[00:01] Hotaru
    Listen, Hananoi-kun.
[00:03] Hotaru
    When I was in elementary school,
[00:06] Hotaru
    this weird rumor went around that I had a
    crush on a boy that my friend liked.
[00:13] Hotaru
    It wasn't true, of course, and I denied it.
[00:17] Hotaru
    But I didn't try very hard to explain things
    to my friend, and it really hurt her.
[00:23] Hananoi
    Is this the friend who cut your hair?
[00:28] Hotaru
    Yup.
[00:30] Hotaru
    We were so close, too.
[00:33] Hotaru
    It made me realize that love
    can change you, and that scared me.
[00:38] Hotaru
    But I've always felt like if I'd understood
    what it meant to like someone,
[00:43] Hotaru
    maybe things would have
    turned out differently.
[00:47] Hotaru
    The reason I wanted to date you
     and learn what love means
[00:51] Hotaru
    was partly because of that.
[00:55] Hotaru
    Hey, Hananoi-kun, doesn't the idea that
    you or I might change someday scare you?
[01:05] Hananoi
    For me, before I started dating you,
    food was just sustenance in my eyes.
[01:13] Hananoi
    You taught me how delicious it can be.
[01:19] Hananoi
    If love has the power to change
     people for the worse,
[01:23] Hananoi
    it must also have the power
    to change us for the better.
[01:27] Hananoi
    That's what I realize when I watch you.
[01:34] Hotaru
    S-Say, Hananoi-kun...
[01:42] Hotaru
    Maybe you won't want this
    since we baked our own.
[01:48] Hotaru
    But I really like you, Hananoi-kun.
[01:52] Hotaru
    I'm... in love with you!

SIGN    My First Confession
[03:37] Hananoi
    Thank you.
[03:42] Hananoi
    I'm...
[03:45] Hananoi
    so happy.
[03:51] Hananoi
    Are you sure about this?
[03:54] Hananoi
    Are you sure what you're feeling is love?
[04:02] Hotaru
    Well, Kyo-chan says that love means
    different things for different people.
[04:08] Hotaru
    So it might not be the
    exact same thing you feel,
[04:13] Hotaru
    but I do think this is love!
[04:19] Hananoi
    You know, I really do like you.
[04:22] Hananoi
    I want to be with you all the time.
[04:24] Hotaru
    Uh-huh.
[04:26] Hananoi
    As long as I have you,
     I don't care about anyone else.
[04:30] Hananoi
    I don't need family or friends.
[04:32] Hotaru
    Huh?
[04:35] Hananoi
    I always want to be close to you,
    and I don't want to let anyone else near.
[04:41] Hananoi
    I want all of you all to myself.
[04:48] Hananoi
    Knowing that, do you still
     think you can love me?
[04:57] Grandma
    Gosh, it sure is cold!
[05:00] Grandma
    Oh dear. Is somebody home?
[05:06] Grandma
    Didn't you say you were going out today?
[05:09] Hananoi
    Grandma.
[05:10] Hotaru
    H-How do you do?!
[05:12] Grandma
    My!
[05:13] Grandma
    What's this?! Did you sneak a girl in
    to be alone together?
[05:16] Grandma
    I know your parents aren't around,
[05:18] Grandma
    but that doesn't mean you can just go wild!
[05:21] Grandma
    I certainly hope you weren't
    doing anything naughty.
[05:24] Hotaru
    Huh?
[05:25] Hananoi
    Don't say it like that.
[05:27] Hotaru
    D-D-Definitely not!
[05:29] Hotaru
    Um, we were only baking
    chocolate cake together!
[05:32] Grandma
    Chocolate cake?
[05:34] Grandma
    Well, I do smell something nice.
[05:37] Hotaru
    U-Um, I'll be on my way.
[05:40] Hotaru
    If you'd like, please try some.
[05:44] Hananoi
    Oh, wait. I'll walk you out.
[05:49] Hananoi
    I'm sorry. My grandma is pretty
    strict about that kind of stuff.
[05:53] Hotaru
    No, it's okay.
[05:56] Kid A
    Oh no! The train's coming!
[05:59] Kid A
    Hurry up!
[06:00] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan!
[06:01] Kid B
    Wait for me!
[06:07] Hotaru
    Th-Thank you.
[06:11] Hotaru
    H-Here is fine. Thanks for walking with me.
[06:16] Hananoi
    Sure.
[06:18] Hananoi
    Hey, Hotaru-chan.
[06:20] Hananoi
    Maybe we shouldn't talk for a while.
[06:23] Hotaru
    Huh?
[06:25] Hananoi
    I want you to think seriously
    about what I said today.
[06:30] Hananoi
    Once you've made up your mind,
    we can pick up where we left off.
[06:34] Hotaru
    B-But I really do...
[06:38] Hananoi
    It's okay. I know.
[06:56] Hananoi
    Oh man...
[06:58] (Flashback) Ginji
    There you go again,
    trying to act like a good kid.
[07:03] (Flashback) Ginji
    When you really want something,
    why don't you just say so?
[07:08] (Flashback) Ginji
    Sometimes you should just be honest,
[07:11] (Flashback) Ginji
    sonny.
[07:15] Hananoi
    I'm such an idiot.
[07:22] Hotaru
    Think seriously about it, huh?
[07:26] Hananoi
    As long as I have you,
    I don't care about anyone else.

    What's up? You keep looking around.
[07:54] Hotaru
    Oh, um, it's nothing.
[07:59] Hotaru
    He really didn't come.
[08:02] Hotaru
    He's stopped messaging me every day, too.

    I'll never ask you for anything else!

[08:22] Keigo
    If I don't do better this school year,

    There it is!

    Oh!

    Oh!
[09:04] Hotaru
    I'm sorry!
[09:04] Grandma
    I'm sorry!
[09:06] Hotaru
    Huh?
[09:07] Grandma
    Oh my, it's you! The girl from before.
[09:10] Hotaru
    You're Hananoi-kun's...
[09:12] Hotaru
    My name is Hinase Hotaru!
    I apologize for the other day!
[09:16] Grandma
    Not at all. I should apologize to you.
[09:18] Grandma
    I shouldn't have snapped at you
    like that. I'm sorry, dear.
[09:21] Hotaru
    Oh.
[09:23] Grandma
    I didn't realize it at the time,
[09:25] Grandma
    but you're who called
    me last year, aren't you?
[09:30] Grandma
    You left before I could thank you
    properly. It's been bothering me.
[09:37] Grandma
    So once again, you have my gratitude.
[09:41] Hotaru
    I-It was nothing.
[09:43] Grandma
    Say, do you live near here too, Hinase-san?
[09:47] Hotaru
    Huh? Yes.
[09:49] Grandma
    In that case, might I have
    a bit more of your time?
[10:02] Grandma
    It's getting cold, dear.
[10:03] Hotaru
    Oh, right!
[10:13] Grandma
    Oh, I see.
[10:15] Grandma
    You've baked together and visited
    a shrine with friends...
[10:20] Grandma
    I suppose this means that boy is
    enjoying a normal high school life.
[10:25] Grandma
    That's quite a relief.
[10:27] Grandma
    You know, he never tells me anything at all.
[10:31] Hotaru
    I-Is that right?
[10:33] Grandma
    If it turned out he was living
    an unhealthy lifestyle,
[10:37] Grandma
    I was thinking of dragging
    him back to live with me.
[10:41] Hotaru
    Why does Hananoi-kun live alone now?
[10:44] Grandma
    Oh, didn't he tell you? About his parents?
[10:48] Hananoi
    He said they're doctors who work overseas.
[10:53] Grandma
    Well, it's not exactly work.
[10:56] Grandma
    They're practically volunteers.
[11:01] Grandma
    You see, his parents travel back
    and forth to poor countries,
[11:04] Grandma
    helping children who can't
    afford medical treatment.
[11:10] Hotaru
    I saw a show about people like that on TV!
[11:15] Grandma
    Well, what they're doing is wonderful,
[11:18] Grandma
    except they go around helping other peoples'
    children while ignoring their own son.
[11:26] Grandma
    I took care of him
    while he was living with me.
[11:28] Grandma
    I wonder if he was embarrassed by that.
[11:31] Grandma
    Once he started high school, he wanted
    to move back into the old apartment alone.
[11:37] Grandma
    He's a good boy, but he can be
     a bit extreme sometimes.
[11:41] Hotaru
    Yeah.
[11:43] Grandma
    Though he's changed a little recently.
[11:47] Grandma
    He never seemed to care
    much for food before,
[11:51] Grandma
    but now he asks me about cooking
     and even cleans his plate.
[11:58] Grandma
    I wonder who
    is having an effect on him.
[12:00] Hotaru
    Huh?
[12:06] Hotaru
    By the way, what happened to your hand?
[12:10] Grandma
    Oh, this little thing?
[12:12] Grandma
    When I went over to cook for him,
    I goofed and burned myself.
[12:17] Grandma
    I told him it'd heal on its own,
    but he dragged me to the hospital.
[12:23] Grandma
    It isn't such a big deal. Don't worry, okay?

    Sorry to surprise you.

[14:20] Hotaru
    O-Oh, yeah.
[14:23] Hananoi
    So, actually, right now...
[14:44] Hananoi
    Sorry. I'm here.

    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.
