I lied


Now you have to read this

Tomoya and Tomoyo do ecchi things everyday. Tomoya comes back from work where he fixes electric goods, and Tomoyo will be there making dinner for him or something after coming back from school. They then proceed to do ecchi things (each day more and more ecchi), and Takafumi, Tomoyo's younger brother, always catches his sister in embarrassing situations.

Takafumi brings back Tomo, who turns out to be an illegitimate daughter of Tomoyo's father with Mishima-san.
- They live together; Tomoyo, whose weakness is young children, takes a great liking to Tomo.
- Takafumi sets up a computer in Tomoya's home.
- While seeing Tomo off into the kindergarten, Tomoyo notices some delinquents who intend to target Tomoyo's weakness (young children) and defeat her.
- Kanako, an old acquaintance of Takafumi's, is introduced and stays with them. Tomoya overhears that Kanako's mom wants to remarry, and she ran away from home. She came over to look for Takafumi, but he treats her coldly.



- Tomoya meets Mishima-san in the neighborhood around the Sakagami residence, and they strike a deal: Mishima-san will see her daughter one more time, but in exchange Tomoya and co. have to provide photos of Tomo every once in a while so she can see how her daughter's doing.
- That Sunday, Tomoya and Tomoyo bring Tomo to see her mother. Upon seeing her, Tomo runs up to her happily and hugs her, but the mother coldly rejects her and walks away. Seeing this, Tomoyo embraces Tomo and promises her she will take care of her and make her happy.



First Arc: The Delinquents

- A delinquent asks Tomoya, on his way home, to deliver a letter of challenge to Tomoyo.
- Tomoya reads the letter before going home, and decides he will go instead of Tomoyo, the reason being that if Tomoyo went to fight instead, Tomo would be targeted by the delinquents.
- That night, by the riverside, a huge group of delinquents gather, with the rules as follows: one-on-one fight, one person per night, so Tomoya is not disadvantaged by numbers. The signal for Tomoya to come to the riverside would be the bang of a firework, and a second firework bang signaled the start of the fight. Tomoya would pretend to be sending Takafumi home, and would tell Tomoyo to shower first.



- Tomoya defeats the first two with difficulty, but his persistence wins in the end. Returning home injured, Tomoyo gets worried, but Tomoya and Kanako lie to her that Tomoya was beaten up by Kanako for... vague reasons.
- The third delinquent is well-versed in boxing, and Tomoya has a hard time fighting him. Kanako, who has been watching him for the first few fights, steps in; turns out she is a skilled fighter as well. With her two tips, Tomoya teps back in and defeats the delinquent.
- In the day, Tomoya trains with Kanako to improve his fighting abilities, and at night he defeats the delinquents one by one, getting more and more skillful.
- Soon, Tomoya fights a very skilled delinquent and cannot defeat him, but he does not give up; doing so would mean Tomoyo has to step in, and his great love for Tomoyo does not allow this to happen. Despite being beaten up to the point of losing his consciousness, he does not give up, and his persistence wins the respect of the group of delinquents. They decide not to disturb them anymore.
- Tomoya, upon returning home, finds that Tomoyo and Tomo aren't there; panicking, he goes out to look for them. He finds them in the park, and, his injuries overcoming him, he collapses. In Tomoyo's arms, he asks her if he can finally rest; Tomoyo nods.



Second Arc: Takafumi's and Kanako's Past

- Tomoya becomes concerned with the relationship between Kanako and Takafumi. Kanako must have come with a purpose after all. He discusses the matter with Tomoyo and finds out the two used to go out, but their relationship soured after an incident three years ago, when Takafumi threw himself into the road to keep his family together. Tomoya decides to ask Takafumi himself, but Tomoyo warns him not to ask him directly.
- Tomoya challenges Takafumi in something Takafumi has confidence in winning; he decides on a typing game. The winner is allowed to get the other person to do anything. Tomoya (and Tomoyo) are completely computer illiterate, so naturally Takafumi kicks his ass.
- Tomoya does not give up however, and practices the typing game all the time, challenging Takafumi every night, but keeps losing. After one such event, Takafumi tells Tomoya that, if he wins the next time, his command would be to stop this game.
- Tomoya trains hard, and the next time they do it, Tomoya wins by a small margin.
- The next day, Takafumi helps Tomoya out in his work, and after shifting some heavy goods, Tomoya asks Takafumi to tell him about his benefactor (who is Kanako's father).
- Takafumi tells him all about how he had no aim in life and had given up on living, but his benefactor showed him how to live, make friends etc. His benefactor was in charge of the marathon club in school, and Takafumi soon became the ace of the club. He got on well with the people in the club, and with Kanako who, due to her tomboyish nature, was able to join in their manly conversations. Soon, the boys in the club become interested in Kanako, and one by one they confess to her, only to be rejected; apparently, she was interested in one of the boys. Takafumi is encouraged to confess to her too, and she accepts. However, soon enough, Takafumi throws himself onto the road in order to save his family from breaking apart, and his benefactor is very disappointed in him, forbidding him to go see Kanako. Furthermore, during this time, Kanako's parents were divorcing, and Kanako wondered why Takafumi never came to cheer her up when she needed him the most. Thus, Takafumi threw away his dream to save his family, and even until now has dreams of running in the marathon and winning, to prove he is worth his benefactor's trust.



- Tomoya tells Tomoyo the story, and she resolves to her Takafumi in his problems. They train him to run long distances, despite his leg muscles having atrophied due to his long hospitalization, and despite the blazing summer heat.
- Soon, they enroll Takafumi into the 15km marathon, and on the day, they run to and fro cheering for him. Towards the end, Takafumi feels like he's about to die; however, memories of his past come back to him, and his dream of winning spurs him on to make an amazing finish. He finished 31st and was disappointed; Kanako, however, is moved by his effort and forgives him for everything he had done.

Third Arc: The Village Devoid of Hope and Tomo's Reunion with her Mother

- One day, Tomoya comes back from work to find a letter from Mishima-san in the mailbox, reminding him to take some photos of Tomo for her.
- Tomoya, Tomoyo, Takafumi, Kanako, and Tomo all go to the park to play together. Tomoya takes photos of Tomo playing happily with Kanako.
- Couple days later, Tomoya and Tomoyo meet Mishima-san in the park and give the photos to her. Mishima-san asks Tomoya if Tomo is healthy and doing well, but says nothing more about herself. Tomoya asks her where she lives, and she says that cherry blossoms bloom in the Spring all over where she lives.
- They walk together to the station, and Mishima-san leaves; Tomoyo vows to be the strength of people who are burdened with worry.
- Tomoya and Tomoyo become interested in finding out why Mishima-san abandoned her daughter even though she obviously loved her still. Together, they, along with Takafumi and Kanako (well, Kanako didn't really help. All she did was enter 'poop' into the search bar) discover where she lived through the internet using tiny, tiny clues (ie. the paper the letter was written on, cherry blossoms all over the place, which possible train stations etc.)
- Tomoya, Tomoyo and Kanako (there's a choice as to who to bring with you; I picked Kanako) leave early next morning for the village Mishima-san resides in.



- Upon reaching there, everyone there seems unwilling to talk; they meet with the person in charge of the living quarters (which used to be a hospital during WWII), who brings them to Mishima-san's room.
- There, they hear Mishima-san's story. After a brief fling with Mr. Sakagami (Tomoyo's father), she was left alone with a new child. She continued to work nights in order to support her daughter. However, the other kids began to alienate Tomo because of who she was, and eventually the strain of taking care of Tomo in the day and working nights was too much for Mishima to bear, and she was admitted to hospital; she had contracted an incurable sickness and would eventually die. Moving to the village where others similar to her lived, it became obvious this was no place for a child to grow up in; as the person in charge of the place put it: "this is a place for those who have nothing"; all the people here no longer had any hope in life.
- Kanako tries to lighten the mood with a lame joke, but Tomoyo was moved to tears as she finally understood why Mishima-san abandoned her daughter like that. Tomoya promises himself to make this place habitable for Tomo.
- The next day, Tomoya fixes various electric goods around the village as a favor to them. At night, he goes for a walk, Kanako following him. Learning of Tomoya's decision to reunite Tomo with her mother, Kanako suggests creating a school in the village. Tomoya agrees, as impossible the task seemed to be.
- The next day, Tomoya goes with Tomoyo to the garbage heap to look for classroom materials. Finding a blackboard, he asks Tomoyo to help, but she misplaces her foot and falls. Tomoyo asks what Tomoya is doing in the garbage heap, and Tomoya tells her. Tomoyo's expression changes and feels extremely sorry for Tomo, how she has to go through multiple breakups and reunions with her mother even though she's so young and innocent. Tomoya feels it is best because the two of them are, after all, mother and child; Tomoyo disagrees, telling Tomoya this is probably the first time they disagreed on something. Tomoya, however, is adamant, and Tomoyo declares that she will not help him in this matter before walking away.
- Tomoya spends the whole day taking lights, chairs, tables, anything that can be used in the classroom, and works on changing an abandoned house into a school.



- The next day, Tomoya resumes work on the school, and Tomoyo appears in front of him. Tomoyo tells him that it's the summer holidays, and that they should all go and have fun at the beach or something. Tomoya declines, still adamant at reuniting Tomo with her mother, explaining that Tomo, whether she was smiling, laughing, having fun with them, whatever she did, she constantly thinks about her mother. Tomoyo desperately reminds Tomoya that she made a promise to Tomo that day at the park, that, in Mishima-san's place, she would take care of her, love her, and give her days full of happiness. Tomoya gets angry at Tomoyo for being so misunderstanding. Tomoyo suddenly smiles strangely and asks him why he's so angry, then goes on to say that Tomoya must be angry because, since Tomo came into their lives, they haven't had sex at all. She goes on to say that she doesn't mind if they do it here and now, and starts to undress Tomoya.
- Tomoya instead tells Tomoyo that, while he would gladly accept, this business with Tomo and her mother comes first, and asks Tomoyo if, he doesn't know what to do, if she could be by his side. Tomoyo distances herself from Tomoya and hangs her head. Kanako comes along and Tomoya asks her to watch over Tomoyo for now, as she seems to be mentally unstable at the moment.
- That night, Kanako reports to Tomoya what Tomoyo has been doing.
- The next couple of days, Tomoyo tries to go back to Tomo by herself first, to Tomoya's frustration. Failing to obtain Tomoya's consent the first day, she tries to sneak away the second day, only to be thwarted by Kanako taking her wallet in advance. Desperately, she cries to Tomoya and threatens to retreive the wallet from Kanako by force, but in the end walks away from the two of them dejectedly. Kanako continues to report to Tomoya every night about Tomoyo's condition.
- The next day, despite the rain, Tomoya decides to go to the garbage heap to look for cables. While pulling one out, he loses his balance and falls, losing his consciousness.
- He wakes up in the room they sleep in; turns out Kanako was nearby and, seeing Tomoya fall, screamed as loud as she could for help. Tomoyo and the villagers, hearing the cries, ran out into the rain to rescue him.
- The rain stops. The person in charge then tells Tomoya how Kanako became well-liked in the village community due to her lively nature, and that she was not useless at all, managing to befriend even the most timid villagers. As a result, she was able to change how the villagers lived their once monotonous lives for the better, looking forward into the future instead of being stuck in the present. A child would now be able to grow up properly in this environment; nothing short of a miracle from Kanako.
- Going to the building he had been working on, Tomoya sees that various people were working on converting it into a school, so that they can welcome Tomo, hoping she can bring life to the village like Kanako did.
- Mishima sees how the village is changing, and Tomoya tells Mishima that Tomo would follow her to the ends of the earth. Mishima agrees to live with Tomo once again.
- Tomoya calls back to extend his vacation and to tell Takafumi to bring Tomo over a few days later.
- Soon enough, the school becomes ready, and one of the villagers used to be a teacher and volunteers to take up the role again. The next few days, everyone works hard on setting up the school, including Tomoyo in her bear suit, and it is soon completed.



- Takafumi brings Tomo to the village. Tomoya asks Tomo if, despite knowing that Mishima-san would eventually die sometime in the future, if she still wanted to live with her mother. Tomo confidently nods, and Tomoya, Kanako, and Takafumi bid her farewell.
- Tomo then asks where Tomoyo is, and, since he hadn't seen her the entire day, he tells her that he doesn't know. As Tomo pulls out two dolls and asks Tomoya to give the bear doll to Tomoyo (the bear signifies Tomoyo, the panda signifies Tomo), Tomo spots a bear (Tomoyo in a bear suit) in the distance.
- The bear walks up to Tomo and presents her with a handmade flower wreath, then walks away. Tomoya desperately asks Tomoyo if it's really okay for her not to see Tomo off with a smile. Tomoyo replies that she can't, but Tomoya shoves the bear doll into her hands. Tomoyo then takes off the head; tears flow down her cheeks as she smiles at Tomo, tells her how much she loves her, and finally bids her a final, teary farewell. With that, Tomo runs off towards her mother, and Tomoyo sees her small figure retreating into the distance.

After Arc (full understanding of this arc requires you to have played the Tomoyo arc in the original Clannad game)

- Tomoya wakes up to find himself in a hospital room, with an unknown woman beside him.

- The woman asks him if he's alright, but Tomoya has on idea who she is. After calling the doctor in and obtaining his permission, the woman tells him that his name is Okazaki Tomoya, and that she is his girlfriend, Sakagami Tomoyo. She tells him that he has amnesia; his memories have reverted to the time right before he entered high school, and thus, he cannot remember Tomoyo at all. Turns out that he had collapsed one day due to the after-effects of head injury he had suffered in the village, and was admitted to the hospital.
- She tells him how they were once lovers, and that they had gone through a lot to get together: how Tomoya had suddenly kissed her in front of everyone, how they came to fall in love, how they had overcome obstacles and separated for a while, only to reunite etc. How Tomoya started living alone in an apartment close to the high school after graduating, how Tomoyo would come after school to do all the housework for him, how they spent everyday together happily. Tomoya could not remember any of this and, seeing how pretty the woman in front of him was, wonders how she became his girlfriend; none of what she had said felt real to him. Tomoyo confidently hopes that, when Tomoya returns home, and the two of them spend time together again, he would recover his memory. Seeing her like this, he tells her that, for her sake, he would try his best to recover his memory.
- Tomoya wonders why his father isn't here with him, and asks Tomoyo, but she does not tell him anything other than that his father had left everything to him, and that Tomoya lived alone since graduating; he had forgotten all about how his father had injured his arm to the point where he could no longer lift it up.
- The next day, Tomoyo comes to pick Tomoya up from the hospital, and brings him to the school where they had met and gone out together. Tomoya is unable to remember anything.
- Tomoyo brings Tomoya back home, and puts on an apron and begins cooking lunch. Seeing her body from the back, Tomoya feels contented, but Tomoyo tells him not to do anything ecchi, since today is the day he got out from hospital, and is thus a day to remember. Tomoya, having the heart of an innocent middle-school boy, stutters "e-ecchi?!", and Tomoyo tells him that whenever she was cooking, he would come and embrace her from the back, then start doing ecchi things. Naturally, he has a hard time believing it. Tomoyo suggests that he watches the TV while waiting, but he recognizes none of the faces and turns it off.
- The next few days, Tomoyo repeatedly brings Tomoya to the school, and tells him all about their past together, about Sunohara, how Tomoya kept coming to school late and skipping class, how he helped her become the student council president etc. Unfortunately, Tomoya has yet to show signs of recovery.
- One day, Tomoya tells Tomoyo that he wants to kiss her; Tomoyo accepts, and they kiss. Tomoya says Tomoyo's name, and Tomoyo tenderly does the same; Tomoya proceeds to say 'thank you', and is startled to discover that Tomoyo looked very disappointed as she turned her head away saying "that's it?", before getting up, smiling, and walking over to the kitchen to do the dishes. Tomoyo then jokingly tells Tomoya that he wasn't very good at kissing at all, that he didn't use his tongue much. Telling him that sort of kiss is known as a 'deep kiss', she promises him that, the next time they kiss, she would show him what it's like.
- Seven days after Tomoya had woken up in the hospital, Tomoya begins to feel a slight headache at the back of his head and tells Tomoyo that, wondering if he caught the 'flu or something. Tomoyo, with a sad face, insists that they visit the school once more. Tomoya follows reluctantly, and the two of them remain silent.
- In front of the school gate, on Tomoya's request, Tomoyo tells Tomoya all about how Takafumi had thrown himself onto the road to keep his family together, how Tomoyo entered this school and tried to become the student council president in order to save the cherry blossom trees they had loved so much. Tomoyo tells Tomoya that, in order to help her accomplish her goal, Tomoya had broken up with her, because he felt that he had been a burden to her. Tomoyo goes on to tell him how, on a snowy day, the two of them had reunited and become lovers shortly thereafter.
- Tomoyo tells Tomoya how she believed the school was a special place to the two of them, because this was where everything started, as well as where Tomoya had returned to her. Tomoya, by now, had already fallen in love with Tomoyo all over again, and gives her three magic words: "I love you".

- Tomoyo is moved to tears, and tells Tomoya she loves him too. Tomoyo then tells Tomoya that it's almost the time when his memories would revert back to the time before entering high school once again.
- A short sequence of typed sentences tell of how Tomoyo had told Tomo to be strong and overcome any situation, no matter how painful or difficult, and that she promised to do the same.
- In fact, several days after Tomoya had suffered from that accident back in the village, he suddenly lost his consciousness and was admitted to hospital. He had amnesia when he woke up, but the doctor and Tomoyo were optimistic that Tomoya would recover his memory soon enough if Tomoyo worked hard enough. A week later, Tomoya suddenly fainted again and, when he woke up again, he had reverted back to what it had been a week ago, all the memories of what had happened that week disappearing. Tomoyo had desperately brought him everywhere, to onsens reputed at curing diseases, bringing him to people he had known eg. Sunohara, Takafumi, Kanako etc., but to no avail; seven days after waking up, he would faint again and,.upon waking up, his memory would reset. Tomoyo tells Tomoya that this vicious cycle had repeated over and over again for three years now. At the end of every week, a slight pain at the back of the head would foreshadow the resetting of his memory, and Tomoyo tells him this was the reason she had forced him to come to school with her despite his headache; they were running out of time, again.
- However, up until now, at the end of every week, Tomoya would only say 'thank you', and Tomoyo tells him this was not what she wanted to hear; but now, after three years, after three long and painful years, she finally heard him say the three magic words she had not heard ever since he lost his consciousness three years ago.
- Tomoyo decides to take a chance and tells Tomoya that there is an operation that can heal his condition, but the success rate is less than 50%, involving the removal of a blood clot at a dangerous position; but, should it succeed, the chance of him recovering his memories is very high. Tomoyo wanted more than anything for Tomoya to recover his memory, but she was frightened at the prospect of losing him forever, should the operation fail, and so she chose to suffer this endless cycle instead. Hearing Tomoya tell her he loved her meant everything to her; their love was forever.
- Tomoya thinks about how difficult it must have been for Tomoyo, yet she remained by his side, only to hear three words from him. "Marry me, Tomoyo."
- Tomoyo gives a soft "eh?" before Tomoya explains that he believes their love is forever, and that he wants to live together for the rest of their lives; for that, he decides to do the operation. Tomoyo, crying tears of happiness, accepts his marriage proposal. Tomoya proceeds to tell her that, even if he forgets everything up until now after waking up after the operation, he would still love Tomoyo, forever. As his headache gets worse, he tells her there's no need to feel sad, and that he does not want her crying face to be the last thing he sees before losing consciousness. Tomoyo smiles, telling him she would wait for him as his consciousness disappeared...
- The next day, Tomoya wakes up to find himself in a hospital room, with an unknown woman next to him. The woman then tells him that his name is "Tomoya", which Tomoya repeats. Tomoya asks who she is; she tells him that her name is "Okazaki Tomoyo", and his name is "Okazaki Tomoya", and that they are family. She takes his hand and Tomoya sees that, on both their ring fingers, they were wearing the same ring. Tomoya somehow remembers that he loved this woman, and tells her that he loves her; Tomoyo tells him she loves him too.

[iguana8]

- The day before the operation, Tomoyo brings Tomoya back to visit his father. Noticing how clean the house was, Tomoya sits on the table quietly as Tomoyo tells Tomoya's father that they are getting married, and that Tomoya will go through the operation. Tomoya notices that his father looked a lot older and thinner than he remembered. However, his father still talked to Tomoya as if he was a stranger and, unable to bear it, leaves the house with harsh last words. Tomoyo, however, tells him that his father has been constantly cleaning the house, everyday, in case Tomoya ever needed to come back, in case Tomoya ever wanted to live with him again, to rely on him again, even though he knew Tomoya hated him a lot. Tomoya then realizes that, perhaps, he might be able to forgive his father for what he had done to him, and tells him that he would come again.
- That night, Tomoyo fufills the promise she had made earlier about giving him a deep kiss, despite Tomoya having no memory of the promise. After telling Tomoya that, as lovers, they had gone much, much further, she proceeds to take the lead. They have sex, Tomoyo directing the whole thing because, due to his memory loss, Tomoya was a good as a virgin, finishing inside a short while after putting it in.

- Afterwards, Tomoyo pleads Tomoya to hold her closer, unable to sleep due to the impending operation. They tell each other they love each other, listen to each other's heartbeats, and Tomoya, once again, tells Tomoyo that he believes their love is eternal.

Epilogue

This was written as a bunch of sentences; the idea is that Tomoyo had written their after story in the form of a story using the pen-name "The Bear of the Forest". Unfortunately, the operation was not successful, but as for Tomoya's memory recovery, it was good; the first thing he remembered after Tomoyo went to see him in the intensive care ward was her name, which caused Tomoyo to break down and cry tears of happiness like a little girl. The rest of the text tells of how no matter what happened, she would overcome it, because, thanks to Tomoya, she had found the "treasure of life" (the strength to overcome any adversity or hardship). Walking together, she tells of how the world could be so beautiful, so wonderful, because Tomoya was beside her. Tomoya eventually falls asleep, never to wake again as the two of them watch the sun set together. Tomoyo says despite the sadness, despite being left alone, she will overcome it all, because the two of them had found the "treasure of life".

The ending credits is a slideshow of snapshots of the lives of the five main characters after the ending: Tomoya, Tomoyo, Takafumi, Kanako, and Tomo.
