Chapitre 200: Stopped Time

[02]
Mokona: You really did your best ever since you were that small,
For the sake of what you'd decided.

Jr.: I think it was just because I was small
That I was able to decide. 

Mokona: Shaoran...

Jr.: Whom to protect. 

How difficult and heavy a thing that is. 

[03]
Jr.: I was still young, and

I didn't understand its true meaning. 

But in Clow country,
I spent time with the people in the castle and everyone below it

And together with Sakura as well. 

[04]
Jr.: I really
Thought from my heart

That no matter how difficult that was,
No matter what tough thing happened,

[05]
That I didn't want

To let Sakura die. 

[06]
FX: Gently

[07]
Jr.: But

No matter how I searched,
Without my finding a way to erase that seal,

That day came. 

[08]
Jr.: Though the princess has her birthday today, 
I've done nothing...

Fujitaka: We too can do nothing.

Certainly the guilt is not yours.

Jr.: But...

[09]
Jr.: When
That seal was carved upon her, I couldn't do anything. 

Even though I was always by the princess's side after that...

Nadeshiko: Everything is not decided.

Not yet...

Touya: Why's the kid here?

[10]
Fujitaka: Since it's the princess' important coming of age,

FX: 

We called
Not just ourselves, but those she'd definitely want to see there. 

Touya: Even if you say that,

FX: Step

Sakura and the kid are still just kids. 

[11]
Touya: ...What?
Your stomach hurt or something?

Jr.: .....

FX: Chime

Chime

Chime

[12]
FX: Chime

Jr.: ...Sakura.

[13]
Sakura: You came. 

Jr.: Your birthday
...Congratulations.

Sakura: Thank you, Shaoran.

[14-15]
FX: Suddenly

[16]
Jr.: SAKURA!!!

[17]
FX: Sudden complete stop

[18]
Nadeshiko: I stopped
Time.

But
Even with all of my power, it won't last more than a few...moments.

When time...moves,
Sakura will...be completely
Engulfed...
By that...seal.

Those who...can see that seal

Are only
You and I. 

Save...Sakura...

[19]
FX: Chime

FX: Disappointment

Jr.: If I had taken her hand then

Sakura wouldn't be in this state now

If I could return to that time, I'd...


[20]
FWR: I'll grant that wish. 

                                                                     
Seriously one of the creepiest moments in the whole series, right there. Come on Shaoran, WTF? Instead of thinking how to save her in the present, you immediately think of turning back time? No. 

Everyone really is trying to stack the deck in their own favor--Jr. and FWR in particular, but Clow and Yuuko too, I think. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. We know what happens to schemers.
