**[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.*
**[07:31] Hananoi**
*I want all of you all to myself.*
**[07:36] Hotaru**
*All of me?*

**[07:50] Yao**
Hotako.
**[07:51] Hotaru**
Oh!
**[07:52] Yao**
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.*
**[08:10] Keigo**
Hananoi!
**[08:12] Hotaru**
Oh?
**[08:13] Keigo**
I'll never ask you for anything else!
Help me study!
**[08:15] Hananoi**
Why me?
**[08:18] Hananoi**
Hell no.
**[08:19] Keigo**
But you're super smart, right?
**[08:22] Keigo**
If I don't do better this school year,
they'll drop me from the starting lineup!
**[08:26] Keigo**
Come on, Hananoi! I'm begging you!
**[08:32] Tsukiha**
Wait. Isn't today the day you
always eat with Hananoi-san?
**[08:38] Hotaru**
Yeah...
**[08:45] Hotaru**
Oh!
**[08:46] Hotaru's Mom**
*Can you pick something up for me?*
***SIGN*** Can you grab something at the
4-chome supermarket?
**[08:54] Hotaru**
Ugh.
**[08:56] Hotaru**
*Um, she also wanted... salad dressing?*
**[09:02] Hotaru**
There it is!
**[09:03] Hotaru**
Oh!
**[09:03] Grandma**
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?

**[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.*

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?

**[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!
