Watanuki: ...Doumeki.

Doumeki: What?
----------------------
!!! page 02-03
Watanuki: ...I will succeed to this shop.
----------------------
!!! page 04
Watanuki: Yuuko-san said that she would grant my first wish,

But I won't get rid of the power to see spirits.

With this power,

And with this shop, I can grant the wishes of different people and of things that aren't people,
And protect this shop.

I'll keep it for a long, long time.
----------------------
!!! page 05
Watanuki: Until I can meet Yuuko-san again.
----------------------
!!! page 06
Doumeki: You'll do the store while you're attending school?

Watanuki: I won't go.
----------------------
!!! page 07
Watanuki: That's not it.

I can't go.

I can't leave this store any more.

Doumeki: ...What do you mean?
----------------------
!!! page 08
Watanuki: That

Is the price.
----------------------
!!! page 09
Watanuki: Because I've decided to hold it
Forever,

I've decided to pay the "time" within me as the price. [TN: "Time" written "moments."]

I can't leave the store any more.

I won't age any more.

Doumeki: Does that mean you won't die?
----------------------
!!! page 10
Watanuki: There's no living thing that doesn't die.

No matter how much we wish, people die.
----------------------
!!! page 11
Watanuki: So
I too will die.
Someday, absolutely.

But
Until then
----------------------
!!! page 12
Watanuki: Until I can meet Yuuko-san,

For a long,
Long time,

I will be in charge of this shop.

FX: Rustle

Doumeki: So this

Is his
...Choice, huh?
----------------------
!!! page 14
Doumeki: So therefore this, only once--
No, that there will be no more than one necessity to use it.

Certainly...

I can't use it on him.

FX: Soft clink

FX: Inhalation

FX: Cough cough cough

Cough...
----------------------
!!! page 16
FX: Inhaling

It's actually downright freaky how much Watanuki looks like Clow. Also, how perfect a touch is it that he coughs the first time? Can you still get lung cancer if you're not aging? Watanuki, futoukou! Sort of.
