**[00:13] Henzan**
Everyone, we'll be deciding what to do
for the cultural festival tomorrow,
**[00:18] Henzan**
so start thinking about it.
**[00:19] Class**
Okay!
**[00:22] Raido**
*The cultural festival...*
**[00:26] Raido**
Oh, our exchange diary. Thanks.
**[00:32] Raido**
We have to turn in our
career path surveys next week.
**[00:35] Aharen**
Yeah.
**[00:37] Aharen**
Do you have a dream
for the future, Raido-kun?
**[00:42] Raido**
I... want to see what you do
and support that.
**[00:47] Raido**
That's my dream.
**[00:52] Raido**
What do you think?
**[00:53] Aharen**
That makes me happy, but...
**[00:55] Aharen**
You're always thinking
about things like that.
**[00:59] Aharen**
It makes me wonder,
outside of helping me,
**[01:02] Aharen**
what kind of dream...
**[01:06] Aharen**
you have for yourself.
**[01:09] Raido**
*My dream?*
***SIGN*** Episode Eleven A Cultural Festival, Huh?
**[02:48] Raido**
* A dream of my own...*
* What would that even be?*
**[02:53] Raido**
*Get a grip, Raido!*
**[02:55] Raido**
*Don't lose sight of yourself!*
**[02:57] Raido**
*It's times like this...*

I want to look back over my childhood dreams
and see if I have a knack for any of them.
**[03:10] Raido**
Will you help me out?
**[03:11] Aharen**
Of course.
**[03:13] Raido**
Thanks.

**[03:58] Raido**
I've realized something.
**[04:00] Raido**
There's... nothing to me, is there?
**[04:05] Aharen**
You've got plenty, Raido-kun.
**[04:09] Aharen**
I only realized I want to be
an art teacher because of you.
**[04:18] Aharen**
You're always so considerate
and sweet to me. Knowledgeable, too.
**[04:25] Aharen**
You explain things to me
and help me with stuff...
**[04:29] Raido**
You really see me that way?
**[04:32] Aharen**
I came to realize I want to be
a teacher who acts like you.
**[04:38] Aharen**
You've already done so much for me.
**[04:42] Aharen**
So I don't think you
should rush this for yourself.
**[04:46] Raido**
Thanks.
**[04:47] Raido**
You're right. I don't need to rush.
**[04:53] Sato**
And so, for our cultural festival project...

**[04:56] Sato**
We're going to do a chic café!
**[04:58] Ishikawa**
I'm looking forward to the cultural festival!
**[05:01] Raido**
Yeah.
**[05:02] Sato**
Okay, the next order of business
is dividing the work.
**[05:05] Sato**
First, let's see...
Who can cook and make desserts?
**[05:11] Sato**
Next, who can make costumes?
**[05:14] Sato**
Who can make the signs
and interior decorations?
**[05:19] Raido**
*Aharen-san can do anything, huh?*
**[05:22] Raido**
*And she's practically a cooking pro.*
**[05:24] Sato**
We can't have Aharen-san
handle everything, though...
**[05:30] Sato**
I know!
**[05:32] Sato**
Why don't you act as director
and oversee the whole operation?
**[05:38] Aharen**
No, I couldn't possibly.
**[05:43] Aharen**
I don't think anyone wants me in charge.
**[05:45] Raido**
*If Aharen-san really wants to be a teacher,*
**[05:48] Raido**
*this should be a great experience for her.*
**[05:51] Raido**
I think it's a good idea.
**[05:54] Raido**
Part of teaching people
is being able to guide them.
**[05:58] Raido**
Give it a try if you're up to it.
**[06:01] Oshiro**
If you want to do it,
you should give it a shot.
**[06:04] Higa**
Don't you worry about the rest of us!
**[06:07] Aharen**
You guys... But...
**[06:09] Raido**
What's important here is how *you* feel.
**[06:12] Raido**
What does your heart say?
**[06:16] Aharen**
I...
**[06:21] Aharen**
want to be the director.
**[06:24] Raido**
That settles it, then.
**[06:25] Sato**
We'll give you all the support you need!

* I'm sure this will be a small*
* but important first step*
**[06:49] Raido**
*toward her teaching dreams.*
**[06:51] Raido**
*And then there's me...
What do* I *want to do?*
**[07:03] Raido**
Good morning.
**[07:04] Aharen**
Good morning.
**[07:05] Student A**
Aharen-san.
**[07:07] Student A**
What do you think of
this text for the flyer?
**[07:09] Aharen**
It looks good.
**[07:11] Student B**
Aharen-san, how about these colors?

**[07:14] Student B**
Should we make them flashier?
**[07:16] Raido**
Yeah. Good idea.
**[07:20] Student C**
How about these, Aharen-san?
**[07:23] Raido**
*I'm worried.*
**[07:37] Riku**
They turned out okay!
**[07:38] Oshiro**
Wow! Those look tasty!
**[07:41] Aharen**
They're pretty. You did good.
**[07:44] Raido**
*That's just like Aharen-san.*
**[07:46] Raido**
* She's grasped the trick*
* to teaching people in no time.*
**[07:49] Oshiro**
Is there anything we can
help with, Reina-chan?
**[07:53] Aharen**
Well, the decorations for the
chic café aren't done yet...
**[07:57] Sato**
Then why don't we work on them
while enjoying these?
**[08:01] Aharen**
Thanks.
**[08:02] Riku**
Y-You mean it?
**[08:04] Riku**
* This is basically a girl's night!*
* Having a girl's night at a friend's house...*
**[08:08] Riku**
* This may be my first and only one!*
* It'll never happen again!*
**[08:12] Shirorin**
Shirorin!
**[08:15] Sato**
Say, I was wondering... You and Raido-kun
haven't been talking lately, have you?
**[08:20] Oshiro**
I noticed that, too. Did you have a fight?
**[08:23] Aharen**
No.
**[08:24] Sato**
You've been so busy,
I guess you just haven't had the time.
**[08:30] Sato**
But after the cultural festival,
things'll be back to normal.
**[08:36] Aharen**
Thanks.
**[08:43] Ishikawa**
Not walking home with Aharen-san again, huh?
**[08:46] Ishikawa**
Kinda weird, right?
**[08:47] Raido**
Yeah. I guess it is.
**[08:50] Ishikawa**
You don't miss her?
**[08:52] Raido**
At some point, I realized everything
I do revolves around Aharen-san.
**[08:56] Raido**
And I'm starting to think
I need more than that.
**[08:59] Raido**
So I thought I'd keep my distance...
**[09:03] Raido**
Figure out what I want to do
for my career. For myself.
**[09:05] Ishikawa**
I get you. But I don't think you
have to keep your distance.
**[09:09] Ishikawa**
You can stay by her side,
where she's a good influence,
**[09:13] Ishikawa**
and still think about your own dreams.
I can imagine that pretty easy.
**[09:16] Raido**
I see. Yeah, I suppose you've got a point.
**[09:20] Raido**
Thanks.
**[09:28] Raido**
*Aharen-san said she wants to be like me.*
**[09:33] Raido**
*But I...*
**[09:45] Raido**
*She looks busy.*
**[09:46] Raido**
* It'd just be more to take care of,*
* so I won't give it to her now.*

**[10:24] Riku**
* Staying late at school to get ready*
* for the cultural festival with friends...*
**[10:30] Riku**
*It's more fun than I hoped!*
**[10:31] Riku**
*I hope we never run out of work to do!*
**[10:34] Sato**
Are you okay?!
**[10:36] Ishikawa**
Come to think of it, we're gonna have
to get serious about studying after this.
**[10:42] Ishikawa**
Kinda feels like...
the end of something, y'know?
**[10:47] Sato**
I know what you mean.
**[10:49] Riku**
I don't ever want to finish preparing!
**[10:52] Aharen**
Hey.
**[10:54] Aharen**
About tomorrow...
**[10:58] Aharen**
There was something
I want to show you all.
**[11:01] Aharen**
Is that okay?
**[11:03] Ishikawa**
Oh, I'm looking forward to this!
**[11:07] Aharen**

It's over... It's all over!
**[11:27] Sato**
The festival hasn't even started yet.
**[11:30] Aharen**
Hey...
**[11:31] Riku**
What is it?
**[11:33] Riku**
I want to take a group picture.
**[11:36] Oshiro**
Sounds good! Let's do it.
**[11:39] Oshiro**
Here we go!
**[11:43] Sato**
I'll go and tell the teacher we're done.
**[11:45] Sato**
You all can get ready to go.
**[11:48] Ishikawa**
Hey, hang on.
**[11:50] Ishikawa**
Let's explore the school at night!
**[11:53] Oshiro**
*The school at night?*
**[11:55] riku**
*Exploring?*
**[11:57] Sato**
But that's...
We really should be getting home.
**[12:00] Oshiro**
I'm sure a little won't hurt.
**[12:02] Raido**
I'm kind of into this.
**[12:04] Riku**
Don't let it end!
**[12:06] Riku**
Just a little longer!
**[12:08] Ishikawa**
That settles it, then.

Hey, w-wait up!

**[12:37] Aharen**

Have you seen Aharen-san?
**[13:40] Aharen**
No, I haven't. What's wrong?
**[13:43] Sato**
She said she was coming early,
but no one's seen her.
**[13:47] Sato**
And she's not responding to messages.
She might have just overslept, but...
**[13:52] Raido**
No. She let me know when she was
leaving the house this morning.

Do you know where she is?
**[14:11] Raido**
I'm not certain, but I have an idea.
**[14:14] Raido**
Except... if she chose not to come today,
**[14:19] Raido**
I think it might be a good idea
to give her some space.
**[14:22] Ishikawa**
I doubt that's the case.
**[14:25] Ishikawa**
It's possible she's run into trouble.
**[14:27] Ishikawa**
Besides, she'll be thrilled to see you.
**[14:31] Raido**
Ishikawa...
**[14:32] Riku**
That's right! Hurry and go to her!
**[14:35] Oshiro**
If you're not sure what the right answer is,
why not follow your heart?
**[14:41] Raido**
Follow my heart?
**[14:47] Raido**
Got it.
**[14:49] Raido**
Thanks, guys.
**[14:52] Raido**
I'll be back.
**[14:54] Riku**
Go, go!
**[14:54] Ishikawa**
You've got this, Raido!
**[15:12] Aharen**
I really messed up.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Ren**
Reina-neenee, you look tired.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Eru**
I'm worried about you. Maybe it'd be
better to take the bus today.
**[15:48] Aharen**
I missed my stop.
**[15:50] Aharen**
My phone's out of battery.
**[15:52] Aharen**
And the next bus doesn't come for a while.
**[15:56] Aharen**
The cultural festival must
have started by now.
**[16:00] Aharen**
What am I doing?
**[16:03] Aharen**
Everyone's bound to be mad now.
**[16:06] Raido**
No, they're not.
**[16:11] Aharen**
What are you doing here, Raido-kun?
**[16:17] Raido**
I thought I saw you on a bus this morning.
**[16:22] Raido**
No one's mad about what
happened, Aharen-san.
**[16:26] Aharen**
Really?
**[16:28] Raido**
The café should be running fine
thanks to everything you did to prepare.
**[16:33] Raido**
So you don't need to worry.
**[16:36] Aharen**
I guess not.
**[16:38] Aharen**
In that case...
**[16:41] Aharen**
I guess it doesn't matter if I make it back.
**[16:46] Raido**
If you don't want to go back,
then I'll stay with you, Aharen-san.
**[16:51] Raido**
But... I want you to hear from the others.

*Come whenever you're ready! We'll be waiting.*
**[17:05] Raido**
You've got nothing to beat
yourself up for, Aharen-san.
**[17:09] Aharen**
Thank you.
**[17:11] Raido**
Aharen-san, you're a good influence on
the people around you just by being present.
**[17:18] Aharen**
I'm not that great...
**[17:21] Raido**
Yes, you are.
**[17:22] Aharen**
I need to apologize to you
for something, Raido-kun.
**[17:27] Raido**
What's that?
**[17:28] Aharen**
Sorry. When I was cleaning up,
our exchange diary fell out...
**[17:34] Aharen**
And I saw what you wrote.
**[17:36] Raido**
I see.
**[17:38] Aharen**
What you said...

*Aharen-san said she wants to be like me.*

I've realized I want
to be like you, Aharen-san.
**[18:24] Aharen**
Raido-kun...
**[18:27] Raido**
I still don't know what
I wanna do in the future.
**[18:30] Raido**
But, if nothing else, I'm going
to give my all in the present.
**[18:34] Raido**
Because I know the time we have now
is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
**[18:41] Raido**
Which is why...
**[18:43] Raido**
I want to be by your side
**[18:45] Raido**
and help make sure the
cultural festival is a success.
**[19:03] Aharen**
I want to run the cultural festival
with you and the others, too!
**[19:10] Raido**
We're on the same page.
**[19:12] Aharen**
Yeah.
**[19:15] Raido**
In that case, let's head back together.

in their art display.
**[21:09] Oshiro**
Wow, this is impressive!
**[21:12] Aharen**
I wanted to try something like this.
**[21:15] Raido**
I think it looks great!
**[21:16] Aharen**
Now, as for what I wanted to show you...
**[21:20] Aharen**
Over here.
**[21:23] Raido**
What is this?
**[21:28] Raido**
It's a documentary about us?
**[21:30] Aharen**
Some of it is pictures I took
or got from other people.
**[21:35] Aharen**
Videos, too. I edited them
together to make this.
**[21:47] Aharen**
Even if we all end up on different paths...
**[21:52] Aharen**
I wanted to leave a record
of the time we spent together.
**[21:58] Raido**
Yeah. Good idea.
**[22:01] Raido**
No matter how the world might change...
**[22:04] Raido**
Nothing changes the fact that we were here.
