So far, this episode surpassed the drama of Episode 6. This episode is entitled, "1 Litre of Tears", and it is rightly named. Here, Aya finally decides on her future - a school for the disabled - that is, after overhearing a class discussion led by Tomita-san about her condition. Asou-kun intervenes and defends Aya (URESHII~). He also uses the term "omae" - which is an informal way of saying "you" in Japanese - while speaking to his teacher. After saying some heart-touching stuff, he runs out of the room and helps Aya by carrying her down the stairs. The two of them spend a tearful scene outside the school (specifically, in the place where they first meet) as depicted by the screenshot above. Aya announces her decision to her family, to which she tells her mother not to quit her health consultant job and her father to quit his part-time job. Everyone is relieved. The next day, Aya announces her decision to her classmates and thanks them. All of them are reduced to crying, even Tomita-san. About to leave the school grounds, Aya and her parents are temporarily stopped by her classmates. They sing the song, "March 9th" - their song for the choir competition - as a goodbye song to Aya (led by Asou-kun).
Aya's speech, while she was saying goodbye, was very nice and touching.

Oh. We also found a site with the English translation of Kito Aya's diary, "1 Litre of Tears": http://onelitre.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=OneLitre&nextdate=3%2f25%2f2006+21%3a27%3a5.560
