xxxHOLiC 160 spoiler translation

[starlady]

I still have the physical pages of 159 lying around. Anyone willing to scan? Fans will soon owe nokiirat an electronic beer, or at the very least a hearty thanks.

Doumeki and Watanuki are at the fortune-teller's house, later.

Watanuki hears from Doumeki that Kohane wanted to give him, not her mother, the balloon.

Watanuki: I've always thought that "I have to be here."
          I also thought that "That's because my parents died, and I'm the only one left."
          Somehow, I've come to feel a little different.

Doumeki: ...Different how?

Watanuki: I don't know.
            Because I don't remember.

Doumeki: What d'you mean?

Watanuki: That's how it is.
             But.
             Even if I don't remember,
             As long as there are people who remember about me,
             I've come to think that "I want to be here."

                                                                                                                                       
Hah, the balloon. That makes me think of Ergo Proxy, which gives me weird thoughts of Kohane = Pino? If Kohane ever shows up in a rabbit suit, you'll know it's true.

Seriously, Clamp, get on with it. Unless they're trying to end HOLiC and TRC simultaneously?

You're too kind. :-)

Yeah, Japanese internet cafes are different from those in other countries, I've yet to encounter one with a scanner (just as I've yet to find one without a shower).
