白い布の中で　休まらない記憶の　甘い匂いまで覚えてる

秘密箱の中の　掠められない記憶を　ただ疑わず待っている

並行世界での終わり方を　覗いたってきっと変わらないこと

朝食に涙を2人拭う以外の正しさのこと

息をするまでの全部を　抱えきれなくていいなら

僕の目を塞いだままもう幸せになろうって言ってよ

体温の頼りなさ　冷たい光の数を知っているでしょう

shiroi nuno no naka de yasumaranai kioku no amai nioi made oboeteru

Himitsu bako no naka no kasumerarenai kioku wo tada utagawazu matteiru

heikou sekai de no owarikata wo nozoitatte kitto kawaranai koto

Choushoku ni namida wo futari nuguu igai no tadashisa no koto

iki wo suru made no zenbu wo kakae kirenakute ii nara

Boku no me wo fusaida mama mou shiawase ni narou tte itte yo

Taion no tayorinasa tsumetai hikari no kazu wo shitteiru deshou

Inside the white fabric, restless memories, I even remember the sweet smell

Inside the secret box, the memories which can’t be stolen, I have been waiting without doubt

Even if I glimpse at the way of ending in the parallel world, it surely won’t make a difference

About fairness other than the two of us wiping our tears at breakfast

If I don’t have to hold everything until I breathe

Please say let’s be happy already, while covering my eyes

You must know the unreliable temperature, the icy light’s number

白い布の中で　休まらない記憶の　甘い匂いまで覚えてる

秘密箱の中の　掠められない記憶を　ただ疑わず待っている

並行世界での終わり方を　覗いたってきっと変わらないこと

朝食に涙を2人拭う以外の正しさのこと

息をするまでの全部を　抱えきれなくていいなら

僕の目を塞いだままもう幸せになろうって言ってよ

体温の頼りなさ　冷たい光の数を知っているでしょう

白い雲の奥の　見たことない話の　淡い続きを願ってる

暗い底の中で　満たすことない期待を　ただ捨てきれず持っている

幻想世界での生まれ方に　触ったってずっと分からないこと

一瞬に確かを求めてしまう以外の誤魔化しのこと

息をするまでの全部を　抱えきれなくていいから

僕の手を握ったままただ幸せって笑って言ってよ

真実の呆気なさ　喧騒の間の孤独も知っているでしょう

息をするまでの全部を抱えきれなくていいなら

僕の今までを受け止めて幸せになろうって言ってよ

Taion no tayorinasa tsumetai hikari no kazu wo shitteiru deshou

shiroi kumo no oku no mita koto nai hanashi no awai tsuzuki wo negatteru

Kurai soko no naka de mitasu koto nai kitai wo tada sute kirezu motteiru

gensou sekai de no umarekata ni sawattatte zutto wakaranai koto

Isshun ni tashika wo motomete shimau igai no gomakashi no koto

iki wo suru made no zenbu wo kakae kirenakute ii kara

Boku no te wo nigitta mama tada shiawase tte waratteite yo

Shinjitsu no akkenasa kensou no ma no kodoku mo shitteiru deshou

Inside the white fabric, restless memories, I even remember the sweet smell

Inside the secret box, the memories which can’t be stolen, I have been waiting without doubt

Even if I glimpse at the way of ending in the parallel world, it surely won’t make a difference

About fairness other than the two of us wiping our tears at breakfast

If I don’t have to hold everything until I breathe

Please say let’s be happy already, while covering my eyes

You must know the unreliable temperature, the icy light’s number

Deep inside the white cloud, the story which I haven’t seen before, I am longing for the unclear rest of it

Inside of the dark bottom, the expectation which won’t be filled, I have been keeping it since I just can’t throw it

The way we are born in the world of fantasy, I won’t be able to understand it ever even I touch it

About the fraud other than seeking the certainty in one moment

Cause I don’t have to hold everything until I breathe

Please just smile and say I am happy, while holding my hands

The briefness of the truth, you must know the loneliness between the hustle and bustle

If I don’t have to hold everything until I breathe

Please say let’s be happy, while accepting all of myself until this moment

## Ending animation

Bright light shines in the middle of the screen and transitions to a desaturated view of the seashore. Waves hit the shoreline as Kanade and Rea Uryu fade in and out of the screen. The same animation is applied to the collective or individual appearances of the following characters in order: the Mukaido family at the rightmost side of the screen, Yuri Temari walking to the left while holding an umbrella, and Shuji Nakaumi sauntering to the right as Susumu runs after him.

Mirai Kakehashi appears in his signature Red costume followed by Saki Hanakago in her Yellow one. Mirai looks at her before they both fade into the background. Suddenly, a white light fills the screen and the background colors become more saturated. Now overlooking the vibrant yellow hue of the sea, Gaku Yoneda appears seated on the ground before lowering his head on his knees and walking away.

White light fills the screen once more and the colors of the sea become mixed with warmer tones. The thirteen angels appear altogether, emitting a faint glow from their bodies, then disappear one by one until Nasse is all that is left in the middle. Her body glows brighter until she disappears in a cloud of feathers, simultaneously making the screen go black.
