See the Language page for a full explanation on how it works.

Why am I so stupid? I can’t believe I said such a thing! It almost sounded like I said I liked Gugu! [scribbled out] I wonder if he’ll come to my birthday party... He’s not mad that I threw potatoes at him, right?

By the way, I took the ring back with me. I will say it to Gugu one day. Do you remember this ring? Do you remember the first time you met me?

I remember. You had long bangs. You had big and beautiful blue eyes. Your nose was a little bit upturned. Your cheeks were bright red.

I’m looking forward to checking it with you. I’m sure that we’ll both be naked then. Aah! What the hell am I thinking!!!

That day was my daughter Rean Cropp's 16th birthday. There was no warning of the tragedy that was to come. The earth began to quake and the ceiling began to crumble. My wife and I were both wounded and were unable to escape. Just then, someone picked both of us up and carried us outside - that someone was your younger brother, Gugu. But then, my daughter was swallowed up by the debris. To this day, I still cannot comprehend what I saw at that moment, but atop the pile of debris was a mysterious, looming figure. No one could move. Shortly thereafter, the figure disappeared, and my wife and I began to work together with the town to start a rescue operation. When my daughter was rescued, I heard that your brother Gugu was covering my daughter as if to protect her. Everyone agrees — he saved my daughter's life. To you, his own brother, I am at a loss for words and excuses. I write this letter in the hopes that I can somehow repay you. I pray that I can spend the rest of my life doing so. And to Gugu, I feel the utmost gratitude and deepest regret. It is said that God loves those who have a noble soul. Now, I believe that Gugu's spirit is with God. I am certain of it.

Trivia

 * In an interview with Oima Yoshitoki, Oima said that each volume cover depicts a character's dream. Gugu's dream is to live without wearing a mask and to protect the people he cares about, so volume 4 shows Gugu, without his mask, protecting Rean.
