go there later in the evening they both go to Rich in's suggested place where a festival is being held and the streets are illuminated with beautiful lights staring at everything in Wonder Now comments how she is seeing something like this for the first time and Aki replies that it is also his first time Aki
suddenly goes silent scratching his neck nervously and now quickly notices his mood change when she asks him about It Aki replies that he just thinks she will look great in a yucata he adds that he just wants to see her wearing one and they should go to yucata themselves quickly Nao Chuckles at his choice of words but agrees with his request asking his suggestion on what kind of yucata she should wear Aki replies that she should choose flower patterns in light blue or blue colors it can also be pink or white because he thinks now
will look good in everything Nao replies that she Thinks he should wear a naty blue or dark green Yukata as he will look good in these colors soon they are both dressed in their respective yucata and akie just keeps staring at her in amazement now looks very happy as she suggests that they should go somewhere to eat Aki just silently follows her while thinking about how it is not good to just keep watching her from a distance so he should try to enjoy this festival with her because their time Together might end soon here I
