『私のを対価にして‥』小羽の口から、ついに告げられた願い!!母への想いは侑子にどう届く!?

侑子「最後の失踪した夫の末路も」「お母様に関する事でさえも。」
   「噂は消せても過去は消えない」「貴方達親子の間にあった事もね」
   「でもね」「そこからまた始める事は出来る」「決めたんでしょう?」「先に幸せになって待つって」
小羽「‥‥はい」
侑子「全ては」「混じり合って関わり合って」「お互いに影響を与え合って生きている」
   「ほんの些細な出逢いでも」「心も躯も変わっていく」
   「辛い思いをした貴方だからこそ、本当の幸せが何か分かってる」
   「きっと、お母様にそれを教えてあげられるわ」「貴方がそう信じてさえいれば」
   「それに」「もし何かあったらうちのバイト君もいつでも駆けつけるでしょうしね」
小羽「‥‥でも」「君尋君にいっぱい迷惑かけたのに」
侑子「小羽ちゃんが会ってくれなくなったら」「四月一日泣き暮らすわよ」
黒モコナ「号泣だ!」「すっごい情けないぞ!(小羽の手の上でくるくるダンス)」
侑子「それに言ったでしょう」「ヒトは関わり合って変わる」
   「四月一日も小羽ちゃんに逢って変わったの」「一方的な関係なんてないわ」
   「貴方が四月一日に支えられていると思うなら」「四月一日も貴方に支えられてるの」
小羽「‥ありがとう」「‥‥わたし」「ここに座った短い時間で」
   「もう四回も「ありがとう」って言った」「ずっと、そんな言葉言ってなかったのに」
黒モコナ「もっとたくさん言えるぞ」「これからは」
花吹雪舞う傘の下、侑子は優しげな笑みを向けている。
5度目の「ありがとう」が儀式の合図。4ページかけて抜き出した能力の正体は…↓

xxxHOLiC 156

“Take my power as payment…” from Kohane’s mouth, finally the wish is revealed! How will Yuuko receive her feelings toward her mother!?

Yuuko: The last things related to her absconded husband, and even the things related to your mother—
Even if the rumors are erased, the past will not disappear. The same goes for the things that happened between your parents.
But from there, you can make a beginning. You’ve decided, haven’t you? Earlier you said “I’ll wait to be happy.”

Kohane: …Yes.

Yuuko: Everything is blended and mixed up together. We live mutually influencing each other.
Even from a mere chance meeting, body and heart will change.
You who have experienced such harsh memories surely understand what happiness is.
You can certainly teach that to your mother, if you believe that.
Besides, if something happens, my part-timer will certainly come rushing over.

Kohane: …But, even though I’ve caused Kimihiro-kun so much trouble…

Yuuko: If he hadn’t met you, Kohane-chan, Watanuki would spend his days crying in sorrow.

Mokona (dancing like a top on Kohane’s hand): Lamentation! He’d be so miserable!

Yuuko: Besides, I told you, didn’t I? People change from their involvements.
You and Watanuki met and changed. There are no one-sided relationships.
If you think you’re being supported by Watanuki, you are supporting Watanuki as well.

Kohane: Thank you… I… Though I’ve sat here for such a short time, I’ve already said “thank you” four times. Even though I never said those words for so long…

Mokona: You can say it more, from now on!

Beneath the umbrella of the sakura that dance as they fall, Yuuko gives her a kind smile.

The fifth time saying “thank you” is the sign of the ceremony. Four pages later, the true shape of Kohane’s power is…

Kohane’s power brought forth one of Sakura's feathers!? Kohane, Watanuki, and Sakura. Where is the fate of these shaken three?
                                                                                                                                                                        
I didn't bother to translate the comments, because they're unrelated, except that he or she believes this is the end of the volume.

Also, if anyone has a better suggestion for [激震する」than "shaken," どうぞ。
                                                                                                                                                                              
So Kohane-chan had a feather. Um, holy crap. I was thinking that Clamp wouldn't allow any more connections between the HOLiC and TRC worlds than those we've already seen (since the HOLiC world is the world of so many other Clamp series). Seems I was wrong. But what is Yuuko going to do with the feather? Can it even be sent along? Or is she going to hoard it?

Well, maybe this explains how it's possible that Watanuki and Kohane's hearts are closer than anyone, but at the same time Watanuki is the closest person to Shaoran? Oh, wait, or maybe not.
