SIGN    Episode 1
SIGN    Nice to Meet You
[02:13] Hananoi
    What does love mean to you?
[02:17] Hananoi
    To me, it's something you only devote
    to one person in life. Your soulmate.
[02:23] Hananoi
    So maybe I didn't show you enough love.
[02:27] Hananoi
    Or maybe... you were never my
    soulmate in the first place.
[02:38] Ex
    You're blaming this on me?!
[02:39] Hibiki
    Oh, scary. A breakup fight?
[02:42] Hibiki
    Wait, isn't that guy Hananoi-kun?
[02:46] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun?
[02:47] Hibiki
    You don't know him, Hotaru?!
[02:49] Hibiki
    Come on! The popular boy from the class
     next door whose height and looks
[02:52] Hibiki
    everyone agrees are in the 99th percentile?
[02:55] Hibiki
    No?! This girl couldn't care less!
[03:00] Hotaru
    Oh, sorry. It's hard enough for me
     to remember my own classmates.
[03:05] Hotaru
    A whole other class would be...
[03:07] Hibiki
    It's December already!
[03:09] Ex
    Fine then!
[03:10] Ex
    You'll never be in a proper
    relationship anyway!
[03:25] Hibiki
    I guess even hot guys go
    through horrible breakups.
[03:31] Hotaru
    How could you say something so mean
     to someone you once liked?
[03:36] Hibiki
    As they say, a love too strong
    can become a hate even stronger.
[03:39] Hibiki
    You'll understand once
     you fall in love too, Hotaru.
[03:43] Hotaru
    When you fall in love,
[03:44] Hotaru
    your special someone becomes more
    important than friends and family, right?
[03:48] Hotaru
    I don't really get that,
    so I don't think it's for me.
[03:51] Hibiki
    That same old excuse again?
[03:53] Hibiki
    Well, I'd like to take this moment
     to make an announcement.
[03:57] Hibiki
    I have a boyfriend now!
[04:00] Hotaru
    Oh. Congrats.
[04:02] Hibiki
    Way too sedate!
[04:03] Hibiki
    You're supposed to get all excited!
[04:05] Hibiki
    Or at least lament,
     "You can't leave me all alone!"
[04:08] Hotaru
    That's kinda asking a lot, Kyo-chan.
[04:12] Hotaru
    My name is Hinase Hotaru.
[04:13] Hotaru
    I'm almost sixteen, and I'm in my
    first year of high school.
[04:17] Hotaru
    I've lived my life free of romance,
[04:18] Hibiki
    Anyway, thanks for listening.
[04:21] Hotaru
    No problem. Good luck!
[04:21] Hotaru
    but I'm blessed with friends and family.
[04:22] Hibiki
    See you!
[04:23] Hotaru
    Until next time!
[04:25] Hotaru
    If I can keep spending my days peacefully,
    enjoying the little things in life,
[04:30] Hotaru
    that's enough for me,
    even if I never fall in love.
[04:35] Hotaru
    Or, at least, that's what I thought.
[04:42] Hotaru
    No umbrella? The breakup
    must've really been a shock...
[04:48] Hotaru
    I still don't get it, though.
    Why do people fall in love in the first place?
[04:53] Hotaru
    What in the world does it feel like?
[05:02] Hotaru
    U-Um, you'll catch a cold like this.
[05:12] Hotaru
    I never imagined the umbrella
    I held out for him that day...
[05:17] Hananoi
    You're Hinase Hotaru-chan, right?
[05:21] Hananoi
    Nice to meet you.
[05:23] Hananoi
    I like you.
[05:25] Hananoi
    Will you go out with me?
[05:29] Hotaru
    ...would change my life forever.
[05:33] Hotaru
    Never in my wildest dreams.
[05:39] passerby A
    Check out that guy! Isn't he super hot?
[05:44] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan! Good morning.
[05:47] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun? G-Good morning.
[05:50] Hotaru
    Were you waiting for me?
[05:52] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[05:53] Hotaru
    Even though I politely declined yesterday?
[05:57] Hananoi
    I thought I should give you a chance
     to get to know me first.
[06:06] boy student A
    Hey, over there!
    Is that the girl Hananoi asked out?
[06:10] boy student A
    How wild is it to do that
     in front of the whole class?
[06:13] boy student B
    I guess hotties can get away with that stuff.
[06:16] boy student B
    I figured she'd be a real babe or something.
[06:16] Hananoi
    Mind telling me about
    what sorts of things you like?
[06:18] boy student A
    Hey! She'll hear you!
[06:21] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan? Hotaru-chan?
[06:25] Hotaru
    S-Sorry! What is it?
[06:27] Hananoi
    Oh, I was just asking about what you're into.
[06:31] Hananoi
    What about hairstyles and stuff?
[06:33] Hotaru
    Hairstyles?
[06:35] Hotaru
    I guess short hair is a lot easier to wash.
[06:38] Hananoi
    Short hair, huh?
[06:41] Hotaru
    Listen...
[06:43] Hotaru
    Would you tell me why you chose me?
[06:46] Hananoi
    When you held your umbrella out for me,
    I thought, "This girl must be my soulmate."
[06:51] Hotaru
    You said that yesterday too.
[06:57] Hananoi
    Well, I get approached by lots of people,
[07:01] Hananoi
    but once we start talking,
    they always drift away.
[07:03] girl student A
    He asked her out in front of everyone.
[07:04] Hananoi
    They find me strange or creepy.
    I guess they get disillusioned.
[07:07] girl student B
    She's not what I expected at all!
[07:09] Hananoi
    People like the way I look, so they have
    all these weird expectations of me.
[07:15] Hananoi
    And then there was you, Hotaru-chan,
    who just talked to me like it was no big deal.
[07:22] Hananoi
    Maybe that's why.
[07:27] Hananoi
    See you.
[07:29] Hibiki
    H-Hotaru! What are you doing coming
    to school with Hananoi-kun?!
[07:33] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan, Shibamu! Good morning.
[07:36] Tsukiha
    Morning.
[07:37] Hibiki
    What gives?! Did you decide
     to go out with him after all?
[07:39] Hibiki
    You can't leave me all alone!
[07:42] Hotaru
    No, no.
[07:43] Hotaru
    Though he did say...
[07:45] Hotaru
    "Why don't you get to know me first
    and then think it over?"
[07:49] Tsukiha
    Huh. Well, how's it going? Has your
    impression of him changed after a day?
[07:55] Hotaru
    Hmm...
[07:57] Hotaru
    He's kind of enigmatic.
SIGN    The Next Day
SIGN    A winter-exclusive cafeteria delicacy
SIGN    Get them to go!
SIGN    Back this year!
    Braised Pork Buns
[08:06] Hananoi
    That looks heavy.
[08:07] Hotaru
    Oh, thanks. I was taking
    it to the faculty room...
[08:11] Hotaru
    Huh?! Hananoi-kun, your hair!
[08:14] Hananoi
    Well? Is it more to your liking now,
    Hotaru-chan?
SIGN    Things to Do During Winter Break
[08:18] Hotaru
    Wait, we weren't talking
    about my hair yesterday?!
[08:22] Hananoi
    Oh, you don't like it?
SIGN    Art Club
[08:24] Hotaru
    Did you really cut it just to suit my tastes?
[08:27] Hananoi
    I figured I could work
    on my appearance first.
[08:31] Hananoi
    You look totally stumped right now.
[08:33] Hotaru
    Sorry, I honestly just...
[08:35] Hananoi
    It's fine, it's fine.
    The faculty room, right?
[08:39] Hananoi
    I'll go with you.
[08:39] girl
    We're playing basketball in PE, right?
[08:40] Hotaru
    Thank you. That's a huge help.
[08:44] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, Hananoi-kun.
[08:46] Hotaru
    I know you're doing all this for me,
[08:50] Hotaru
    but I don't really know what it means
    to have special feelings for someone.
[08:56] Hotaru
    I guess I'm like a robot
    or a cyborg or something.
[09:01] Hananoi
    A robot, huh?
[09:02] Hananoi
    Well, if you don't know what it's like,
     why not give it a try?
[09:06] Hotaru
    Huh?
[09:07] Hananoi
    Go out with me
     and experience it for yourself.
[09:09] Hananoi
    Yeah. Like until Christmas or something.
[09:14] Hotaru
    I'd just end up hurting you that way.
[09:18] Hotaru
    People who are made like me
[09:22] Hotaru
    have no business falling in love.
[09:26] Hananoi
    There's no such thing as someone
    who shouldn't fall in love.
[09:34] Hotaru
    He's an enigma,
    but not the unsettling kind...
[09:38] Hotaru
    I guess.
[09:45] Hibiki
    Sorry! I promised I'd eat lunch
    with my boyfriend today.
[09:49] Tsukiha
    And I've got a club meeting.
[09:51] Tsukiha
    Sorry.
[09:52] Hibiki
    Really sorry!
[09:54] Hotaru
    Guess I'm on my own today.
[09:57] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[09:59] Hananoi
    Want to eat lunch together?
[10:04] Hotaru
    I-I came along without really thinking...
[10:04] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[10:07] Hotaru
    But I've already turned him down once.
[10:07] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[10:09] Hotaru
    Maybe I shouldn't be doing this.
[10:11] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, Hotaru-chan! Want one?
[10:15] Hotaru
    The cafeteria's special braised pork bun?!
[10:25] Hotaru
    Thank you!
[10:26] Hananoi
    I bought that just for you, so help yourself.
[10:35] Hotaru
    Here.
[10:36] Hotaru
    Let's eat it together!
[10:39] Hotaru
    Thanks for this.
[10:42] Hotaru
    Yum!
[10:45] Hananoi
    Thanks...
[10:52] Hotaru
    Is it good?
[10:53] Hananoi
    Yup.
[10:54] Hananoi
    It's delicious because I'm eating it
     here with you.
[10:58] Hotaru
    Eating together makes it delicious?
[11:01] Hotaru
    Yeah, I think I can understand that feeling.
[11:04] Hotaru
    Wait, your earrings...
[11:06] Hananoi
    Oh.
[11:07] Hananoi
    I figured you probably didn't
    care for flashy stuff like that.
[11:13] Hotaru
    Um, actually, I meant to say this before,
[11:16] Hotaru
    but you really don't need
    to change yourself for me.
[11:20] Hotaru
    I think you should keep enjoying
    the things that you like.
[11:26] Hananoi
    Okay.
[11:28] Hananoi
    If it bothers you,
    I'll put my earrings back in.
[11:31] Hotaru
    Huh? But...
[11:33] Hananoi
    Oh, wait. I only have one...
[11:36] Hananoi
    I must have dropped the other
     one somewhere. Oh well.
[11:39] Hotaru
    What? Want me to help you look for it?
[11:41] Hananoi
    No, it's fine. No big deal.
[11:43] Hananoi
    One is enough, right?
[11:51] Hotaru
    Why does he keep doing so much for me?
[11:55] Hananoi
    You mean Hananoi-kun?
[11:57] Hananoi
    He's trying so hard because
    he wants you to like him.
[12:01] classmate A
    Hey, hey! Does anyone have
    some hairpins I can borrow?
[12:05] Hotaru
    These are all I've got. Will they do?
[12:08] classmate A
    You're a lifesaver! Thank you, Hinase-san!
[12:16] Hotaru
    I still feel like he's doing too much...
[12:21] Hotaru
    I mean, take the earrings. They're against
     the dress code, so he must
really like them.
[12:27] Hotaru
    He doesn't think of himself enough.
[12:31] Hotaru
    It worries me sometimes.
[12:36] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, want to walk home together?
[12:39] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[12:41] Hotaru
    Sorry, I have to go look
    for something on the field.
[12:44] classmate A
    I lost one of her hairpins! I'm so sorry!
[12:47] Hotaru
    It's okay! Don't worry about it.
[12:50] Hananoi
    But Hotaru-chan, it's...
[12:59] Hananoi
    It'd be pretty difficult to find it right now.
[13:03] classmate A
    I'm sorry, Hinase-san!
    I'll buy you a new one!
[13:06] Hotaru
    It's really okay! It's not your fault.
[13:10] Hotaru
    Sorry to drag you out here. I guess
    we might as well walk home together.
[13:20] Hotaru
    I really should go look for it...
[13:25] Hotaru
    I guess I'll go first thing in the morning.
SIGN    Hananoi-kun
[13:32] Hotaru
    Yes, hello?
[13:34] Hananoi
    Ah, Hotaru-chan?
    Sorry, I just have a quick question.
[13:39] Hananoi
    Does the hairpin you lost have a ribbon?
[13:42] Hotaru
    No, it has a star on it.
[13:45] Hananoi
    Really? Then this isn't it...
[13:49] Hananoi
    All right. Thanks.
[13:51] Hananoi
    I'll see you at school tomorrow.
[13:53] Hotaru
    Wait!
[13:55] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, where are you right now?
[13:59] Hotaru
    You aren't actually at school, are you?
[14:05] Hananoi
    Nah.
[14:12] Kagari
    Hotaru? Where are you going at this hour?
[14:15] Hotaru
    School!
[14:18] Hotaru
    There's no way...
[14:20] Hotaru
    He can't be there.
[14:22] Hotaru
    No normal person would go searching
    for a single hairpin in the snow like this.
[14:29] Hotaru
    But...
[14:31] Hotaru
    But maybe Hananoi-kun would. He might.
[14:47] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[14:49] Hananoi
    Shoot. You came.
[14:54] Hananoi
    I'm sorry. I really wanted to surprise you,
     but I haven't found it yet.
[15:00] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun...
[15:05] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, but I still don't get it.
[15:10] Hotaru
    Why? Why go this far?
[15:16] Hananoi
    Because I...
[15:19] Hananoi
    wanted to make you smile.
[15:26] Hotaru
    That's it?
[15:28] Hotaru
    Everything he's done has just been
    to make me smile?
[15:40] Hananoi
    I'll be fine, so why
    don't you head back home?
[15:44] Hananoi
    I'm just going to check over here.
[15:46] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun.
[15:50] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[15:56] Hotaru
    Please, stop this. That's enough.
[15:59] Hananoi
    Wow, I even get a nice hug from you.
[16:06] Hotaru
    You big dummy!
[16:10] Hotaru
    Look.
[16:11] Hotaru
    If you make yourself sick finding it,
[16:14] Hotaru
    I won't be happy at all!
[16:17] Hananoi
    Oh... I see. I guess you have a point.
[16:22] Hananoi
    I'm being weird, huh?
[16:25] Hananoi
    People tell me I go too far.
[16:28] Hotaru
    That's not the point!
[16:29] Hotaru
    If you don't stop now,
    Hananoi-kun, you could die!
[16:33] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan...
[16:35] Hananoi
    This isn't going to kill me.
[16:37] Hananoi
    Besides,
[16:39] Hananoi
    if I got to see you smile,
    then at least I'd die happy.
[16:46] Hotaru
    If it means only one person gets to be happy,
    then I don't ever want to fall in love!
[16:57] Hotaru
    Teacher! I need to borrow
    a blanket and a towel!
[17:16] Tsukiha
    By the way, I haven't seen
    Hananoi-san around recently.
[17:19] Hotaru
    That's because...
[17:22] Hibiki
    You got in a fight, Hotaru?!
[17:23] Hibiki
    I didn't even know you could get mad!
[17:25] Hotaru
    I honestly don't know if
    I could face him right now.
[17:30] Hotaru
    I've never yelled at someone
    like that before.
[17:33] Tsukiha
    Oh. Look who's here.
[17:52] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[17:54] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun.
[17:56] Hananoi
    I'm sorry I've been bugging you so much.
     I won't bother you after today.
[18:00] Hananoi
    But before that, I wanted to give you this.
[18:04] Hananoi
    Oh, don't worry. I went back
    after the snow melted.
[18:08] Hotaru
    Thank you. It was a present from my family.
[18:14] Hotaru
    Did you know it was important to me?
[18:16] Hananoi
    No, but I did notice you seem to have special
    things that you like to use all the time.
[18:24] Hananoi
    So I thought you'd be sad if you lost it.
[18:29] Hotaru
    I see...
[18:31] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun treasures what's important
    to me. Even more than I do.
[18:38] Hotaru
    If that's what it means to love, then...
[18:44] Hotaru
    it's truly a wonderful thing.
[18:48] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, I have something
    I want to give you too.
[18:53] Hotaru
    Here.
[18:56] Hotaru
    I found it on the ground
    by the vending machine.
[19:01] Hotaru
    Put it on.
[19:08] Hotaru
    Yeah, the other one seemed lonely by itself.
[19:10] Hotaru
    They look better together.
[19:13] Hotaru
    Take good care of what's
     important to you, okay?
[19:18] Hananoi
    I'm really sorry.
[19:19] Hotaru
    Wow, he looks so sad.
[19:21] Hotaru
    But it's kind of cute.
[19:25] Hotaru
    Whenever I'm with Hananoi-kun,
    I keep feeling all kinds of new things.
[19:32] Hotaru
    If I spent more time with him,
    maybe I'd start to understand
[19:37] Hotaru
    what it's like to be overwhelmed with emotion.
[19:40] Hotaru
    What it's like to fall in love.
[19:44] Hananoi
    There's no such thing as someone
    who shouldn't fall in love.
[19:52] Hananoi
    See you.
[19:53] Hotaru
    W-Wait!
[19:56] Hotaru
    U-Um, I don't think I've told you this yet,
[20:01] Hotaru
    but I've never once thought that
    I didn't like you, Hananoi-kun.
[20:06] Hotaru
    I don't think it means
    that I like you in that way,
[20:09] Hotaru
    but it's been fun, and you've
    made me happy sometimes.
[20:13] Hotaru
    So, um...
[20:16] Hotaru
    Do you think someone like
    me might be able to learn?
[20:22] Hotaru
    Do you think even I might
    fall in love someday?
[20:26] Hotaru
    When that girl said...
[20:28] Ex
    You'll never be in a proper
    relationship anyway!
[20:32] Hotaru
    I felt like she was talking to me.
    It was saddening.
[20:36] Hotaru
    Why don't I ever feel that
    kind of strong emotion?
[20:41] Hotaru
    Why can't I understand what that's like
    when everybody else can?
[20:47] Hananoi
    I know you will.
[20:53] Hananoi
    I'm sure that the day will come
[20:55] Hananoi
    when you know how it feels
    to love someone special.
[21:04] Hotaru
    Were you...
[21:06] Hotaru
    Were you serious about giving it a try?
[21:10] Hananoi
    Huh?
[21:12] Hananoi
    Are you... saying you'll go out with me?
[21:19] Hotaru
    I still don't know if I can make it work,
[21:24] Hotaru
    but I want to know what it feels
    like to fall in love with someone!
[21:34] Hotaru
    Um, Hananoi-kun...
[21:36] Hotaru
    Everyone's looking—
[21:37] Hananoi
    I'm so happy.
[21:40] Hananoi
    I'm so happy...
[21:45] Hotaru
    And that's how I ended up
    with my very first boyfriend,
[21:51] Hotaru
    even though I still didn't really
    understand what was happening.
[21:55] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun's idea of love and my idea
    of love might not be the same thing,
[22:02] Hotaru
    but at the very least,
    I've taken my first step into a new world.

    I always thought I'd never be able
    to fall in love,
[00:07] Hotaru
    but now, for the first time in
    my life, I have a boyfriend.
SIGN    Episode 2
SIGN    My First Boyfriend
[01:51] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun! Good morning.
[01:54] Hananoi
    Good morning, Hotaru-chan.
[01:57] Hotaru
    Starting today, I'm his girlfriend.
[02:02] Hotaru
    This is Hananoi-kun from the class next door.
[02:05] Hotaru
    He asked me out the day after we met.
    You could say he's something of an odd duck.
[02:11] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Do you think even I might
    fall in love someday?
[02:15] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I know you will.
[02:17] Hotaru
    With just those few words,
    Hananoi-kun gave me so much courage.
[02:24] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun?
[02:26] Hananoi
    An angel.
[02:31] Hotaru
    An angel?
[02:32] Hananoi
    Oh, sorry.
[02:33] Hananoi
    Did I say that out loud?
[02:35] Hotaru
    He is just a little strange.
[02:38] Hotaru
    It sure got a lot colder today.
[02:45] Hananoi
    Huh? Hotaru-chan, don't you have gloves?
[02:49] Hotaru
    I was running late and forgot them.
[02:51] Hananoi
    Are you okay?
[02:53] Hananoi
    You can use mine if you want.
[02:56] Hotaru
    Thanks! But I run warm anyway,
    so I'll be fine.
[03:01] Hananoi
    Okay...
[03:02] Hotaru
    What? Did I say something wrong?
[03:05] Hotaru
    Come to think of it...
[03:07] (Flashback) Hibiki
    You gotta be careful when you're dating.
[03:10] (Flashback) Hibiki
    Don't wanna embarrass your
    boyfriend or anything.
[03:14] Boy student
    Here. Take this.
[03:16] Boy student
    I'll let you use it.
[03:18] Girl student
    Thanks! It's so warm!
[03:21] Hotaru
    I see.
[03:22] Hotaru
    Maybe now that we're dating,
    I can't keep behaving the same way.
[03:28] Hotaru
    And so...
[03:30] Hotaru
    I would like to discuss our
    policies going forward.
[03:35] Hananoi
    Policies?
[03:36] Hananoi
    Huh?
[03:37] Hotaru
    What do you do when you're going out?
[03:40] Hotaru
    Don't you have goals and things
    you want to do with a girlfriend?
[03:45] Hananoi
    Uh... I guess so.
[03:48] Hananoi
    I guess eventually getting buried next
    to each other would make me happy.
[03:55] Hotaru
    It's over before it even started.
[03:57] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun, that's not what I mean!
[04:00] Hotaru
    More like, you know, normal kissing
    and hugging, whispering sweet nothings,
[04:03] Hotaru
    and fooling around and stuff!
[04:04] Hananoi
    You want to fool around with me, Hotaru-chan?
[04:08] Hotaru
    Fool... Fool around?
[04:11] Hotaru
    F-Foo... Foola round? Foo la round?
[04:11] Hananoi
    Listen, we don't have to rush things.
[04:13] Hananoi
    You can just be your usual self.
[04:16] Hananoi
    I'm the one who's trying
    to get you to you love me.
[04:21] Student
    I'm so tired...
[04:25] Hotaru
    Is it really okay for me to just do nothing?
[04:28] Tsukiha
    I never dreamed you two would
    actually start dating.
[04:33] Hibiki
    I, for one, still don't accept it!
[04:36] Tsukiha
    And you are?
[04:37] Hibiki
    Even if it's just a trial run,
    taking my dear Hotaru like this...
[04:41] Hotaru
    I think I'm just letting Hananoi-kun
    spoil me with his love.
[04:46] Hotaru
    I feel like I should be doing my part too.
[04:50] Hotaru
    So I can learn... what
    it feels like to like someone.
[04:58] Hotaru
    So, anyway, what is a girlfriend
     supposed to do?
[05:01] Hibiki
    Oh boy...
[05:01] Tsukiha
    You're so naive.
SIGN    The Next Day
[05:05] Hotaru
    Okay, Hananoi-kun.
[05:07] Hotaru
    See you on the way home.
[05:08] Hananoi
    Um, Hotaru-chan,
    I'd like to give you these first.
[05:15] Hotaru
    What are all these notebooks?
[05:17] Hananoi
    Finals are coming up, so I took notes on
     likely questions for each subject yesterday.
[05:22] Hotaru
    For each subject? You mean every single one?
    And all in one day?!
[05:25] Hananoi
    I worked hard.
[05:28] Hotaru
    Wow... Thank you.
[05:34] Hotaru
    Um, did you stay up all ni—
[05:36] Hananoi
    Oh, that's the bell.
[05:39] Hananoi
    Homeroom's about to start. See you.
[05:42] Hotaru
    U-Um, wait. Hananoi-kun!
[05:47] Hotaru
    I've gotta do something girlfriendy.
    Something girlfriendy...
SIGN    "Bye-bye,
    darling"?
SIGN    A kiss?
SIGN    A hug?
[05:50] Hotaru
    Something girlfriendy!
[06:04] Hananoi
    Bye for now. See you after school.
[06:13] Tsukiha
    These notes are incredible.
    They're super easy to understand.
[06:17] Hotaru
    I'm really grateful, but it's starting
    to feel like he's spoiling me too much.
[06:22] Tsukiha
    When you like someone,
    don't you want to do everything for them?
[06:25] Hibiki
    Yeah, but isn't this kinda overdoing it?
[06:29] Hotaru
    You want to do everything, huh?
[06:31] Hotaru
    It's been like this
    since the hairpin incident.
[06:34] Hotaru
    But he keeps telling me
    I don't need to do anything...
[06:39] Girl student
    Then I'll give you this.
[06:41] Boy student
    Here, to pay you back.
[06:43] Girl student
    Oh, yay!
[06:44] Boy student
    What are your favorites?
[06:45] Hotaru
    I'm just taking.
[06:48] Hotaru
    It's only a trial, but shouldn't
     both people be having fun
[06:53] Hotaru
    when you're going out together?
[07:02] Hibiki
    You'll be fine! You've got what it takes.
[07:05] Tsukiha
    Yeah, I don't think we need to worry.
[07:07] Hotaru
    Sorry I'm such an amateur at love.
[07:10] Hotaru
    But I still can't figure out
    what I'm supposed to do.
[07:14] Tsukiha
    If you want to do more than just receive,
[07:16] Tsukiha
    why not try doing some of the same things for Hananoi-san that he's done for you?
[07:24] Hotaru
    Of course...
[07:27] Hotaru
    See you later!
[07:29] Hotaru
    I left half an hour early,
    which should be plenty of time.
[07:33] Hotaru
    When I thought about it,
[07:34] Hotaru
    I realized that Hananoi-kun
    is always waiting for me.
[07:38] Hotaru
    I wonder if he'll be surprised
    to find me waiting for him.
[07:42] Hotaru
    I can't make nice study guides for him,
[07:45] Hotaru
    but this is something I can do!
[07:47] Hananoi
    Oh? Hotaru-chan?
[07:49] Hananoi
    Good morning. You sure are early today.
[07:52] Hotaru
    This is harder than I thought!
SIGN    The Second Morning
[07:58] Hotaru
    Forty-five minutes early...
[08:00] Hotaru
    I'll definitely get there first today.
[08:03] Hananoi
    Good morning, Hotaru-chan.
SIGN    The Third Morning
[08:08] Hotaru
    M-Maybe if I'm an hour early.
[08:11] Hotaru
    This time for sure!
[08:13] Hananoi
    Good morning, Hotaru-chan.
[08:15] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun, how long
     have you been waiting?
[08:20] Hananoi
    I just got here.
[08:24] Hotaru
    You big liar.
[08:27] Hotaru
    If you keep coming out
     to wait in the cold, you'll get sick!
[08:31] Hananoi
    But I want to spend every
    second I can with you.
[08:36] Hotaru
    E-Every second?
[08:40] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, but I still don't understand
    what that feels like yet.
[08:47] Hotaru
    Is this okay?
[08:49] Hotaru
    Am I really going to be able
    to fall in love like this?
SIGN    The Fourth Morning
[08:56] Hotaru
    Two hours early!
[08:59] Hotaru
    At this point, I'm just being stubborn, but...
[09:02] Hotaru
    Let's see!
[09:05] Hotaru
    All right! I win!
[09:09] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun always sits here reading
    a book while he waits for me.
[09:18] Hotaru
    It's so quiet.
[09:22] Hotaru
    I wonder how he'll react
    when he finds me waiting for him.
[09:25] Hotaru
    He was so insistent on getting here
    first, I wonder if he'll be angry.
[09:29] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan!
[09:30] Hotaru
    I wonder what he's like when he's mad...
[09:34] Hotaru
    Or will he be surprised? Will he be happy?
[09:38] Hotaru
    Will he get here soon?
[09:42] Hotaru
    Oh, did I just...
[09:46] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[09:47] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun! Good morning!
[09:49] Hotaru
    He's here a lot sooner than I expected!
[09:52] Hananoi
    What are you doing here so early?
[09:55] Hotaru
    Um, I wanted to do something g-girlfriendy,
[10:00] Hotaru
    so I thought it might be nice
    to wait for you for a change.
[10:04] Hotaru
    I didn't realize you got here
     this early every day.
[10:08] Hotaru
    A-Are you mad at me?
[10:10] Hananoi
    No, of course not.
[10:12] Hananoi
    I'm just surprised. Nobody's
    ever waited for me before.
[10:18] Hotaru
    Um, listen.
[10:20] Hotaru
    While I was waiting, I got all
    excited imagining how you'd react.
[10:26] Hotaru
    Waiting for someone is lots of fun!
[10:33] Hananoi
    You were thinking about me
     while you waited?
[10:38] Hananoi
    I see...
[10:40] Hotaru
    He looks overjoyed.
[10:44] Hotaru
    I did something that made
    someone really happy...
[10:48] Hotaru
    I've never done that before.
    It kind of makes me happy too.
[10:54] Hotaru
    I'm so thrilled.
[10:56] Hotaru
    I think I understand how it feels
    to be a girlfriend a little bit now.
[11:02] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, are you okay?
[11:04] Hananoi
    I'm so sorry. I made you
    wait out here in the col—
[11:10] Hotaru
    See? It makes you worry, right?
[11:12] Hotaru
    Waiting for two hours is just too long.
[11:16] Hotaru
    Wanna hit the corner store to warm up?
[11:18] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[11:19] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, I want to see
    you happy a lot more.
[11:30] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[11:32] Hananoi
    What are you writing?
[11:34] Hotaru
    I had a great idea.
SIGN    Things We Want to Do
[11:37] Hananoi
    "Things we want to do"?
[11:39] Hotaru
    I just bought it.
[11:42] Hotaru
    What would you say to writing down things
    we want to do together in this notebook?
[11:48] Hotaru
    Then we can make good on them in turns.
[11:53] Hotaru
    Slowly, like beginners.
    We'll start with the easy things.
SIGN    I want to get croquettes at the butcher shop by the station after school with you
SIGN    Let's find more foods we both like
[12:06] Hotaru
    What do you think?
[12:08] Hananoi
    This'll be a piece of cake.
[12:11] Hotaru
    You should write one right now too.
[12:25] Hotaru
    Is that all you want?
[12:28] Hotaru
    You sure don't ask for much.
[12:31] Hotaru
    Piece of cake!
SIGN    I want
SIGN    to hold hands
SIGN    while walking
[12:51] Hotaru
    That day, when I took Hananoi-kun's
    hand for the first time,
[12:55] Hotaru
    it was a little cold and bigger than mine.
[12:59] Hotaru
    I was holding a boy's hand.
[13:12] Hananoi
    I want...
SIGN    Things We Want to Do
[13:14] Hananoi
    a lot more than you realize.
SIGN    I want to make you mine alone
[13:20] Hotaru
    It's already been three weeks
    since Hananoi-kun and I started temporarily
SIGN    I want to get croquettes at the butcher shop by the station
     after school with you
[13:24] Hotaru
    quote, unquote "dating."
[13:27] Hotaru & Hananoi
    Let's eat!
[13:30] Hotaru
    Day by day,
[13:33] Hotaru
    just a little at a time,
[13:35] Hotaru
    spending time with him is starting
    to feel more and more natural.
[13:39] Hotaru
    I braced myself at first,
[13:41] Hotaru
    thinking we might do the things
    lovers do since we're going out.
SIGN    I want to spend Christmas Eve with you
[13:45] Hotaru
    But Hananoi-kun's requests
    are always very gentle.
[13:49] Hotaru
    I thought things might just continue
    to pass this quiet, peaceful way
[13:55] Hotaru
    until we reached our Christmas
    expiration date. And yet...
[14:00] Hibiki
    Here, Hotaru. Your present.
[14:02] Hotaru
    Wow!
[14:03] Hibiki
    Since I can't see you on Christmas Eve.
[14:05] Hotaru
    Thank you!
[14:06] Hibiki
    By the way, isn't your time
    with Hananoi-kun up on Christmas?
[14:10] Hotaru
    Yeah.
SIGN    See you
SIGN    Have a great year!
[14:12] Hotaru
    Only three more days...
    It sure went by fast.
[14:15] Hibiki
    So, how's it actually been thus far?
[14:18] Hotaru
    He's a really sweet, nice guy.
[14:20] Hotaru
    It's relaxing being with him,
    even when time passes slowly.
[14:24] Hotaru
    I'm honestly a little sad
    it'll all be over in three days.
[14:27] Hibiki
    Th-Then...
[14:28] Hotaru
    But I'm still not sure if the way
    I like him is something like love.
[14:32] Hotaru
    The other day, I ended up saying to him,
[14:34] Hotaru
    "If I stay like this and can't fall in love,
    I still want to be friends with you."
[14:40] (Flashback) Hananoi
    No way.
[14:42] Hotaru
    That's what he said in turn.
[14:44] Hananoi
    So you still aren't committed.
[14:47] Hotaru
    It's just really difficult for me.
[14:49] Keigo
    The answer is simple!
[14:51] Keigo
    You should try kissing him.
[14:53] Hotaru
    Huh?! Kei-chan?!
SIGN    This is Kyo-chan's boyfriend, Keigo-kun
[14:56] Keigo
    If someone you don't like gets close,
    you pull back. Like you did just now.
[15:00] Keigo
    Even I do it. Before Hibiki and I
    started dating, when she stole a kiss...
[15:08] Hibiki
    Sorry, but could you forget
    you ever heard that?
[15:12] Keigo
    Anyway, Hananoi is a good dude, huh?
    Not at all how I imagined him.
[15:17] Hotaru
    Huh?
[15:19] Keigo
    He's real prickly in class.
    Just be careful, Hinase-san.
[15:23] Keigo
    You seem pretty straitlaced, y'know?
[15:25] Keigo
    The guys in my class totally think he's
    just taking advantage of—
[15:29] Hotaru
    Kei-chan-san!
[15:30] Hibiki
    I'm sorry! He's being so rude.
[15:34] Hotaru
    I-It's okay.
[15:36] Hibiki
    But to be honest, I find Hananoi-kun
    kinda hard to read too.
[15:41] Hibiki
    Still, he's got good taste if he chose you.
[15:45] Hibiki
    Anyway, no matter how things
    turn out, I'm on your side.
[15:48] Hotaru
    Yeah, I appreciate it.
[16:03] Hotaru
    Oh? Hananoi-kun?
[16:07] Hotaru
    I told you to head home without me today.
[16:10] Hananoi
    I know.
[16:10] Hananoi
    But it's the last day of class and I wanted
     to spend a little more time with you.
[16:15] Hotaru
    Okay. If you'd told me sooner...
[16:19] Hotaru
    You said you would start waiting
    for me somewhere warm, right?
[16:22] Hananoi
    Sorry.
[16:23] Hotaru
    Want to hit the corner store again?
[16:25] Girl student A
    Hey, see those two?
[16:27] Girl student B
    Yeah. Hananoi-kun's girlfriend
    looks so boring. What a shocker.
[16:31] Girl student A
    If I was her, I wouldn't have
    had the guts to say yes to him.
[16:38] Hananoi
    None of them get it.
[16:41] Hananoi
    They don't know how much I admire you.
[16:46] Hotaru
    Admire?
[16:48] Hananoi
    Say, we can't hang out
    at the corner store for that long.
[16:52] Hananoi
    Wanna go to my place?
[16:53] Hotaru
    You mean your house?
[16:55] Hananoi
    Yeah. I want to talk to you
    about Christmas and stuff.
[16:58] Hotaru
    Okay.
[17:00] Hotaru
    Don't mind me...
[17:07] Hotaru
    Wow!
[17:09] Hotaru
    It looks just like I pictured
    your place would be!
[17:12] Hotaru
    Are your parents at work right now?
[17:15] Hananoi
    Yeah. They go overseas a lot,
    so they aren't usually home.
[17:22] Hotaru
    What do they do?
[17:24] Hananoi
    They're both doctors.
[17:25] Hotaru
    Whoa.
[17:27] Hotaru
    Wait, does that mean you're
    always home alone?
[17:31] Hananoi
    My grandmother comes
    to check on me on the weekends.
[17:35] Hotaru
    I see.
[17:36] Hananoi
    Ah, sorry. There's no food
    in the house right now.
[17:40] Hananoi
    Want to order sushi?
[17:42] Hotaru
    I can't do that!
[17:44] Hotaru
    Is it normal to order sushi all the time?
[17:47] Hananoi
    I guess I'm just getting
     carried away since you're here.
[17:52] Hotaru
    Um, are you okay, Hananoi-kun?
[17:55] Hotaru
    Your face is all red even
    though we're inside now.
[17:58] Hananoi
    I'm totally fine. I'll make some tea,
    so why don't you wait in my room?
[18:07] Hotaru
    Wow! So this what Hananoi-kun's
    room is like.
[18:11] Hotaru
    He has a ton of books.
[18:14] Hotaru
    Kinda reminds me of my grandpa's house.
[18:17] Hotaru
    These all look really difficult.
[18:21] Hotaru
    This is the only shelf with a curtain.
[18:33] Hananoi
    Don't open that.
[18:35] Hotaru
    I-I'm sorry! I wasn't actually going to peek.
[18:39] Hananoi
    It's my Hotaru-chan shrine.
[18:42] Hananoi
    If you want to peek, you'd best be prepared.
[18:45] Hotaru
    He's got a shrine for me? N-Now I'm dying
    to know what's behind that curtain.
[18:50] Hotaru
    But I'm too scared to look!
[18:54] Hotaru
    I-I think I'm good.
[18:56] Hananoi
    Okay.
[19:00] Hotaru
    You know, you're kind of a mystery,
     Hananoi-kun.
[19:03] Hananoi
    You just noticed?
[19:05] Hananoi
    You're pretty unusual yourself, Hotaru-chan.
[19:08] Hotaru
    Am I? My family always tells
    me that I'm way too normal.
[19:12] Hananoi
    Well, most normal folks stay away
    from people they find strange.
[19:16] Hananoi
    Plus, when someone's alone
    with a guy in his room,
[19:20] Hananoi
    they'd keep their guard up
    since he might try something.
[19:22] Hotaru
    Y-You mean something lovey-dovey?
[19:25] Hananoi
    Yeah, yeah. Something lovey-dovey.
[19:29] Hotaru
    I can't imagine anyone wanting
    to do anything like that to me.
[19:33] Hotaru
    When I hear my friends talking about it,
    it just sounds so alien to me.
[19:35] Keigo
    Our first kiss was in the gym.
[19:38] Hibiki
    Can it!
[19:39] Hananoi
    You'd say that with me right here?
[19:41] Hotaru
    Ah, sorry.
[19:44] Hananoi
    I guess to you,
    I'm still not a boyfriend yet.
[19:49] Hotaru
    U-Um, that's not what I meant.
[19:52] Hananoi
    It's fine. We're doing this trial
    to figure that out, after all.
[19:57] Hananoi
    But you know, I said this before, but I
    have no intention of becoming your friend.
[20:03] Hananoi
    To me, that would feel like being
    one random member of a big crowd.
[20:07] Hananoi
    I want to be someone special to you.
[20:10] Hotaru
    A-And if you can't be?
[20:13] Hananoi
    If I can't, then you'll never see me again.
[20:25] Hotaru
    Say, I have an idea.
[20:28] Hotaru
    Would you mind trying to kiss me once?
[20:34] Hotaru
    Are you okay?
[20:35] Hotaru
    Er, of course I don't mean actually kissing.
    Just holding our faces close together.
[20:41] Hotaru
    My friend's boyfriend told me
     if you do that, you'll know
[20:45] Hotaru
    whether you really like someone or not.
[20:48] Hotaru
    Holding hands and hugging are
    things you do even with friends,
[20:52] Hotaru
    but with a kiss, I think I'd
    know if it didn't feel right. So...
[20:57] Hananoi
    Okay.
[20:58] Hananoi
    Let's try kissing.
[21:00] Hotaru
    Thank you! I'm sorry to ask
     something so weird.
[21:04] Hotaru
    And if you don't like it,
    we can stop right away.
[21:07] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[21:09] Hananoi
    Close your eyes.
[21:14] Hotaru
    Okay.
[21:16] Hotaru
    Wait, the mood feels totally different now.
[21:20] Hotaru
    Not being able to see is making me nervous.
[21:32] Hananoi
    You shouldn't let someone do this if
    you aren't even sure you like them.
[21:46] Hananoi
    It may not mean anything to you,
[21:51] Hananoi
    but it's different for me.
[21:54] Hananoi
    Even holding your hand,
    even just touching you...
[21:59] Hananoi
    makes my heart ache so badly.

    That scared me...
[01:35] Hotaru
    He must felt bad all day
     and just didn't tell me.
[01:39] Hotaru
    I knew you'd get sick always waiting
    for me in the cold like that.
[01:44] Hotaru
    Why didn't you say something?
[01:46] Hananoi
    I want to spend every second I can with you.
[01:50] Hotaru
    I-I need to call his family!
[01:56] Hotaru
    I had no idea.
[01:58] Hotaru
    Between love and friendship, I didn't realize
    liking someone meant something so different...
[02:04] Hotaru
    But this is... It's nothing like those things.
[02:08] Hotaru
    H-Hello. Um, Hananoi-kun fainted.
    Could you please come right away?
[02:14] Hotaru
    Yes. Thank you very much.
[02:23] Hotaru
    I still remember the way he felt...
[02:27] Hotaru
    Am I really going to be able to experience

    feelings like that one day?

    Huh?!
[04:13] Tomori
    You don't want dinner? What's wrong?

[05:10] (Flashback) Hotaru

[05:12] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I've always spent Christmas with my family.
[05:15] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Every year?
[05:17] (Flashback) Hotaru
    My little sister does figure skating.
[05:20] (Flashback) Hotaru
    She always does a show on Christmas Eve.
[05:23] (Flashback) Hotaru
    We all go to cheer her on.
[05:25] (Flashback) Hotaru
    She's really something! She gets dressed
    up like a sparkly little princess.
[05:30] (Flashback) Hananoi
    A princess?
[05:32] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Don't you ever hang out with friends?

[06:03] Hotaru
    He must not be answering because he's sick.
[06:06] Hotaru
    But he always responds so quickly...
[06:09] Hotaru
    Ah, maybe he's given up on me now.
[06:14] Hotaru
    I was basically toying with
    Hananoi-kun's feelings, after all.
[06:19] Kagari
    Huh? You're still here, Hotaru?
[06:22] Kagari
    Mom and everyone already
    left for the skating rink.
[06:25] Hotaru
    Are you going there now, Kagari?
[06:27] Kagari
    My club is having a Christmas
    party, so I'm gonna pass.
[06:30] Kagari
    Okay, don't forget to lock up.

    You never thought about
    how I felt, Hotaru-chan.

    It's happening all over again.
[06:47] Hotaru
    Will this all end without me
    ever expressing my feelings?
[06:50] Hotaru
    I really want to apologize to Hananoi-kun.
[06:52] Hotaru
    I haven't even given him an answer yet!

    Yeah. My friend just caught a cold,
    and I haven't heard anything since.
[07:50] Mom
    Oh my. Want to stay and watch, then?
[07:55] Hotaru

[08:31] Hotaru
    Uh, um... Sorry. I'm at the skating rink.
[08:34] Hananoi
    I found you!
[08:54] Hotaru
    Oh! Hananoi-kun!
[08:56] Hotaru
    What are you doing here?
[08:58] Hananoi
    I called... but you didn't answer.
[09:01] Hananoi
    I remembered you said you go to see
    your sister skate every Christmas.
[09:07] Hananoi
    So I searched for rinks
    with Christmas shows...
[09:12] Hananoi
    And this was the only place near
    your house hosting anything like that.
[09:17] Hotaru
    Talk about commitment!
[09:19] Hotaru
    What a surprise. I didn't think
    I'd get to see you today.
[09:23] Hananoi
    I'm sorry! I've been in bed
    and just saw your message...
[09:30] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[09:33] Hotaru
    What? What is this? I feel so drained.
[09:38] Hotaru
    I think it's because I've been so consumed
    with worry and stress the past few days.
[09:43] Hotaru
    But seeing you, I feel so relieved now.
[09:48] Hotaru
    So very relieved.
[09:50] Hotaru
    I'm so glad.
[09:53] Hotaru
    I'm so glad I got to see
    you again, Hananoi-kun.

    You did great!
[10:08] Hananoi
    Here. Is this okay?
[10:10] Hotaru
    Y-Yeah. Sorry you had to see me like that.
[10:16] Hananoi
    It's my fault, isn't it?
[10:18] Hananoi
    I'm really sorry I scared you the other day!
[10:22] Hananoi
    You even called my grandmother for me...
[10:25] Hotaru
    O-Oh, no, that wasn't it.
[10:28] Hotaru
    I'm sorry the thoughtless things
    I said I hurt you so much!
[10:34] Hotaru
    It's not the first time
    I've done something like that...
[10:38] Hotaru
    Not been able to understand
    the way someone else felt, I mean.
[10:41] Hotaru
    She was a good friend of mine,
SIGN    Roasted Green Tea
[10:44] Hotaru
    but I hurt her.
[10:47] Hotaru
    And before I had a chance
     to say I was sorry, we'd drifted apart.
[10:54] Hotaru
    I was worried the same thing
    would happen with you.
[10:59] Hananoi
    I see. It sounds like that really upset you.
[11:05] Hotaru
    I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bring that up.
[11:08] Hotaru
    That's right! I still need to give
     you a proper answer, don't I?
[11:12] Hotaru
    Uh... Um...
[11:17] Hananoi
    It's okay.
[11:19] Hananoi
    You can give me your answer
    whenever you want.
[11:30] Hananoi
    But more importantly,
[11:31] Hananoi
    if you're willing to make up with me,
    then would you care to go on our date now?
[11:38] Hananoi
    No matter what your answer is,
    I want to make this a special day for you.
[11:43] Hananoi
    I've been planning it for ages.
[11:51] Hananoi
    Ah, I almost forgot.
[11:54] Hananoi
    I don't want to make the same mistake again.
[11:57] Hananoi
    Starting today, unless I have your
    permission, I won't... touch you.
[12:06] Hotaru
    You sure can be a handful, Hananoi-kun.
[12:11] Hananoi
    I finally got you to smile.
[12:25] Hotaru
    I've learned so much this month.
[12:28] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun is kind. He tries hard...
[12:32] Hotaru
    Maybe too hard. And sometimes he
    does things I'd never expect.
[12:37] Hotaru
    He likes books.
    He's good at helping me study.
[12:42] Hotaru
    He always slows down to walk at my pace.
[12:46] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun is...
[12:50] Hotaru
    Everyone sure was surprised.
[12:53] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[12:55] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Would you mind if I chaperoned
    Hotaru-chan until this evening?
[13:00] (Flashback) Hananoi
    You have my word that
     you have no cause for concern.
[13:03] (Flashback) Hananoi
    And I promise to bring
    her home safely tonight.
[13:07] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Today's a very important day for me.
[13:10] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I would like to spend the
    rest of it with her.
[13:13] Hotaru
    They totally thought he was my boyfriend.
[13:17] Hotaru
    That isn't exactly wrong, though,
    so it's fine... I guess.

    Hmm?
[13:24] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, are you really
    feeling better now?
[13:28] Hananoi
    Yeah. Totally.

[14:39] Hananoi
    Sorry this isn't a real restaurant, though.

    That's totally okay!

    It's my dream to conquer foods

    I'm glad.

    Thank you for the food!
[14:50] Hananoi
    Thank you for the food.

    Amusement parks are so much fun at night.
[15:39] Hotaru
    Oh.
[15:44] Hananoi
    Wanna skate?
[15:45] Hotaru
    No, I'm not athletic at all,
    so that's not happening.
[15:48] Hotaru
    I wanted to be like my little sister once,
    but I crashed as soon as I got in the rink.
[15:53] Hananoi
    Oh...
[15:55] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, is it okay if I touch you
    just while we're inside the rink?
[16:03] Hotaru
    Huh? W-Wait...
[16:05] Hotaru
    What?!
[16:08] Hotaru
    No way, no way, no way,
    no way, no way, no way!

    It's okay. I've got you.

    With your help, I can walk, at least.

    You did great. You're really
    getting the hang of it.
[16:42] Hotaru
    Huh? The lights went out.
[16:45] Hananoi
    Must be mechanical trouble.
[16:48] Hananoi
    We should still have half an hour.
[16:50] Hotaru
    Huh? Is it already that late?
[16:53] Hotaru
    Where'd the time go?
[16:56] Hotaru
    Maybe we should head on home too.
[16:59] Hotaru
    Thank you so much for tonight.
    This was all new to me, so I had a great time.
[17:04] Hotaru
    I've never had a Christmas like this before.
[17:07] Hotaru
    Next time we hang out,
    I'll be the one to escort you, okay?
[17:12] Hotaru
    Oh no!
[17:13] Hotaru
    I still haven't answered him
    and I'm already talking about next time!
[17:19] Hananoi
    That's what I mean.
[17:22] Hotaru
    Huh?
[17:24] Hananoi
    Hey, do you want to do one final lap?
[17:27] Hotaru
    S-Sure.
[17:35] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun...
[17:37] Hotaru
    That's what what means?
[17:41] Hananoi
    It's why I like you.
[17:46] Hananoi
    When I do something for you,
    you try to do something back.
[17:50] Hananoi
    Even when something looks hard,
    you're willing to try it out.
[17:57] Hananoi
    Also...
[18:00] Hotaru
    Th-That's enough.
[18:02] Hananoi
    When you think you did something
    wrong, you apologize for it.
[18:06] Hananoi
    You like food, and when you find something
    delicious, you want to share it.
[18:12] Hananoi
    You don't get jealous of people
    who have things you don't.
[18:16] Hotaru
    B-But that's all... totally normal, isn't it?
[18:27] Hananoi
    It's not.
[18:30] Hananoi
    It isn't normal at all. None of that is.
[18:34] Hananoi
    But because that's just how you are,
[18:38] Hananoi
    every day,
[18:40] Hananoi
    I've started to like you more and more.
[18:46] Hananoi
    Happy birthday, Hotaru-chan.
[18:51] Hananoi
    I hope today turned out
     to be special for you.
[18:57] Hotaru
    H-How did you know it was my birthday?
[19:02] Hananoi
    I'm sorry. It was selfish of me to
    drag you out, but it had to be today.
[19:09] Hananoi
    I wanted you to know
[19:11] Hananoi
    that today is the most
    special day in the world.
[19:17] Hotaru
    Whoa!
[19:25] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun! P-P-Put me down!
[19:28] Hananoi
    Hey, Hotaru-chan, it's dangerous to move—
[19:47] Hananoi
    I guess picking you up might
    have been little cheesy.
[19:50] Hananoi
    But did I make you feel
    like a princess tonight?
[19:56] Hotaru
    Oh, I get it.
SIGN    I want to spend Christmas Eve with you
[19:58] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun knew from the start
[20:02] Hotaru
    that a birthday for me means Christmas,
[20:07] Hotaru
    and winter vacation...
[20:10] Hotaru
    is my little sister's time to shine.
[20:13] Hotaru
    It's a day that's a little more
    fun and special than normal...
[20:19] Hotaru
    for everyone.
[20:23] Hananoi
    That's not what I mean.
[20:26] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Today is the most special day in the world.
[20:30] (Flashback) Hananoi
    It's your day.
[20:34] Hotaru
    I didn't realize...
[20:36] Hotaru
    Whenever I'm with Hananoi-kun,
    everything feels new.
[20:44] Hotaru
    I guess even a princess can get
[20:47] Hotaru
    a little embarrassed sometimes.
[20:52] Hotaru
    Thank you.
[20:59] Hotaru
    Feeling this special makes me so happy.
[21:04] Hotaru
    I hope it's Hananoi-kun.
[21:08] Hotaru
    If I ever fall in love,
[21:11] Hotaru
    I want it to be with Hananoi-kun.
[22:52] Hananoi
    Thank you for today.
[22:55] Hotaru
    U-Um, Hananoi-kun.
[22:57] Hananoi
    Huh?
[22:58] Hotaru
    Um, I just was thinking about it and...
[23:02] Hotaru
    I-Is it okay if we stay like
    this for a little longer?
[23:11] Hotaru
    I know our trial is supposed to end today,
[23:15] Hotaru
    but I feel like I'm on the verge
     of understanding something.
[23:23] Hananoi
    Sure.
[23:24] Hananoi
    If you think you need more time,
    I'll wait as long as you want.
[23:30] Hananoi
    Like an unlimited overtime game, I guess?

SIGN    Happy New Year
[00:03] Hibiki
    Oh, really? So you're keeping
    the status quo with Hananoi-kun?
[00:07] Hotaru
    A-As embarrassing as it is, yeah.
[00:10] Hibiki
    If I'd known, I wouldn't have asked
    you to come in a big group.
[00:14] Hotaru
    But Hananoi-kun said he'd come too.
[00:17] Hotaru
    And I'd like it if you guys can
    all become friends with him too!
[00:22] Hibiki
    I'm sorry, Hananoi-kun!
[00:24] Tsukiha
    Hotaru! Hibiki!
[00:26] Tsukiha
    Happy New Year!
[00:29] Hotaru
    Happy New Year!
[00:30] Hananoi
    Now we just gotta wait for the boys.
[00:32] Hotaru
    Oh, I bet Hananoi-kun is already here.
[00:35] Hotaru
    He always shows up way early for stuff,
[00:38] Hotaru
    so I've been asking him
    to wait somewhere warm.
[00:42] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[00:44] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan!
[00:46] Hananoi
    Happy New Year.
[00:48] Hananoi
    Haven't seen you since Christmas.
[00:52] Hotaru
    Huh? Wh-What is this?
[00:56] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun is more radiant than usual today.
[00:56] Hananoi
    Thanks for the New Year's card.
    Let's make it a great year, okay?
[01:03] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[01:04] Hotaru
    Oh! Let me introduce my friends.
[01:06] Hotaru
    This is Kyo-chan and Shibamu.
    We're all in the same class.
[01:09] Hibiki
    H-Hello!
[01:10] Hibiki
    I'm Asami Hibiki.
[01:12] Tsukiha
    I'm Shibamura Tsukiha.
[01:14] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan and I were classmates
    in middle school, too.
[01:17] Hibiki
    I feel kinda bad for making
    you come with all of us.
[01:20] Hibiki
    I bet you two wanted to be alone.
[01:24] Hibiki & Tsukiha
    Maybe it's me, but he
    doesn't look like he's laughing!
[01:26] Keigo
    Mornin'!
[01:29] Keigo
    My bad. Sorry I'm late.
[01:30] Keigo
    Oh, Hananoi!
[01:34] Keigo
    Good to see you, man.
[01:37] Hananoi
    Who are you?
[01:38] Keigo
    Uh?
[01:40] Keigo
    Dude, we're in the same class!

[03:26] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[03:28] Hananoi
    If it's okay with you...
[03:31] Hotaru
    I-I'm good!
[03:34] Hotaru
    I'll hang on to Shibamu.
[03:36] Tsukiha
    Oh, fine by me.
[03:38] Tsukiha
    Why not take my arm?
[03:39] Hotaru
    Ooh, you feel so stable!
[03:45] Hotaru
    I hope that all of my friends
    are happy every day
[03:51] Hotaru
    and that I can learn what love is.
[03:55] Hotaru
    My wish only took a second.
[03:58] Hotaru
    Don't you want to ask for something?
[04:00] Hananoi
    God has never really done anything for me.
[04:04] Hotaru
    Oh... really?

    Huh? Actually, I...
[04:26] Hibiki
    Okay. You guys are in charge of mains and sides.
[04:29] Hibiki
    We'll take care of drinks and dessert.
[04:32] Hibiki

    Hey. What do you wanna eat, Hananoi?
[04:44] Keigo
    Jeez, man, I can tell you're
    head over heels for Hinase-san.
[04:48] Keigo
    You don't act anything like that at school.
    Color me surprised.
[04:52] Keigo
    Why not share some of that
    sunshine with your classmates?
[04:58] Hananoi
    I have no intention of becoming friends.
[05:00] Keigo
    Huh?
[05:02] Keigo
    Wh-What?
[05:04] Hananoi
    It was you, right?
[05:06] Hananoi
    Who filled Hotaru's head with ideas
    of trying out kissing and stuff.
[05:11] Hananoi
    Honestly, this whole thing today
    is kind of a pain in the ass.
[05:16] Hananoi
    I don't have "sunshine" to share
    with anyone but Hotaru-chan.
[05:21] Hananoi
    So if you get it, stay out of my way, okay?
[05:24] Hananoi
    I wonder if the boys are getting along.
[05:27] Hotaru
    They're classmates. I'm sure they're fine.

[05:33] Hotaru
    Huh?
[05:34] Hibiki
    You didn't even notice?!
[05:36] Tsukiha
    He hasn't talked to anyone but you, Hotaru.
[05:39] Hotaru
    I had no idea...
[05:41] Hibiki
    Well, you haven't seen each other recently.
[05:44] Hibiki
    Of course he wants to be alone
    with the girl he likes.
[05:47] Hotaru
    But, I mean, it's only been a week.
[05:50] Hibiki
    You really don't get it!
[05:52] Hibiki
    When you're in love, even a day
    apart feels like eternity!
[05:55] Hibiki
    Love makes every day together sparkle!
[05:57] Hotaru
    D-Do you agree, Shibamu?
[06:00] Tsukiha
    Yeah, I guess so.
[06:02] Tsukiha
    When you've waited to see someone,
    it's great to finally reunite.
[06:06] Tsukiha
    I know what that feels like.
[06:15] Hibiki
    What's wrong, Hotaru?
[06:18] Hotaru
    I almost feel like we're having girl talk.
[06:21] Hibiki
    This is 100 percent girl talk!
[06:22] Tsukiha
    You're totally out of your element,
    aren't you, Hotaru?
[06:26] Keigo
    Hey!
[06:29] Hotaru
    Wait, where's Hananoi-kun?
[06:31] Keigo
    Huh?
[06:32] Keigo
    Um... On the way, yeah, we got split up.
[06:37] Keigo
    But he knows where we're meeting,
    so I'm sure it's fine.
[06:41] Hotaru
    I'm gonna go look around.
[06:44] Hotaru
    You can eat without me!
[06:51] Hotaru
    Oh!

[06:57] Hananoi

    Sorry. I was about to head back.
[07:17] Hananoi

[07:41] Hotaru
    Yeah, you're right.
[07:43] Hotaru
    I'm sorry I couldn't spend
    New Year's with you.
[07:47] Hotaru
    My little sister was in a tizzy
    on New Year's Eve.
[07:50] (Flashback) Tomori
    You like your stupid boyfriend
    more than me!
[07:55] Hananoi
    With your family and all your friends,
    it's gonna be tough to get you all to myself.
[08:02] Hibiki
    But Hananoi-kun doesn't really
    seem to be feeling it today.
[08:06] Hotaru
    Um, are you having fun?
[08:09] Hananoi
    As long as you're with me,
    Hotaru-chan, I'm happy anywhere.
[08:13] Hotaru
    U-Um, Kyo-chan and Shibamu
    are both really nice.
[08:19] Hananoi
    I'm sure they are.
[08:20] Hananoi
    If you like them, Hotaru-chan,
    I'm sure they're great people.
[08:25] Hotaru
    Ah, this mood...
[08:29] Hotaru
    I wonder if I misunderstood
    how Hananoi-kun feels again.
[08:34] Hotaru
    I really wish he could make
    friends with Kyo-chan and the others,
[08:38] Hotaru
    but I guess I shouldn't try to force it.
[08:40] Hotaru
    Oh!
[08:41] Hananoi
    Uh, sorry. There was a
    leaf stuck in your hair.
[08:45] Hotaru
    O-Oh...
[08:50] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, are you avoiding me today?
[08:54] Hotaru
    Huh? Oh, no! I'm not avoiding you.
[08:57] Hotaru
    I just, I don't know, feel a little shy.
[09:00] Hotaru
    Maybe because we haven't seen each
    other recently? I wonder why.
[09:04] Hotaru
    I don't really understand it myself.
[09:08] Hananoi
    Okay.
[09:10] Hananoi
    Maybe we're making some progress then.
[09:12] Hotaru
    Huh?
[09:15] Hananoi
    Um, listen, would you let me
    recharge just for a little bit?
[09:22] Hotaru
    Oh.
[09:24] Hotaru
    Is your phone battery running low?
[09:28] Hotaru
    W-Wait, h-huh? What did you mean?
[09:31] Hananoi
    Don't worry.
[09:33] Hananoi
    Just stay right there.
[09:36] Hananoi
    I promise not to touch you.
[09:41] Hananoi
    I haven't had enough of you recently.
[09:44] Hananoi
    I thought I was going to die.
[09:48] Hotaru
    Wh-What am I supposed to do?
[09:54] Hotaru
    I can smell Hananoi-kun...
[10:01] Hotaru
    It's been a while since he's
    been this close to me.
[10:15] Hotaru
    I feel kind of nervous, but I also feel
    like I'm getting something that I needed.
[10:22] Hotaru
    Could that mean I wanted to see him too?
[10:27] Hananoi
    Thank you.
[10:33] Hananoi
    All charged up now.
[10:36] Hananoi
    Want to go back to the others?
[10:38] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[10:40] Hotaru
    So that's it.
[10:42] Hotaru
    That's what he meant by a "recharge."
[10:47] Hotaru
    I'm learning new things every day,
    but there's still so much I don't understand.
[10:54] Hotaru
    I want to discover even more.
    Like what kind of person Hananoi-kun is.
[11:00] Hotaru
    What he cares about. What he treasures.
[11:05] Hotaru
    And then someday, I want to put
    the biggest smile on his face.
[11:13] Hotaru
    I'd like to see that.

    This is my first job and everything

    are you working today?
[13:23] Hotaru
    I'm on until closing, so eight.
[13:26] Hananoi

    Wait, no.
[15:13] Hotaru
    That's right.

    Hananoi-kun values our time
    together more than I realize.
[15:22] Hotaru
    Actually, sure. If it's okay with you.
[15:28] Hotaru
    Wow! He looks so happy.
[15:32] Hotaru
    We respond to things differently,
    so I'll have to be mindful.

    I think once I figure that out, I'll start

    Dinner will be ready in a little bit.
[16:23] Hananoi
    Um, I know I promised not to touch you,
[16:28] Hananoi
    but in a situation like this, Hotaru-chan,
    you shouldn't let your guard down.
[16:32] Hotaru
    Oh, uh, right!
[16:35] Hotaru
    My only thought was spending time
    together since he's been so lonely.
[16:41] Hotaru
    He's kept his distance
    since he "recharged," but...
[16:45] Hananoi
    Oh, that's right, Hotaru-chan.
    It's my turn, isn't it?
[16:52] Hotaru
    Thanks!
[16:53] Hananoi
    I actually just wrote in it a few minutes ago.

    Huh?

    I want to see what little Hotaru-chan looked like
[17:00] Hananoi
    Wow!

    S-So cute!
[17:09] Hotaru
    N-Next time, you have to show

[17:13] Hananoi
    Huh?
[17:14] Hananoi
    I don't think they'd be very interesting.
[17:16] Hotaru
    Look who's talking!
[17:18] Hananoi
    I was boring and nerdy when I was a kid.
[17:22] Hotaru
    Really? I can't even imagine that.
[17:25] Hotaru
    This is my chance to ask him things!
[17:29] Hananoi
    Oh...
[17:31] Hotaru
    U-Um, Hananoi-kun, when you were younger—
[17:34] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, you look good
    even with long hair.
[17:44] Hananoi
    Would you ever grow it out again?
[17:48] Hotaru
    Ah...
[17:50] Hotaru
    My hair?
[17:53] Hotaru
    No... I, uh... I don't think I ever will.
[18:01] Hotaru
    Crap! I'm making things awkward again!
[18:04] Hotaru
    What about you, Hananoi-kun?
[18:07] Hotaru
    I thought you looked nice with
    long hair when we first met.
[18:11] Hananoi
    In that case, maybe I'll grow it out.
[18:15] Hotaru
    You'd go back to that?
[18:21] Hotaru
    Wait...
[18:23] Hotaru
    I keep doing the same thing recently.
[18:27] Hotaru
    Is it okay to just let that go?
[18:31] Hotaru
    I want to ask Hananoi-kun more,
    but I'm not talking about myself.
[18:37] Hotaru
    Is that okay?
[18:41] Hotaru
    U-Um, you know what?
[18:43] Hananoi
    Hmm?
[18:45] Hotaru
    The reason I wanted to work at a bookstore
    is because I wanted to understand you better.
[18:51] Hananoi
    Huh?
[18:52] Hotaru
    And also, well, a long time ago,
    someone cut my hair as a prank.
[18:58] Hotaru
    It was back in elementary school.
[19:01] Hotaru
    A friend I used to be really close with
     did it as a joke.
[19:06] Hotaru
    It was a real shock.
[19:09] Hotaru
    And since then, I've kept my hair short.
[19:12] Hananoi
    Is that the friend you mentioned before
    that you fell out with?
[19:16] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[19:17] Hotaru
    I hurt her first,
    and I didn't realize how badly.
[19:23] Hotaru
    So we're kind of even, I guess.
[19:27] Hotaru
    I've been terrible about understanding
    people's feelings since I was little.
[19:34] Hotaru
    I said it.
[19:39] Hotaru
    Maybe that was too heavy.
[19:42] Hananoi
    In my case,
[19:44] Hananoi
    I was a gloomy kid in elementary school.
[19:47] Hananoi
    I was too scared to talk
    to people I didn't know.
[19:51] Hotaru
    You were, Hananoi-kun?
[19:53] Hananoi
    I transferred partway
    through elementary school,
[19:56] Hananoi
    but I couldn't make a single friend
     at my new school either.
[20:00] Hananoi
    I was really the worst.
[20:03] Hotaru
    Then we're two of a kind.
[20:09] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun is so nice.
[20:12] Hotaru
    I'm glad I told him. That's the first
    time he's opened up about his past.
[20:17] Hananoi
    I'm so glad you told me.
[20:19] Hananoi
    Thank you.
[20:21] Hananoi
    That must have been hard to share.
[20:24] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, there's
    nothing terrible about you.
[20:28] Hananoi
    Nobody can truly understand
    the hearts of others,
[20:31] Hananoi
    and yet you still try to understand me.
[20:36] Hananoi
    You think about how I feel. You try so hard.
[20:41] Hananoi
    With you, Hotaru-chan,
    I'm experiencing so much for the first time.
[20:49] Hotaru
    We're the same.
[20:51] Hotaru
    I'm not the only one who
    gets overwhelmed by new things
[20:54] Hotaru
    and wants to learn more.
[20:57] Hotaru
    It isn't just me.
[21:08] Hotaru
    I-I'm sorry! I mean...
[21:17] Hotaru
    I-I-I-I-I'm really sorry! Your head was
    in the perfect spot, so I just...
[21:24] Hananoi
    Hota—
[21:24] Mom
    Hotaru, Hananoi-kun! Dinner's ready!
[21:37] Hotaru
    Why did I do that? I know Hananoi-kun
    is trying to hold back.
[21:43] Hotaru
    For some reason, I just suddenly
    wanted to touch him so badly.
[21:52] Hananoi
    Well, thanks for dinner.
[21:55] Hotaru
    See you tomorrow!
[21:59] Hotaru
    What's wrong with me?
[22:03] Hotaru
    And... when can I recharge again?

[00:00] Satomura
    I'm begging you!
[00:02] Satomura
    All you have to do is introduce me.
[00:04] Satomura
    I really want to be friends with Hananoi-kun!
[00:10] Hotaru
    Wha—?
SIGN    Episode 5
SIGN    Our First Date
[01:45] Hibiki
    Yeah, she 100 percent has ulterior motives!
[01:48] Hotaru
    Do you really think so?
[01:50] Hotaru
    This doesn't usually happen,
    so I'd totally forgotten
[01:54] Hotaru
    how popular Hananoi-kun is with girls.
[01:57] Hibiki
    I mean, he's always so cold at school
    that it makes him hard to approach.
[02:03] Tsukiha
    You know, the girls in my club say he's
    a "look but don't touch" kind of hottie.
[02:10] Hotaru
    Come to think of it,
[02:12] Hotaru
    I've never seen Hananoi-kun
    with any friends before.
[02:17] Hotaru
    If that's all she really wants,
    maybe it would be good.
[02:22] Hotaru
    And I'm not officially dating him,
    so I have no right to keep her away.
[02:26] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, is something wrong?
[02:29] Hananoi
    You've hardly touched your lunch.
[02:32] Hotaru
    I-I'm okay!
[02:38] Hotaru
    U-Um, this might be an odd question,
    but how would you feel about making a friend?
[02:46] Hananoi
    What? Did Kurata say something to you?
[02:48] Hotaru
    Huh? Keigo-kun?
[02:51] Hananoi
    Guess not.
[02:52] Hotaru
    Did something happen between you two?
[02:55] Hananoi
    No, nothing at all.
[02:58] Hananoi
    But friends, huh? I don't think I need any.
[03:01] Hananoi
    I'm actually trying not
    to make friends right now.
[03:04] Hotaru
    Huh? Why?
[03:05] Hananoi
    Hmm... Well, for example, let's say
    there's some kind of major disaster.
[03:11] Hananoi
    The first people everyone worries about
    are their relatives and lovers, right?
[03:17] Hananoi
    Friends don't really rank that high,
[03:20] Hananoi
    so wasting your feelings on them takes away
     from the people you really care about,
[03:26] Hananoi
    I think.
[03:27] Hotaru
    Do you... really feel that way?
[03:30] Hananoi
    I'm good just holding one person truly dear.
[03:34] Hananoi
    I've only got two hands, after all.
[03:39] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun sure has
    an unusual approach to things...
[03:43] Hotaru
    But he was so clear
    about not wanting friends.
[03:51] Hotaru
    Turning Satomura-san down
    might make things rocky.
[03:56] Non-chan
    I think I like Sohei-kun.
    Hotaru-chan, will you help me out?
[04:02] Hotaru
    Awkward...
[04:05] Hotaru
    Man, I guess this is another side
    to what dating's like.
[04:09] Kagari
    Hotaru?
[04:11] Kagari
    Did you remove all the strings?
[04:12] Hotaru
    Sis...
[04:14] Hotaru
    No! Master!
[04:17] Kagari
    U-Uh...
[04:20] Kagari
    So basically, a coworker asked you
    to introduce your so-called "trial" boyfriend.
[04:25] Kagari
    But you don't want to pressure him,
[04:28] Kagari
    or make things awkward at work either.
[04:31] Kagari
    You sure are growing up.
[04:33] Hotaru
    How do I make it all work out?
[04:37] Kagari
    You don't.
[04:39] Kagari
    You can't live without
    hurting people sometimes.
[04:42] Kagari
    You've got to decide
    who's most important to you.
[04:46] Hotaru
    That's like what Hananoi-kun said.
[04:49] Hotaru
    I knew you'd help, Master!
[04:51] Kagari
    I mean, not that I've ever had a boyfriend.
[04:57] Hotaru
    I'll tell her no before
    I start my shift today.
[05:00] Hotaru
    Not a great feeling...
[05:02] Hananoi
    You seem really down lately.
[05:05] Hotaru
    N-No, I'm fine! It's just, today...
[05:09] Hotaru
    Y'know, it's colder up here than normal, isn't it?
[05:12] Hananoi
    You might be right.
[05:16] Hotaru
    The door's open.
[05:18] Hananoi
    The person on safety checks must
    have forgotten to close it.
[05:21] Hananoi
    We could go out on the roof.
[05:23] Hotaru
    Th-The roof?!
[05:26] Hotaru
    Wow! Hananoi-kun, Hananoi-kun!
    This is awesome!
[05:42] Hananoi
    I'm glad you're having so much fun.
[05:44] Hotaru
    I might never get to do this again.
[05:47] Hotaru
    But...
[05:51] Hotaru
    B-Breaking the rules
     is pretty exciting, isn't it?
[05:56] Hananoi
    You're an awfully good girl, Hotaru-chan.
[06:03] Hotaru
    Huh?
[06:08] Hananoi
    It won't open. It must be locked.
[06:11] Hotaru
    Huh?!
[06:12] Hotaru
    Did somebody notice it was open?
[06:14] Hananoi
    Probably. But it's okay.
    We have our phones on us.
[06:19] Hotaru
    Still...
[06:26] Hotaru
    Class has started.
SIGN    I know you're in class. Sorry!
    I'm on the roof right now.
    The door seems to be locked from the inside.
    Could you come open it for me?
[06:32] Hotaru
    I just messaged Kyo-chan
    and Shibamu for help.
[06:41] Hotaru
    Wait! Why are you slowly undressing?!
[06:45] Hananoi
    I was going to let you borrow this.
[06:47] Hotaru
    Of course you were!
    But you shouldn't do that!
[06:50] Hananoi
    But under the circumstances...
[06:57] Hananoi
    I'll be fine, so you should wear my cardigan.
[07:00] Hotaru
    You'll freeze, then, Hananoi-kun!
[07:03] Hotaru
    Oh, I know!
[07:05] Hotaru
    Like this!
[07:10] Hotaru
    Actually, this probably isn't the way...
[07:16] Hotaru
    A-Anyway, realistically speaking,
    this should be warmest, so let's stick it out.
[07:22] Hananoi
    As long as you're okay with it.
[07:26] Hotaru
    I'm sorry. This is my fault for
    wanting to come out on the roof.
[07:31] Hananoi
    Don't worry about that.
[07:33] Hotaru
    If nobody notices,
    will we die of exposure up here?!
[07:38] Hananoi
    We'll be fine. I promise we will.
[07:43] Hananoi
    You didn't do anything wrong, Hotaru-chan.
[07:47] Hananoi
    Relax.
[07:54] Hotaru
    I'm sorry.
[07:57] Hananoi
    Look, I'm sure we'll be fine, but if you
    think we're dying anyway, would you tell me?
[08:04] Hananoi
    What's had you so worried lately?
[08:06] Hotaru
    Huh?
[08:07] Hotaru
    Uh...
[08:07] Hananoi
    You haven't been finishing your lunch.
[08:10] Hananoi
    And you always have two croquettes
    after school, but you only ate one yesterday.
[08:14] Hotaru
    He's been watching me like a hawk!
[08:16] Hotaru
    M-Maybe it's my imagination, but... is he mad?
[08:23] Hananoi
    Sorry. You don't have to tell me.
[08:28] Hananoi
    I just always want you to be happy.
[08:35] Hotaru
    I can literally feel
    how worried he is about me.
[08:40] Hotaru
    He's so warm.
[08:42] Hotaru
    How could I upset someone
    who thinks about me so much?
[08:48] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, Hananoi-kun.
[08:50] Hotaru
    Um, to tell you the truth...
[08:54] Hananoi
    Oh boy. Is that all?
[08:57] Hotaru
    "Is that all"?!
[08:58] Hananoi
    I'll go turn her down myself.
[09:01] Hananoi
    It'd be tough for you if things
     got awkward at work, right?
[09:05] Hotaru
    So it's settled just like that? I guess so...
[09:09] Hotaru
    Huh. So I didn't need to get
    so worked up about it.
[09:16] Hotaru
    I'm so relieved!
[09:19] Hananoi
    I'm glad. You're back to normal now.
[09:24] Hotaru
    Are you okay? You can hold on to me tighter!
[09:26] Hananoi
    No, I'm fine. Any closer would be...
     I don't know. A bad idea.
[09:36] Hotaru
    D-Don't worry. The occasion calls for it.
[09:40] Hotaru
    And your promise not to touch me...
    Can we call that off now?
[09:48] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun's heart is beating really fast.
[09:52] Hotaru
    I don't know why, but that's making
    me so happy right now.
[09:58] Hotaru
    I-I'll tell Satomura-san myself.
[10:03] Hotaru
    With his body heat warming me,
    I feel like I can face anything.
[10:08] Hotaru
    I know whose feelings I value more now.
[10:12] Hotaru
    It'll be fine.
[10:19] Hananoi
    Bad move.
[10:21] Hananoi
    Do you realize what you just said?
[10:26] Hananoi
    I'm not gonna let you go now.
[10:34] Hibiki
    Hotaru! Are you alive?!
[10:36] Hibiki
    Huh? That's weird.
[10:39] Hotaru
    H-Hello? Over here. We're over here!
[10:43] Hananoi
    There she is!
[10:44] Hananoi
    Are you okay?
[10:46] Hotaru
    I-I'm glad you saw my message.
[10:48] Hibiki
    We had a free study period.
    Oh, I'm so relieved!
[10:52] Tsukiha
    You know, the door wasn't
    actually locked, though.
[10:55] Hotaru
    Huh?
[10:57] Hotaru
    Ah...
[10:59] Hananoi
    Sorry about that. I wanted some
    time to talk to you alone.
[11:04] Hananoi
    I wish we could've stayed
    just a little longer, though. Too bad.
[11:08] Hotaru
    Wh-Wh-What? Whaaat?!
[11:12] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, but that's why I
    can't introduce you to him!
[11:16] Satomura
    Are you for real? That beautiful
    vision is your boyfriend?
[11:20] Satomura
    Hota-chan, you're amazing!
[11:22] Hotaru
    Huh?
[11:23] Satomura
    Oh, wait. Did you think I liked
    Hananoi-kun or something?
[11:27] Satomura
    I'm sorry I gave you the wrong idea!
    He just looks like my fave idol!
[11:32] Hotaru
    Y-Your fave?
[11:33] Satomura
    Yeah! Takahiko-kun from the super
    popular idol group VERSUS!
[11:36] Satomura
    See, see?! Isn't he a dead ringer?!
[11:38] Satomura
    If he grew out his hair a little,
     he'd be perfect!
[11:41] Satomura
    When I first saw Hananoi-kun,
    I thought it was fate!
[11:42] Hotaru
    That's what this is about?
[11:45] Hotaru
    Thank you very much.
[11:47] Hotaru
    I'm glad Satomura-san doesn't actually
    have a crush on Hananoi-kun.
[11:52] Hotaru
    Wait.
[11:55] Hotaru
    What is this feeling? Relief?
[12:00] Hotaru
    Wanting to see him smile,
    wanting to touch him,
[12:04] Hotaru
    worrying about other girls liking him...
[12:09] Hotaru
    Is this love? Is that what love is?
[12:12] Hibiki
    Of course it's love!
[12:14] Tsukiha
    Why would you think it isn't?
[12:17] Hotaru
    To love is to think about someone
    more than anyone else, right?
[12:22] Hotaru
    I think I might like Hananoi-kun,
    but I like you guys just as much.
[12:31] Hotaru
    I guess I'm just not sure yet.
[12:33] Hibiki
    Ahem. Listen, love is different for everyone.
[12:37] Hibiki
    If you think it's love, then it is love!
[12:42] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan, you're so cool!
[12:45] Hibiki
    If you're with me, then go try this on.
    You have a date tomorrow, right?
[12:53] Hotaru
    Maybe this is a little too cute for me.
[12:56] Hotaru
    Everyone is different...
    Everyone is different, right?
[13:00] Hotaru
    Okay!
[13:06] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[13:08] Hotaru
    Thanks for waiting!
[13:10] Hotaru
    S-Sorry I'm late.
[13:14] Hananoi
    It's fine. Are you okay?
[13:16] Hotaru
    I stayed up late looking stuff up
     and then overslept.
[13:21] Hananoi
    Don't worry about it.
[13:22] Hananoi
    I was so excited about today, I didn't
     sleep a wink since the day before.
[13:25] Hotaru
    Not one wink since the day before?!
[13:28] Hananoi
    We're seeing a movie, right? Let's get going.
[13:31] Hotaru
    Okay.
[13:32] Hotaru
    W-Wait, hold on. I said that I was
    going to escort you today.
[13:38] Hotaru
    Let's go, Hananoi-kun.
[13:49] Hotaru
    Switch gears, switch gears!
[13:51] Hotaru
    For the morning, we'll catch a movie
    before having lunch at this place.
[13:54] Hotaru
    After browsing at the station building,
    we can grab a snack and take pictures.
SIGN    If we get stuck, go to the station
    It has lots of shops, so it'll be easy to kill time
    Browse clothes and products to figure out what he's into
    
    At karaoke, pick songs we both know
    It'll be fun for both of us if we sing together
    
    The place Kyo-chan recommended...
[13:58] Hotaru
    Great. For a beginner like me,
    this plan is foolproof!
[14:03] Hananoi
    Hold on a second.
[14:09] Hananoi
    You look really cute today, Hotaru-chan.
[14:14] Hotaru
    H-He noticed that I look different today.
[14:24] Hotaru
    The book Hananoi-kun was reading got made
    into a film. I thought it'd be perfect.
[14:33] Hotaru
    But it's one of those movies where
    a bunch of people get killed!
[14:51] Hananoi
    Just close your eyes
    during the scary scenes.
[14:56] Hotaru
    I'm so scared and so excited that I
    can't concentrate on the movie one bit!
[15:05] Hotaru
    I-I totally blew it.
    I couldn't follow the movie at all.
[15:09] Hotaru
    And I wanted for us
    to talk about it afterward!
[15:13] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, are you okay?
    That was pretty scary.
[15:18] Hotaru
    I-I'm okay! Just a little shocked
    since I don't usually watch this genre.
[15:23] Hotaru
    But I thought the story was really...
     really, uh, interesting.
[15:27] Hananoi
    Why don't we go get lunch now?
[15:30] Hotaru
    Lunch? Sure! I already picked out a place.
SIGN    The place Kyo-chan recommended:
    Italian restaurant "Renoge"
    Interior and food both look really fancy—worth the price!
    Has large servings, so boys should like it too.
    Careful! Sometimes there's a line for lunch.
SIGN    Temporarily Closed
[15:43] Hananoi
    W-We'll come again another time. Okay?
[15:47] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, Hananoi-kun.
[15:50] Hananoi
    For what? It's okay. Things never
    work out perfectly the first time.
[15:57] Hananoi
    More importantly, you put so much
    thought into planning today for me.
[16:02] Hananoi
    That makes me really happy.
[16:04] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun...
[16:05] Hananoi
    Hey, over there. Isn't that the restaurant
    you said you wanted to try before?
[16:36] Hotaru
    Here! To commemorate today.
[16:41] Hananoi
    I bought one too.
[16:48] Hotaru
    We picked the same thing!
[16:54] Hotaru
    I wasn't a very good escort at all.
[16:57] Hananoi
    I still had a whole lot of fun, though.
[16:59] Hotaru
    I had fun too! Thanks to your help.
[17:04] Hotaru
    And it was very educational.
[17:07] Hotaru
    You don't have to stick to a plan.
    Just find things to enjoy together.
[17:12] Hotaru
    Dates sure are fun!
[17:15] Ex-Girlfriend A
    Dates with you are always so weird.
[17:17] Ex-Girlfriend B
    Sorry, but you're scaring me.
[17:20] Hotaru
    Dates sure are fun!
[17:33] Hotaru
    Thanks for walking me home.
[17:37] Hotaru
    Oh, isn't this...
[17:39] Hananoi
    The place where we first met.
[17:44] Hotaru
    This park is really close
    to my elementary school,
[17:47] Hotaru
    so I used to play here a lot as a kid.
[17:50] Hotaru
    Come to think of it, why were you here that
     day? It's pretty far from the cafe...
[17:58] Hananoi
    Were you actually at the
    cafe then too, Hotaru-chan?
[18:01] Hotaru
    Mm-hmm.
[18:02] Hananoi
    No wonder. That's why you
     offered me your umbrella.
[18:05] Hotaru
    Well, I was kind of worried
    it was none of my business.
[18:11] Hananoi
    I wandered around in a daze
    and suddenly found myself here.
[18:16] Hananoi
    I was pretty depressed that day.
[18:23] Hananoi
    That's why...
[18:26] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan,
[18:29] Hananoi
    you're my hero.
[18:35] Hananoi
    I'm so happy.
[18:39] Hananoi
    Ever since I met you here, I've been in bliss.
[18:46] Hananoi
    It almost scares me.
[18:48] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun...
[18:51] Elementary School Student A
    Bam!
[18:59] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun? Hananoi-kun?
[19:03] Hotaru
    Are you awake?
[19:11] Hananoi
    Was I unconscious?
[19:14] Hotaru
    Just for a little bit. Are you okay?
     Want to rest at my place?
[19:19] Hananoi
    No, I'm fine.
[19:22] Hananoi
    Instead, I want to stay
    like this a little longer.
[19:27] Hotaru
    It probably wasn't good that
    he didn't get any sleep.
[19:30] Hotaru
    And then I tired him out
    by making him walk so much.
[19:45] Hotaru
    You tried to protect me, didn't you?
[19:48] Hotaru
    Thank you.
[19:50] Hotaru
    But don't go overboard, okay?
[19:53] Hotaru
    I've been worried about that
    part of you ever since we met.
[19:58] Hotaru
    You don't need to throw yourself
    in front of danger for me.
[20:02] Hananoi
    But...
[20:07] Hananoi
    Even if I study hard and play sports,
    even if I'm as kind as I can be,
[20:12] Hananoi
    in the end, everyone always
    chooses someone else over me.
[20:17] Hananoi
    The only thing I have left to give...
[20:21] Hananoi
    is myself.
[20:25] Hotaru
    That's not true. That's not true!
[20:29] Hotaru
    Even if you don't go that far,
    there are people who'd stand by you.
[20:34] Hotaru
    Like... Like me.
[20:37] Hotaru
    I like the way the time passes
    so peacefully when I'm with you.
[20:41] Hotaru
    I like the way you seem to be good at
    everything, but you actually aren't perfect.
[20:46] Hotaru
    I like the way you're kind to those in need.
[20:50] Hotaru
    I like the way you're always
    so honest about your feelings.
[20:54] Hotaru
    You don't need to sacrifice yourself like that.
[20:58] Hotaru
    I really, really like you, Hananoi-kun!
[21:05] Hananoi
    Do you mean it...?
[21:09] Hananoi
    If I'd be so happy if that's true.
[21:22] Hotaru
    Does he understand my feelings for him now?
[21:26] Hotaru
    They're so hard to put into words.
[21:29] Hotaru
    But thank you. Every time you tell me you
    like me, it gives me a lot of strength.
[21:38] Hotaru
    I want to be able to do that
    for Hananoi-kun too.
[21:44] Hotaru
    I want to be of help to him.
[21:46] Hotaru
    I don't want him to smile
    like he's sad inside.
[21:49] Hotaru
    I want to see him smile like
    he's really, truly happy.
[21:55] Hotaru
    Oh...
[21:58] Hotaru
    Is this love?

    Oh, Hotaru-chan. Good morning.
[02:06] Hotaru
    Good morning, Hananoi-kun!
[02:11] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, listen. I really...
[02:15] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, I, um...
[02:18] Hotaru
    L...
[02:20] Hotaru
    L-Liii...
[02:23] Hotaru
    N-Never mind! It's nothing!
[02:25] Hotaru
    Wait, what?
[02:27] Hotaru
    I li...

    Li...
[02:32] Hotaru

[02:34] Hotaru
    Is it always this hard to tell

[02:39] Kuroe
    Okay, let's start the evening staff meeting.
[02:40] Hotaru
    What should I do?
[02:42] Kuroe
    First off, we have a new
    part-timer joining us today.
[02:46] Kuroe
    Yao-kun?
[02:47] Yao
    Hello! My name is Yao Sohei.
    It's really great to meet you all.
[02:52] Hotaru
    Huh?
[02:55] Yao
    Oh?
[02:57] Yao
    Wow! Hotako?
[03:00] Hotaru
    Yao-kun?
[03:02] Yao
    I haven't seen you since graduation!
[03:05] Satomura
    Is he a friend of yours?
[03:06] Hotaru
    Um, we were in the same class
     in elementary school.
[03:11] Kuroe
    Save the emotional reunion for later, okay?
[03:14] Kuroe
    Let's get back to the meeting.
[03:16] Yao
    All right.
[03:18] (Flashback) Non-chan
    You know Sohei-kun, right?
[03:23] (Flashback) Non-chan
    I think I like him.
[03:25] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Oh, Yao-kun? No kidding!
[03:30] (Flashback) Non-chan
    I know I'm not good enough for him.
[03:33] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That isn't true! You have a lot
    of great qualities, Non-chan!
[03:39] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Hey, Hotaru-chan... Will you help me out?!
[03:45] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Sure!
[03:50] Yao
    Hotako!
[03:52] Yao
    Good work today.
[03:53] Hotaru
    You too.
[03:55] Hotaru
    But would you knock the "Hotako" thing off?
[03:58] Yao
    Oh, come on! I can't call you "Hotaru"
    like my little queen at home.

[04:03] Yao
    But man, what a surprise!
[04:06] Yao
    What's it been, four years?
    Never thought I'd run into you here.
[04:10] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[04:12] Yao
    Though, you know,
     I'm glad you're doing well.
[04:15] Yao
    I mean, at graduation, you seemed...
    I don't know. Kinda out of sorts.
[04:21] Yao
    You cut your hair all of a sudden
    and then wouldn't talk to anybody.
[04:28] Hotaru
    W-Well, I've gotta run!
[04:30] Yao
    Hey, wait up. Hotako!
[04:34] Yao
    Oh, excuse me.
[04:40] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[04:42] Yao
    Hananoi?
[04:45] Hananoi
    Chasing a girl down... You some pervert?
[04:49] Hotaru
    N-No, it's not like that. He's actually...
[04:51] Yao
    Wait, is this guy your boyfriend?
[04:54] Yao
    Sorry, man! Hotako and I went
    to elementary school together.
[04:58] Yao
    I was so happy to see her again,
    I just wanted to chat for a bit.
[05:02] Hananoi
    "Hotako"?
[05:05] Yao
    All right, well, see you at work!
[05:10] Hotaru
    Um, that was Yao-kun.
    He started working at my store today.
[05:17] Hananoi
    What a coincidence.
[05:19] Hotaru
    Yeah, it was a big surprise.
[05:24] Hotaru
    What is this...?
[05:25] Hotaru
    Sh-Shall we get going?
[05:27] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[05:41] Yao
    Was your boyfriend good after that?
[05:44] Hotaru
    Huh?
[05:45] Yao
    He didn't get, like, super jealous or angry?
[05:49] Hotaru
    Oh, no, he seemed perfectly normal.
[05:52] Yao
    I never imagined you'd be
    into someone like that, Hotako.
[05:56] Yao
    You got yourself such a good-looking
    boyfriend, I couldn't help worrying a little.
[06:00] Hotaru
    Why? He's a really nice guy.
[06:03] Yao
    Yeah? I guess it's all good, then.
[06:10] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[06:12] Hotaru
    Actually...
[06:14] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun's "let's always be together"
     vibe
has gotten stronger recently.
[06:17] Hananoi
    I hope work went okay.
[06:22] Hananoi
    Let's go.
[06:23] Hotaru
    Yeah, sure.
[06:28] Hotaru
    You've been picking me up from work
     every day lately. Did something happen?
[06:35] Hananoi
    I'm a bit worried about that guy from before.
[06:38] Hotaru
    Huh?
[06:39] Hotaru
    Oh, Yao-kun?
[06:41] Hananoi
    Is everything okay?
    Has he tried anything funny?
[06:44] Hotaru
    Everything's fine. He's a good guy.
[06:49] Hananoi
    A good guy, huh?
[06:51] Hananoi
    I bet he's popular with the ladies, though.
[06:54] Hotaru
    Yeah, definitely. All the girls liked
    him in elementary school
[07:00] Hotaru
    because he was so nice
    and got along with everyone.
[07:04] Hotaru
    All of my friends included.
[07:09] Hananoi
    What about you?
[07:10] Hotaru
    Huh?
[07:14] Hotaru
    Oh.
[07:15] Hotaru
    Nothing like that! I didn't see
    Yao-kun that way at all! Honest!
[07:21] Hananoi
    Yeah? I'm glad.
[07:23] Hotaru
    He said that with a smile on his face...
[07:27] Hotaru
    But afterward, Hananoi-kun started coming
    to see me at work more and more often.
[07:34] Hotaru
    U-Um, d-don't you think you've been
    dropping by a little too much, maybe?
[07:43] Hananoi
    You know, you're right.
    Sorry for bothering you at work.
[07:52] Yao
    Hotako, you sure don't hold back!
[07:55] Satomura
    I get how he feels, though!
[07:57] Satomura
    Just dying to spend every second
    with the person you like!
[08:00] Hotaru
    That's not it.
[08:02] Hotaru
    Before, it did just feel like he wanted
    to be with me. But now...
[08:07] Yao
    Why do people in love have so much
    trouble controlling themselves?
[08:12] Hotaru
    Come to think of it,
    it was the same thing back then...
[08:17] (Flashback) Non-chan
    So, um, listen...
[08:20] (Flashback) Non-chan
    I heard a rumor that you like Sohei-kun,
    Hotaru-chan. Is that true?
[08:24] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Huh? That's a rumor? It's totally wrong.
[08:29] (Flashback) Non-chan
    O-Of course it is! I'm glad.
[08:33] Hotaru
    I didn't think too hard about what
    she was going through then
[08:38] Hotaru
    and wound up leaving a sliver of doubt.
[08:41] Hotaru
    I shouldn't have just let it go
    when she forced a smile like that.
[08:46] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Hotaru-chan.
[08:48] (Flashback) Non-chan
    You're a liar.
[08:55] Hotaru
    It's been a long time since
    I dreamt about the past.
[08:58] Hotaru
    Oh... I get it now.
[09:00] Hotaru
    I think I understand why I couldn't
    tell Hananoi-kun I like him.
[09:05] Hotaru
    I might still be too scared.
[09:09] Hotaru
    Because I know how strong feelings
    can sometimes change people.
[09:20] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[09:22] Hananoi
    Care to take a little detour?
[09:26] Hananoi
    Here, let's share it.
[09:28] Hotaru
    Thank you.
[09:29] Hotaru
    What a treat!
[09:33] Hotaru
    It's so hot and fresh.
[09:35] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, you got cream on your cheek.
[09:39] Hotaru
    How embarrassing!
[09:41] Hotaru
    Things are getting back to normal again.
[09:45] Hananoi
    For some reason, I feel so
    relaxed when we're together.
[09:50] Hotaru
    I was just thinking the same thing!
[09:54] Hananoi
    Um, listen... I know you've been
    a little down recently.
[10:01] Hananoi
    It's my fault, isn't it?
    I'm sorry about that.
[10:04] Hananoi
    I know I can be... kind of intense.
[10:08] Hananoi
    I'm well aware of that, but...
[10:11] Hananoi
    But it's okay now!
[10:14] Hananoi
    I'll try not to make you
    uncomfortable any—
[10:16] Hotaru
    Why? Why are you only ever worried about me?
[10:20] Hotaru
    Things aren't okay! You're the one
     feeling down, Hananoi-kun.
[10:24] Hotaru
    If something is bothering you,
     won't you tell me?
[10:28] Hotaru
    Don't hide behind a fake smile
    until it's too late.
[10:32] Hotaru
    I want you to tell me how you really feel!
[10:37] Hananoi
    It isn't your fault, Hotaru-chan.
[10:40] Hananoi
    And I know it's not like anything
     has happened yet.
[10:44] Hananoi
    It's just... I don't know. I can't get
    the thought out of my head.
[10:51] Hananoi
    One day, if you ever meet someone
    else who isn't like me...
[10:55] Hananoi
    A better person. Someone who's
     a better match for you.
[11:01] Hananoi
    I think about what would happen then...
[11:05] Hananoi
    In the end, everyone chooses
     someone else over me.
[11:10] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, c-come with me for a minute!
[11:15] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan? What are you—
[11:21] Hotaru
    R-Recharging!
[11:23] Hotaru
    Listen, over Christmas,
[11:25] Hotaru
    I realized if I was going to fall in love,
    I wanted it to be with you, Hananoi-kun.
[11:30] Hotaru
    You and only you.
    That's how you made me feel!
[11:35] Hotaru
    So you don't even need
    to worry about anyone else!
[11:48] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, I like you so much.
[11:52] Hananoi
    I like you more than anyone, Hotaru-chan.
[11:56] Hananoi
    More than anyone else in the world.
     I like you so much.
[12:05] Hotaru
    In that moment, it took all the
    strength I had to hold on to him,
[12:11] Hotaru
    and I wasn't able to say, "I like you too."
[12:15] Hotaru
    I didn't think it would him happy
[12:17] Hotaru
    if I just blurted out that I also liked
    him more than anyone in the world.
[12:23] Hotaru
    Man, love sure is hard.
[12:26] Hotaru
    I need to become stronger.
[12:29] Hotaru
    Going forward, I want to be able to take care
    of the person I care about so much.
[12:38] Hotaru
    Since then, everything has seemed
    back to normal on the surface,
[12:42] Hotaru
    but I'm sure he's still
    worried about Yao-kun.
[12:48] Hotaru
    And I still haven't said it.
[12:52] Hotaru
    But I do like him! I've got to make a move!
[12:55] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[12:57] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[12:58] Hotaru
    S-Sorry!
[13:00] Hananoi
    It's okay. Should we start heading home?
[13:03] Hotaru
    That said, I don't know exactly what to do.

    When did that ever happen?

    That was why I couldn't give
    you my self-introduction card.

    But with the endless line after class,
    I gave up on giving him mine.
[14:43] Yao
    What, really?
    You should've just given it to me.
[14:46] Hotaru
    I ended up giving cards to Non-chan,
    Chiho-chan, and Sasaki-kun...
[14:50] Hotaru
    And that made three.
[14:51] Yao
    Huh? Who's Sasaki?

    Huh?
[14:54] Satomura
    You two sure were good friends.

    Hmm?
[15:07] Hotaru
    Okay.

    and I bet Hananoi-kun wouldn't complain
    even if they turned out bad.
[15:17] Hotaru
    So tomorrow I'll take the
    store-bought ones after all.

[16:47] Hananoi

     Um, you've got chocolate on you...
[17:12] Hananoi
    Yeah, sorry. I just...

    I've been trying to bake since morning,

[17:24] Hananoi
    I'm sorry for spoiling our date!
[17:27] Hotaru

[17:29] Hotaru
    But what's this about?
    Are you into baking, Hananoi-kun?
[17:33] Hananoi
    N-No, it's my first time.
[17:37] Hananoi
    I know I've been projecting my
    insecurities onto you recently.
[17:42] Hananoi
    I can tell I haven't been making
    you happy, Hotaru-chan.
[17:45] Hananoi
    So I thought, since it's Valentine's Day,
    I'd make you some chocolates.
[17:50] Hananoi
    I thought if I made you something myself,
[17:52] Hananoi
    and if it was good enough that you liked it,

    Okay, here we go!
[18:27] Hananoi
    I was trying to make a chocolate gateau.
[18:30] Hotaru
    Mm-hm.
[18:34] Hananoi
    Actually, I wanted to start
    practicing a week ago,
[18:40] Hananoi
    but it took me so long to learn how
    to separate the yolks from the whites,
[18:44] Hananoi
    I didn't have enough time to
    practice making the cake.
[18:47] Hotaru
    I'm just noticing, but Hananoi-kun
    must usually wear contacts.
[18:53] Hotaru
    He's so stressed out
    and depressed over messing up,
[18:56] Hotaru
    I feel like I'm seeing the totally
    natural Hananoi-kun today.
[19:00] Hotaru
    I'm impressed. You always seem like
    you can do everything with ease,
[19:05] Hotaru
    but you actually work really hard
    to get new things right.
[19:10] Hotaru
    That's one reason I like
    you so much, Hananoi-kun.
[19:17] Hotaru
    Huh? Did I just say, "I like you"?
[19:30] Hananoi
    This egg has two yolks in it.
[19:38] Hotaru
    I like you.
[19:41] Hotaru
    I like you so much!
[19:44] Hotaru
    I've never felt this way before.
    But I know it won't change.
[19:49] Hotaru
    Even if I'm unsure of things,
    I know what I'm feeling right now
[19:54] Hotaru
    is definitely the real thing!
[20:00] Hotaru
    It smells so good.
[20:02] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[20:06] Hotaru
    Listen, Hananoi-kun.
[20:09] Hotaru
    When I was in elementary school,
[20:12] Hotaru
    this weird rumor went around that I had a
    crush on a boy that my friend liked.
[20:19] Hotaru
    It wasn't true, of course, and I denied it.
[20:23] Hotaru
    But I didn't try very hard to explain things
    to my friend, and it really hurt her.
[20:29] Hananoi
    Is this the friend who cut your hair?
[20:34] Hotaru
    Yup.
[20:36] Hotaru
    We were so close, too.
[20:39] Hotaru
    It made me realize that love
    can change you, and that scared me.
[20:43] Hotaru
    But I've always felt like if I'd understood
    what it meant to like someone,
[20:48] Hotaru
    maybe things would have
    turned out differently.
[20:53] Hotaru
    The reason I wanted to date you
     and learn what love means
[20:56] Hotaru
    was partly because of that.
[21:00] Hananoi
    You must have really cared
     for this friend, Hotaru-chan.
[21:10] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[21:15] Hotaru
    Hey, Hananoi-kun, doesn't the idea that
    you or I might change someday scare you?
[21:24] Hananoi
    For me, before I started dating you,
    food was just sustenance in my eyes.
[21:32] Hananoi
    You taught me how delicious it can be.
[21:38] Hananoi
    If love has the power to change
     people for the worse,
[21:42] Hananoi
    it must also have the power
    to change us for the better.
[21:46] Hananoi
    That's what I realize when I watch you.
[21:52] Hananoi
    Okay.
[21:53] Hananoi & Hotari
    Time to taste it.
[21:59] Hotaru
    It's so good!
[22:02] Hotaru
    Happy Valentine's Day, Hananoi-kun!
[23:16] Hotaru
    S-Say, Hananoi-kun...
[23:24] Hotaru
    Maybe you won't want this
    since we baked our own.
[23:30] Hotaru
    But I really like you, Hananoi-kun.
[23:34] Hotaru
    I'm... in love with you!

    Thank you.
[03:42] Hananoi
    I'm...
[03:45] Hananoi
    so happy.
[03:51] Hananoi
    Are you sure about this?
[03:54] Hananoi
    Are you sure what you're feeling is love?
[04:02] Hotaru
    Well, Kyo-chan says that love means
    different things for different people.
[04:08] Hotaru
    So it might not be the
    exact same thing you feel,
[04:13] Hotaru
    but I do think this is love!
[04:19] Hananoi
    You know, I really do like you.
[04:22] Hananoi
    I want to be with you all the time.
[04:24] Hotaru
    Uh-huh.
[04:26] Hananoi
    As long as I have you,
     I don't care about anyone else.
[04:30] Hananoi
    I don't need family or friends.
[04:32] Hotaru

    I shouldn't have snapped at you

    It's getting cold, dear.
[10:03] Hotaru
    Oh, right!
[10:13] Grandma
    Oh, I see.
[10:15] Grandma
    You've baked together and visited
    a shrine with friends...
[10:20] Grandma
    I suppose this means that boy is
    enjoying a normal high school life.
[10:25] Grandma
    That's quite a relief.
[10:27] Grandma
    You know, he never tells me anything at all.
[10:31] Hotaru
    I-Is that right?
[10:33] Grandma
    If it turned out he was living
    an unhealthy lifestyle,
[10:37] Grandma
    I was thinking of dragging
    him back to live with me.
[10:41] Hotaru
    Why does Hananoi-kun live alone now?
[10:44] Grandma
    Oh, didn't he tell you? About his parents?
[10:48] Hananoi
    He said they're doctors who work overseas.
[10:53] Grandma
    Well, it's not exactly work.
[10:56] Grandma
    They're practically volunteers.
[11:01] Grandma
    You see, his parents travel back
    and forth to poor countries,
[11:04] Grandma
    helping children who can't
    afford medical treatment.
[11:10] Hotaru
    I saw a show about people like that on TV!
[11:15] Grandma
    Well, what they're doing is wonderful,
[11:18] Grandma
    except they go around helping other peoples'
    children while ignoring their own son.
[11:26] Grandma
    I took care of him
    while he was living with me.
[11:28] Grandma
    I wonder if he was embarrassed by that.
[11:31] Grandma
    Once he started high school, he wanted
    to move back into the old apartment alone.
[11:37] Grandma
    He's a good boy, but he can be
     a bit extreme sometimes.
[11:41] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[11:43] Grandma
    Though he's changed a little recently.
[11:47] Grandma
    He never seemed to care
    much for food before,
[11:51] Grandma
    but now he asks me about cooking
     and even cleans his plate.
[11:58] Grandma
    I wonder who
    is having an effect on him.
[12:00] Hotaru
    Huh?
[12:06] Hotaru
    By the way, what happened to your hand?
[12:10] Grandma
    Oh, this little thing?
[12:12] Grandma
    When I went over to cook for him,
    I goofed and burned myself.
[12:17] Grandma
    I told him it'd heal on its own,
    but he dragged me to the hospital.

[00:04] Hibiki
    Our little Hotaru's really gone
    and become someone's girlfriend now.
[00:12] Tsukiha
    Congratulations again, Hotaru.
[00:15] Tsukiha
    I'm so happy for you!
[00:18] Hotaru
    The only reason someone like me
    was able to fall in love
[00:21] Hotaru
    is because I got so much good
    advice from the two of you.
[00:24] Hotaru
    Thank you so much.
[00:28] Tsukiha
    So, what are you two going to do during
    spring break? Go on a bunch of dates?
[00:32] Hotaru
    Hmm...
[00:34] Hotaru
    But we see each other all the time at work.
[00:38] Tsukiha & Hibiki
    Huh?
[00:41] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun got a job
     at the place where I work.
[00:44] Tsukiha & Hibiki
    Huh?!
[00:47] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, I want to ask you something.
[00:53] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Um...
[00:58] (Flashback) Hananoi
    If it's okay with you, Hotaru-chan,
[01:01] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I want to spend more time together.
[01:06] Hotaru
    I-I wasn't so sure about it either, but he
    promised to keep it professional at work.
[01:12] Tsukiha
    Well, as long as you're okay with it.
[01:14] Tsukiha
    Still, you should try
     to maintain a little distance.
[01:18] Hibiki
    I mean, can someone like him
    who has zero interest in strangers
[01:22] Hibiki
    even work a customer service job?

SIGN    My First Pet
[02:59] Hotaru
    Zero interest in strangers, huh?
[03:02] Hotaru
    I guess I kind of knew that...
[03:05] Hotaru
    But it hasn't caused problems so far,
    and everyone here's real nice.
[03:11] Hotaru
    Everything should be fine, right?
[03:13] Satomura
    Um, Hananoi-kun!
[03:16] Satomura
    Can I please take your picture?!
[03:18] Hananoi
    No way.
[03:21] Hotaru
    E-Everyone really is nice...
[03:24] Hananoi
    Oh, Hotaru-chan! Good morning.
[03:27] Hotaru
    G-Good morning.
[03:29] Hotaru
    Gosh, I'm still not used to this!
[03:34] Kuroe
    That covers it for now.
[03:37] Kuroe
    Okay, let's make this another great day.
[03:39] All
    We'll do our best!
[03:43] Kuroe
    Oh, Hananoi, come with me.
[03:46] Kuroe
    And that's how it's done. You get all that?
[03:50] Hananoi
    Yes.
[03:51] Kuroe
    The register should be your priority,
    so just come out on the floor when you can.
[03:55] Kuroe
    You won't get to this all.
[03:57] Hananoi
    All right.
[04:00] Kuroe
    I heard that you're Hinase-san's
    boyfriend. Is that right?
[04:05] Hananoi
    Yes, that's correct.
[04:09] Kuroe
    Well, try not to show it
    when you're on the job, okay?
[04:12] Kuroe
    You two are here to work, after all.
[04:22] Satomura
    I give thanks to this lovely
    world and to Hota-chan!
[04:26] Satomura
    I still can't believe you two
    get to work together.
[04:30] Satomura
    I'm so jealous! I never had anything
    like that when I was younger.
[04:34] Satomura
    Even Yao-kun is super popular.
[04:36] Yao
    Please stop talking like I get all the girls.
[04:40] Yao
    I haven't had much luck
     when it comes to romance.
[04:43] Yao
    Still, I have more respect for people
    who take good care of their friends,
[04:48] Yao
    even if they've never been in love.
[04:55] Hananoi
    The manager asked if you could bundle
     these magazines together.
[04:58] Yao
    Roger that.
[05:01] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun?
[05:07] Hananoi
    O-Oh, that's right.
[05:09] Hananoi
    I was worried about things
    between him and Yao-kun...
[05:15] Hananoi
    But all seems well now, I suppose.
[05:19] Yao
    Oh.
[05:23] Yao
    Good work today.
[05:28] Yao
    Guess he's dropped the act now.
[05:32] Yao
    Hey, I know I made a bad
    impression when we met,
[05:37] Yao
    but Hotako and I are just friends.
[05:39] Yao
    Since we're working together now,
    let's try to get along, okay?
[05:44] Hananoi
    Would you knock it off
    with the "Hotako" stuff?
[05:48] Hananoi
    I don't know about your past, but you don't look
    like you're even much "friends" anymore to me.
[05:57] Hananoi
    Stay away from Hotaru-chan, okay?
[06:02] Yao
    Yeesh, I don't think he likes me.
[06:08] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun! Thanks for waiting.
[06:12] Hananoi
    Good job today, Hotaru-chan.
[06:17] Hotaru
    How are you getting along with Manager Kuroe?
[06:19] Hananoi
    Hmm...
[06:22] Hananoi
    As long as I'm with you, it's all good.
[06:25] Hotaru
    That must mean there's been some friction.
[06:28] Hotaru
    Manager Kuroe can be pretty strict.
[06:31] Hotaru
    Maybe I can help smooth things over.
    I'll have to keep an eye on things.
[06:36] Hotaru
    By the way, Hananoi-kun, do you want
    to go to a cafe or something?
[06:43] Hotaru
    And so, now that we're officially dating,
    let's discuss our policies going forward!
[06:49] Hananoi
    Policies?
[06:51] Hotaru
    Like we discussed the other day, we each
    have what's important to us in a relationship.
[06:57] Hotaru
    So if you don't mind, can you maybe tell me
    things you wouldn't want me to do?
[07:03] Hotaru
    I may not be able to honor everything,
    but just like there are things we want to do,
[07:08] Hotaru
    it's important to be on the same page
    about what we don't want.
[07:13] Hananoi
    This is kind of sudden...
[07:16] Hananoi
    What about you?
[07:17] Hotaru
    Me?
[07:18] Hotaru
    I, well...
[07:20] Hotaru
    Um...
[07:22] Hotaru
    I dunno...
[07:25] Hananoi
    Let me think. Things I don't want you to do...
[07:32] Hananoi
    I don't want you to leave
    me behind, I guess.
[07:35] Hotaru
    Huh?
[07:37] Hananoi
    Yeah. I don't want you to leave me behind.
SIGN    We are now closed for the day.
[07:46] Kuroe
    I can finally get started
    on restocking the shelves.
[07:49] Kuroe
    Hmm?
[07:51] Kuroe
    It's already done.
[07:56] Hotaru
    Good evening—
[07:58] Hotaru
    Oh!
[07:59] Hotaru
    Wh-What's all this?
[08:02] Kuroe
    Well, we got a huge order of dictionaries
    for new elementary school students.
[08:07] Kuroe
    They have to be delivered soon, so I guess
    I'll stay late after closing to wrap them all.
[08:13] Satomura
    We'd like to help!
[08:15] Yao
    We can do them bit by bit
    during business hours.
[08:20] Kuroe
    Thanks. That'd be a huge help.
[08:23] Satomura
    Then it's settled!
[08:25] Satomura
    You guys can show off the
    wrapping skills you've practiced!
[08:28] Hotaru & Yao
    Yeah!
SIGN    We are now closed for the day.
[08:41] Kuroe
    You're kidding me. You did all
    this with just the three of you?
[08:46] Satomura
    We're experts at a quick,
     clean wrapping job now.
[08:50] Satomura
    Plus, it was the four of us!
[08:52] Satomura
    Hananoi-kun helped too!
[08:54] Kuroe
    Huh...
[08:56] Kuroe
    But Hananoi just started here.
    He hasn't learned how to wrap yet.
[09:00] Hotaru
    He said he watched other people
    doing it and practiced at home.
[09:06] Hotaru
    U-Um, Hananoi-kun is always like that!
[09:09] Hotaru
    I guess you could say he's a good student.
[09:15] Kuroe
    Good work again today.
[09:17] Kuroe
    You can call it a night.
[09:19] Hananoi
    All right.
[09:23] Kuroe
    You sure are something.
[09:26] Kuroe
    You're just a part-timer.
    Why are you putting in so much effort?
[09:31] Hananoi
    I don't care what you think of me,
[09:34] Hananoi
    but I don't want to make Hinase-san look bad.
[09:38] Kuroe
    What does that mean?
[09:40] Hananoi
    I don't think you like me very much, Manager.
[09:43] Kuroe
    Huh? Why would you say—
[09:46] Kuroe
    Oh.
[09:47] (Flashback) Kuroe
    You two are here to work, after all.
[09:51] Kuroe
    Ah...
[09:53] Kuroe
    Okay, sorry. That was my bad.
     I was out of line.
[09:59] Kuroe
    It's not like... I mean...
[10:02] Kuroe
    Supervising a regular customer
     is just awkward for me.
[10:06] Kuroe
    I wasn't sure how to treat you, I guess.
[10:10] Kuroe
    You used to shop here all the time, right?
[10:15] Kuroe
    You always bought the books I made
    displays for, so I remember you.
[10:22] Hotaru
    Boy, I sure am exhausted today!
[10:25] Hotaru
    But Manager Kuroe gave me cocoa as thanks.
[10:30] Hananoi
    He gave me a coffee.
[10:31] Hotaru
    I got it in my head that he was kind of
    scary, but he's actually nice.
[10:37] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[10:38] Hotaru
    Oh... Are you still having trouble
    getting along with him?
[10:42] Hananoi
    No, well...
[10:46] Hananoi
    Just that Kuroe-san remembers that I've been
     frequenting the store since a long time ago.
[10:51] Hananoi
    It's kind of... embarrassing.
[10:57] Hotaru
    He... He's blushing?! Hananoi-kun's blushing!
[11:02] Hotaru
    I'm glad I said I didn't mind
    working together.
[11:06] Hotaru
    Regardless of the reason,
[11:09] Hotaru
    it can't be a bad thing for Hananoi-kun
    to open himself up to new things, right?
[11:14] Hananoi
    Is something wrong?
[11:16] Hotaru
    Nope!
[11:21] Hotaru
    Oh, the bus is here.
[11:24] Hotaru
    Okay, Hananoi-kun. See you tomorrow!
[11:29] Hananoi
    I want to stay with you...
[11:31] Hananoi
    just a little longer.
[11:42] Hananoi
    I'm glad that I get to spend
     more time with you,
[11:46] Hananoi
    but I can't really touch
    you unless we're alone.
[11:49] Hotaru
    I-I guess you're right.
[12:03] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun?
[12:07] Hananoi
    I figure if we do this more,
    you'll get used to it.
[12:11] Hotaru
    What? I don't know if
     I'll ever get used to this!
[12:16] Hananoi
    It feels like ever since
    you told me you liked me,
[12:21] Hananoi
    I've been walking on air.
[12:22] Hotaru
    Me too. I've been walking
    on air this whole time.
[12:31] Hananoi
    One day,
[12:33] Hananoi
    when we finally share a real kiss,
[12:37] Hananoi
    I want you to be as elated as I will be.
[12:41] Hananoi
    So when your heart is ready for it
    and you decide you want it,
[12:46] Hananoi
    give me a signal, okay?
[12:50] Hotaru
    I can't even imagine it yet,
[12:53] Hotaru
    but if we both keep doing things
    at our own pace... that works, right?
[13:01] Hotaru
    Huh? Keigo-kun invited you
     over to his house, Kyo-chan?
[13:05] Hibiki
    Yeah. This is actually the first time.
[13:07] Hibiki
    But listen, Kei-chan says...
[13:10] Hibiki
    that his family has an absolutely
    giant golden retriever!
[13:15] Hotaru
    Whoa!
[13:18] Hotaru
    And so that's why I wanted to ask you,
    Yao-kun. Since you have a dog,
[13:23] Hotaru
    you must know a few tricks
    for befriending them.
[13:26] Yao
    Tricks, huh?
[13:29] Yao
    Oh.
[13:30] Yao
    Well, why don't you just come over?
[13:32] Satomura
    Where'd that come from?
[13:34] Yao
    I mean, won't it help to actually
     spend time with a dog?
[13:38] Yao
    You can come too, Hananoi.
[13:43] Hotaru
    Do you mind if I check with my friend first?
[13:47] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan, we haven't made it to the dog yet.
[13:50] Hibiki
    Just leave me here and go on without me!
[13:55] Hotaru
    Okay, but please make sure you come.
[13:57] Hibiki
    Mm-hmm.
[14:00] Hotaru
    Sorry to drag you along.
[14:02] Hotaru
    Are you okay with this?
    I mean, with Yao-kun and all.
[14:06] Hananoi
    It'll be fine.
[14:08] Hananoi
    But are you okay with this, Hotaru-chan?
[14:12] Hananoi
    I thought that you were avoiding Yao-kun.
[14:15] Hotaru
    Huh? Why?
[14:18] Hotaru
    Was I acting strange or something?
[14:23] Hotaru
    I wasn't trying to avoid him.
[14:26] Hotaru
    Um, Yao-kun and I go way back,
    so things are a little awkward.
[14:32] Hotaru
    But today's a special opportunity.
[14:35] Hotaru
    If it's to help Kyo-chan,
    I'll do whatever I can.
[14:40] Hibiki
    Thanks for having us... over!
[14:44] Hotaru
    We're coming in.
[14:48] Hotaru
    Oh! Is that Hotaru?
[14:50] Hibiki
    I dunno. Maybe it's just the name,
    but doesn't she kinda look like you?
[14:55] Hotaru
    Huh?
[14:55] Yao
    I know what you mean.
     They have the exact same eyebrows.
[15:01] Hibiki
    Yao-kun, weren't you Hotaru's classmate
    in elementary school?
[15:05] Yao
    Yup. Class 1 in sixth grade.
[15:07] Hibiki
    I met her in the second year of junior high.
[15:10] Yao
    I bet in middle school, Hota—
    Um, what was Hinase like then?
[15:14] Hibiki
    Hmm, she was basically the same.
[15:14] Hotaru
    Huh? What did he just call me?
[15:17] Hibiki
    She was a little quieter back then.
    Like she kept her guard up, I guess?
[15:21] Hotaru
    Huh?
[15:22] Hibiki
    Yeah, I was real shocked when I heard
    you used to have guy friends like Yao-kun!
[15:26] Hotaru
    K-Kyo-chan, that's ancient history.
[15:29] Yao
    She was quiet in elementary school too.
[15:32] Yao
    But y'know, Hinase was so pure. If anyone
    was in trouble, she'd always try to help.
[15:37] Yao
    You were such a sweetheart.
[15:39] Hibiki
    So she's always been like that, huh?
[15:41] Hotaru
    Yeah, no, I'm nothing that special.
[15:45] Yao
    Hey, I know. I've still got our yearbook—
[15:48] Hananoi
    Didn't we come to play with the dog?
[15:51] Yao
    You're right. Sorry, sorry.
[15:55] Yao
    Hotaru, these people are my friends.
[16:00] Hibiki
    C-Come here, Hotaru!
[16:07] Yao
    Don't startle her. Just try to be gentle.
[16:11] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan! I'll try going first.
[16:15] Yao
    Up we go.
[16:26] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan!
[16:27] Hotaru
    See? It's okay!
[16:34] Hibiki
    It's Hotaru, it's Hotaru,
    it's Hotaru, it's Hotaru!
[16:37] Hotaru
    You mean me?
[16:48] Hibiki
    Th-This might actually be okay.
[16:51] Yao
    Right?
[16:52] Yao
    Hananoi, why don't you
    come pet Hotaru too?
[16:57] Hananoi
    I'm good.
[16:59] Yao
    C'mon, don't be like that.
[17:12] Hananoi
    There, there.
[17:14] Hananoi
    You're a good girl, Hotaru.
[17:20] Hibiki
    I feel like I'm watching
    something I shouldn't be.
[17:30] Hibiki
    Hey, I think I'm getting used to this.
[17:33] Hotaru
    Really? I'm so glad.
[17:35] Hotaru
    We can thank Yao-kun for that.
[17:38] Hibiki
    Yup.
[17:41] Hibiki
    You too, Hotaru. Thanks.
[17:47] Yao
    All this for a friend, huh?
[17:49] Yao
    Hinase really is a good person.
[17:53] Hananoi
    "Hinase"?
[17:55] Yao
    Huh?
[17:56] Yao
    You're the one who told me
    not to call her Hotako.
[17:59] Yao
    I mean, she's asked me that before, too.
[18:04] Yao
    She's so nice, but she hates me.
     I wonder what I did wrong.
[18:10] Yao
    She say anything to you?
[18:14] Hananoi
    I don't know anything.
[18:15] Yao
    Oh, okay.
[18:16] Yao
    Say, you know what? I feel like I've heard
    the name Hananoi somewhere before.
[18:21] Yao
    Have we meet before or something?
[18:31] Hananoi
    Who knows?
[18:35] Hotaru
    It looked like Kyo-chan was able
    to get over her fear a little. I'm so glad.
[18:41] Hananoi
    You do seem happy.
[18:42] Hotaru
    Yeah!
[18:43] Hotaru
    Kyo-chan was thrilled, so I am too.
[18:46] Hotaru
    I've got to find a way to thank Yao-kun.
[18:49] Hananoi
    I'm a little jealous.
[18:51] Hotaru
    Huh?
[18:52] Hananoi
    You really went out of your way for Asami-san.
[18:57] Hananoi
    She must be over the moon.
[18:59] Hotaru
    I-It was no big deal.
[19:01] Hananoi
    You don't think so? Most people wouldn't
    go so far to help a friend.
[19:08] Hotaru
    I mean, honestly, she's always been
    the one helping me out.
[19:15] Hotaru
    Didn't Kyo-chan mention it?
    I was pretty gloomy in middle school.
[19:21] Hotaru
    After what happened in elementary school,
    I was too scared to make friends.
[19:27] Hotaru
    I tried to keep to myself.
[19:33] Hotaru
    That's when I met Kyo-chan.
[19:38] Hotaru
    I was actually a little scared to hang out
    with someone who was so open about love.
[19:49] Hotaru
    But for whatever reason,
     I had so much fun when I was with her.
[19:55] Hotaru
    After a while, even though I
    still didn't understand it,
[19:59] Hotaru
    the idea of falling head over heels in love
    started to sound so nice.
[20:11] Hotaru
    If it weren't for Kyo-chan, I might never
    have wanted to try falling in love myself.
[20:21] Hotaru
    I'm never much help when we have girl talk,
[20:24] Hotaru
    so I'm really glad I was
    able to help her today!
[20:28] Hotaru
    Thank you for everything
     today too, Hananoi-kun.
[20:33] Hananoi
    Right...
[20:35] Hananoi
    So it was Asami-san who was there
    for Hotaru-chan when she was at her lowest.
[20:42] Hananoi
    I can't really compete with that.
[20:47] Hotaru
    Anyway, Hotaru sure was a cutey.
[20:50] Hotaru
    Oh! I-I mean the dog!
[20:54] Hotaru
    Everyone was all "Hotaru this, Hotaru that"
     today. It started to feel weird.
[20:59] Hotaru
    Like when you...
[21:01] Hotaru
    Er, forget I said that!
[21:09] Hananoi
    There, there. To me, you'll always be
    the best girl, Hotaru-chan.
[21:16] Hotaru
    Th-That's not what I meant!
[21:20] Hananoi
    Now you're blushing!

SIGN    April Only
[00:08] Hotaru
    Oh, yummy!
[00:10] Hotaru
    Springtime means cherry blossom sweets!
[00:17] Hotaru
    What do you want to do
    for your birthday next week, Hananoi-kun?
[00:21] Hotaru
    It's the perfect time to go see the cherry
    blossoms. How does that sound?
[00:24] Hananoi
    That sounds great! Are there any
    good viewing spots around here?
[00:30] Hananoi
    Oh, this place might be nice.
[00:32] Hananoi
    It's kinda far, but it should
    be walkable from here.
SIGN    Recommended!
SIGN    A hidden spot that even few locals know about.
    It is somewhat far from the station, but that means
    there aren't many tourists and you can relax and
    enjoy flower viewing. Definitely worth a visit to see
    the cherry blossoms floating in the river.
SIGN    From exit 2 of the station, it's basically
    a straight shot. It takes about 13 minutes
    walking, but that'll give you a chance
    to enjoy the scenery along the way.
[00:36] Hotaru
    Wow, that's so pretty!
[00:39] Hotaru
    Let's go there!
[00:45] Hotaru
    I guess I could... try making
    a picnic lunch or something.
[00:49] Hananoi
    R-Really?
[00:51] Hotaru
    D-Don't expect too much, though.
[00:53] Hananoi
    I'm so happy!
[00:55] Hananoi
    I can't wait!

SIGN    His First Birthday
[02:35] Hananoi
    Hello? Grandma?
[02:38] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[02:41] Hananoi
    Yeah, I'm okay.
[02:43] Hananoi
    I still have some meals left, so don't worry.
[02:46] Grandma
    Listen... I received a letter from Chizuru.
[02:50] Hananoi
    Oh, I got one too.
[02:53] Hananoi
    Mom and Dad say they aren't
    coming home this spring.
[02:57] Grandma
    Gracious. Do they even care
    about their son's birthday?
[03:03] Grandma
    So, what are you doing on the 6th?
[03:05] Grandma
    If you don't have any plans, want to
    come over? I'll cook you up a feast.
[03:10] Hananoi
    That's okay.
[03:11] Hananoi
    I'm planning to spend the day
     with my girlfriend.
[03:13] Grandma
    Oh, is that right?
    Well, I suppose that's fine, then.
[03:18] Grandma
    I know it's your birthday,
    but don't get too carried away, okay?
[03:21] Grandma
    You'd better be sure to send
    her home at an early hour!
[03:24] Grandma
    And it still gets cold at night,
    so wear something warm—
SIGN    Hinase Hotaru
SIGN    The weekly forecast says
    the 6th should be sunny!
    I'm so glad!
[03:35] Hananoi
    I've never been so excited about a
    birthday before. This is a first for me.
SIGN    Hananoi
SIGN    Thanks for today
SIGN    The scones were delicious!
SIGN    The weekly forecast says
    the 6th should be sunny!
    I'm so glad!
SIGN    The sakura trees should be
    in full bloom too. I can't wait.
[03:48] Hananoi
    Hmm.
[03:50] Hananoi
    A present, a picnic lunch...
[03:53] Hananoi
    I wonder if there's anything else I can do.
[03:56] Hananoi
    It's the perfect opportunity. I want to do
    something to make him super happy.
[04:02] (Flashback) Hananoi
    One day,
[04:05] (Flashback) Hananoi
    when we finally share a real kiss,
[04:09] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I want you to be as elated as I will be.
[04:12] (Flashback) Hananoi
    So when your heart is ready for it
    and you decide you want it,
[04:19] (Flashback) Hananoi
    give me a signal, okay?
[04:22] Hotaru
    A signal...
[04:24] Hotaru
    No, wait! He was saying I should think
    about it without feeling pressured, right?
[04:31] Hotaru
    But still, if he asks me if
    I want to kiss him again...
[04:36] Hotaru
    I'm not sure I get it.
[04:39] Hotaru
    When he kissed my forehead,
    I felt more embarrassed than anything.
[04:45] Hotaru
    What makes people want
    to kiss in the first place?
[04:50] Hotaru
    So, considering the situation,
[04:52] Hotaru
    what wisdom might you be able
    to share with me, Big Sis?
[04:56] Kagari
    Why does this kid keep coming
    to me for advice like that?
[05:01] Hotaru
    I'm sorry to bother you.
[05:03] Hotaru
    But I'm way too embarrassed
    to ask my friends.
[05:10] Kagari
    Oh, kissing? Yeah, that's easy. Listen up.
[05:15] Kagari
    When you like someone, you want
    to be close to them, right?
[05:19] Kagari
    It's the next step from that.
[05:22] Hotaru
    I see.
[05:24] Kagari
    I think.
[05:25] Kagari
    Not that I'd know.
[05:29] Hotaru
    So a kiss is the next step up
    from wanting to touch him?
[05:32] Mom
    Oh, Hotaru.
[05:34] Mom
    Remember the memorial service we've been
    planning for Grandpa? It'll be on the 6th.
[05:39] Hotaru
    Yeah? I guess it is that time of year.
[05:43] Hotaru
    Oh, wait. Do you mean April 6th?
[05:46] Mom
    Yup.
[05:49] Hotaru
    Sorry! Wh-What should we do?
    I thought I was free!
[05:54] Hananoi
    Hmm, well, you've got the memorial service.
[05:58] Hananoi
    You probably won't be in the
    mood to celebrate anyway.
[06:01] Hananoi
    Let's do it another day.
[06:03] Hotaru
    But I don't have any other days off when the
     cherry blossoms will still be in bloom.
[06:08] Hotaru
    And school's starting soon.
[06:10] Hananoi
    It's okay.
[06:12] Hananoi
    As long as we can celebrate
    together, Hotaru-chan,
[06:14] Hananoi
    the time and place don't matter.
    I'm still going to be happy.
[06:22] Mom
    Well, Hotaru, you didn't know Grandpa
    that well. You don't have to go.
[06:30] Hotaru
    No. I'll go.
[06:32] Mom
    Are you sure?

[07:05] Hananoi
    Okay.
[07:06] Hananoi
    What'll I do today?
[07:15] Hananoi
    I've pretty much finished up here.
[07:19] Hananoi
    I guess I'll go check it out by myself.
[07:27] Hananoi
    Maybe I can bring her here next year.
[07:31] girl
    Wow, that looks good!
SIGN    Takoyaki
[07:31] Hananoi
    I didn't know they had food stands.
[07:33] Boy
    Well, this one is on me.
[07:35] Girl
    Thank you! I was craving some takoyaki.
[07:38] Boy
    Really? It's your lucky day.
[07:50] Hananoi
    There aren't many people
    over here by the river.
[08:09] Tomori
    Ah, it's finally over!
[08:12] Mom
    Watch it, Tomo!
[08:14] Hotaru
    It took two hours to get here by train.
[08:18] Hotaru
    If we leave before it gets dark, I might
    still have a little time to see him.
[08:23] Hotaru
    U-Um, Mom?
[08:25] Mom
    Hmm?
[08:26] Hotaru
    What's next?
[08:28] Mom
    Next, the plan is to go to
    a hotel for dinner with everyone.
[08:34] Hotaru
    It's guaranteed to be night
    before we get back!
[08:39] Kagari
    What's got you so anxious, Hotaru?
[08:42] Hotaru
    Well, to tell you the truth...
    today is my boyfriend's birthday.
[08:48] Kagari
    Then why not leave already?
[08:50] Hotaru
    Huh?
[08:51] Kagari
    You're in high school.
     You can find your way back, right?
[08:55] Hotaru
    B-But...
[08:57] Kagari
    It'll just be adults blabbing after this.
[09:00] Kagari
    There's no reason the kids have to be there.
[09:03] Kagari
    I'll make up some excuse to tell Dad.
[09:08] Hotaru
    Is that really okay?
[09:12] Kagari
    You know, you've seemed a lot
    happier lately, Hotaru.
[09:16] Kagari
    Tomo and I are so loud,
     it always felt like you were holding back.
[09:22] Kagari
    But you should be able to do
    what you want, too.
[09:27] Kagari
    Grandpa wouldn't want to see you sad,
    either. Don't you think you should go?
[09:35] Hotaru
    I mean, it's his birthday.
    You only get your day once a year.
[09:43] Hotaru
    I feel like those twenty-four hours
    should be totally dedicated to you.
[09:48] Hotaru
    It should be a super special time for him.
[09:52] Hotaru
    And... I'm only just now realizing that.
[09:55] Kagari
    Yeah, I bet.
[09:58] Kagari
    If you make it a special day,
    I'm sure he'll love that.
[10:09] Hotaru
    Sis! I... I really have to go today!
[10:15] Kagari
    Roger that.
[10:17] Kagari
    Leave things here to me.
[10:20] Hotaru
    Sis, you really are the best!
[10:29] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Happy birthday, Hotaru-chan.
[10:33] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I hope today turned out
     to be special for you.
[10:41] (Flashback) Hananoi
    But it had to be today. I wanted you to know
[10:47] (Flashback) Hananoi
    that today is the most
    special day in the world.
[10:58] Hotaru
    Me too!
[11:11] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[11:23] Hananoi
    Hello.
[11:24] Keigo
    Hey, Hananoi? It's me, Kurata!
[11:33] Hananoi
    How the hell did you get my number?
[11:36] Keigo
    Oh, come on! You forgot already?
[11:38] Keigo
    I asked you to call me
     when I lost my phone in class!
[11:42] Hananoi
    You forced me to.
[11:43] Keigo
    You saved my butt, man!
[11:45] Hananoi
    And then you secretly saved my number?
[11:47] Keigo
    No big deal.
[11:48] Keigo
    Actually, I wanted to ask you something
    about our spring break homework.
[11:52] Keigo
    Oh, also, I heard from Hibiki.
    Isn't today your birthday?
[11:56] Keigo
    Happy birthday, man!
[11:57] Keigo
    And let me guess.
[11:58] Keigo
    Are you hanging with Hinase-san?
[12:02] Hananoi
    No, I'm not.
[12:03] Keigo
    Wait, what? No way! That's so sad!
[12:05] Hananoi
    Dude, would you lay off it?
[12:09] Keigo
    What? But this is your first birthday
    with her. That's gotta hurt.
[12:13] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan had something else going on.
[12:16] Hananoi
    If we can celebrate some other
    time, that's good enough.
[12:19] Keigo
    Wow, maybe you are a good guy.
[12:23] Keigo
    You always come off so possessive,
[12:25] Keigo
    but I guess you know when to back off.
    I underestimated you!
[12:29] Hananoi
    I'm hanging up.
[12:30] Keigo
    Hey, wait! The homework!
[12:35] Hananoi
    What part of me is a "good guy"?
[12:45] boy
    Oh, a butterfly!
[12:48] mom
    You're right! It sure is pretty.
[12:50] boy
    Yeah!
SIGN    How have you
SIGN    Are you doing
SIGN    Is Grandma
[14:25] mom
    It's time to go!
[14:26] boy
    Okay!
[14:37] Hananoi
    I've been trying to find
[14:39] Hananoi
    someone who needs me.
    More than family, more than a friend.
[14:44] Hananoi
    I was looking for someone who
    would always put me first.
[14:49] Hananoi
    I would've done anything
    for someone like that.
[14:53] Hananoi
    But even when I give all my love to people,
    they never put me first.
[15:02] Hananoi
    And if I can't be their number one,
    then what's the point?
[15:07] Hananoi
    That's all I ever think about.
    How does that make me a "good guy"?
[15:19] Hananoi
    Still, I don't know why,
[15:28] Hananoi
    but when I'm with Hotaru-chan,
[15:31] Hananoi
    there are moments when I stop
    caring about being number one.
[15:35] Hananoi
    Her smile is enough for me.
    That alone makes me feel complete.
[15:49] Hananoi
    I want you to keep smiling.
[15:52] Hananoi
    Don't look at anyone else.
[15:56] Hananoi
    I don't want you to hate me.
[15:59] Hananoi
    Don't leave me.
[16:04] Hananoi
    My feelings... I'm a mess.

SIGN    Hananoi-kun, where are you?
[16:19] Hotaru
    H-He isn't here.
[16:26] Hotaru
    I couldn't get him on the phone
    either. Where could he be?
[16:31] Hotaru
    Weird. It's usually the other way around.
[16:35] Hotaru
    It's always Hananoi-kun
    who comes running to look for me.
[16:43] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I don't want you to leave me behind.

SIGN    Hananoi-kun,
    where are you?
SIGN    I'm at home

[17:29] Hotaru
    I won't leave you behind.
[17:31] Hotaru
    I won't leave you behind!
SIGN    Hananoi-kun,
    where are you?

[17:48] Hananoi
    How...?
[18:04] Hotaru
    Oh!
[18:16] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun!
[18:33] Hananoi
    How?
[18:40] Hananoi
    Ow... ow, ow.
[18:42] Hotaru
    S-Sorry!
[18:44] Hotaru
    But I found you!
[18:52] Hananoi
    A-Are you okay?! Are you hurt?
    Did you hit anything?
[18:56] Hotaru
    No, I'm okay! You caught me, Hananoi-kun.
[19:04] Hananoi
    But, Hotaru-chan, the memorial service...
[19:07] Hotaru
    I snuck out partway through.
[19:09] Hananoi
    Huh?
[19:10] Hotaru
    Um, I realized it had to be today.
[19:19] Hotaru
    Happy birthday, Hananoi-kun!
[19:27] Hotaru
    You always make me so happy. Thank you!
[19:34] Hananoi
    How is it that you're always...
[19:39] Hananoi
    like this?
[19:45] Hananoi
    I love you so much!
    I want to be your number one.
[19:50] Hananoi
    But... you don't have to put me first.
[19:54] Hananoi
    As long as you stay with me forever...
[20:00] Hananoi
    Thank you, Hotaru-chan.
[20:07] Hananoi
    That's all I need.
[20:17] Hotaru
    The cherry blossoms sure are pretty.
[20:19] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[20:21] Hananoi
    There's hardly any point
    in seeing them alone.
[20:27] Hotaru
    Hey, Hananoi-kun, I can tell
    you're trying to act normal,
[20:30] Hotaru
    but was today really hard for you?
[20:32] Hananoi
    Uh...
[20:34] Hotaru
    I mean, it'd be a little difficult for me
     to stay with you all of the time,
[20:40] Hotaru
    but whenever you aren't doing okay,
    I definitely want to be with you.
[20:46] Hotaru
    If you ever feel like that,
     just call me, okay?
[20:50] Hotaru
    Promise me.
[21:01] Hananoi
    Will I really be able to
    keep a smile on her face going forward?
[21:15] Hotaru
    Wow!
[21:17] Hotaru
    It's a cherry blossom blizzard!
[21:21] Hananoi
    Can a guy like me be with Hotaru-chan?
    Is that even allowed?
[21:30] Hananoi
    No, I can do this.
[21:35] Hananoi
    I'm not the boy who couldn't
    do anything for her anymore.
[21:50] Hananoi
    From now on,
[21:52] Hananoi
    I won't run away, no matter what.
[21:56] Hananoi
    I'll stay and protect this
    girl from whatever happens.
[22:03] Hananoi
    I want to be your soulmate.

    of us could eat together!
[04:40] Hotaru
    But I doubt Hananoi-kun would go for that...
[04:46] Hananoi
    Shibamura-san,
    why don't you just eat with us?
[04:49] Hotaru
    Huh? D-Do you mean it?
[04:55] Hotaru
    Um, but it won't be just for today.
[05:00] Hananoi
    That's okay.
[05:01] Hananoi
    I've decided I can live with it.
[05:04] Hotaru
    Oh...
[05:06] Hotaru
    Okay, then let's find some other time
    for just the two of us later on!
[05:11] Hananoi
    Sure.
[05:14] Hotaru
    Oh! I forgot to get a drink!
    Sorry, I'll be right back!
[05:25] Tsukiha
    Listen, I'm really sorry to impose like this.
[05:30] Hananoi
    It's fine.
[05:33] Tsukiha
    Um, Hananoi-san, what do you do for lunch
    when you don't eat with Hotaru-chan?
[05:40] Hananoi
    I find somewhere to eat alone.
[05:43] Tsukiha
    Ah. Eating alone is easiest, isn't it?
[05:47] Tsukiha
    But I guess everyone else hates it.
[05:49] Tsukiha
    You really didn't need
    to make a fuss about me, Hotaru.
[05:54] Hananoi
    Yeah, I guess it is easier.
[05:57] Hananoi
    Though I like eating with Hotaru-chan more.
[06:01] Hananoi
    What about you, Shibamura-san?
[06:03] Tsukiha
    Well, I guess the same goes for me.
[06:09] Hananoi
    Then you don't have to
    feel so bad about this.
[06:15] Hotaru
    Hey, you two! Thanks for waiting!
[06:19] Hotaru
    Chow time!
[06:21] Hotaru
    Hamburg steak!
[06:23] Hotaru
    But I really should save
    the main dish for last!
[06:27] Hotaru
    Yum!
[06:30] Hananoi
    Ah, this is so fun.
[06:32] Tsukiha
    It really is, isn't it?
[06:34] Hotaru
    Th-They agree on something?
[06:40] Tsukiha
    Okay, should we start heading back?
[06:43] Hananoi
    Sorry, but we need a minute.
[06:46] Hananoi
    Why don't you go on, Shibamura-san?
[06:48] Tsukiha
    Sure. Take your time.
[06:53] Hotaru
    What's up?
[07:00] Hananoi
    I'm thinking...
[07:02] Hananoi
    I won't get a chance
    to hold you like this for a while.
[07:06] Hananoi
    I'm recharging.
[07:07] Hotaru
    I-I see.
[07:14] Hotaru
    Oh, right! Um, was lunch today okay with you?
[07:19] Hotaru
    If you really didn't like it, please tell me.
[07:23] Hananoi
    You don't need to worry about that.
[07:26] Hananoi
    I'm sure that past me would've
     hated a situation like today's.
[07:33] Hananoi
    But I can tell that you really
    care about me. It shows.
[07:41] Hananoi
    So I'm just getting my fill of you
    to last me for a while.
[07:49] Hananoi
    I guess we should go back.
[07:52] Hotaru
    Huh?
[07:58] Hananoi
    Sorry. I need another ten seconds after all.
[08:08] Hotaru
    S-So, what did you think of lunch?
[08:11] Tsukiha
    I thought it was pretty fun.
[08:13] Tsukiha
    That's the most I've ever talked
    with Hananoi-san.
[08:17] Tsukiha
    He said that he likes eating with you
     more than eating alone.
[08:23] Tsukiha
    That really stuck with me.
[08:25] Tsukiha
    Seems like you two are
    really hitting it off. I'm glad.
[08:30] Hananoi
    I'm sure that past me would've
    hated a situation like today's.
[08:39] Hotaru
    I wonder if I can talk to him about it now.
[08:44] Hotaru
    It's something I've been thinking about
    but haven't had courage to bring up.
[08:50] Hananoi
    Friends, huh? I don't think I need any.
[08:54] Hotaru
    It seems like Hananoi-kun cares
    a lot about his alone time.
[08:59] Hotaru
    So this never felt like something
    I should push him on.
[09:03] Hotaru
    But things might not always be that way.
[09:08] Hotaru
    It's like something, bit by bit,
[09:13] Hotaru
    is changing inside him.
[09:17] Hibiki
    I can't take it anymore!
[09:19] Hibiki
    I've tried my hardest for two weeks,
    but enough is enough!
[09:24] Hibiki
    As long as we get along,
    we'll be friends eventually!
[09:27] Hotaru
    I'm so glad we're all eating together again!
[09:30] Tsukiha
    Things are more exciting with Hibiki around.
[09:33] Hibiki
    Yeah, but you know,
    now that I'm in class with Hananoi-kun,
[09:36] Hibiki
    it's so obvious how he goes
     out of his way to be alone.
[09:41] Hibiki
    When I saw how he keeps to himself,
    I kind of threw my hands up.
[09:46] Hotaru
    Um, actually, I wanted to ask
    you two for advice about that.
[09:53] Hananoi
    Oh, yeah?
[09:54] Hananoi
    Things are back to normal, huh?
     You must be happy.
[09:58] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[10:00] Hotaru
    S-So after this, I mean from now on,
[10:05] Hotaru
    if it's okay with you, will you eat
     lunch with us, Hananoi-kun?
[10:11] Hananoi
    Um, but that sounds...
[10:14] Hotaru
    Oh! We can still have days
    when it's just the two of us.
[10:18] Hotaru
    I mean the rest of the week.
[10:20] Hotaru
    If you'd rather eat alone,
    we can just keep things the way they were.
[10:24] Hotaru
    But these past two weeks, you've been
    talking like normal with Shibamu,
[10:28] Hotaru
    so as long as it would be
    okay with you...
[10:36] Hananoi
    If anything, I wonder, would it be okay with you?
[10:40] Hananoi
    You've finally got some girl time together.
[10:42] Hotaru
    I don't mind at all!
[10:45] Hotaru
    But I'm sorry. I don't exactly know
     how things are going to go.
[10:49] Hotaru
    I think it would be fun to hang out together,
[10:53] Hotaru
    but there's a chance it may not go over well.
[10:57] Hotaru
    But still...
[11:02] Hotaru
    I want to try it, and then we can decide
    what's the most fun for us, Hananoi-kun!
[11:12] Hananoi
    All right. I'll think about it.
[11:18] Hotaru
    Okay!
[11:20] Hotaru
    Trying something new can be
    scary and confusing at times,
[11:26] Hotaru
    but if it can make
    the people I care about happy,
[11:31] Hotaru
    I want to do my part.
[11:34] Hotaru
    Yeah. Change isn't always a bad thing.
[11:39] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun is the one who taught me that.
[11:45] Hibiki
    It's so warm today!
    Eating outside was the right move.
SIGN    Strawberry Milk
[11:49] Keigo
    But man, Hananoi, is that all you got?
[11:51] Keigo
    All right, all right. Want some of mine?
[11:54] Hananoi
    No way.
[11:55] Hotaru
    Then how about mine? I made extra today.
[11:59] Keigo
    Wow, that looks so good!
[12:01] Hotaru
    You guys too, if you want.
[12:02] Hibiki
    Huh. It's unusual for you to cook.
[12:06] Hotaru
    Well, to tell you the truth,
    I was practicing cooking for Saki-kun,
[12:11] Hotaru
    but since it was just practice,
    my mom did most of the work.
[12:15] Tsukiha
    Hmm? Who the heck is Saki?
[12:25] Hananoi
    No way... What?!
[12:27] Keigo
    Hey, what's Hananoi's first name again?
[12:30] Hananoi
    Would you shut up a minute?
[12:33] Hotaru
    Yeah, I knew that would
    embarrass him! I'm so sorry!
[12:39] Yao
    It was the day Hotaru had to go
    to the vet for surgery...
[12:48] (Flashback) Hotaru
    U-Um, is that you over there, Yao-kun?
[12:54] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wh-What's wrong?! Are you okay?
     Should I get someone?
[12:57] Yao
    Don't tell anyone!
[12:58] (Flashback) Hotaru
    O-Okay.
[13:00] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Sohei-kun! Where are you?
[13:04] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Non-chan!
[13:06] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Hotaru-chan.
[13:07] Yao
    Hotaru?
[13:08] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Have you seen Sohei-kun?
[13:10] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I-I don't think he's over here.
[13:13] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Okay. Sohei-kun!
[13:19] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Everyone's looking for you, Yao-kun.
[13:22] (Flashback) Hotaru
    It might be better to hide
    somewhere farther away.
[13:26] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Well, I'd better go.
[13:31] (Flashback) Yao
    Wait, Hotaru!
[13:35] Yao
    That was how I became friends with Hotako.
[13:39] Yao
    She shared the name
    of a precious family member.
[13:43] Yao
    She was kind.
[13:45] Yao
    And she was always true to herself.
[13:47] Yao
    Whenever I was with her, I felt so relaxed.
[13:51] Yao
    She's the kind of person
    you just want to see happy.
[14:03] Yao
    Someday, somewhere...
[14:11] Yao
    I hope you find someone
[14:13] Yao
    who makes you happy.

    No thanks.

[14:43] Yao
    Man, he sure doesn't pull any punches.
[14:47] Yao
    Oh...
[14:49] Yao
    Sorry. I didn't mean to spy on you.
[14:54] Yao
    Do you get asked out a lot by random girls?
[14:58] Hananoi
    Huh?
[14:59] Hananoi
    Is that any of your business?
[15:01] Yao
    Well, no. I was just thinking how
    tough that must be for Hinase.
[15:06] Yao
    She used to be so easygoing
    in elementary school.
[15:10] Yao
    I guess I just worry about her.
[15:13] Yao
    Oh, speaking of which, didn't you
    guys know each other before too?
[15:21] Yao
    The other day, when I was
    flipping through my yearbook,
[15:24] Yao
    I saw a guy with your name in class 5.
[15:27] Yao
    Then I remembered we had a
    transfer student in sixth grade.
[15:32] Yao
    Why didn't you say anything?
     Hinase doesn't realize it either, does she?
[15:38] Hananoi
    I don't see any point in telling her
    if she doesn't remember.
[15:42] Hananoi
    I don't particularly care
    for who I was back then.

    Oh... okay.
[15:48] Yao
    But still, isn't that something you should...
[15:53] Hananoi
    If you want to tell her, go ahead.
[16:00] Yao
    Yeah, I really can't figure him out.
[16:03] Yao
    He seems to put up a wall
    with everyone, but...
[16:07] Kuroe
    Oh? What's that?
[16:11] Hananoi
    It was a birthday gift from Hinase-san.
[16:16] Yao
    Maybe he isn't such a bad guy after all.
[16:20] Yao
    Should I just drop it and not do anything?
[16:26] Yao's friend
    Hananoi?
[16:27] Yao's friend
    Oh, yeah! The transfer kid who wore glasses?
[16:30] Yao
    You ever hear anything about him being
    friends with that Hinase girl from my class?
[16:35] Yao's friend
    You mean Hotako-chan?
    The nerdy girl you went out with?
[16:39] Yao
    Huh?!
[16:41] Yao's friend
    People were spreading rumors, man.
    Someone said they saw you two alone.
[16:45] Yao
    We were only talking about my dog!
[16:47] Yao's friend
    Yeah, well, you were at least friends, right?
[16:50] Yao
    Who knows?
[16:53] Yao
    She told me she didn't
    think we were that close.
[16:58] Yao
    And now we talk all the time,
    but whenever I get close, she backs off.
[17:04] Yao
    She acts kinda cold, you know?
    Maybe she hates me. I don't get it.
[17:11] Yao's friend
    Wow, I never hear you
    complain like this, Sohei.
[17:13] Yao
    Oh.
[17:19] Yao
    Was I complaining?

    What the hell am I doing?

    Hotako. Hotako!
[17:32] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yao-kun, why do you always call me Hotako?
[17:36] (Flashback) Yao
    Don't you wanna call your friends
    by their name or nickname?
[17:40] (Flashback) Hotaru
    F-Friends?
[17:44] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I guess we are friends!
[17:48] Yao
    Thank you very much for calling.
[17:50] Yao
    Yes. A picture book with animals?
[17:54] Yao
    Hmm. Animals, animals...
[18:03] Hotaru
    Yao-kun? Are you okay? Is something wrong?
[18:09] Hotaru
    What?! What happened?
[18:14] Yao
    Sorry, I know I'm at work.
[18:16] Hotaru
    Wh-Why don't you go in the back for now?
[18:19] Yao
    No, I'm good! I'll be fine.
[18:22] Marika
    Ah! There you are, Yao!
[18:25] Marika
    I was in the neighborhood,
    so I thought I'd stop by.
[18:28] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, but that's not Yao-kun!
[18:31] Marika
    Huh? That's totally Yao.
[18:33] Hotaru
    I'm very sorry! Would you mind
    seeing him some other time?
[18:38] Marika
    What's this about?
     Who are you to him anyway?
[18:42] Hotaru
    I-I'm his friend!
[18:46] Marika
    Well, I'm his friend too!
[18:52] Yao
    I'm working right now.
[18:57] Yao
    Sorry, okay?
[19:02] Hotaru
    Well? Are you better now?
[19:04] Yao
    Uh, yeah.
[19:09] Yao
    Hotako, I'm real sorry about before.
[19:11] Hotaru
    No, I shouldn't have done that.
[19:17] Hotaru
    That name...
[19:18] Yao
    Huh?
[19:19] Hotaru
    You've gone back to calling me Hotako.
[19:22] Yao
    Oh, sorry!
[19:24] Hotaru
    No, it's okay! I think I've started
    to understand how you feel.
[19:31] Hotaru
    It's hard to change what
    you've always called someone.
[19:36] Hotaru
    It feels really weird and makes
    you so nervous every time.
[19:43] Hotaru
    When he said I could take my time,
     it was such a relief.
[19:47] Yao
    So... do you mean I can
    keep calling you Hotako?
[19:53] Hotaru
    I guess I mean to make the switch
    when it feels right to you.
[19:58] Yao
    Okay. That's a relief.
[20:03] Hotaru
    You sure never change, Yao-kun.
[20:05] Yao
    Huh?
[20:07] Hotaru
    You've always been sentimental about dogs.
[20:11] Yao
    Well, you don't change either, Hotako!
[20:13] Yao
    You've always been a terrible liar.
[20:15] Hotaru
    Huh?
[20:17] Yao
    Oh... This feeling.
[20:20] Yao
    It's been so long.
    It feels like I'm floating.
[20:25] Yao
    When we laugh together,
    it's like a weight off my shoulders.
[20:28] Yao
    I used to really love those moments.
[20:40] Yao
    Um, listen. I don't mean
    anything weird by this, but...
[20:45] Yao
    Hotako, do you like me? Or dislike me?
[20:51] Hotaru
    Uh...
[20:55] Hotaru
    I...
[20:57] Hotaru
    I respect you!
[21:00] Yao
    R-Respect?
[21:02] Hotaru
    Yeah! Since before. I always have!
[21:06] Yao
    Really? You respect me, huh?
[21:11] Yao
    That's sort of flattering.
[21:15] Yao
    Why do I feel like this?
[21:19] Yao
    Hey, you said you wanted to find a way
     to thank me after you guys came over to my house.
[21:24] Hotaru
    Yeah, I did.
[21:25] Yao
    Listen, Hotako...
[21:30] Yao
    I want to talk to you a lot more.
[21:39] Yao
    So, I was thinking, why don't
    we all go somewhere again?
[21:43] Hotaru
    Huh?
[23:17] Hananoi
    A get-together?
[23:18] Yao
    Yeah.
[23:20] Yao
    I'm not trying to get you
    to like me or nanything.
[23:23] Yao
    but can't we just talk like normal people?
[23:26] Yao
    I mean, she's probably worried about us too.
[23:30] Yao
    Do you really wanna keep putting
    your girlfriend through that?

    I haven't hung out with anyone

[02:42] Satomura
    To tell you the truth, I haven't made
    a lot of friends in college.
[02:48] Satomura
    People get creeped out when I bring up
    my hobbies, so I'm never sure what to talk about.
[02:54] Satomura

[03:00] Satomura

    Oh, don't say that.

    Besides, I need to talk to you
     about something.
[03:41] Hananoi
    We're playing ping-pong at an arcade?
[03:44] Yao
    Just one game.
[03:46] Yao
    If I win, you have to tell
    Hotako all about your past.

    forced me to come today.

    Whenever Hotako's not around,
    you act like a total jerk towards me.
[04:09] Yao
    Aren't you worried I might
    tell her about that?
[04:13] Yao
    Or do you actually want me to?
[04:15] Yao
    And "I can tell her if I want"?
    Don't try to put that on me.
[04:19] Yao
    She wouldn't want to hear something
    so important about you from someone else.

    No way! I've never gone to an arcade
    with friends before. This is super fun.
[04:43] Girl A
    Hey, two really hot guys are
    playing ping-pong together!
[04:47] Girl B
    Let's go watch.
[04:48] Girl A
    Yeah!
[04:49] Hotaru & Satomura
    Huh?
[04:59] Yao
    You're pretty good!
[05:00] Yao
    Wanna play with Hotako
    and Satomi after this?
[05:03] Hananoi
    You're still saying "Hotako this,
     Hotako that." Shut the hell up.
[05:07] Yao
    Whoa!
[05:10] Hananoi
    Didn't she tell you
    to stop calling her that?
[05:16] Yao
    She said I could take my time
    making the switch.
[05:18] Yao
    That she knows how hard it is
    to start calling someone a different name.
[05:25] Yao
    Yes!
[05:28] Hananoi
    Why the hell are you always sticking
    your nose into everything?
[05:33] Yao
    Yeah, I can see why it
    might bother you. Sorry.
[05:37] Yao
    But I've been friends with
    Hotako for a long time.
[05:41] Yao
    I just don't want to see
    her get hurt, you know?
[05:45] Hananoi
    You don't want to see her get hurt, huh?
[05:49] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun? Yao-kun?
[05:52] Yao
    Hotako... Oh!
[05:56] Hananoi
    Game over. I win.
[05:58] Yao
    Hey! That wasn't fair at all.
[06:02] Hananoi
    You don't want to see her hurt?
[06:05] Hananoi
    You're the last person I
    want to hear that from.
[06:09] Satomura
    Were you guys competing?
    I wish I could've seen it!
[06:15] Satomura
    All right, we have to get to work soon.
[06:18] Hotaru
    Have a nice shift!
[06:26] Hotaru
    I wonder what he and Yao-kun
    were talking about.
[06:31] Hotaru
    What do you want to do now?
[06:34] Hananoi
    Hmm...
[06:39] Hotaru
    Wha—
[06:40] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[06:42] Hotaru
    Ow, ow, ow.
[06:45] Hananoi
    Sorry if it stings a little.
[06:46] Hotaru
    Oh, I can do that—
[06:47] Hananoi
    I'll take care of it.
[06:50] Hananoi
    I want to do it.
[06:59] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, did you have fun today?
[07:03] Hananoi
    Yeah, I did.
[07:04] Hananoi
    It's nice to go out like that sometimes.
[07:09] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, you seemed all right today.
[07:13] Hotaru
    Huh?
[07:14] Hananoi
    You told me before that things
    are weird between you and Yao.
[07:17] Hananoi
    I started to wonder if something happened.
[07:24] Hotaru
    U-Um, remember when I told you
    about the friend who cut my hair?
[07:30] Hotaru
    As a matter of fact,
     the boy she liked was Yao-kun.
[07:35] Hotaru
    So I still get a little
    scared when I'm with him.
[07:42] Hotaru
    It must be awful to have someone
    be so awkward around you
[07:46] Hotaru
    when you've done nothing wrong.
[07:49] Hotaru
    Yao-kun is really nice, so he tries
    to pretend like it doesn't bother him.
[07:55] Hotaru
    I finally realized that recently.
[07:58] Hotaru
    So I thought today would be
    the perfect opportunity.
[08:01] Hotaru
    I'm glad I looked normal.
[08:07] Hananoi
    I guess that explains it.
[08:09] Hotaru
    Wait, were you worried about me?
[08:12] Hananoi
    No, it's something else. It's not about you,
     Hotaru-chan. It's a personal problem.
[08:18] Yao
    She wouldn't want to hear something
    so important about you from someone else.
[08:23] Hananoi
    You really are amazing, Hotaru-chan.
[08:26] Hananoi
    You put other people's
    feelings before your own.
[08:29] Hananoi
    You keep growing as a person.
[08:32] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun?
[08:35] Hananoi
    But I still need to get stronger.
[08:39] Hananoi
    What do I have to do
    to get a clear head again?
[08:47] Hananoi
    Maybe the sooner...
[08:50] Hananoi
    I make you completely mine,
    the sooner I'll be able to relax.
[09:08] Hananoi
    That was close.
[09:10] Hananoi
    I almost broke the promise I made to you.
[09:16] Hananoi
    One day,
[09:18] Hananoi
    when we finally share a real kiss,
[09:22] Hananoi
    I want you to be as elated as I will be.
[09:41] Hananoi
    I'm sorry. I put you in an
    awkward position again.
[09:45] Hananoi
    I'm such an idiot. I keep doing this to you.
[09:51] Hotaru
    No, that isn't it.
[09:54] Hotaru
    I don't think that's why I just did that.
[09:58] Hotaru
    This has happened a bunch of times before.
[10:01] Hotaru
    My body just moves on its own...
[10:06] Hotaru
    But I can't really put that
    feeling into words yet.
[10:10] Hotaru
    Um, Hananoi-kun?
[10:12] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[10:15] Hananoi
    Listen, I...
[10:19] Hananoi
    There's something I haven't told you yet.
SIGN    A spring-exclusive cafeteria delicacy
[10:30] Hotaru
    This sells out in seconds every year.
[10:32] Hotaru
    I want to try it,
    but I doubt I'll get a chance.
[10:36] Hananoi
    Well, the third-years do have an advantage
    in terms of proximity.
[10:39] Hananoi
    I went through the same thing
     in middle school.
[10:42] Hotaru
    Huh?
[10:43] Hotaru
    Your middle school had a cafeteria?
[10:46] Hananoi
    Yeah. I lived in the dorms.
[10:48] Hotaru
    Y-You lived in a dorm?!
[10:51] Hananoi
    Sorry again. I still haven't told
    you much about my past, have I?
[10:56] Hotaru
    That's okay.
[10:58] Hotaru
    I should have asked sooner
    but was holding back.
[11:02] Hotaru
    Is it all right if I ask a little more?
[11:05] Hananoi
    Of course! That's what we promised.
[11:09] Hotaru
    That's right. We decided to embark
    on another new endeavor.
[11:16] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Listen, I...
[11:17] (Flashback) Hananoi
    There's something I haven't told you yet.
[11:24] (Flashback) Hananoi
    In truth, I—
[11:25] (Flashback) Hotaru
    W-Wait! Is this something
    I really need to hear?
[11:30] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I mean, the way you look right now,
    Hananoi-kun... I don't know.
[11:35] (Flashback) Hotaru
    You look like it's the end
    of the world or something.
[11:38] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Oh... Sorry.
[11:40] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I guess just got a little nervous...
[11:44] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Well, then can you give me the gist
    of what this is about?
[11:49] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Th-The gist of it?
[11:50] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yeah, yeah!
[11:52] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Um, actually, it's about how
    lame I used to be.
[12:00] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I mean, I couldn't blame you
    if it made you hate me.
[12:06] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wait, it's one of those?
[12:09] (Flashback) Hotaru
    In that case, you don't need
    to force yourself to tell me.
[12:13] (Flashback) Hananoi
    But I feel like I really should...
[12:15] (Flashback) Hotaru
    There are lots of things you don't know
    about me that might make you hate me, too.
[12:20] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tons and tons of them.
[12:23] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I know we're going out, but it's still
    going to be hard to tell each other
[12:28] (Flashback) Hotaru
    every last secret about ourselves.
[12:31] (Flashback) Hananoi
    But you told me about Yao, Hotaru-chan.
[12:35] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Well, I wanted you to know about that.
[12:39] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Hmm, but okay.
[12:42] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Maybe there are things I should tell
    you even if I don't want to.
[12:46] (Flashback) Hotaru
    This is kinda difficult.
[12:49] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Oh, I know!
[12:50] (Flashback) Hotaru
    How about we start asking more of the
    questions we have about each other instead?
[12:55] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Huh? Of course that's fine with me.
SIGN    I tend to forget, but we've only officially been going out for two months!
[12:58] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I mean, there are still a whole lot of
    things we don't know about each other yet!
[13:04] (Flashback) Hotaru
    So, okay, why don't we start
    with the little stuff
[13:08] (Flashback) Hotaru
    and practice talking about
    ourselves more and more?
[13:11] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Bit by bit, you know? L-Like beginners,
    since that's what we are.
[13:18] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Let's start off easy.
[13:24] Hotaru
    Huh.
[13:26] Hotaru
    So you had to clean and do
    your own laundry in the dorm?
[13:29] Tsukiha
    Oh, Hotaru?
[13:31] Tsukiha
    What a surprise seeing you here.
[13:34] Hotaru
    Shibamu, are you with your club?
[13:36] Tsukiha
    Yeah, we're taking a break.
[13:38] Hotaru
    Shibamu is in the kendo club.
[13:40] Tsukiha
    What are you two up to?
[13:42] Hotaru
    Um, I was planning to hang
    out with Hananoi-kun today,
[13:47] Hotaru
    but it's really pouring outside,
[13:49] Hotaru
    so I guess we're on a campus
    expedition until it stops.
[13:52] Tsukiha
    Sounds like you're having fun.
[13:54] Hozumi
    Shibamura-san, we're about to start again.
[13:57] Tsukiha
    Oh, right.
[13:59] Tsukiha
    I'll see you later.
[14:02] Hotaru
    Wait, Hozumi-sensei? I didn't know
    he was the kendo club advisor.
[14:09] Hotaru
    What extracurriculars did you do
    in middle school, Hananoi-kun?
[14:12] Hananoi
    Track and field.
[14:14] Hotaru
    Wow! So you like running?
[14:17] Hananoi
    I was really weak when I was a kid.
    I wanted to get in better shape.
[14:21] Hotaru
    I see.
[14:23] Hotaru
    Oh! Kyo-chan!
[14:26] Hibiki
    Hmm?
[14:27] Hibiki
    Hotaru? What's up?
[14:31] Hotaru
    Well, actually...
[14:32] student
    Over here!
[14:34] student
    Go center!
[14:39] Hotaru
    Oh, wow!
[14:41] Hibiki
    Yeah. Pretty cool, huh?
[14:44] Hibiki
    I wish I could come watch him every day.
[14:47] Keigo
    Oh? Hey, you two! And Hibiki!
[14:51] Senpai A
    Who?
[14:52] Senpai B
    It's that famous second-year kid.
[14:54] Keigo
    He's in my class.
[14:56] Senpai A
    But you're making your girl
    wait on you again?
[14:59] Senpai B
    Must be nice having a girlfriend.
[15:01] Senpai B
    You have someone to comfort
    you after a hard workout.
[15:05] Keigo
    So, what's up? Planning on joining the team?
[15:07] Keigo
    You're so tall, Hananoi, we'd love to ha—
[15:11] Hananoi
    You should get back to it.
[15:14] Senpai A
    Even his classmates think he's a dork!
[15:16] Senpai B
    Hilarious!
[15:18] Keigo
    You got me. He always
    gives me the cold shoulder.
[15:23] Keigo
    See you later.
[15:24] Keigo
    Oh, and sorry, Hibiki. I'm gonna be late,
    so you should go on home.
[15:28] Hibiki
    Sure.
[15:29] Hotaru
    I never see him like this in class...
[15:32] Hibiki
    Kei-chan actually has it pretty tough.
[15:35] Hibiki
    In his first year, he jumped ahead
    and became a regular player.
[15:39] Hibiki
    He has trouble getting along
     with his older teammates.
[15:42] Hibiki
    So thank you, Hananoi-kun.
[15:45] Hibiki
    If he'd kept on blabbing,
    they would've teased him even more.
[15:49] Hananoi
    I didn't do a thing.
[15:53] Hotaru
    I didn't really expect that.
[15:57] Hananoi
    I guess Kuratani has his own problems.
[16:00] Hotaru
    I get the feeling that Hananoi-kun doesn't
    really hate Keigo-kun after all.
[16:09] Hotaru
    Um, Hananoi-kun, has it always been your
    policy to avoid making friends?
[16:15] Hananoi
    No. I had some until middle school.
[16:18] Hotaru
    Oh, really?
[16:20] Hananoi
    But there was only one
    I was really close with.
[16:23] Hotaru
    Only one?!
[16:25] Hotaru
    Wh-What were they like?
[16:29] Hananoi
    Hmm...
[16:38] Hotaru
    Maybe that's something he
    doesn't want to talk about.
[16:48] Hananoi
    He was a lot older than me.
[16:52] Hotaru
    Oh, the friend you just mentioned?
[16:54] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[16:56] Hananoi
    I was really rebellious in middle school.
[17:00] Hananoi
    When I said I wanted to get my
    ears pierced, he helped me out.
[17:03] Hotaru
    Huh?
[17:05] Hananoi
    If a middle schooler said that,
    most people would try to stop them.
[17:08] Hananoi
    But he was a free spirit
    and didn't care much about stuff like that.
[17:14] Hananoi
    But then he left without saying a word.
[17:20] Hananoi
    I never saw him again.
[17:21] Hotaru
    Maybe that made him so sad,
    he didn't want any more friends.
[17:26] Hotaru
    That's a possibility...
[17:28] Hananoi
    I don't want to go through that again.
[17:33] Hotaru
    In that moment, Hananoi-kun looked
    so much more tranquil than usual.
[17:39] Hotaru
    And to my surprise, after that, he was
    happy to keep talking about his friend.
[17:46] Hotaru
    He didn't strike me at all like someone
    who didn't care about making friends.
[17:55] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun?
[17:56] Hananoi
    Hmm?
[17:58] Hotaru
    You make it sound like
    you're a bad person sometimes,
[18:02] Hotaru
    but I don't think that's true at all.
[18:05] Hananoi
    Oh...
[18:07] Hotaru
    You might not realize it,
[18:09] Hotaru
    but I think you're a lot more sincere and
    a much better person than you realize.
[18:14] Hotaru
    Listen, I really so want to learn more
    and more about you, Hananoi-kun.
[18:20] Hotaru
    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
     curious about the old you.
[18:26] Hotaru
    But the Hananoi-kun I like is
    the one with me right now.
[18:33] Hotaru
    If you'd really rather not get into the past,
     I don't want to force you to tell me.
[18:39] Hananoi
    S-Sincere?
[18:41] Hotaru
    Uh-huh.
[18:42] Hotaru
    Also, Hananoi-kun,
     I think you're really cute!
[18:45] Hananoi
    C-Cute?!
[18:46] Hotaru
    Oh, this is a good chance!
    There's something I want to make sure of.
[18:53] Hotaru
    Um...
[18:56] Hotaru
    Would mind closing your eyes
    and holding as still as a jizo statue?!
[19:01] Hananoi
    Uh...
[19:03] Hotaru
    Wh-Whenever you hold me and stuff,
[19:08] Hotaru
    my mind goes blank and I completely
    lose track of my feelings.
[19:13] Hotaru
    F-For once, I want you to let me
    try something like that on you!
[19:18] Hananoi
    Something like that...?
[19:20] Hotaru
    Don't worry. It's just for confirmation.
[19:24] Hananoi
    A-All right.
[19:27] Hananoi
    But to be honest, I don't know...
[19:31] Hananoi
    Depending on the circumstances,
    I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back.
[19:36] Hananoi
    I might not be able to stop
    myself like I have until now.
[19:40] Hotaru
    Th-That's all right!
[19:42] Hotaru
    I'm ready for it this time.
[19:46] Hotaru
    I'm so sorry. I've kept you waiting
    until I knew what I was feeling.
[19:51] Hotaru
    Thank you.
[20:17] Hananoi
    Just holding her hand...
[20:22] Hananoi
    Just touching her...
[20:22] Hotaru
    Just touching him...
[20:27] Hotaru
    It makes me feel so...
[20:31] Hotaru
    Oh, sorry!
[20:32] Hananoi
    I-It's okay. You just surprised me.
[20:39] Hotaru
    I really do think Hananoi-kun is cute.
[20:43] Hotaru
    These are my true feelings
    welling up inside me.
[20:52] Hotaru
    You're so cute! I like you so much!
[20:56] Hotaru
    I want to touch you more.
    I want to get closer to you.
[21:16] Hananoi
    Hota—
[21:16] Hotaru
    Th-That does it!
[21:18] Hotaru
    Thank you very much for your cooperation!
[21:21] Hananoi
    What was that?
[21:26] Hotaru
    A... A signal...
[21:55] Hotaru
    After the pouring rain cleared,
[21:57] Hotaru
    when the school fell silent
    after class had ended...
[22:00] Hotaru
    On this very unusual day,
[22:03] Hotaru
    I had my very first kiss.

    If I could tell my old self that

    Let me guess.
    Do you have a crush on that girl?
[02:51] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Huh?
[02:52] (Flashback) Ginji
    You've been watching her this
    whole time, haven't you?
[02:58] Non-chan
    Hit it higher!
[02:58] (Flashback) Ginji
    I see now.
[03:00] (Flashback) Ginji
    No wonder you keep coming out here
    in the cold. That explains it.
[03:05] (Flashback) Hananoi
    N-No, you're wrong! I don't really...
    have a crush on her.
[03:10] (Flashback) Hananoi
    She just picked up something
    for me I dropped the other day.
[03:16] (Flashback) Ginji
    Hmm...
[03:18] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Sorry!

    Now that's one nice girl.
[03:38] Non-chan
    Sorry!
[03:39] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Really? She just seems normal to me.
[03:42] (Flashback) Ginji
    You sure don't get it, youngster.
[03:45] (Flashback) Ginji
    It's normal to help people in need.
[03:48] (Flashback) Ginji
    If you do something wrong,
    it's normal to apologize.

    Remember to say thank you.

    to do "normal" things all the time.

    Thank you, Auntie.
[04:22] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Is that my mom on the phone?
[04:25] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    Um, well, yes. But they're having
    a bit of an argument.
[04:29] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    I'm not sure you'll get to talk to her today.
[04:33] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    Ah! There, there!
[04:35] Grandma
    For goodness sake!
    He's your son, you stubborn fool!
[04:44] (Flashback) Grandma
    Welcome home, Saki.
[04:46] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Thank you.
[04:54] (Flashback) Classmate A
    I can't find that monster anywhere!
[04:57] (Flashback) Classmate B
    Oh, I just saw him.
[04:59] (Flashback) Classmate A
    Really? Where is he?
[05:00] (Flashback) Classmate B
    Here, here.
[05:02] Girl A
    Did you hear? Yao-kun asked
    a girl in class 2 out!
[05:06] Girl B
    Wow! He's got guts!
[05:08] Girl A
    And then you know what?
[05:09] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Um... We still have cleaning to do.
[05:15] Hananoi
    I guess she doesn't like interrupting
    when people are talking.
[05:19] Hananoi
    I can kind of relate.
[05:23] Hananoi
    But why do I keep thinking
    about her so much?
[05:33] (Flashback) Non-chan
    The book I just borrowed
    is really interesting!
SIGN    A Boy's Chair
[05:35] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Oh? What kind of book is it?
[05:42] Hananoi
    What in the world am I doing?
[05:57] Hananoi
    Was she too shy to talk
    to that lady at first?
[06:01] Ginji
    It's actually pretty difficult
    to do "normal" things all the time.

[06:34] Hananoi
    It's not like I have any friends. Can I
    give them to people outside of school?
[07:01] (Flashback) Hotaru
    U-Um... Is this yours?
[07:05] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Oh!
[07:08] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Y-Yeah!
[07:16] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That card... We go to the same school, right?
[07:21] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That old man isn't here with you today.
[07:23] Hananoi
    She talked to me!
[07:26] (Flashback) Hananoi
    U-Um, well...
[07:32] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Are you going to give that card to someone?
[07:36] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I-I don't have any... m-many friends, so...
[07:46] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Neither do I.
[07:48] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I was worried I wouldn't have
    anyone to give my last one to.
[07:54] (Flashback) Hotaru
    If it's okay with you, want
    to exchange cards with me?
[07:56] (Flashback) Hananoi
    H-Huh?! Really?
[08:03] (Flashback) Hananoi
    But I haven't filled mine out yet.
[08:06] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That's okay! Just give it

[09:06] Hananoi
    What should I do? It's already March,
    and I haven't given her my card yet.
[09:13] Hananoi
    I want to give it to her when we're alone.
[09:16] (Flashback) Girl A
    Hey, isn't that Yao-kun?

[10:12] (Flashback) Non-chan
    I told you all about how I felt, Hotaru-chan!
[10:14] Hananoi
    There's somebody else in there.
[10:17] (Flashback) Non-chan
    I told you he was my dream.
    I told you I was really in love!
[10:21] (Flashback) Non-chan
    But you... But you...
[10:25] (Flashback) Non-chan
    You didn't consider my feelings
    at all, Hotaru-chan.
[10:55] (Flashback) Ginji
    Oh? You sure are late.
[10:58] (Flashback) Ginji
    I thought you might not show up today.
[11:01] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I'm... a horrible person.
[11:04] (Flashback) Ginji
    What's all this now? Did something
    bad happen at school?
[11:09] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I should have stopped it.
[11:12] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I should have gotten a teacher.
    I should have tried to cheer her up.
[11:17] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I should have done something. I couldn't.
[11:22] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Instead, I left her crying
    all by herself. I...
[11:29] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I...
[11:41] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I couldn't do anything for her!
[11:44] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I never should have started liking her!
[11:49] (Flashback) Ginji
    I don't know what happened,
    but have yourself a good cry, sonny.
[11:55] (Flashback) Ginji
    Despair is what teaches us how to grow up.
[12:03] (Flashback) Ginji
    But you know, you shouldn't feel bad
    for liking her. That isn't right.
[12:09] (Flashback) Ginji
    Love is something you just fall into.

    It was a nice little bonus, honestly.

    I'm just trying to process my joy.

    J-Joy?

[13:15] Hananoi
    Hmm?
[13:16] Hotaru
    No, I was just thinking about
    everything that happened today.
[13:21] Hotaru
    Um, anyway, I look forward
    to keep seeing you tomorrow on, too!
[13:26] Hananoi
    Sure.
[13:27] Hananoi
    I never thought we'd fall in love.
[13:31] Hananoi
    But actually, I never bothered to ask
    what happens after you're in love.
[13:39] Hananoi
    I was too focused on simply falling in love.
[13:46] Hananoi
    I never thought about what comes next.
[13:53] Hananoi
    My past is full of regrets. Will I ever
    be able to talk to you about that?
[14:00] Hananoi
    If that day comes, this time, will I finally
    have become someone worthy of you?
[14:13] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, I tried making sweets today!
[14:17] Hananoi
    Wow! I'm so happy!
[14:22] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, you have some
    cream on your cheek.
[14:35] Hotaru
    I-I had another really weird dream!
[14:40] Hotaru
    The other day, Hananoi-kun and I
    had our first kiss.
[14:45] Hotaru
    The aftermath is intense!
[14:48] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[14:50] Hananoi
    Are you feeling down today?
[14:52] Hotaru
    N-No, not at all!
[14:54] Hotaru
    Oh, the movie is gonna
    start soon. We should go!
[14:58] Hananoi
    You're right.
[15:07] Hotaru
    This isn't the first time we've held hands,
    but my heart always starts pounding!
[15:13] Hotaru
    But it's more than excitement.
    I'm just so happy.
[15:17] Hotaru
    Is this what it means to like someone?
[15:22] Hotaru
    It's strange. I used to be
    so scared.
[15:26] Hananoi
    Hmm? Is something wrong?
[15:28] Hotaru
    No.
[15:32] Hotaru
    I'm just so happy right now!
[16:02] Hotaru
    Why are all of the rings
    here lined up in pairs?
[16:06] Hananoi
    Oh, because they're for couples.
[16:09] Hotaru
    They are?!
[16:11] Employee
    Would you like to try one on?
[16:13] Hotaru
    Huh?!
[16:15] Hotaru
    Wow!
[16:17] Employee
    If you put these rings together,
     they form a heart.
[16:21] Hananoi
    Well, Hotaru-chan?
[16:23] Hotaru
    It's a very unfamiliar feeling!
[16:26] Hananoi
    Unfamiliar, huh?
[16:29] Hananoi
    Maybe a simpler design would be better.
[16:36] Hotaru
    U-Um, is this the sort of thing
    people wear when they're in love?
[16:42] Employee
    They're popular with students as well.
[16:45] Hotaru
    B-But it might be a little too soon for us.
[16:49] Employee
    Are you sure? I still think it's a lovely
    thing to celebrate your feelings.
[16:57] Hananoi
    Do you like them after all?
[17:00] Hananoi
    If it's all right, I'd like
    to give you one as a present.
[17:04] Hotaru
    N-No, that's okay. They seem expensive...
[17:08] Hotaru
    They're super expensive!
[17:13] Employee
    Please stop by again sometime!
[17:20] Hananoi
    I guess that was too much.
    Maybe a ring is overdoing it.
[17:33] Hotaru
    Oh.
[17:36] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[17:46] Hotaru
    S-Say, why don't we each buy
    matching ones here?
[17:54] Hotaru
    Wow.
[17:56] Hotaru
    I've never worn a ring before.
[17:59] Hananoi
    Let's be careful not to lose them, okay?
[18:05] Hananoi
    I'm so happy.
[18:07] Hananoi
    I was worried this sort of thing
    would embarrass you, Hotaru-chan.
[18:12] Hotaru
    I don't know. It's kind of nice to
    commemorate our feelings like this.
[18:23] Hotaru
    I never knew what this felt like.
[18:27] Hananoi
    Huh?
[18:28] Hotaru
    That just holding hands could be so exciting.
[18:32] Hotaru
    The desire to make
    someone dear to you smile.
[18:37] Hotaru
    Or how much courage it takes
    to confess your feelings to someone.
[18:46] Hotaru
    I don't ever want to forget how that feels.
[18:53] Hotaru
    As long as I'm wearing this,
    I'll remember whenever I look at it.
[18:59] Hotaru
    Oh! I'm a bit embarrassed I said that...
[19:03] Hananoi
    No, not at all.
[19:22] Hananoi
    Not even a little.
[19:26] Hotaru
    It sure is funny, though.
    I was so scared of falling in love.
[19:33] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, you taught me what love is.
[19:39] Hotaru
    Thank you!
[19:51] Hananoi
    I'm the one who's grateful.

    For falling in love with me...
