...............With this, are all the game pieces now lined up at 1983, I wonder? Just lining up the game pieces at June 1983... we really had to go through a long and tiring trip, didn't we?
But with this, we're finally at the start line. Starting from here, we begin from zero.
......But... now that we have seen all these different pieces,
we can understand just how much thoughts and beliefs are gathering at June 1983.
In the past, I have said that the thoughts of people who aren't related to me are completely useless.... But that was totally untrue.
In order for Furude Rika to..... overcome the fate of June 1983, she will need to make every effort that she's capable of making.
There were two efforts that she made.
First, her contact with the Irie Institution, who is the most capable of protecting her from the disaster that is to befall upon her.
...Ironically, the Takano from that Irie Institution is aiming for my life, but... for Rika at this point, this is the best move.
And the other one... is for making Maebara Keiichi's whole family move to Hinamizawa.
The truth is, Maebara family's move to Hinamizawa is not absolute.
......Maebara's decision to move first came from that lot for sale tour day after meeting us and feeling deep emotions about it.
That's why, it was a neccesity for us to play at that empty field, and also an important key for Maebara family's move.
Can you imagine just how long it took for us to realize that?
Turning various conditions on and off over and over again, we finally realized that our meeting with Keiichi's father at that empty field was the key.
Maebara Keiichi is... the important key to breaking one of the chains that binds me, Rule Z.
The new fresh wind of power that has the ability to smash the old traditions and immoral habits of this village that tends to interpret everything in a twisted way.
He has created many chances......and provided me with an important key by letting me know that a strong will and the will to believe is important in standing up against a powerful fate.
...But, I wasn't the only one who wished for him.
It was also something that the people of Sonozaki family, who wanted to wipe out the immoral habits of this village, wished for.
Sonozaki Mion's heart pained at seeing the unreasonable angers from the villagers directed towards the Houjou family, at Satoko and Satoshi, and has sworn that she would at least try to protect them herself.
And on the night that Houjou Satoshi disappeared, she exploded on Sonozaki Oryou, and delivered her strong thoughts.
That thought... has reached Sonozaki Oryou.
Oryou has noticed the village's immoral habits somewhat herself, and wanted something to be done about it.
But she regretted for not having that power...... and entrusted the task to a new wind from outside instead.
That's why the land that the Maebara family will be moving into was put up for sale.
Even if I danced in that empty field, if Oryou hadn't put that lot up for sale, then Keiichi wouldn't have been able to come.
Also, Ryuugu Rena, who has provided various important clues to Maebara Keiichi, was hurt deeply from her parent's divorce, even reaching terminal condition once, yet was saved by returning to Hinamizawa.
Maebara Keiichi's prayer of wanting to reset everything that happened at the place he previously lived at, and restart everything anew was the same thing that Ryuugu Rena prayed for one year ago.
It's because Rena's like that... that she's able to understand Keiichi so well, I think.
And that, gave birth to a miracle... allowing someone from within a particular world piece to recognize events from another piece.
.........If we can make use of the things that we have learned from the other pieces, then nobody would make mistakes.
The game pieces will show their best moves, and the chance of winning against this game of June 1983 would skyrocket.
In other words, without realizing it herself, Ryuugu Rena is playing a very important role among the game pieces on this game board.
The powerful Rule Z that surrounded the Houjou siblings were eventually smashed beautifully by their great actions. (note: Minagoroshi-hen)
Of course, Sakoto overcoming herself from within was also a big help.
It was because both sides extended their hands that they were able to reach each other.
And it was Keiichi and Rena who taught us that.
...Mion was the one who made it possible for them to move here and become familiar with the village.
That's not all. Irie is also an important game piece that carries significant thoughts and functions.
Feeling empathy for Satoko, he also carries the biggest influence within the game board called Hinamizawa Syndrome, and is the biggest existence poised to smash Rule X.
Keiichi and Rena's determination and awakening simply taught us that it's possible to fight against Rule X, but does not break it.
To break through it in a true sense, the existence of Irie, who holds a strong will for the treatment of Hinamizawa Syndrome, is required.
I didn't know that Irie had this much thought and beliefs within him either.
I have always thought of him as nothing more than a silly person, but...... he was actually such a powerful game piece.
If all these powers gathered...... will we be able to win against Takano's thoughts and beliefs?
......We have seen Takano's thoughts too.
They are powerful to a point of being tragic... it will not be easy to break through them.
No matter how much we fight, it's obvious that the fate of June 1983 will not be shaken easily.
Since it contains so much more thoughts and beliefs then what I had managed to gather.
......I, who had given up on fighting and chose to live on lazily, and she, who has always risked her life to fight on, the weight of our game piece is different.
......Sulking and getting drunk with wines as an escape, just how light of a game piece was I?
...............With only these... it's still not enough to win against Takano.
In order to win, I have to gather more game pieces.
Oishi from the police has also shown us the possibility of becoming a powerful ally. (note: Minagoroshi-hen)
...However, there's still a big misunderstanding where Oishi believes the death of his admired friend was done by the hands of Sonozaki family. As long as that is not resolved, he won't become an ally.
...Although I don't know what I have to do to resolve that misunderstanding.........I can only believe that it will be resolved, and continue to throw the dice.
And then...... just like how Keiichi, Rena, and the others became a chance to change fate... Doesn't Akasaka also have the power to provide that chance?
The curse of 1983 is also the curse of Hinamizawa.
......A curse cannot be resolved with only powers from within. A power from outside is also required.
Our hands won't reach unless both sides extend them, just like what happend with Satoko.
But there hasn't been once where Akasaka remembered us and came to our help.
......Even if he did, it was always too late.... Too slow. Just too slow.
Even then, if I believe in him and continue throwing the dice...... Will a game piece named Akasaka appear on the game board as an ally one day?
The final Rule Y are the evil masterminds who's playing Takano like a pawn.
...To break through that, a powerful, powerful game piece is needed.... A game piece with that much power is... probably none other than Akasaka, who works at the police headquarters in Tokyo.
......There should still be more pieces who would lend their strengths.
Without having them all...... we can't win against that Takano.
The preparation of the game board is complete. But there's not enough pieces.
...Everything is still starting just now.
