The course of love doesn't always run true. Nagisa may have accepted Tomoya's proposal, but her father, Akio, withholds his permission until Tomoya can meet his terms... and even if that can be achieved, darker clouds are gathering that will shatter their dreams forever, as Nagisa's health begins declining. When what should be a happy moment, turns instead into tragedy, Tomoya's rage and frustration at being unable to do more than be by Nagisa's side leaves him unable to handle the responsibility left to him. But the story is not yet over, and there is still another act to follow. Happiness can still be attained, provided that Tomoya holds onto love, the most precious thing of all.
