  "That Summer"

"That Summer" is a short visual story included in the Angel Eyes artbook. On this page are scans of that story, and my own amateur translations. These scans vary in quality, for which I apoligize. The pages in Angel Eyes aren't numbered, or else I would have also provided page numbers alongside the scans... Well, either way, this is the entire story, every single page of it, without omissions. Enjoy!
