This song tells the story of Ayano's past. It starts off when Kido, Seto, and Kano are introduced to Ayano by her mother.

Lyrics & Translation
思い出していたのは また、家族の事
 * -|Kanji=

「アヤノはお姉ちゃんだから 皆の事、よろしくね」

赤煉瓦の壁　小さな家の中で ひそひそ話そう　秘密の作戦みたいに

連れて来られた　三人の真っ赤な目には 大人に隠していた　過去がある

怯えた顔で　「僕は化物だから」 私は告げる　「そんなことはないよ」って

「真っ赤の色は主人公の色だから、 怯えたいなくても、良いんだよ」

面白い事　悩んでは 今日もお姉ちゃんぶって

「ほら、見ていて」 赤いマフラー巻き付けた

『秘密組織みたい！』

茜色、染めて、始めよう 小さな「ヒーローのフリ」だけど

「少しでも、また笑えたら」って 今日も家族でいよう

「幸せ」を願おう、先にある未来が どれだけ　悲しくても

「このことは秘密だよ」

楽しくて　陽が沈んだ

春風巡り　大人になった世界は 理不尽に曲がる　誰かの陰謀みたいに

膨らんで消えた　愛する人の涙は 誰も気付けなくて　黒くなる

狂い出していた 気付いたらもう

誰にも言えなくて

「嫌だ、嫌だよ. 壊れるのは」

幸せの終わる世界が来る

「茜色、お願い. これ以上、誰かの未来を壊さないで」

泣きながらまた、考える 笑顔に隠したまま

「赤目色、それが私なら 誰かの未来を　救えるかな」

不器用で　情けない 独りぼっちの作戦だ

私が消えた　あの日の秘密組織は ちゃんと笑って　暮らせているのかな

きっと、私は怒られちゃうなぁ だけど、ちゃんと「お姉ちゃん」になれたかな

思い出してみよう あの好きだった言葉

「幸せ」ってなんだか不思議 明日のこと　好きになれる

Omoi dashiteita no wa Mata, kazoku no koto

What I thought back on was, again, my family; "Ayano is your big sister, so get along with her, everyone!"

In a little house with red brick walls, They whisper to each other, as if making secret plans In the three pairs of red eyes brought here Lie pasts they have hidden from adults

With fear in their eyes, they cry "I'm just a monster" So I tell them, "That's not true at all" "Red is the color of a hero, so there's no need to be afraid"

Wondering what they would find fun, I am playing the big sister again "Hey, look!" I wrapped myself up in a red scarf; "We're like secret agents!"

Dyed in madder red, we'll begin, even if we're merely playing heroes "As long as we can manage just a little smile..." We will be family still today I pray for happiness in the future ahead, so however sad it may be... "Now keep this a secret!" The sun sets with us laughing

The spring breeze blows, and the now-adult world Is irrationally bent, as if conspired to be The thick and faded tears of loved ones Go unnoticed by all, turning black

Things had gone crazy, but by the time I noticed, I could not tell anyone "No, no, I don't want to be destroyed!" There came a world where happiness ends

"Red colored eyes, please. No more; don't bring ruin to anyone else's future." I thought as I cried again, keeping it hidden with a smile

"If I had those red eyes myself, could I save someone's future?" Awkward and shameful, this is my lonely plan

Now that I'm gone, I wonder if those secret agents Are still getting along, and smiling together? I'm sure they must be upset with me But I wonder if I have become their "big sister" now

Please try to remember that word I loved; "Happiness" is a curious thing, So I hope you can love tomorrow...
