**[00:00] Rin**
This pic's from when we went to the zoo.
**[00:04] Rin**
We went to celebrate my recovery
from my ankle sprain.
**[00:08] Rin**
Man, Kyouya-san's *such* a hunk!
**[00:12] [Messenger] Sign**
Are you two going out already?
**[00:13] Rin**
Hmm? Uh...
**[00:15] Rin**
I don't know. He hasn't asked me
to be his girlfriend or anything.
**[00:20] Rin**
I've heard that older men tend not to do that.
**[00:24] Rin**
What did Itsuomi-san say to you
when he asked you out?
***SIGN*** I want you, Yuki.
**[00:34] Rin**
Whoa.
**[00:35] Itsuomi**
Don't ask about that.
**[00:37] Itsuomi**
It's for the couple to know, and nobody else.
**[00:40] Itsuomi**
Oh, sorry, did I startle you?
**[00:44] Yuki**
*Itsuomi-san.*
**[00:49] Itsuomi**
What's up?
***SIGN*** Promise
***SIGN*** Crêpes
**[02:22] Itsuomi**
Wow.
**[02:24] Itsuomi**
Looking good together.
**[02:25] Rin**
You think so?
**[02:27] Itsuomi**
I'm glad Kyouya's finally
taking this stuff seriously.
**[02:31] Rin**
What stuff?
**[02:33] Itsuomi**
His love life?
**[02:33] Rin**
Squee! Stop that, Itsuomi-san!
**[02:36] Rin**
Oh, I gotta go.
**[02:39] Rin**
See you two later.
**[02:42] Yuki**
*Rin-chan's giving us space, huh?*
**[02:49] Itsuomi**
What are your plans for today?
**[02:52] [Messenger] Sign**
I have the interview for the part-time
job after 4th period. The café owner,
Madoka-chan's aunt, will conduct it.
**[02:54] Itsuomi**
Ooh, about time.
**[02:58] Yuki**
* The moment we started dating is still fresh*
* in my mind, so now I'm all self-conscious.*
**[03:07] Itsuomi**
You look nervous.
**[03:09] Itsuomi**
It's not a formal interview, right?
Just saying hello?
**[03:12] Yuki**
*Right now, I'm nervous because of you!*
**[03:17] [SONG] Sign**
Itsuomi-san,
***SIGN*** Itsuomi-san,
***SIGN*** do you ever get nervous?
**[03:19] [SONG] Sign**
do you ever get nervous?
**[03:22] Itsuomi**
Uh...
**[03:25] Itsuomi**
I guess?
**[03:26] Yuki**
*So he doesn't.*
**[03:28] Itsuomi**
Oh, but I have freaked out before.
**[03:32] Itsuomi**
This big cruise ship I was on was swinging
from end-to-end like a pendulum.
**[03:39] Itsuomi**
It nearly got wrecked.
**[03:42] [SONG] Sign**
I'm glad you survived...
***SIGN*** I'm glad you survived...
**[03:44] Itsuomi**
Me too.
**[03:50] Itsuomi**
Yuki.
**[03:52] Itsuomi**
Hold out your hands.
**[04:00] Itsuomi**
Ich drücke dir die Daumen.
**[04:04] [Messenger] Sign**
It's a gesture used in Germany
to reassure or encourage someone.
**[04:04] [Messenger] Sign**
The café owner, Madoka-chan's
aunt, will conduct it.
**[04:06] Yuki**
*In Germany? Wow.*
**[04:09] [Messenger] Sign**
What does it mean?
**[04:10] Yuki**
*What does it mean?*
**[04:12] [Messenger] Sign**
"I'll keep my fingers crossed for you."
**[04:12] Itsuomi**
"I'll keep my fingers crossed for you."
**[04:16] Yuki**
*Wow, so it's like a good-luck charm.*
**[04:23] Itsuomi**
Good luck.
**[04:26] Yuki**
*Itsuomi-san...*
**[04:28] Yuki**
*I can tell so much from just that.*
**[04:32] Yuki**
*It feels like he's giving me this big old hug.*
**[04:35] Yuki**
*I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside...?!*
**[04:37] Yuki**
*I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside...?!*
**[04:42] Itsuomi**
So what if people see us? I don't mind.
**[04:45] Yuki**
*I certainly do!*
**[04:48] Itsuomi**
Oh, it's almost time for third period.
**[04:51] Itsuomi**
I should get going.
**[04:56] Itsuomi**
I like this hairstyle, too.
**[05:00] Yuki**
*E...*
**[05:01] Yuki**
*Every time.*
**[05:03] Yuki**
*He keeps dropping these bombs on me.*
**[05:08] Itsuomi**
Hello?
**[05:09] Shin**
Itsu-kun, it's me.
**[05:11] Itsuomi**
*Oh, Shin, what's up?*
**[05:14] Shin**
Has Emma gone to see you lately?
**[05:18] Itsuomi**
Nope. She hasn't contacted me, either.
**[05:21] Shin**
*Oh...*
**[05:23] Shin**
* Sorry. I still haven't managed*
* to tell her about your girlfriend.*
**[05:28] Itsuomi**
*It's okay. I know you're in a tough spot.*
**[05:31] Shin**
I'll see her this weekend.
**[05:34] Shin**
And this time, I'll tell her.
**[05:37] Itsuomi**
*Got it. Let me know.*
**[05:40] Shin**
Sure.
**[05:42] Yuki**
*Urk.*
**[05:44] Yuki**
* I'm starting to get worried*
* about the interview.*
**[05:48] Yuki**
*Ich drücke dir die Daumen!*
**[05:51] Yuki**
*Okay, I'm good.*
**[05:54] Yuki**
*Café Grand Blue...*
***SIGN*** Yummy Coffee and Snacks
**[05:56] Yuki**
*It should be around here.*
**[06:00] Yuki**
*She's standing tall outside...*
**[06:03] Yuki**
*Is she Madoka-chan's aunt?*
**[06:07] Aki**
Oh, Yuki-chan?
**[06:12] Aki**
That should do it for the interview.
**[06:14] Aki**
Thank you for your time.
**[06:16] Aki**
With that out of the way,
**[06:19] Aki**
I look forward to working with you, Yuki-chan.
**[06:22] Aki**
It really sounds like you'll be a great help.
**[06:26] Aki**
It's usually pretty chill on weekdays,
**[06:28] Aki**
but things get busy on weekends, so good luck.
**[06:31] Aki**
We all turn into working robots.
**[06:36] Aki**
That's the spirit!
**[06:38] Aki**
Let's do our best together!
**[06:41] Yuki**
*Oh, Madoka-chan has this side to her too.*
***SIGN*** Yummy Coffee and Snacks
**[06:47] Aki**
I'm happy I got to see you today.
**[06:51] Aki**
I've wanted to meet Madoka's
friends for the longest time.
**[06:57] Aki**
The cheer came back to her when she
started going to the school for the deaf.
**[07:01] Aki**
So I've been wanting to repay the people
in her social circle in some way.
**[07:07] [Messenger] Sign**
Madoka-chan was
the life of our party.
**[07:10] Aki**
You mean she's just a walking ruckus.
**[07:13] Aki**
Take care on your way back!
**[07:22] Yuki**
*I finally found a job!*
**[07:25] Yuki**
* Oh, I should tell Itsuomi-san.*
* I hope it makes him happy.*
**[07:31] [Messenger] Sign**
I landed the job!
***SIGN*** Yaaay
**[07:37] [Messenger] Sign**
Buy some okonomiyaki sauce
on your way home, please
**[07:38] Yuki**
*Mom.*
**[07:43] Yuki**
*Let's see...*
**[07:45] Yuki**
*Where's the lady who always gestures for me?*
***SIGN*** Do you have a
loyalty card?
**[07:49] Yuki**
*Found her. I'll line up there.*
***SIGN*** Okonomiyaki Sauce
Sweet
**[07:56] M. Staff**
Ma'am, I'll ring you up at the next register.
**[08:00] Yuki**
*That surprised me...*
**[08:02] Yuki**
*Huh? Over there?*
**[08:08] Yuki**
*Hmm?*
**[08:09] Yuki**
*Did his mask just move?*
**[08:15] Yuki**
*Are you asking if I brought my own bag?*
**[08:21] Yuki**
*A loyalty card?*
**[08:24] Oushi**
Oh, nah, we're good.
**[08:28] Yuki**
*Oushi-kun.*
**[08:31] Oushi**
He was asking if you collected
the discount campaign stickers.
**[08:34] Yuki**
*Ah...*
**[08:37] Oushi**
A mask makes it hard to lip-read, doesn't it?
**[08:47] Yuki**
*As thanks. These are great.*
**[08:49] Oushi**
Nah... Well, I guess I'll take it.
**[08:53] Oushi**
Even going to the supermarket
is an ordeal, huh?
**[08:56] Oushi**
*Call me, and I'll go with you anytime.*
**[09:01] Yuki**
*What's going on?*
**[09:03] Yuki**
*You're being kinda nice.*
**[09:13] [Messenger] Sign**
I landed the job!
***SIGN*** Yaaay
**[09:13] [Messenger] Sign**
Grats.
**[09:14] Yuki**
*Itsuomi-san...*
**[09:21] Oushi**
From whom? That guy?
**[09:24] Oushi**
You two are dating, right?
**[09:27] Yuki**
*How do you know that?!*
**[09:29] Oushi**
I went drinking with him.
**[09:31] Yuki**
*What the... When did you become friends?!*
**[09:33] Oushi**
We didn't!
***SIGN*** If he...
**[09:39] Oushi**
*If he...*
***SIGN*** ever
**[09:41] Oushi**
*ever makes you cry or hurts you,*
***SIGN*** makes you cry or hurts you,
***SIGN*** tell me
**[09:45] Oushi**
*tell me about it.*
***SIGN*** about it.
**[09:50] Oushi**
*I hate him, so I'll deal with him for you.*
**[09:59] Yuki**
* Did you not realize when you*
* went drinking with him?*
**[10:04] Yuki**
*It's hard for anyone to hate Itsuomi-san.*
**[10:09] Yuki**
*He's really nice...*
**[10:14] Oushi**
Don't praise him.
**[10:17] Yuki**
*Huh?*
**[10:19] Oushi**
Don't sign that stuff in front of me.
**[10:32] Oushi**
Sorry. Did that hurt?
**[10:43] Yuki**
* That was the first time he ever*
* stopped me in the middle of signing.*
***SIGN*** Is something wrong?
**[10:49] Yuki**
* I could ask him a bunch of questions*
* like, "Is something wrong?",*
**[10:53] Yuki**
* but I feel like they would all*
* miss the mark somewhat.*
**[10:57] Yuki**
*Oushi-kun really is acting different today.*
**[11:02] Yuki**
*It's like he's become someone I don't know.*
**[11:10] Boya**
Hurry up!
**[11:13] Boya**
Shaddup!
**[11:15] Boyb**
Shut up!
**[11:17] Boya**
Here comes the train!
**[11:20] Boya**
So loud!
**[11:21] Boyb**
My ears!
**[11:32] Pa**
* We have performed an emergency stop*
* due to a malfunction in the train ahead.*
**[11:37] Pa**
* We will remain stopped while*
* it undergoes a safety check.*
**[11:40] Pa**
*We apologize for the inconvenience caused.*
**[11:43] (Flashback) Oushi**
Yuki.
**[11:44] Passengera**
Seriously?
**[11:45] (Flashback) Passengerb**
What? That sucks!
**[11:45] Passengerc**
How long's this gonna take?
**[11:48] Oushi**
*Yuki couldn't hear the announcement.*
**[11:50] Oushi**
* She looked lost because*
* she didn't know what was going on.*
**[11:54] Oushi**
* Part of it was because I couldn't*
* walk over to her in that packed train,*
**[11:58] Oushi**
* but I mainly felt terrible I couldn't*
* use sign to tell her anything.*
**[12:04] Oushi**
* That was what led me to start*
* studying sign language for real.*
**[12:11] Oushi**
* I probably wanted to make the world*
* a better place for her in my own way.*
**[12:18] Oushi**
* I just wish I could've been*
* more upfront about it.*
**[12:23] Oushi**
Yuki, do you think something's
off with me today?
**[12:27] Yuki**
*Not "off," but you're not your usual self.*
**[12:34] Oushi**
I'm just trying not to be
so prickly all the time.
**[12:40] Yuki**
*Huh? Why isn't he signing?*
**[12:44] Yuki**
*Did you get into a fight with someone?*
**[12:47] Oushi**
Like who?
**[12:49] Oushi**
Well, I guess you could call it a "fight"...
**[13:01] Yuki**
*When I started college...*
**[13:07] Yuki**
* I was surrounded by strangers, who*
* obviously knew nothing about my disability.*

**[13:53] Oushi**
That's your conclusion?!
**[14:01] Oushi**
Well, I'll take it.
**[14:04] Oushi**
Roger that.
**[14:09] Yuki**
*After all these years, it just hit me.*
**[14:12] Yuki**
*How much do I really know about Oushi-kun?*
**[14:18] Yuki**
* I don't know if he'll take*
* what I just said to heart...*
**[14:25] Yuki**
*but I hope he cheers up soon.*

Hello?
**[14:37] Shin**
*Emma, is now a good time?*
**[14:40] Emma**
Yeah, I just got off work. What's up?
**[14:45] Shin**
Do you have time this weekend?
**[14:48] Shin**
Yeah. Anywhere you wanna go.
**[14:51] Shin**
*But somewhere quiet where we can talk.*
**[14:53] Emma**
Huh? What're we talking about this time?
**[14:57] Shin**
*I'll tell you when we meet.*
**[15:01] Shin**
Oh, okay. I'll let you know
when I think of something.
**[15:06] Shin**
*Thanks. Later.*
**[15:09] Emma**
Yeah...
**[15:12] Emma**
Shin-chan?

Welcome on board.
**[15:17] Aki**
First, memorize where the cutlery
and cookware are stored.
**[15:23] Aki**
These burr mills are for grinding coffee beans.
**[15:26] Aki**
We hand-drip our coffee.
**[15:28] Aki**
When a customer walks in, prep the water
glasses and wet towels here, okay?
**[15:36] Aki**
Okay.
**[15:37] Aki**
Let's give it a shot.
**[15:40] Aki**
Welcome!
**[15:52] Aki**
Here's your staff meal.

going to use your pay on?

Better put in the work, then!
**[16:16] Aki**
Okay, eat up and get ready
for the afternoon shift!
**[16:27] [Messenger] Sign**
Today
**[16:27] [Messenger] Sign**
I'm here.
**[16:34] Emma**
Shin-chan.
**[16:36] Emma**
Sorry, did you wait long?
**[16:38] Emma**
I got us your favorite caffè mochas.
**[16:44] Emma**
This place is really pretty at night.
**[16:47] Emma**
I thought it'd be much darker here.
**[16:50] Shin**
Well, the moon's out.
**[16:52] Emma**
I chose here 'cause I heard there're fancy
cafés and food trucks during the day.
**[17:00] Shin**
Emma.
**[17:02] Shin**
Take a seat.
**[17:04] Emma**
Okay.
**[17:10] Emma**
Shin-chan, you haven't been
drinking at all lately, have you?
**[17:20] Emma**
Did something happen?
**[17:24] Shin**
Itsu-kun has a girlfriend.
**[17:35] Emma**
Oh.
**[17:37] Emma**
Sorry. I guess I put an
extra load on your mind.
**[17:44] Shin**
You've got me.
**[17:46] Shin**
I'm not saying this to console you.
**[17:48] Shin**
If anything, it's what I want.
**[17:53] Shin**
Just pick me.
**[17:55] Emma**
What are you even saying?
**[17:58] Shin**
I'm being serious.
**[18:00] Emma**
Listen.
**[18:02] Emma**
We've known each other
for years and years now.
**[18:05] Emma**
Yes, there were times when I thought
that maybe you were into me.
**[18:09] Emma**
But do you remember?
**[18:11] Emma**
When your girlfriend said she knew you
were in love with me anyway, you replied...
**[18:17] (Flashback) Shin**
Emma's the one person
I will never fall for, even if it kills me.
**[18:22] Shin**
Well, I was planning on taking it to my grave.
**[18:30] Emma**
Huh?!
**[18:36] Yuki**
*Goodnight, guys.*
**[18:39] Yuki**
*I wonder if Itsuomi-san's still working.*
**[18:43] Yuki**
*I haven't gotten to see him lately.*
**[18:49] [Messenger] Sign**
You asleep?
**[18:50] Yuki**
*Oh, Itsuomi-san!*
**[18:54] [Messenger] Sign**
I'm awake.
**[18:56] [Messenger] Sign**
Gimme a bit.
**[18:57] Yuki**
*Hmm?*
**[19:01] Yuki**
*Not a peep since.*
**[19:04] [Messenger] Sign**
You asleep?
**[19:04] [Messenger] Sign**
I'm awake.
**[19:04] [Messenger] Sign**
Gimme a bit.
**[19:04] [Messenger] Sign**
Sure.
**[19:05] Yuki**
*Itsuomi-san?*
**[19:07] [Messenger] Sign**
Outside.
**[19:09] Yuki**
*"Outside"?*
**[19:14] Yuki**
*Huh? Why?!*
**[19:17] [SONG] Sign**
You look surprised.
***SIGN*** You look surprised.
**[19:19] [SONG] Sign**
What are you doing here?
***SIGN*** What are you doing here?
**[19:23] Yuki**
* Maybe he can't see*
* because of the light behind me.*
**[19:26] Yuki**
*I'll come downstairs!*
**[19:28] [SONG] Sign**
Nah, I'm gonna head out.
***SIGN*** Nah, I'm gonna head out.
**[19:30] Yuki**
*Huh? He's leaving?*
**[19:33] Yuki**
*I couldn't read the signs too well in the dark.*
**[19:36] Yuki**
* The night is blocking the things*
* I want to say to him.*
**[19:58] Itsuomi**
You okay there?
**[20:02] Yuki**
*I was just so happy I got to see you!*
**[20:06] Itsuomi**
Yeah, we haven't met for a few days.
**[20:11] Itsuomi**
Well, you're dressed light.
**[20:14] Yuki**
*Wait, I'm in PJs!*
**[20:27] Itsuomi**
Were you about to go to sleep?
**[20:31] Itsuomi**
I was just in the nick of time, huh?
**[20:33] Itsuomi**
Sign language is good for
communicating over distances,
**[20:38] Itsuomi**
but it's hard without good lighting, huh?
**[20:41] Yuki**
*Itsuomi-san...*
**[20:44] Yuki**
* When he holds me tight,*
* I can feel the vibrations when he talks.*
**[20:49] Yuki**
*It's melting away my frustration from before.*
**[20:57] Itsuomi**
How was your first day at work?
**[20:59] Yuki**
* I was nervous, but the day*
* flew by in an instant.*
**[21:03] Itsuomi**
Great.
**[21:05] Yuki**
* Meetings like these are going*
* to get rarer as we go.*
**[21:11] Yuki**
* I'll do my best to cut costs*
* and save money for a while.*
**[21:16] Itsuomi**
Just don't stretch it too thin.
Including your time.
**[21:20] Itsuomi**
There are plenty of things
out there to do for free.
**[21:24] Itsuomi**
We can line up our schedules and go on dates
for half a day, or even just a few hours.
**[21:30] Itsuomi**
We haven't made plans and gone anywhere
since we started dating, huh?
**[21:35] Itsuomi**
On that note, where would you like to go?
**[21:40] Yuki**
*Are you sure I can pick?*
**[21:44] Yuki**
* I was so focused on saving money and*
* traveling overseas that I didn't realize.*
**[21:50] Yuki**
*Of course it's okay to plan other things, too.*
**[21:55] Yuki**
* I get to choose where to go*
* on my first date with Itsuomi-san...*
**[21:59] Itsuomi**
Man, I'm really looking forward to it.
**[22:03] Yuki**
*Oh, boy.*
**[22:05] Yuki**
*Where should we go?*
