Trouble (3) (やっかいごと③, Yakkai-goto) is the third part of the 135th chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
Mizuha asks what was up with Sumika but Fushi tells her to forget about it and asks her what she wants to do now. Before Mizuha can say anything, two young girls ask if Fushi and Mizuha could be models for some photos for their photography club. The two agree and Fushi is given their photo as a thank-you gift from the girls. Fushi smiles as he looks at the photo and Mizuha points out that he seems to like having his photo taken. Fushi explains that he was just thinking about the body's original owner (Mia) and how she dreamed of being an artist's model, but she died before her dream could come true. Mizuha points out that even though it's a photo instead of a painting, it's kinda like Fushi made her dream come true. Fushi concurs.

Fushi suddenly remembers that Uroy and Oopa had dreams too and Mizuha suggests they help fulfil their dreams.

As Uroy, they head to the zoo. Fushi explains that Uroy wanted to raise lots of animals. Next they head to an observatory as Oopa. Fushi tells Mizuha that Oopa was interested in the sun. He comments that he's sure Oopa would be surprised to learn that there are stars farther and bigger than the sun.

Night falls and Fushi walks Mizuha home. Mizuha tells him that she's happy to have met him and that it's like she never even wished to be dead. Fushi asks if she's okay now and Mizuha says she is and tells him to come to school sometimes.

Fushi departs, eager to tell March about how there's a constellation named after Oniguma, but decides against it as he remembers that Nokker Mimori is still out there. He spots Ligard flying in the sky and shortly Tonari appears before him. Tonari is happy to see him and informs him that they've all been worried sick since he stopped coming home. She asks why he's in Oopa's form and he tells her he's stargazing. Fushi tells her about Oniguma's constellation and points to it in the sky. Tonari has trouble seeing it and leans down closer to Fushi's (Oopa's) height. Tonari tells Fushi that Oopa's scent takes her back and that she wishes Oopa was still alive. She caresses Fushi's (Oopa's) face just as Fushi transforms back into the Nameless Boy (since he's not used to seeing out of Oopa's one eye) which flusters Tonari.

Mizuha pokes out her balcony and wishes Fushi good night. Tonari backs away from Fushi and realizes he was with Mizuha today. He tells her he was on a date and Tonari, confused, asks if he was in Oopa's body for the date. Fushi excitedly rambles to her about how he fulfilled Mia's, Uroy's, and Oopa's dreams today but she tells him to stop talking.

The two stand in silence just as Gugu appears. Gugu asks Fushi if Tonari filled him in, but Fushi has no clue what he means. Gugu figures she didn't tell him and informs him that Bonchien wants to talk to him. Since they couldn't find him they used Ligard to search so they could bring him back home.

Sensing the tension in the air, Gugu asks if something happened between the two of them. Tonari tells Gugu that "this idiot" used her friends to help his love life. Fushi is taken a back by this and tells her Mizuha was just showing him around out of the kindness of her heart. Tonari trembles and yells that she doesn't want to hear this. She hugs herself and tells Fushi to listen to her more than Mizuha or anyone else. She yells that she loves them (Oopa, Mia, and Uroy) more than anyone else and that it's a fact they died back then. She tells him, tears streaming down her face, that if he thought he was "continuing" their lives for them, that he's not, as he's just sullying her friends with something dirty.

Tonari storms off just as Yuki arrives.
