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.

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.

This may not mean anything to you,

[00:19] Hananoi
Even holding your hand,
even just touching you...
[00:23] Hananoi
makes my heart ache so badly.
[00:26] Hotaru
H-Hananoi-kun, what's wro—
[00:31] Hotaru
His heart is beating so fast!
[00:35] Hotaru
Does he always get like this?
[00:38] Hotaru
Every time he's... with me?
[00:44] Hananoi
I'm not the kind of person you think I am.
[00:49] Hananoi
Really, I'm always...
[00:52] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, are you sure you're feeling—
[00:58] Hananoi
Hotaru-chan.
[01:01] Hananoi
I really like you.
[01:08] Hotaru
H-Hana...
[01:10] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, wait!
[01:25] Hotaru
H-Hananoi-kun, are you okay?
[01:28] Hotaru
Y-You're burning up!
[01:33] Hotaru
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?

Hey, Big Sis!

It's time for dinner!
[04:10] Hotaru
I don't want any.
[04:12] Tomori
Huh?!
[04:13] Tomori
You don't want dinner? What's wrong?

I don't feel like I deserve it right now.

Don't overdo it!

[04:28] Hotaru
You're right.
[04:34] Hotaru
But the way I made him look...
How can I apologize for that?
[04:40] Hotaru
What am I gonna do?!
SIGN December 23rd
SIGN I'm really sorry about yesterday. It was thoughtless of me
to ask to kiss you to see if I liked you. I regret saying that.
How are you doing now? Please message me once you're feeling better.
SIGN I want to spend Christmas Eve with you
[05:03] (Flashback) Hotaru
Okay, then I'll give you my answer
after our date. Is that okay?
[05:07] (Flashback) Hananoi
Yeah.
[05:10] (Flashback) Hotaru
This'll be new for me.
[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?
[05:36] (Flashback) Hotaru
They all end up going on dates or trips.
[05:40] (Flashback) Hananoi
Yeah? Then I'll do my best to escort you.
[05:45] (Flashback) Hotaru
I'm looking forward to it.

[05:52] Hotaru
Today's the last day
of our trial dating period.
[05:56] Hotaru
If nothing else happens, then tomorrow
we'll just become... strangers?
SIGN December 24th
[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.
[06:38] Non-chan
You never thought about
how I felt, Hotaru-chan.
[06:44] Hotaru
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!
[06:57] Hotaru
I should at least try calling him.
[07:00] Hotaru
What?!
[07:02] Hotaru
Yes? Hello?
SIGN Ice Skating Rink
[07:11] Tomori
Hotaru! You're late!
[07:15] Hotaru
Here's the... sewing kit... you asked for.
[07:20] Mom
Sorry to drag you out here.
Her costume ripped.
[07:23] Tomori
Come on, Mom! Hurry, hurry!
[07:28] Tomori
Yes! It's perfect!
[07:30] Mom
Mm-hmm, I hate to say it myself,
but my work this year is a masterpiece!
[07:35] Dad
You look so pretty, Tomo-chan!
[07:37] Tomori
And today, I'm the star!
[07:39] Dad
Yes! The prettiest princess in the world!
[07:43] Mom
Hotaru, I thought you had plans.
Is everything all right?
[07:46] Hotaru
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
I guess so.
[08:02] Mom
It'll be okay. How about we go out for
something you like for dinner later?
[08:07] Hotaru
Sure. Thanks.

Where are you right now?
SIGN Christmas Ice Show
[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.
[09:58] Audience
Wonderful, wonderful!
[09:59] Audience
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.
[13:23] Hananoi
Hmm?
[13:24] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, are you really
feeling better now?
[13:28] Hananoi
Yeah. Totally.
[13:30] Hananoi
After resting for two days,
I actually feel great.
[13:38] Hananoi
There's only one December 24th,
so I wanted to be with you.
[13:44] Hananoi
Remember? I said I'd
make it a special day for you.
[13:48] Hotaru
That's really nice of you,
but where are we going this late?
[13:57] Hotaru
Wow!
[14:00] Hotaru
I didn't know the amusement park was
like this during winter! I had no idea!
[14:05] Hotaru
It's so pretty!
[14:07] Hananoi
We can look at the lights later.
[14:10] Hananoi
Hotaru-chan, aren't you hungry?
[14:13] Hotaru
Yeah.

The best part is over here.

They're doing a Christmas fair right now,
[14:34] Hananoi
so they have stalls with food from all over.
[14:39] Hananoi
Sorry this isn't a real restaurant, though.
[14:42] Hotaru
That's totally okay!
[14:43] Hotaru
It's my dream to conquer foods
from around the world, so I'm stoked!
[14:47] Hananoi
I'm glad.
[14:50] Hotaru
Thank you for the food!
[14:50] Hananoi
Thank you for the food.
[14:56] Hotaru
Yum!
[14:58] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, try this one too!
Have a bite! It's super good!
[15:34] Hotaru
Ah...
[15:36] Hotaru
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!
[16:11] Hananoi
It's okay. I've got you.
[16:17] Hananoi
Slowly, slowly. One, two. One, two.
[16:23] Hananoi
One, two.
[16:23] Hotaru
One, two...
[16:25] Hotaru
One, two...
[16:30] Hotaru
With your help, I can walk, at least.
[16:35] Hananoi
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?

A-As embarrassing as it is, yeah.

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.

so I've been asking him
to wait somewhere warm.

doesn't look like he's laughing!

Okay. You guys are in charge of mains and sides.

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.

Wh-What?

of trying out kissing and stuff.

Honestly, this whole thing today
is kind of a pain in the ass.

I don't have "sunshine" to share
with anyone but Hotaru-chan.

Well, you haven't seen each other recently.

Of course he wants to be alone

But, I mean, it's only been a week.

D-Do you agree, Shibamu?
[06:00] Tsukiha
Yeah, I guess so.

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!
[06:55] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun!
[06:57] Hananoi
Hotaru-chan.
[07:01] Old lady
Well then, thank you very
much for your help.
[07:05] Hananoi
Not at all. Please take care.

Someone you know?
[07:09] Hananoi
No. I just happened to be
there to lend a hand.
[07:12] Hananoi
Sorry. I was about to head back.
[07:17] Hananoi
Hotaru-chan?
[07:18] Hotaru
I-It's nothing. Let's catch up with everyone.

Wait.
SIGN Buttered Potatoes
[07:28] Hananoi
Can we stay just the two of us
a little longer?
[07:38] Hananoi
It's been so long since
we got to talk like this.
[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.

Hey, Yao!
[11:50] Yao
Oh, sorry.
[11:51] Yao's friend
What's up?
[11:53] Yao
Nothing. I just thought
I saw a familiar face.
[12:04] Hotaru
Welcome!
[12:07] Hotaru
It's the third term now.
[12:08] Hotaru
Thank you very much.
[12:09] Hotaru
I decided to get a part-time job
for a change of pace.
[12:12] Satomura
Hota-chan, you've already
gotten the hang of checkout!
[12:16] Hotaru
S-Satomura-san...
[12:19] Hotaru
After the other day,
[12:20] Hotaru
I was reminded just how much
I don't know about Hananoi-kun,
[12:25] Hotaru
so I decided to step into a world
I think interests him.
[12:32] Customer
Excuse me!
[12:33] Satomura
Coming!
[12:37] Hotaru
This is my first job and everything
about it makes me nervous.
[12:41] Hananoi
Excuse me.
[12:43] Hotaru
Yes! Welcome...
[12:45] Hananoi
I'd like to buy these.
[12:47] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun! You really came to see me!
[12:50] Hananoi
Yeah!

For these two items,
your total is 1,100 yen.

Since school's started back up
and I see him every day,
[13:05] Hotaru
I don't get flustered each time
we meet up like I used to.
SIGN Kohdansha Novel Awards SciFi Winner
[13:10] Hotaru
I didn't know you read books like these.
[13:13] Hananoi
I read everything.
[13:15] Hotaru
Deciding to work here is already paying off!
[13:19] Hananoi
Say, Hotaru-chan, how late
are you working today?
[13:23] Hotaru
I'm on until closing, so eight.
[13:26] Hananoi
Okay. Can I wait over
there until you're done?
[13:28] Hotaru
Huh? Th-That's fine, but it's only six right now.
[13:32] Hananoi
I'll read while I wait.
[13:36] Hananoi
See you then, okay?
[13:39] Satomura
Hey, hey!
[13:41] Satomura
I-Is that guy a friend of yours?
[13:44] Hotaru
Oh, um, yeah. We go to the same school.
[13:47] Satomura
Oh wow! He's so good-looking!
[13:54] Hananoi
What a surprise.
[13:56] Hananoi
I always figured you'd
get a job at a restaurant.
[14:00] Hananoi
Why did you pick a bookstore?
[14:02] Hotaru
Um, well...
[14:09] Hotaru
N-No particular reason!
[14:12] Hananoi
Oh, okay.
[14:15] Hotaru
Oh no! That must have come off wrong.
[14:18] Hotaru
What is this? I feel like I'm obsessing
over his reactions recently.
[14:23] Hananoi
Working part-time, huh?
[14:26] Hananoi
I'll be disappointed if this
means less time together.
[14:29] Hotaru
Don't worry! It's only three days a week.
[14:33] Hananoi
I guess so.
SIGN Several Days Later...

Huh?
[14:41] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun?
[14:45] Hotaru
Were you waiting for me?
[14:47] Hananoi
Yeah. I was just leaving the
library and noticed the time.
[14:51] Hananoi
It's already dark, so I'll walk you home.
SIGN Several More Days Later...
[14:57] Hotaru
Have a good night!
[15:00] Hotaru
Huh? Again?!
[15:02] Hananoi
It's dangerous to be out alone at night.
[15:04] Hotaru
Night? But it isn't even six yet.
[15:07] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, I'll be okay by my—
[15:10] Hotaru
Wait, no.
[15:13] Hotaru
That's right.
[15:15] Hotaru
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.
[15:38] Hotaru
I think once I figure that out, I'll start
to understand who Hananoi-kun is inside.
[15:44] Tomori
Oh.
[15:45] Tomori
Huh?! Big Sis?!
[15:48] Tomori
You said you had work today!
[15:50] Hotaru
Yeah, I just got off.
[15:52] Hotaru
He walked me home because it's dark.
[15:55] Mom
My! Thank you, Hananoi-kun!
[15:58] Hananoi
I'll be on my way.
[16:00] Mom
Oh, already?
[16:02] Mom
Why not stay for dinner
since you came all this way?
[16:14] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, thanks for waiting!
[16:17] Hotaru
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.
[16:56] Hotaru
Huh?
[16:57] Hananoi
I want to see what little Hotaru-chan looked like
[17:00] Hananoi
Wow!
[17:04] Hananoi
S-So cute!
[17:09] Hotaru
N-Next time, you have to show
me your photo albums too!
[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?

[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?
[22:02] Hotaru
Hey,
[22:07] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun...

I always thought love would never

[02:02] Hananoi
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...
[02:29] Hotaru
Li...
[02:32] Hotaru
L-Liii...!
[02:34] Hotaru
Is it always this hard to tell
someone you like them?!
[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.

[13:29] Hotaru
Valentine's Day, huh?
[13:31] Hotaru
It's the perfect opportunity

[13:34] Satomura
Hota-chan, are you making chocolates
for someone? That's great!
[13:39] Hotaru
But there are so many different kinds
that I'm not sure what to make.
[13:43] Satomura
In that case, there's a Valentine's fair
going on in the event space upstairs.
[13:48] Satomura
Wanna go together?
[13:50] Employee
Would you like to try one?
[13:51] Satomura
Wow!
[13:53] Hotaru
I didn't expect Yao-kun to tag along!
[14:01] Yao
Hey, these are pretty impressive, right?
[14:05] Yao
Do people actually gift stuff
like this on Valentine's?
[14:07] Satomura
Well, you gotta go big if you want
the chocolate to send a message!
[14:10] Hotaru
Oh, right! Chocolates!
[14:13] Satomura
But I bet you're so popular, Yao-kun,
[14:15] Satomura
that you end up buried
in chocolate every year.
[14:19] Yao
Nah, not really.
[14:22] Hotaru
Even though the girls used
to line up to give you chocolates?
[14:25] Yao
When did that ever happen?
[14:27] Hotaru
That was why I couldn't give
you my self-introduction card.
[14:31] Satomura
What are you talking about?
[14:32] Hotaru
We had a special class before graduation

with an assignment where we were supposed
to exchange cards with three friends.
[14:39] Hotaru
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?
[14:53] Hotaru
Huh?
[14:54] Satomura
You two sure were good friends.
[14:57] Yao
Yeah, we really were!
[14:57] Hotaru
No, we weren't that close.
[14:58] Yao & Hotaru
Huh?
[14:59] Satomura
Hmm?
[15:07] Hotaru
Okay.
[15:09] Hotaru
I've never made my own chocolates before,
[15:12] Hotaru
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.
[15:24] Hotaru
I was so anxious about today,
I got here a whole hour early.
[15:29] Hotaru
I really hope Hananoi-kun likes these.
SIGN I'm really sorry, but can we meet an hour later?

That's unusual. I wonder what happened.

[15:57] Hotaru
Oh, don't worry about that.
[16:00] Hotaru
Did something happen?
[16:01] Hananoi
U-Um, actually, I ran into
some trouble at home.
[16:07] Hotaru
Should I come over?
[16:09] Hananoi
What? Oh, no, it's totally fine—
[16:13] Hotaru
H-Hananoi-kun?
[16:15] Hananoi
Sorry.
[16:16] Hananoi
I promise I'll see you later today.
[16:18] Hananoi
Want to wait at home until then?
[16:21] Hotaru
Huh?
[16:22] Hananoi
I'll let you know once I have an idea of when.
SIGN Fine by me. Something up?
SIGN It's not a big deal or anything
SIGN Oh, wait
SIGN It might take a little longer than that
SIGN Voice Call
[16:26] Hotaru
Is everything really okay?
[16:30] Hotaru
Would I be a problem if I just showed up?
[16:34] Hotaru
I at least want to give
him the chocolates today.
[16:43] Hananoi
Hotaru-chan?!
[16:44] Hotaru
I'm sorry. I was worried about you.
[16:47] Hananoi
U-Uh, wow, okay then...
[16:50] Hananoi
Anyway, come in. It's kind
of a mess right now, though.
[16:55] Hotaru
A mess?
[16:58] Hananoi
Coming!
[17:07] Hotaru
H-Hananoi-kun! What happened to you?
Um, you've got chocolate on you...
[17:12] Hananoi
Yeah, sorry. I just...
[17:19] Hananoi
I've been trying to bake since morning,
but I keep messing it up.
[17:24] Hananoi
I'm sorry for spoiling our date!
[17:27] Hotaru
Th-That's okay!
[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,
[17:56] Hananoi
that it would make you happy again.
SIGN Make Chocolates the Easy Way
[18:04] Hananoi
But it didn't work out at all.
I'm such a dork.
[18:08] Hotaru
No, you aren't!
And I know exactly how you feel!
[18:12] Hotaru
Hey, I'll help you clean up,
so let's bake some together!
[18:19] Hotaru
I want to make some
chocolates for you too!
[18:25] Hotaru
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.

I'm...

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.

Oh, right!
[10:13] Grandma
Oh, I see.
[10:15] Grandma
You've baked together and visited

[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,

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.

It isn't such a big deal. Don't worry, okay?

things are deeply important to you.
[13:03] Hotaru
But when you say you
don't care about anyone else,
[13:08] Hotaru
I don't think you really feel that way.
[13:11] Hotaru
I'm sure you have your reasons
for saying it, though.

When I can't see him,
[13:41] Hotaru
I get so lonely.
SIGN I miss you, Hananoi-kun
[14:09] Hotaru
H-Hananoi-kun?
[14:11] Hananoi
Ah! Hotaru-chan?
[14:15] Hananoi
Sorry to surprise you.
I got your message.
[14:20] Hotaru
O-Oh, yeah.
[14:23] Hananoi
So, actually, right now...
[14:44] Hananoi
Sorry. I'm here.
[14:52] Mom
Hotaru?
[14:53] Mom
Where are you going at this hour?
[14:55] Hotaru
Just the convenience store!
[14:57] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun!
[15:19] Hananoi
Oh! S-Sorry!
[15:21] Hananoi
I've been so Hotaru deprived,
I wasn't thinking!
[15:28] Hotaru
Me too! I've missed you so much!
[15:37] Hotaru
So...
[15:39] Hotaru
I'm positive I like you, Hananoi-kun.
[15:42] Hotaru
But when you ask if I'm sure about it,
[15:47] Hotaru
I'm not sure I can keep up with
you on all your sense of values.
[15:51] Hotaru
I'm not confident I'll be an ideal girlfriend.
[15:54] Hotaru
I mean, I don't have any reason
whatsoever to be confident.
[16:00] Hotaru
But you know...
[16:03] Hotaru
Can't we still be together,
even if we see things differently?
[16:11] Hotaru
The other day when we were baking
together, I was so happy.
[16:19] Hotaru
But it wasn't just then.
[16:22] Hotaru
There have been so many occasions
[16:24] Hotaru
that were a delight.
Where I was thrilled to be with you,
[16:29] Hotaru
or even just to talk to you.
[16:33] Hotaru
I figure maybe, as those things keep
adding up, I'll find my confidence.
[16:41] Hotaru
So, you know, I think this
is just the beginning.
[16:46] Hotaru
I want it to be you, Hananoi-kun.
[16:50] Hotaru
Things may not always work,
and I might cry sometimes,
[16:54] Hotaru
but you're who I want to share that with.
[16:58] Hotaru
So do you think you could go out
with someone like me?
[17:08] Hananoi
That's what... I should be asking you.
[17:13] Hotaru
What? Why are you crying?
[17:16] Hananoi
I'm not crying.
[17:17] Hotaru
Oh, really? Sorry, my mistake.
[17:26] Hananoi
I'm sorry. I'm the one lacking confidence.
[17:32] Hotaru
He really is crying.
[17:43] Hananoi
I love you.
[17:48] Hotaru
Y-You flatter me.
[17:54] Hananoi
I'm looking forward to us.
[17:56] Hotaru
So... So am I!
[18:04] Hotaru
D-Does this mean we're about to—
[18:31] Hotaru
It's winter. I'm sixteen.
[18:34] Hotaru
And starting today, we really
are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Hey there.
[20:34] (Flashback) Ginji
All by yourself again, sonny?
[20:42] (Flashback) Ginji
What's going on? You look
even gloomier than normal.
[20:47] (Flashback) Hananoi
My mom and dad promised to
come back to Japan next week,
[20:53] (Flashback) Hananoi
but now they can't.
[20:55] (Flashback) Ginji
Is that right?
[20:58] (Flashback) Ginji
Well, a doctor's life is
always full of surprises.
SIGN The Horse and the Witch
[21:03] (Flashback) Hananoi
I wonder if even they care about me at all.
[21:11] (Flashback) Ginji
Well, I guess it's about time for you.
[21:14] (Flashback) Ginji
Your parents are living as they please,
so you should live freely too.
[21:20] (Flashback) Ginji
You gotta find someone else
that you really love.
[21:27] (Flashback) Hananoi
More than Mom and Dad?
[21:30] (Flashback) Ginji
Yeah! That's what they call...
[21:33] (Flashback) Ginji
a soulmate!
[21:37] (Flashback) Ginji
In my case, I lived a little too freely,
so my folks cut ties with me.
[21:43] (Flashback) Ginji
But when I met my wife,
it changed my universe.
[21:48] (Flashback) Hananoi
A soulmate?
[21:51] (Flashback) Ginji
So, how about it?
Any girls you like at school?
[21:55] (Flashback) Hananoi
No.
[21:57] (Flashback) Ginji
Get out there, sonny!

[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 Episode 8
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!

[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?

I still have some meals left, so don't worry.

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

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.

[03:53] 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.

Watch it, Tomo!
[08:14] Hotaru
It took two hours to get here by train.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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...

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

[03:01] Keigo
Whoa!
[03:03] Hibiki
Oh, come on, Kei-chan!
[03:05] Hananoi
Asami-san.
[03:06] Hibiki
Yes?!
[03:07] Hananoi
When did you start calling
this guy by his first name?
[03:11] Hibiki
When? I think it was right
after we first met.
[03:17] Hananoi
So it was important to start early...
[03:22] Hotaru
Shibamu, good morning!
[03:24] Tsukiha
Good morning!
[03:25] Tsukiha
Let's have a great second year together.
[03:28] Shoichiro
All right. Please take your seats, everyone.
[03:33] Hotaru
A new classroom.
[03:35] Hotaru
New classmates.
[03:41] Hotaru
A new normal...
[03:45] New student B
Who is that upperclassman?! He's so cool!
[03:48] Hotaru
...is already unfolding.
[03:49] New student A
I wonder what grade he's in.

[03:58] Hotaru
What?!
[04:00] Tsukiha
Oh well. It figures.
[04:02] Hotaru
Yeah. But what should I do?
I'm supposed to eat with Hananoi-kun today.
[04:07] Tsukiha
Don't sweat it.
[04:09] Hananoi
Hotaru-chan!
[04:10] Hananoi
Let's have lunch together.
[04:12] Girl students
Wow!
[04:14] Hotaru
Hananoi-kun, perfect timing!
[04:18] Hananoi
I see.
[04:20] Tsukiha
You don't need to worry about me.
[04:22] Hotaru
But I don't want to leave you alone, Shibamu.
[04:25] Students
Wow!
[04:26] Students
What are they talking about?
[04:27] Student
He's so cool!
[04:28] Tsukiha
Well, worst case, I eat by myself.
That doesn't bother me at all.

[04:33] Hotaru
Who do I put first
in a situation like this?
[04:36] Hotaru
It would be best if the three
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.

Man, he sure doesn't pull any punches.

Oh...
[14:49] Yao
Sorry. I didn't mean to spy on you.

Do you get asked out a lot by random girls?
[14:58] Hananoi
Huh?
[14:59] Hananoi
Is that any of your business?

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.

I don't particularly care
for who I was back then.

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?
[17:23] Yao
What the hell am I doing?
[17:27] (Flashback) Yao
Hotako. Hotako!
[17:32] (Flashback) Hotaru

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

No, I'm good! I'll be fine.

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?

[02:38] Satomura
I haven't hung out with anyone
like this since I moved to Tokyo!
[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
But I've always wanted to go out
and let loose like this!
[03:00] Satomura
So thanks for inviting me today.
[03:03] Hotaru
I-I actually always really enjoy talking
to you, Satomura-san. It's so fun!
[03:10] Satomura
Hota-chan! You're the cutest
coworker I've ever had!
[03:15] Hananoi
I guess that makes another one.
[03:22] Satomura
That next! Let's do that!
[03:25] Satomura
When the sign appears,
hit the drum with these sticks.
[03:28] Yao
We shouldn't just stand here watching.
[03:30] Yao
Wanna play something together?
[03:33] Hananoi
Nah.
[03:34] Yao
Oh, don't say that.
[03:35] Yao
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.
[03:53] Hananoi
So that's the reason he
forced me to come today.
[03:58] Hananoi
I said you should tell her if you want.
[04:01] Yao
You know, man, I really don't get you.
[04:05] Yao
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.
[04:28] Hananoi
If I win, you're never
gonna bring it up again.
[04:32] Satomura
We did it!
[04:34] Hotaru
I'm so sorry. I was holding you back.
[04:37] Satomura
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.

Really? She just seems normal to me.

You sure don't get it, youngster.
[03:45] (Flashback) Ginji
It's normal to help people in need.

If you do something wrong,
it's normal to apologize.

Remember to say thank you.

Oh, Saki-kun. Welcome home.
[04:17] Grandma
Oh dear. Are you really going to say that?
[04:19] (Flashback) Hananoi
Thank you, Auntie.

[04:25] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
Um, well, yes. But they're having

Um... We still have cleaning to do.

I guess she doesn't like interrupting
when people are talking.
[05:19] Hananoi

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
to me at school later.
[08:10] (Flashback) Hotaru
Can I just ask what your name is?
[08:13] (Flashback) Hotaru
Mine's Hotaru. Hinase Hotaru.
[08:17] (Flashback) Hananoi
M-My name is Sa... Saki.

[08:50] Hananoi
I wish... I wish I could get
a girl like her to like me.
[08:57] Hananoi
I wish she could be my soulmate.
[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?
[09:18] (Flashback) Girl B
Oh, you're right!
But who's that girl with him?

[09:58] Hananoi

I'll give it to her.

If she's in the classroom...
I'll give it to her!
[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.
[12:13] (Flashback) Ginji
There's no such thing as someone
who shouldn't fall in love.

[12:31] Hotaru
Oh, s-sorry! When did I fall asleep?
[12:35] Hananoi
Good morning. It's totally okay.
[12:38] Hananoi
It was a nice little bonus, honestly.
[12:41] Hananoi
I'm just trying to process my joy.
[12:43] Hotaru
J-Joy?
[12:45] Hananoi
Yeah. I'm happy.
[12:49] Hananoi
I never thought I'd ever see her again.
[12:54] Hananoi
I never thought she'd talk to me again.

[13:02] Hotaru
All right, I'll see you tomorrow.
[13:05] Hananoi
Yeah.
[13:11] Hananoi
See you tomorrow.
[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.
[19:58] Hananoi
For falling in love with me...
[20:02] Hananoi
Thank you.
[20:13] Hotaru
Are you o—
[20:41] Hotaru
Was I making a weird fa—
[20:59] Hananoi
Not weird at all.
[21:01] Hananoi
Sorry. You're just so cute, I couldn't resist.
[21:06] Hananoi
I like you so much, Hotaru-chan.
[22:52] Hananoi
Good morning, Hotaru-chan.

Good morning, Hananoi-kun!
