Once the song finishes, the listener is shown an outro video, determined by both the route they are on (the result of the [[Yoru no Karma ga Miseta Yume (Prologue_Edition)#Route Selection|first choice]]) and what they chose for the second choice. If for the [[Yoru no Karma ga Miseta Yume (Prologue_Edition)#Route Selection|first choice]] the '''Left''' option was chosen, {{LanguageInline|jp=[[Koi wa Hate Made Tomaranai (Prologue Edition)|恋は果てまで止まらない]]|ro=[[Koi wa Hate Made Tomaranai (Prologue Edition)|Koi wa Hate Made Tomaranai]]|en=[[Koi wa Hate Made Tomaranai (Prologue Edition)|Love Won't Stop Till the End]]}} will play next.

    <div class="language-target en-content">
A certain boy's memories<br>
<br>
<span class="lyric-title">'''I’m''' the only one that’s <span class="lyric-life">alive</span>, right?</span><br>
<br>
<span class="lyric-italic">It is a ruin of emptiness,<br>
The memories of a boy.<br>
What kind of questions will this episode ask of life?<br>
</span>
<br>
-'''I''' have never..even once...<br>
Wanted to “<span class="lyric-life">live</span>”...<br>
<br>
But it’s not like...<br>
I wanted to “<span class="lyric-death">die</span>” either...<br>
<br>
But I guess...I can’t do anything about being <span class="lyric-life">born</span>...<br>
So I might as well <span class="lyric-life">live</span> on cheerfully-<br>
<br>
-'''I''' couldn’t believe<br>
In the existence of such a thing called [love]...<br>
<br>
An adult male’s body is made up of <span class="lyric-life"><approximately 60%> water</span><br>
And if <span class="lyric-death"><0.xxx%> of impurities</span> within that is enough to blow [love] away, <br>
Then it’s nothing but a fantasy-<br>
<br>
So like, cats can land safely no matter how high they jump from, right!?<br>
Then it’s time to experiment!<br>
How many floors does it take for a cat to go straight to heaven?!<br>
<br>
How high can we raise the temperature?<br>
How long can you hold your breath?<br>
Can you stay conscious while someone beats you with a bat!?<br>
<br>
Surely '''I''' must be the only <span class="lyric-life">living</span> being that actually experiences pain when beaten!<br>
How else can you explain all these terrible acts!?<br>
<br>
Hey,<br>
Stop pretending to be in pain.<br>
Stop pretending to be scared.<br>
Stop pretending to have fun or to love.<br>
<br>
You’re all just <marionettes> playing your roles.<br>
Stop acting like you have a heart.<br>
<br>
'''I’m''' the only one that’s alive, right?<br>
<br>
Hey...<br>
Please just tell me the truth...?<br>
