18.6/7 op.2 "Can't Smile Don't Blame"

Tatsu- We first met when we were four
Tatsu- It was at the Dojo I went to
Tatsu- His flashy hair color
Tatsu- Holding hands with such a pretty mom
Tatsu- Smiling like crazy
Tatsu- So scrawny
Tatsu- and grinning like an idiot.
Tatsu- He looked incredibly puny.
Tatsu- He really was incredibly puny,
Tatsu- he cried whenever he lost.

Tatsu- Y'know,
Tatsu- at that Dojo, I was the first one to make that guy cry.
Tatsu- One blow to the upperbody!
Tatsu- It didn't take more than 10 seconds that time
Tatsu- But, you know,
Tatsu- Even though he cried,
Tatsu- he started smiling again in no time,
Tatsu- whenever he saw the face of his mom when she came to pick him up.
Tatsu- I really hated that
Tatsu- Men who lose like that, shouldn`t be smiling like an idiot!

Tatsu- I was thinking that,
Tatsu- When I'd see that smile.
Tatsu- He really was spoiled
Tatsu- And he stuck to his mom like glue…
Tatsu- …But,
Tatsu- …he looked so happy…
Tatsu- Laughing so pleasantly…
Tatsu- That was…
Tatsu- …the beginning –

Yuzu- Fuwaaa~
Yuzu- This is such a tough hill.
Karin- Really? It's nothing to me.
Dad- Do your best, Yuzu!
Dad- Don't give in, Yuzu!
Dad- Daddy's with you!
Dad- Look! Hey, look at Daddy! He's climbing the hill while standing on his hands!
Karin- Ignore him, Yuzu.
Karin- Encourage people like that and it will never end.

Dad- How naive…
Dad- Even if you don't look, I still won't stop!
Karin- Run!!
Dad- Take that! Special Daddy Sliding Technique!
Dad- Spotted panties!
Yuzu- Kyaa!
Karin- Scram! To the ends of the Earth!
Dad- Hat Trick!
Dad- Huge plunge~!
Dad- Due to Daddy's huge stock plunge, today's NASDAQ is in chaos!!
Karin- Start from the bottom, man!
Ichi- Haah…
Ichi- Anyway…
Ichi- Although it's June, it's so hot…
Ichi- Today…

Ichi- Even though it's the same June 17th…
Ichi- …it's a hell of a lot different…
Karin- Huh
Karin- There`s someone there.
Yuzu- You're right.
Yuzu- Is that person visiting a grave too?
Karin- You think?
Karin- Ah, she's turning this way.
Ichi: Why is she here____!?!

Yuzu- She's waving…
Yuzu- You know her, brother?
Ichi- I donno!
Ichi- I don't know that person!
Ichi- I utterly, completely don't –
Karin- Seems like I've seen her before…
Ichi- I remember!!
Ichi- A classmate from my Middle School days! It's all coming back to me!
Ichi- Oh no!! I'm feeling so nostalgic that I want to talk to her alone immediately!
Ichi- With that said, I'm going to talk to her for a bit!
Ichi- You guys go to Mom's grave ahead of me!!
Yuzu- Going to talk…?
Karin- Heheeh…
Yuzu- What!?
Yuzu- What's with the "Heheeh"!?
Karin- Nothing…
Karin- Just that it seems he's finally reached that age…
Yuzu- What!? What do you mean!? Karin-chaaan! (Nooo!)
Karin- Fufufu…
Karin- It might be time to let our brother go…
Ichi- Why did you follow me!?

Ruk- Fool!
Ruk- What would you do if a Hollow attacks and I'm not nearby?
Ichi- Just because of that…
Ichi- Y'know, if you were going to follow, you should've been more covert!
Ruk- Sorry about that.
Ruk- I wasn`t aware.
Ichi- ……..
Ichi- What…
Ichi- …are you so angry about?
Ruk- Nothing
Ruk- I'm not angry.
Ruk- …killed…

Ruk- …that's
Ruk- what you told me.
Ruk- Your mother…
Ichi- …I didn't say that.
Ruk- …Who killed her?
Ichi- I said I didn't say that.
Ichi- Forget it.
Ruk- You told me you could see ghosts for as long as you could remember.
Ruk- If that's so, answer just one question for me.
Ruk- Wasn't the thing that killed your mother…
Ruk- …a Hollow?

Ruk- It's possible!
Ruk- You've seen spirits for as long as you could remember, so if your spiritual density is that high,
Ruk- Hollows could have targeted you…
Ruk- and mistaken you mother for…
Ichi- YOU`VE GOTTA BE…
Ichi- KIDDING ME____!!!

Ichi- This isn't a joke.
Ichi- When it comes to you, anything and everything becomes the handiwork of Hollows.
Ichi- It was already something serious…
Ichi- You don't need to find reasons like that…
Ichi- …It wasn't a Hollow!
Ichi- Sorry, but you guessed wrong…

Ichi- It…
Ichi- It can't be…
Ichi- Why here…
Ruk- ?
Ruk- …What's wrong, Ichi…
Ruk- Ichigo!?

Ruk- Nothing there.
Ruk- It disappeared?
Ruk- …Or…
Ruk- Ichigo!
Tatsu- His mother died.
Tatsu- When he was 9 years old.

Tatsu- Well, I was 9 at that time too, but
Tatsu- that doesn't really matter.
Tatsu- Anyway, even at 9,
Tatsu- He was still spoiled, grinning dumbly, and stuck to his mom.
Tatsu- But she died.
Tatsu- The next day onward, he skipped school.
Tatsu- When I wondered what he was up to and went looking for him,
Tatsu- He was at the riverbank where his mother died.
Tatsu- Carrying his school bag from morning till night.

Tatsu- It looked like he was searching for his Mom… wandering, wandering …
Tatsu- He would squat down, if he were tired…
Tatsu- …but soon after he'd then stand up to wander again…
Tatsu- Every single day, from morning till night…
Tatsu- It was so hard to see him like that…
Tatsu- The Ichigo from that time…
Ruk- Haah
Ruk- Haah
Ruk- Wh…
Ruk- Why did you run! What…
Ichi- …it wasn't!
Ichi- It wasn't a Hollow or anything!
Ichi- The one who killed Mom…

Ichi- …was me…!!
