    Antarctica, huh?
[00:12] kima
    Antarctica, yeah...
[00:13] yuzu
    It really is Antarctica!
[00:16] shira
    Yeah...
[00:20] kana
    High school girls!
[00:22] all
    Yes?
[00:24] kana
    Within 100 kg. You're clear.
[00:27] kima
    I ate so much while cutting down
    on my sweets, but it didn't change!
[00:31] hina
    You should think about that, my dear.
[00:35] shira
    Is that really what we're taking there?
[00:37] yuzu
    We can't go in the snow cat, I suppose?
[00:40] kima
    Yuzuki-chan, you look like
    you could die right now.
[00:42] yuzu
    I certainly feel like it.
[00:48] kima
    Look!
[00:56] kima
    It really is a big boat, isn't it?
[01:07] kima
    Right?
[01:08] shira
    Yeah.
[01:09] hina
    At least look first.

[03:16] man
    Hey, lie down there!
[03:19] kima
    Okay!
[03:20] yuzu
    It's so cold!
[03:23] yuzu
    Or not?
[03:24] shira
    December is summer here,
[03:26] shira
    so on warm days, it might not even
    get below freezing during the day.
[03:29] hina
    Really?
[03:31] kima
    Hey, my hand's totally fine!
[03:33] kima
    Cold!
[03:40] kana
    I'll give you a quick tour before the
    stuff arrives and things get crazy.
[03:46] hina
    So this is Syowa Station?
[03:48] kana
    That thing that looks like a stack
    of cubes is the control building.
[03:51] kana
    If this were a house, it would be like
    the living room where everyone hangs out.
[03:55] kana
    That's the generator building.
[03:57] kana
    Those are the residence
    building and the warehouses.
[04:00] kana
    That's the Lakeside Hotel.
[04:01] kima
    Lakeside?
[04:03] kana
    It's what we call the lodging
    house for the summer team.
[04:06] kana
    Normally, the members who aren't staying
    for the winter would live there.
[04:09] kana
    But because there hasn't been maintenance
    at the other building for three years,
[04:13] kana
    and seeing as you're girls...
[04:17] kana
    You get your own rooms!
[04:20] kima
    We get to use all this?
[04:24] kana
    The air is very dry, so be
    prepared for lots of static.
[04:28] kana
    But the floors are heated,
    and if you open the blinds...
[04:34] yuzu
    At last, I don't have to worry about the
    things Kimari-san rambles in her sleep.
[04:38] kima
    Do I really talk that much?
[04:40] yuzu
    Yes, you do!
[04:41] yuzu
    And you do it with your eyes open...
[04:43] (Flashback) kima
    Emergency.
[04:45] (Flashback) yuzu
    What is it?
[04:47] (Flashback) kima
    The jar genie won't come out of the toilet.
[04:50] (Flashback) kima
    He probably won't go through the ticket gate.
[04:55] yuzu
    Like that.
[04:56] kima
    What's the jar genie?
[04:57] yuzu
    How should I know?!
[04:59] kana
    Well, let's move on to
    the control building...
[05:01] kana
    Or that was my plan, but I bet the
    stuff is about to start arriving.
[05:05] kana
    Let's go back to the heliport.
[05:06] all
    Okay!
[05:10] toshi
    I'll have to replace this...
[05:16] yume
    Ow.
[05:24] yumi
    Time for some cleaning up!
[05:33] kana
    Okay, let's take a break
    until the next one arrives!
[05:36] kana
    You okay?
[05:37] shira
    Yes.
[05:38] shira
    I worked part-time at a moving company.
[05:40] kana
    Okay, then rest for ten minutes and then
    help me with the loading over there.
[05:43] yuzu
    Oh? I got an email...
[05:46] kana
    It might have arrived when
    we were in the base earlier.
[05:48] kana
    We get a cell phone signal
    near the control building.

    Just stay within five meters, okay?
[06:05] hina
    Got it!

    Pen...guin...
[06:09] hina
    Hold it!
[06:10] hina
    Okay, I'm filming! Yuzu, grab
    the mike and do a report!
[06:12] kima
    Hinata-chan, emergency!
[06:13] hina
    What?
[06:14] kima
    It's coming toward us!
[06:19] shira
    It's coming... coming...
[06:22] hina
    Wait, wait, wait! Stay within five meters!
[06:24] hina
    Wait, wait!
[06:25] ---
    No!
[06:28] kana
    Never a dull moment, huh?
[06:30] kana
    Something wrong?
[06:32] yuzu
    Oh, no...
[07:00] kima
    Is it really okay to drop
    dirty snow in there?
[07:03] shira
    They said it would get
    filtered, so it's fine.
[07:05] hina
    Don't take that off. You'll get sunburn.
[07:07] kima
    But it's hard to breathe!
[07:10] hina
    But it's just been one
    job after another, huh?
[07:15] shina
    No one's been here for three years,
    so we'll probably be this busy for a while.
[07:19] hina
    I see...
[07:20] shira
    You don't like it?
[07:21] hina
    Keeping busy is the best way
    to speed the clock's hands!
[07:25] shira
    Another made-up saying?
[07:27] hina
    I thought that one up when I was
    working at the convenience store.
[07:30] hina
    I think I prefer to keep busy.
[07:36] kima
    I'm exhausted!
[07:37] yuzu
    I agree.
[07:39] yuzu
    I think I like keeping busy, too.
[07:42] kima
    What?
[07:44] yuzu
    Well... we've been traveling
    together for so long, haven't we?
[07:47] kima
    Yeah! We have!
[07:49] yuzu
    We talked about a lot of things
    and had fun together, didn't we?
[07:53] hina
    What's with you right now?
[07:56] kima
    A drama?
[07:57] yuzu
    I had an audition before we set out.
[07:59] yuzu
    It's a morning drama. I'll be playing
    the best friend of the protagonist.
[08:02] hina
    No way! And you got the part?
SIGN    Shiraishi Tamiko
    It's decided! Well done!
    You passed the audition for the morning drama!
    Congratulations! Great job!

    Sent from myPhone
[08:05] kima
    That's amazing!
[08:06] yuzu
    It is great!
[08:08] yuzu
    But when the drama starts shooting,
    I'll have a lot less time.
[08:11] yuzu
    We won't be able to hang out
    together like this anymore!
[08:14] shira
    You don't like that?
[08:15] hina
    Well, even without the drama,
    we'd be living separately again anyway.
[08:20] yuzu
    B-But...
[08:21] kima
    It's okay. We're all best friends already.
[08:27] yuzu
    Best friends?
[08:28] yuzu
    Are we best friends?
[08:33] hina
    Don't cry.
[08:35] yuzu
    But didn't you say before...
[08:38] yuzu
    that you'd only just met?
[08:40] shira
    Well, at the time, that was the case.
[08:44] yuzu
    So when did you decide you were best friends?
[08:48] yuzu
    Did it happen while I was in Hokkaido?
[08:51] kima
    Well...
[08:54] yuzu
    It did, didn't it?
[08:55] hina
    Don't cry!
[08:57] yuzu
    The three of you, without me...
[08:59] hina
    Wait, wait, wait!
[09:00] yuzu
    Without ever telling me...
[09:03] kima
    Don't go outside!
[09:08] hina
    Anyway, there's nothing we've
    done without telling you!
[09:13] yuzu
    Really?
[09:15] hina
    You really don't trust anyone, do you?
[09:19] kima
    Actually, there is one
    thing we haven't told you!
[09:22] kima
    But we are still friends. All of us!
[09:28] yuzu
    Since when?
[09:30] kima
    I don't know. No time in particular...
[09:33] hina
    That's what being friends is, though!
[09:36] yuzu
    But you never told me you
    wanted to be friends.
[09:46] kana
    Let's have another productive day tomorrow!
[09:48] all
    Yeah!
[09:52] shira
    When did we become friends, huh?
[09:55] hina
    You think she was waiting this whole time
    for someone to say, "Let's be friends"?
[10:00] shira
    We could just say it.
[10:01] hina
    Hell no.
[10:03] hina
    "You're obviously just saying
    that because I made you!"
[10:06] shira
    We don't have to do it.
[10:08] shira
    How's Kimari doing?
[10:09] hina
    I dunno. She said she could handle it...
[10:13] hina
    But she's so bold about some things
    and so timid about others...

    They said we'd get to work indoors...
[10:45] hina
    But it's colder in here than it is outside!
[10:46] yuzu
    My nose is getting red!
[10:48] shira
    They're conserving energy, remember?
[10:50] shira
    We need to keep the indoor work short.

    This is all of it, right?
[10:53] yumi
    Yes, thank you.

    Next, take this.

    A chicken?
[10:58] yumi
    Yeah, because it's Christmas.
[11:00] yumi
    I want you to find somewhere
    warm to defrost it.
[11:04] yumi
    I had a few I set defrosting yesterday,
    but it doesn't look like it'll be enough.
[11:08] hina
    Somewhere warm...
[11:09] kima
    I have an idea!
[11:11] yuzu
    Go for it!
[11:12] yuzu
    And you two can stay here and help me.

    Yes, ma'am.
[11:17] kima
    That'd be the best place!

    That seems unspeakably dangerous.

    What about here, in the sun?

    It never sets here, after all!

    I don't know...
[11:30] kima
    They're both birds.
[11:31] hina
    I don't think that matters to them.
[11:33] hina
    There are penguins here, too.

    That's quite extravagant.
[11:51] shira
    Well, it is Christmas...
[11:53] yuzu
    Is Christmas that important?

    Do you know the most important
    parts of life on the station?

    No...

    We'll be living a spartan life in a

    It's time for your pick-me-up.

    You don't like Christmas?

    It's not that I don't like it...
[12:25] yuzu
    But it's like a birthday, isn't it?
[12:28] shira
    So?
[12:29] yuzu
    It's not fair, is it?
[12:31] yuzu
    Everybody has a birthday, yet there are
    people whose birthdays get celebrated,
[12:36] yuzu
    and people whose birthdays don't.
[12:49] shira
    Isn't that your song?
[12:59] kima
    You want to get the
    external shots in advance?
[13:01] hina
    Yeah.
[13:02] hina
    Since they said we might not be able
    to go outside if the wind picks up.
[13:07] yuzu
    Um...
[13:10] yuzu
    About that thing I mentioned before...
[13:12] hina
    What happened?
[13:13] yuzu
    I've decided to do the drama.
[13:16] kima
    Really?
[13:17] yuzu
    Yes. I gave it a lot of thought,
[13:20] yuzu
    and apparently some people here
    may be looking forward to it.
[13:24] hina
    Yeah, that's right!
[13:25] kima
    Yeah, yeah!
[13:27] yuzu
    So, could I ask a favor of you all?

    Oh, come on...

    This won't mean anything.

    I've been all alone before, so I know.

    No...
[14:51] yuzu
    Kimari-san!
[14:54] yuzu
    Um... after dinner, I was
    hoping to talk to you.
[15:01] kima
    Sorry, I have something
    I have to take care of.
[15:05] yuzu
    I see...
[15:09] hina
    What should we do?
[15:10] shira
    I don't know if I know what to say to her.
[15:12] hina
    Then, should we lay off?
[15:13] shira
    I didn't say that...
[15:16] hina
    Yuzu.
[15:18] hina
    Don't worry. She's not mad, or anything.
[15:22] yuzu
    But Kimari-san cried.
[15:25] shira
    I think she felt hurt.
[15:29] shira
    It's all on you.
[15:30] hina
    Don't ditch me!
[15:32] yuzu
    Have I done something strange?
[15:34] hina
    Well... I wouldn't say "strange."
[15:37] hina
    If I were in your position,
    I'd probably feel the same way.
[15:41] hina
    It's just...
[15:42] all
    Merry Christmas!
[15:44] shira
    Friendship isn't about lots of words.
[15:48] yuzu
    I hear that a lot...
[15:51] yuzu
    What is it about, then?
[15:53] hina
    Give me a break...
[15:55] hina
    It's about... feelings?
[15:59] yuzu
    Feelings?
[16:00] hina
    For instance, let's say you
    tell Kimari you like her.
[16:03] hina
    Kimari doesn't believe you, so she wants
    you to write it down on a piece of paper.
[16:08] hina
    You'd hate that, right?
    You'd feel like she didn't trust you.
[16:10] yuzu
    Well...
[16:11] kima
    Seconds, please!
[16:15] hina
    That's probably why she was crying.
[16:20] hina
    Yuzu, Kimari already sees you as a friend.
[16:24] yuzu
    But what makes us friends?
[16:26] yuzu
    How do you become friends?
[16:29] hina
    Well...
[16:30] shira
    There's probably no real way to define it.
[16:35] shira
    It's not like a parental
    or spousal relationship.
[16:38] shira
    It's more vague than that.
[16:40] shira
    No one's to blame if it fades.
[16:43] yuzu
    Oh, no...
[16:44] shira
    That's the case for me, at least.
[16:46] shira
    But that's what lets it feel unrestrained.
[16:48] shira
    That's what lets us be together.
[16:58] kana
    Merry Christmas.

    That's why I didn't want to do this!

    You're angry, aren't you?

    You didn't write back.

[18:41] kima
    sometimes half a day...
[18:44] kima
    Each time I see it, I can tell.
[18:47] kima
    "Ah, I bet she's at school right now."
[18:50] kima
    "I bet she's in bed."
[18:53] kima
    "I bet she's not sure whether
    or not she should respond."

[18:59] kima
    I can tell just how she's feeling.
[19:02] kima
    Is that weird?
[19:04] kima
    I think that's what friends are for me.
[19:08] kima
    It's totally vague, I know,
    but that's what it is for me.
[19:15] kima
    I'm sorry. I guess that
    doesn't solve anything...
[19:23] shira
    Merry Christmas!
[19:24] shira
    And...
[19:25] both
    Happy birthday!
[19:29] kima
    Yuzuki-chan, it was your
    birthday before, right?
[19:32] kima
    But we spent so long being
    seasick at the time...
[19:36] kima
    We're sorry.
[19:37] kima
    Kimari suggested that we should
    celebrate it in Antarctica.
[19:41] kima
    We had Yumiko-san set the ingredients aside.
[19:43] hina
    Well, just fill in the parts we
    messed up with your imagination.
[19:50] kima
    Yuzuki-chan...
[19:53] kima
    Happy birthday.
[19:54] hina
    Happy birthday!
[19:54] shira
    Go on, blow them out.
[20:00] kima
    Again?
[20:01] hina
    This is just like the first
    time we met you, huh?
[20:04] yuzu
    I'm not crying!
[20:06] hina
    Blow them out before they melt.
[20:09] hina
    Yuzuki-chan.
[20:10] yuzu
    No!
[20:12] yuzu
    Because...
[20:13] yuzu
    it's the first time...
[20:15] yuzu
    friends have celebrated my birthday...
[20:21] kima
    Go on, Yuzuki-chan.
[20:33] hina
    Hey!
[20:33] hina
    Oh, dear...
[20:40] yuzu
    I messed up my first time!
[21:02] yuzu
    Time for a pick-me-up!
[21:05] all
    Right!
SIGN    Sorry
SIGN    Got it! I'm on my way!
SIGN    I'm sorry
SIGN    Good morn
SIGN    Thank you
[21:20] hina
    But when the question gets put to
    you, it's hard to express it, huh?
[21:26] shira
    You mean, what friends are?
[21:27] hina
    Yeah.
[21:27] kima
    Wow, after you burn it,
    there's so little left.
[21:31] shira
    But they say when they take back a whole
    year's worth of garbage it'll be like a mountain.
SIGN    I'm Sorry Thanks
SIGN    Thanks Right?
[21:44] kima
    I get it!
SIGN    Thanks
[21:46] kima
    I think friendship is this one little word!
SIGN    Right?
[21:51] hina
    What's with that quote?
[21:53] shira
    But it's better than your quotes, Hinata.
[21:55] kima
    I know!
SIGN    Thanks Right?
[21:56] sign
    Right
