    It's pathetic enough to make you cry.
[02:53] Rika
    I wonder what Ohara-kun thought.
[02:58] Rika
    Looks like he's off today.
[03:00] Rika
    What a relief.
[03:02] Nonoyama
    Good morning, Komiya-san.
[03:05] Komiya
    Good morning. Sure is hot.
[03:09] Nonoyama
    Whoa, look.
[03:12] Komiya
    Shinshi-san?!
[03:14] Isojima
    H-He dyed his hair blond?!

[03:48] Takuya
    I keep asking myself why I went and did that.
[03:54] Takuya
    I want to do yesterday over again.
[03:57] Takuya
    I bet I could reload if this was a game.
[04:05] Takuya
    S-Stop that, Kama.
[04:09] Takuya
    It must be because I haven't
    spent enough time around women.
[04:14] Takuya
    I lost my mind.
[04:17] Takuya
    Sounds like a junior-high excuse, though.
[04:20] Takuya
    No, wait.
[04:22] Takuya
    It could be Honjoji-san was
    planning to give me an answer.
[04:26] Takuya
    Yeah, she's a quiet person. Thirty minutes
    of silence might be business as usual!
[04:31] Takuya
    Did I leave too soon?
[04:34] Takuya
    No, there's no way.
[04:35] Takuya
    This is me trying to twist things around.
[04:39] Takuya
    Wh-Who's there?!
[04:41] Rika
    Ohara-kun, I'm sorry about last night!
[04:44] Rika
    I'd like to go out with you!
[04:46] Takuya
    No, no! That's not going to happen!
[04:49] Takuya
    Who is it?
[04:51] Gonda
    Hi there, Ohara-san!
[04:57] Takuya
    Gonda... What do you want?
[05:00] Gonda
    Sorry to bug you on your day off.
[05:03] Gonda
    I need to talk with you
    about something, Master.
[05:04] Takuya
    Gonda.
[05:05] Takuya
    Give up on Komiya-san.
[05:07] Takuya
    Office romances are a terrible idea.
[05:09] Gonda
    Master, you're not doing so hot.
[05:11] Takuya
    I told you, I'm not your master.
[05:14] Takuya
    I don't understand romance or women at all.
[05:17] Takuya
    I'm the one who needs some coaching!
[05:20] Gonda
    It's not about Komiya-chan today.
[05:24] Gonda
    It's about an app!
[05:26] Takuya
    An app?
[05:27] Gonda
    Right, a dating app!
[05:28] Gonda
    I've gotten into this lately!
[05:31] Gonda
    At first I thought these things
    were worthless junk.

    I know all about it!
[05:42] Gonda
    All about it! All about it!
[05:44] Takuya
    Y-You serious?
[05:46] Gonda
    What? You doubt me?
[05:48] Gonda
    Want to join me, then, Master?
[05:51] Gonda
    Today, I'm meeting up with someone
    from the app. You should come along!
[05:56] Gonda
    I do know all about it, but I'm a little 
    insecure about meeting up with a woman.
[06:03] Takuya
    Huh?
[06:06] Takuya
    What?!
[06:08] Takuya
    G-Gonda, that's you?!
[06:11] Gonda
    Nice pic, huh?
[06:13] Gonda
    I've spent sixty thousand on this dating app!
[06:15] Takuya
    Sixty thousand?!
[06:16] Takuya
    These apps cost that much?
[06:18] Gonda
    That's a typical amount.
[06:21] Gonda
    Everyone's going all-in on apps right now,
    so it costs that much to get in the door!
[06:26] Gonda
    Everyone at work who got married
    recently got started with an app.
[06:30] Gonda
    Like Yoshimura-san at the
    head office and Imai-san!
[06:33] Takuya
    Oh, they did?
[06:34] Gonda
    Yes, they just don't mention it.
[06:37] Gonda
    I think it'd be fine if they did, though.
[06:39] Gonda
    So many people use them.
[06:40] Gonda
    The era of drinking parties
    and mixers is behind us.
[06:44] Takuya
    Oh yeah?
[06:46] Takuya
    Oh, but don't you have your
    sights set on Komiya-san?
[06:49] Gonda
    You bet.
[06:51] Gonda
    But that's like a dream.
[06:53] Gonda
    I'm not getting any closer to being with her,
    but I'm getting older all the time.
[06:59] Gonda
    The one and only asset I have is youth!
[07:03] Gonda
    I don't look like much,
    and I don't get paid much.
[07:06] Gonda
    No one's eager to marry a guy like me.
[07:10] Gonda
    I want to find a companion
    while I'm young at least.
[07:13] Takuya
    So, why am I here with you?
[07:16] Gonda
    Because, Master, I'm in a bad slump.
[07:20] Gonda
    At first I tried contacting cutie after cutie,
    but they didn't give me the time of day.

    No, it wasn't like that. Uh...
[20:02] Ichika
    But listen, Gon-chan.
[20:04] Ichika
    It's a big decision, letting
    someone meet your kid.
[20:07] Ichika
    I'd use my kid to scare away
    a guy who won't take a hint,
[20:11] Ichika
    but Kaori's not that sort of person.

[20:20] Ichika
    Sorry, Gon-chan.
[20:24] Ichika
    I guess it's not my place to say.
[20:35] Gonda
    Master, I'm going to stop talking
    about marriage and stuff.
[20:41] Gonda
    When it comes to marriage, I was all talk.
[20:44] Gonda
    I wasn't ready at all.
[20:48] Takuya
    I doubt anyone can be ready for that stuff.
[20:57] Gonda
    Kaori had faith in me, and I flinched.
[21:02] Gonda
    I really regret it.
[21:05] Gonda
    I went and hurt Kaori's feelings.
[21:11] Gonda
    I'm the worst!
[21:18] Takuya
    No, Gonda. You're amazing.
[21:23] Takuya
    Truly amazing.
[21:26] Takuya
    Have I ever taken Honjoji-san
    into consideration this much?
[21:29] Takuya
    Enough to move me to tears?
