[00:10] Teacher
    The span of time before we had written
    accounts of history is called prehistory.
[00:13] Raido
    The girl who sits next to me,
    Aharen Reina-san...
[00:18] Teacher
    And as far as prehistory goes...
[00:20] Raido
    seems distant for some reason.

    Welcome, New Students
[01:58] Miyahira
    Congratulations on your enrollment, everyone.
[02:02] Miyahira
    I'm Miyahira, your homeroom teacher.
SIGN    Episode One Isn't This Too Close?
[02:05] Miyahira
    I teach physical education.
[02:08] Miyahira
    It's nice to meet you.
[02:11] Miyahira
    Now, why don't you all introduce yourselves?
[02:15] Raido
    My name's Raido.
[02:17] Raido
    Nice to meet you.
[02:20] Raido
    I was so nervous I could barely talk...
[02:24] Raido
    High school's going to be different.
[02:28] Raido
    I never really fit in in middle school
    because of how unfriendly I look.
[02:35] Raido
    But that ends now.
[02:35] Miyahira
    Next, please.
[02:38] Raido
    Step one is getting to know
    whoever sits next to me.
[02:42] Raido
    First, I need to learn their name...
[02:51] Raido
    I missed her introduction, huh?
[02:54] Sign
    Aharen
[02:56] Raido
    There!
[02:58] Raido
    Good morning, Aharen-san.
[03:05] Raido
    I hope we'll be good seatmates.
[03:13] Raido
    The cold shoulder, huh?
[03:17] Raido
    I get it. She must be afraid of how I look.
[03:20] Raido
    I practiced for this... Smile. Smile.
[03:24] Raido
    Smile! There.
[03:27] Raido
    Nice weather today, isn't it, Aharen-san?
[03:33] Raido
    No dice, huh?
[03:35] Raido
    I can't give up, though.
[03:37] Raido
    My wonderful high school life
    is riding on this first step!
[03:46] Raido
    The campus is pretty big, huh?
[03:48] Raido
    The bread at the school store
    is supposed to be good.
[03:50] Raido
    Do you know what club you'll join?
     Isn't deciding hard?
[03:56] Raido
    Not a single response, huh?
[03:59] Raido
    I can't let this get to me!
[04:01] Raido
    I'll give up on a flashy new life
    in high school...
[04:05] Raido
    I just want her to talk to me. Just once.
[04:14] Raido
    She never said a thing...
[04:18] Raido
    Might as well go home.
[04:22] Raido
    Bye, Aharen-san.
[04:26] Raido
    See you tomorrow.
[04:34] Raido
    I must've imagined it...
[04:44] Raido
    She really does feel distant.
    It's like she's so far away...
[04:49] Raido
    even though she's sitting next to me.
[04:52] Raido
    She's petite, too.
[04:55] Raido
    Maybe it's messing with my depth perception.
[05:10] Raido
    Does she... not like me?
[05:14] Raido
    Here. You dropped this.
[05:19] Raido
    Still nothing, huh?
[05:25] Male Teacher
    Okay, that's all for today.
[05:27] Male Teacher
    Don't forget your homework.
[05:28] Raido
    Next class is...
[05:32] Raido
    Wh-What is it?
[05:36] Raido
    Do you need something?
[05:41] Raido
    Are you saying something...?
[05:44] Raido
    She is saying something!
[05:46] Raido
    She's right in my face,
    but she still sounds so far away!
[05:49] Raido
    Wait...
[05:51] Raido
    Maybe back then...
[05:54] Raido
    Did she actually say something?
[05:58] Raido
    Isn't this a little too close, though?
[06:01] Raido
    Oh, you forget your book?
[06:04] Math Teacher
    An expression that made of multiple
     monomials is called a polynomial.
[06:09] Math Teacher
    And the monomials that make up
    the polynomial are called its "terms."
[06:12] Raido
    What is she thinking?
[06:14] Raido
    Well, I guess it's fine.
[06:16] Raido
    Her face and hands are really tiny.
    She's like a doll.
[06:25] Raido
    Seriously, isn't this too close?
[06:27] Raido
    What is it? Did you need something else?
[06:32] Raido
    I guess she wants to eat lunch together.
[06:35] Raido
    And she's still so close!
[06:39] Raido
    Kinda oversized, don't you think?
[06:43] Raido
    Y-Your lunch looks good.
[06:49] Raido
    She's feeding me?
[06:51] Raido
    You don't need to...
[06:53] Raido
    Okay, I'll try it, so stop.
[07:01] Raido
    She ate the whole thing.
[07:03] Raido
    She's got a way bigger appetite
    than you'd think.
[07:11] Raido
    I guess we're walking home together, too.
[07:20] Raido
    You want to go in here?
[07:26] Raido
    She wanted to stop at a photo booth?
[07:29] Raido
    What now?
[07:32] Sign
    The world becomes rainbow colored
    I hear the meow, oh, the meow
[07:34] Raido
    Karaoke, huh?
[07:37] Raido
    The mic's not picking her voice up, is it?
[07:42] Raido
    I wonder why she suddenly became so friendly.
[07:54] Raido
    Good morning, Aharen-san.
[08:08] Raido
    And yet when I greet her, I get nothing.
[08:11] Raido
    It's really hard to tell with her.
[08:13] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[08:15] Raido
    Was she just acting weird yesterday?
[08:18] Raido
    I guess that's fine, too.

[08:25] Raido
    That said...
[08:34] Raido
    If you forgot your book, wanna share mine?
[08:40] Aharen
    But I... don't want to bother you...
[08:44] Raido
    It's okay. It's not a bother.
[08:47] Aharen
    I...
[08:49] Aharen
    I've never been good with people...
[08:54] Aharen
    I don't know how close to get.
[08:59] Aharen
    I got too friendly when people
    were even a little nice,
[09:05] Aharen
    and they didn't like it...
    so they kept their distance.
[09:11] Aharen
    I wanted to stop acting like that
    now that I'm in high school.
[09:16] Aharen
    I was trying to be careful, but...
[09:19] Aharen
    Yesterday you picked up my eraser
    and talked to me, Raido-kun...
[09:29] Aharen
    And I was really glad.
[09:32] Aharen
    But when I got home,
    I thought I might've overdone it again.
[09:38] Aharen
    I'm sorry. I won't do it any—
[09:42] Raido
    I don't think that kinda thing's a big deal.
[09:45] Raido
    And as long as you don't
    go overboard, it's fine.
[09:58] Aharen
    Thank you.
[10:01] Raido
    O-Okay, but could you let go?
    C-Class is starting.
[10:07] Aharen
    Mm.
[10:09] Teacher
    Now, if you'll turn to the next page...
[10:11] Teacher
    We have the recorded portion
    of the past, which we call history,
[10:13] Raido
    She didn't let go, huh?
[10:15] Teacher
    and then prehistory,
    which predates said records.
[10:17] Raido
    It's really hard to tell with her...
[10:23] Raido
    In more ways than one.
[10:34] Raido
    Aharen-san?
[10:36] Raido
    Wh-What's the matter?
[10:40] Raido
    You were calling for me but I didn't notice?
[10:43] Raido
    Sorry.
[10:45] Raido
    What was that?
[10:48] Raido
    Aharen-san's voice is so quiet that I keep
    missing things, which is tough...
[10:53] Raido
    Is there a way around this?

[11:03] Raido
    If I can master this, I'll be able to talk
    to her no matter how quiet she's being.
[11:08] Raido
    And so... I need to practice
    with you, little sis.
[11:12] Sister
    Ugh, so annoying.
[11:15] Sister
    Fine, let's get started.
[11:16] Sister
    You're a dumb brother!

[11:26] BG Chatter
    Good morning.
[11:32] Raido
    Okay, I've mastered lipreading.
[11:35] Raido
    Try saying something.
[11:50] Raido
    Her lips are barely moving, huh?
[11:57] Raido
    There must be another way...
[12:06] Raido
    That's it!
[12:10] Raido
    When you need to talk to me,
[12:12] Raido
    write a note on a slip of paper
    and throw it my way.
[12:19] Sign
    Hello
[12:21] Raido
    Okay, this is working.
    Keep it up, Aharen-san.
[12:34] Raido
    You know what, Aharen-san?
    Let's stop.
[12:40] Raido
    Wait...
[12:42] Raido
    When she grabbed me,
    I could hear her pretty clearly.
[12:46] Raido
    Was it because she was close?
[12:49] Raido
    No!
[12:50] Raido
    What if it was bone conduction?
[12:53] Raido
    I've got it, Aharen-san. Bone conduction!
[12:56] Raido
    Let's try that next.

    Shirorin!
[13:01] Raido
    Good morning, Aha—
[13:03] Raido
    You forgot—
[13:05] Raido
    Lunch—
[13:08] Raido
    No dice. This is making my ears ring,
     not helping me hear.
[13:14] Raido
    I won't give up though, Aharen-san!
[13:20] Raido
    I should try some other options.
[13:24] Raido
    I'm heading to school.

[13:57] Aharen
    You've been trying all kinds
    of things for me. Thank you.
[14:01] Aharen
    But it doesn't look like
    anything worked... I'm sorry.
[14:06] Raido
    No, I should be the one apologizing.
[14:09] Raido
    You seem to want to talk
    to me a lot, Aharen-san.
[14:13] Raido
    And I feel bad for not always
    being able to hear you.
[14:19] Aharen
    No, it's okay.
[14:23] Aharen
    Thank you.
[14:25] Raido
    And I'm sorry for making you push yourself.
[14:28] Aharen
    Push myself?
[14:29] Raido
    I mean, you're talking louder
    than usual, aren't you?
[14:33] Aharen
    Not really. This is how I always talk.
[14:36] Aharen
    I'm not being any louder.
[14:42] Raido
    I-If you say so.
[14:50] Raido
    Going home together's become
    part of our routine, huh?
[14:54] Raido
    What was that earlier, though?
[14:58] Raido
    A 10-yen coin and a 50-yen coin!

    Aw, man...
[15:02] Young Man B
    What're you doing?

    Seriously.
[15:05] Raido
    Is my hearing getting better?
[15:08] Raido
    I see.
[15:09] Raido
    Talking with Aharen-san has made me
    sensitive to even the softest sounds...
[15:22] Raido
    Does she really need to crawl all over it?
[15:25] Raido
    Maybe she wants that plushie.
[15:28] Raido
    Okay!
[15:29] Raido
    I'll nab one.
[15:58] Raido
    M-Maybe we should go, Aharen-san...
[16:02] Raido
    W-We did play a lot, so...
[16:05] Raido
    Aharen-san?
[16:08] Raido
    Starting with 500 yen?!
[16:11] Raido
    She's really set on getting one.
[16:13] Raido
    But she can't really see from above...

[16:24] Raido
    Is Aharen-san a regular around here?

[16:35] Raido
    Isn't this hard for her
    with distance judgment issues?
[16:40] Raido
    First try!
[16:43] Raido
    Congratulations. That was impressive.
[16:45] Raido
    Aharen-san's good at this.
[16:48] Raido
    Wait!
[16:50] Raido
    She was doing that to gauge its position.
[16:54] Raido
    But she got one on her first try.
    She's got extra credits left.
[16:59] Raido
    I wonder where she'll go next...

    The same one, huh?

[17:25] Raido
    Well, now that you've caught a bunch,
    why don't we head home, Aharen-san?
[17:36] Raido
    Does she still want more?
[17:38] Raido
    Is she after every prize in the joint?
[17:40] Raido
    What a terror!
[17:43] Raido
    For me?
[17:44] Aharen
    You seemed to want it, Raido-kun.
[17:48] Raido
    She wasn't after them for her, then.
[17:52] Aharen
    And you did a lot for me today...
    I wanted to thank you.
[18:00] Raido
    Thanks.
[18:02] Raido
    I wasn't expecting all of them.
[18:05] Raido
    You can have one, Aharen-san.
[18:10] Raido
    As thanks for winning them.
[18:15] Aharen
    Thank you.
[18:19] Raido
    I'm back.

    Welcome home, Nii-chan.

    Okay.
[18:27] Raido
    Where did you get those?!
[18:29] Raido
    Since you've got a bunch, can I have one?
[18:32] Raido
    No can do.
[18:33] Raido
    They were gifts, after all.
[18:34] Sister
    What?
[18:50] Raido
    This really is too close, right?
    It's like she keeps getting even closer.

    Say, "Ahhh."
[19:12] Raido
    Nah, that's okay.
[19:16] Raido
    I get it already...
     So please, one dish at a time.
[19:32] Raido
    What kind of creature is that?
[19:35] Raido
    Oh, it's Aharen-san.
[19:39] Raido
    Are you okay? You feeling ill?
[19:49] Raido
    Hey... A-Aharen-san?
[19:52] Aharen
    I woke up early, so I'm tired...
[19:56] Raido
    Is that all? I thought she might
    be sick or something.
[20:02] Raido
    Come on. Class is about to start. Look lively.
[20:06] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[20:10] Raido
    She'll be okay.
[20:17] Raido
    I'm impressed you stayed awake.
[20:24] Raido
    She's asleep with her eyes open!
[20:28] Raido
    I guess this was inevitable.
[20:32] Raido
    It's lunch break, Aharen-san.
[20:37] Raido
    No response...
[20:39] Raido
    Guess I'll go buy some bread or something.
[20:51] Raido
    Okay, I get it,
    so please stop crawling up me!
[21:01] Raido
    What's this?
[21:05] Raido
    Lunch for me?
[21:08] Raido
    You made this?
[21:12] Aharen
    I was hoping you'd like it...
[21:15] Aharen
    so I woke up early
    and put a lot of effort into it.
[21:18] Aharen
    But then I was so tired,
    I was a bother again.
[21:23] Aharen
    I'm sorry.
[21:26] Raido
    Nah.
[21:27] Raido
    It's no big deal.
[21:30] Raido
    If you're tired, you can lean on me.
[21:33] Raido
    The lunch is good, too. Thanks.
[21:38] Aharen
    Th-Thank you...
[21:42] Aharen
    I... think I will a little...
[21:46] Raido
    G-Go for it.
[21:52] Raido
    I think this goes way beyond just "leaning."
[21:55] Raido
    Aharen-san really is impossible to predict.
[22:01] Raido
    It's so hard to tell with her...
    in more ways than one.
[23:40] Raido
    Aharen-san... uh...
[23:44] Raido
    You might wanna wake up. Class is starting.
