Animals: We told you! She returned to the soil! Shunta, what do we do?! Ryou: Calm down, everyone. Where is the soil? Animals: Where the clay came from! Maguro Mountain! Shunta: WHAT?! In the dark? She went back to the mountain? (What's she THINKING?!) pg 4 Ryou: Shunta... You said that Nene was acting strange since the afternoon... Shunta: Yeah... Ryou: "Returning to the soil"... ...Nene might... She might be turning back into the soil she once was... Shunta: Huh... No way! What're you saying, Niichan?! Ryou: Nene came to life so suddenly... And her body is made out of clay... pg 5 Ryou: It isn't so strange... That she'd disappear someday. Shunta: % Disappear... % ...someday...? Ryou: Shunta! pg 6 Shunta: I'm going to go look for Nene! Shunta: % If you disappear now... % I won't forgive you, Nene! Nyuuru: Nene! Nene! What's wrong, Nene! pg 7 Nene: Ah, Nene's not wearing any shoes! Nyuuru: This is Maguro Mountain.

Nene: % Ah... Nene: You... You were the person who's been calling Nene all this time? pg 9 Nene: Then... You're Nene's mother!! Soil: No. Soil doesn't have mothers. We're like sisters. I am you, you are me... We are of the same clay. Nene: I don't understand... Nene came here to find a way to turn into a human. Why are you being mean and saying I have to come back?! Soil: Because, Nene... It can't be helped. pg 10 Soil: The reason that you can't become a human... Is all your own fault, Nene. Nene: Huh...? Nene: % Nene's fault? Soil: Nene, you can't become a human. So return to the soil... Come... Nene: You mean, Nene could have become a human? Tell me! Soil: It's too late. Your body is already... Nyuuru: Nene! Your feet...! pg 11 Nene: Ah... Nene: % My feet... % They won't move... Nene: N... NOOOO!! Nene doesn't wanna go back! After I came all this way to be able to move... Please, help me...! Soil: Nene. pg 12 Soil: There isn't anything to be afraid of. We're just returning to the soil of our original form... Shut your eyes. Nene: % Ah...this feeling... % I remember...a long time ago... % I was part of all the clay... % We were all together, all the same... % Vaguely, we depended on each other, too.. % I was so, so happy. pg 13 Nene: % Huh? % Then...why did Nene want to become a human...? Shunta: $ I'm home, Niichan! $ What's this, a clay doll? Ryou: $ That's right, her name is "Nene". Shunta: $ "Nene", huh... pg 14 Shunta: $ You're pretty cute! $ If you were a human girl, that'd be great! Nene: $% Who is that? $% A human boy... $% I... $% I am called "Nene"? pg 15 Nene: $% "Nene" wants to become a human. $% And... $% I want to be friends with that boy. Nene: % SHUNTA-KUN...! Shunta: NENE!! pg 16 Nene: ...Shunta-kun... Shunta: Come back, Nene! Hurry!! Nene: WAH! pg 18 Nene: % Ah... % She turned back into normal clay... % Why? Shunta: Nene... Let's go home. pg 19 Nene: Yeah... Nene: % Why...did she give up... Nene: Shunta-kun. Aren't you tired? Nene can walk... Shunta: I told you, it's fine! You don't have shoes on. Plus, you're made of clay, so you're pretty light. Nene: ... Shunta-kun... Your hands are big, but your back is bigger than Nene too. pg 20 Shunta: What, that again? Are you going to say, "I'm so jeaaaaaalous!" again, or something? Nene: No, that's not it. That's not it. Nene: % I was thinking... % How cool that is. Nene: Hey, Shunta-kun... Even though Nene is a doll, can I still stay by your side? Shunta: Of course! It doesn't matter if you're a doll- it doesn't matter what you are. Because Nene is Nene. pg 21 Nene: YEAH...! Nene: % Because Shunta-kun said that... Hinako: Ah! They're both back! (Thank goodness, Nene-chan!) Nene: % Nene thought... % That it's okay if I stay a doll % After all... pg 22 Nene: % I can always, aaaaaaaaaaalways... % Be by the side of the person I love... Box: the next morning... Nyuuru: Nene, it's morning! You'll be late, you'll be late! Nene: Mmm? But my alarm clock... Nyuuru: You turned it off yourself, Nene. It woke up Shunta-kun, too. Soil: Nene... Nene, I'll tell you. pg 23 Nene: Ryou-san, SHunta-kun, morning! Shunta: Hey, you're finally awake! Ryou: I made sandwiches, so take them with you. Nene: Thanks, Ryou-san! Let's go, Shunta-kun! Ryou: ... Shunta: Huh? Soil: % What gave you life, Nene... % Is a loving heart. Shunta: Nene, wait! Look over here for a sec! Soil: % So, those feelings... pg 24 Soil: % When they become real... Nene: What? Shunta: NENE?! Soil: % You can be reincarnated as a human. THE END
