[00:04] Announcement
    Due to heavy rain, the next train is running
    about twenty minutes behind.
[00:10] Announcement
    We sincerely apologize for the
    delay in service today.
[00:18] Hotaru
    I-I'm sorry!
[00:19] Hananoi
    It's okay.
[00:22] Hananoi
    The train sure is late, huh?
[00:25] Hotaru
    Yeah. I'm getting sleepy just waiting.
[00:29] Hananoi
    But I'm glad she's still here with me.
[00:34] Hananoi
    Today, we kissed for the first time.
[00:51] Hananoi
    This... isn't a dream, is it?
[00:58] Hananoi
    If I could tell my old self that
    we'd really fall in love,
[01:04] Hananoi
    I wonder how I'd react.

[02:43] Hotaru
    Whoa! Here. Here!
[02:46] Ginji
    Let me guess.
    Do you have a crush on that girl?
[02:51] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Huh?
[02:52] (Flashback) Ginji
    You've been watching her this
    whole time, haven't you?
[02:58] Non-chan
    Hit it higher!
[02:58] (Flashback) Ginji
    I see now.
[03:00] (Flashback) Ginji
    No wonder you keep coming out here
    in the cold. That explains it.
[03:05] (Flashback) Hananoi
    N-No, you're wrong! I don't really...
    have a crush on her.
[03:10] (Flashback) Hananoi
    She just picked up something
    for me I dropped the other day.
[03:16] (Flashback) Ginji
    Hmm...
[03:18] (Flashback) Non-chan
    Sorry!
[03:19] (Flashback) Hotaru
    It's okay, it's okay!
[03:21] (Flashback) Ginji
    Goodness.
[03:22] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Excuse me!
[03:25] (Flashback) Ginji
    Just be careful not to hit
    it into the road, okay?
[03:28] (Flashback) Hotaru
    All right. Thank you very much.
SIGN    A Boy's Chair
[03:36] Hotaru
    Thanks for waiting!
[03:37] (Flashback) Ginji
    Now that's one nice girl.
[03:38] Non-chan
    Sorry!
[03:39] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Really? She just seems normal to me.
[03:42] (Flashback) Ginji
    You sure don't get it, youngster.
[03:45] (Flashback) Ginji
    It's normal to help people in need.
[03:48] (Flashback) Ginji
    If you do something wrong,
    it's normal to apologize.
[03:52] (Flashback) Ginji
    Remember to say thank you.
[03:54] (Flashback) Ginji
    But it's actually pretty difficult
    to do "normal" things all the time.
[04:05] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I'm home.
[04:07] Grandma
    Listen, Saki is just about to graduate.
[04:11] Grandma
    He studied so hard for his entrance exam.
[04:14] Grandma
    You should come home for a while.
[04:16] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    Oh, Saki-kun. Welcome home.
[04:17] Grandma
    Oh dear. Are you really going to say that?
[04:19] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Thank you, Auntie.
[04:22] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Is that my mom on the phone?
[04:25] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    Um, well, yes. But they're having
    a bit of an argument.
[04:29] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    I'm not sure you'll get to talk to her today.
[04:33] (Flashback) Hananoi's aunt
    Ah! There, there!
[04:35] Grandma
    For goodness sake!
    He's your son, you stubborn fool!
[04:44] (Flashback) Grandma
    Welcome home, Saki.
[04:46] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Thank you.
[04:54] (Flashback) Classmate A
    I can't find that monster anywhere!
[04:57] (Flashback) Classmate B
    Oh, I just saw him.
[04:59] (Flashback) Classmate A
    Really? Where is he?
[05:00] (Flashback) Classmate B
    Here, here.
[05:02] Girl A
    Did you hear? Yao-kun asked
    a girl in class 2 out!
[05:06] Girl B
    Wow! He's got guts!
[05:08] Girl A
    And then you know what?
[05:09] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Um... We still have cleaning to do.
[05:15] Hananoi
    I guess she doesn't like interrupting
    when people are talking.
[05:19] Hananoi
    I can kind of relate.
[05:23] Hananoi
    But why do I keep thinking
    about her so much?
[05:33] (Flashback) Non-chan
    The book I just borrowed
    is really interesting!
SIGN    A Boy's Chair
[05:35] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Oh? What kind of book is it?
[05:42] Hananoi
    What in the world am I doing?
[05:57] Hananoi
    Was she too shy to talk
    to that lady at first?
[06:01] Ginji
    It's actually pretty difficult
    to do "normal" things all the time.

[06:28] (Flashback) Teacher
    with at least three people you
    want to stay in touch with.
[06:34] Hananoi
    It's not like I have any friends. Can I
    give them to people outside of school?
[07:01] (Flashback) Hotaru
    U-Um... Is this yours?
[07:05] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Oh!
[07:08] (Flashback) Hananoi
    Y-Yeah!
[07:16] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That card... We go to the same school, right?
[07:21] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That old man isn't here with you today.
[07:23] Hananoi
    She talked to me!
[07:26] (Flashback) Hananoi
    U-Um, well...
[07:32] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Are you going to give that card to someone?
[07:36] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I-I don't have any... m-many friends, so...
[07:46] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Neither do I.
[07:48] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I was worried I wouldn't have
    anyone to give my last one to.
[07:54] (Flashback) Hotaru
    If it's okay with you, want
    to exchange cards with me?
[07:56] (Flashback) Hananoi
    H-Huh?! Really?
[08:03] (Flashback) Hananoi
    But I haven't filled mine out yet.
[08:06] (Flashback) Hotaru
    That's okay! Just give it
    to me at school later.

    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?

    Okay, I'll see you at school!

    If she's in the classroom,
    I'll give it to her.
[10:01] Hananoi
    If she's in the classroom,
    I'll give it to her!
[10:03] Hananoi
    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.

    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.

    I never thought she'd talk to me again.

[13:02] Hotaru
    All right, I'll see you tomorrow.

    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.

    Are you o—

    Was I making a weird fa—

    Not weird at all.
