    How do you not remember me?
    How cruel can you be?!
[00:14] MIRA
    Good morning.
[00:16] TAKUMI
    Good morning.
[00:19] AOI
    G... Good morning.
[00:22] TAKUMI
    M-Morning.
[00:24] (Flashback) AOI

[02:03] TERUKO
    Mornin'.
[02:06] TERUKO
    Huh, Aoi-chan? Pretty unusual for you
    to be eating breakfast here.
[02:10] AOI
    Can't I?
[02:12] TERUKO
    'Course you can. I'm just wondering
    what brought this on.
[02:17] TERUKO
    Time to eat.
[02:19] AOI
    Nothing in particular.
[02:33] TOMIHIRO
    Explain this.
[02:36] SHOKICHI
    What is it?
[02:37] TOMIHIRO
    A notice for parents' visit day.
[02:39] TOMIHIRO
    Why didn't you tell me
    about something so important?
[02:41] REN
    Because I don't want you to come, obviously.
[02:45] TOMIHIRO
    Why not? How awful!
[02:46] REN
    Who's the awful one here?
[02:48] REN
    Search your heart, and you'll find the reason!
[02:54] REN
    Everything you just thought of. All of it.
[02:57] TOMIHIRO
    You could tell what I was thinking?
[03:01] REN
    "What could it be?
[03:03] REN
    Is it because I went in a T-shirt
    and sandals last time?
[03:07] REN
    Or is it because I was hungover
    and threw up in the boys' bathroom?
[03:10] REN
    Or is it maybe because I started flirting
    with his friend's mom?
[03:13] REN
    Or maybe..."
[03:14] TOMIHIRO
    Wow... You're amazing!
[03:16] TOMIHIRO
    You just read my mind. You must be a psychic!
[03:20] TOMIHIRO
    I'd better tell your teachers
    to develop your special ability in class...
[03:24] REN
    Don't you dare show up!
[03:28] NAOSUKE
    What's wrong?
[03:30] AOI
    We kissed...
[03:32] AOI
    I think.
[03:34] NAOSUKE
    You think?
[03:35] AOI
    I was drunk, so I don't remember clearly.
[03:41] NAOSUKE
    So he's the kind of guy
    who'd kiss a drunk girl?
[03:44] NAOSUKE
    Can't be too decent, if you ask me.
[03:49] AOI
    He treats everyone equally
    with love and care.
[03:53] AOI
    So I want to believe that he's a decent guy.
[03:57] NAOSUKE
    Do you hate the landlady?
[03:59] AOI
    Huh? Why do you ask?
[04:01] NAOSUKE
    Oh, just curious.
[04:03] AOI
    I don't hate hate her.
[04:05] AOI
    But she eats everything
    like it's the greatest meal ever.
[04:09] AOI
    I envy that.

[04:30] SHOIN
    So the Hubby spy stole a dummy key?
[04:34] MIRA
    Yeah. So things should be fine now.
[04:36] MIRA
    You didn't have to come pick me up.
[04:39] SHOIN
    It's still not safe.
    They'll know immediately that it's a fake.
[04:42] MIRA
    Really? How are they supposed to find out?
[04:45] MIRA
    I've never seen the actual one, either.
[04:47] MIRA
    If I were told it was the key,
    I'd probably believe it.
[04:52] MIRA
    What a beautiful day.
    Oh, I should've aired the futons.
[04:56] MIRA
    Did you know? Futons are really soft
    and nice to sleep in after you've aired them.
[05:01] SHOIN
    Mira.
[05:02] SHOIN
    We have more important things
    to take care of right now.
[05:11] SHOIN
    We need to find the key
[05:13] SHOIN
    and return to Planet Wid as soon as possible.
[05:16] SHOIN
    Bring up the entries on Astro Lodge.
[05:18] ALEXA
    Understood.
[05:21] SHOIN
    Let's review all the logs
    we have on that building.
[05:25] SHOIN
    You start over there, Mira.
[05:26] MIRA
    Okay.
[05:35] SHOIN
    What is it?
[05:35] MIRA
    Leaves are starting to clog up the gutter.
    I need to clean them up.
[05:42] MIRA
    Gosh, Room 3's window is wide open!
[05:46] MIRA
    Did I forget to close it
    after cleaning last time?
[05:49] MIRA
    It'll be bad news if it rains.
[05:51] MIRA
    Let me go close it real quick.
[05:52] SHOIN
    Mira!
[05:54] MIRA
    Oh, right. I guess it won't rain today,
    given how clear the skies were.
[05:58] SHOIN
    That's not the point.
[05:59] SHOIN
    Right now, you're barely acting
    like Planet Wid's next queen.
[06:03] SHOIN
    The title of Astro Lodge's caretaker
    suits you more.
[06:06] MIRA
    What? You really think so?
[06:08] SHOIN
    That wasn't a compliment.
[06:10] SHOIN
    What's gotten into you?
    Do you not want to go home to Planet Wid?
[06:14] SHOIN
    You're our princess.
[06:16] SHOIN
    The Widi are eagerly waiting for you
    to return with key in hand.
[06:19] MIRA
    I know that, but...
[06:22] SHOIN
    But?
[06:23] MIRA
    You know how we have so many rules
    we have to abide by all our lives?
[06:27] MIRA
    I've been having my doubts
    about them lately.
[06:30] MIRA
    I wonder if the established rules
    are really right for us.
[06:34] SHOIN
    Mira.
[06:35] SHOIN
    Have you fallen in love?
[06:36] MIRA
    Huh?
[06:38] MIRA
    Where did that come from?

[10:03] TERUKO
    And?
[10:04] TAKUMI
    "And"?
[10:04] TERUKO
    You were the only one who hadn't noticed.
[10:08] TAKUMI
    What's more, we worked
    at the same hotel, apparently.
[10:13] TERUKO
    "Apparently"? You don't remember?
[10:15] TAKUMI
    I don't.
[10:16] TERUKO
    Yikes. You're a jerk.
[10:18] TAKUMI
    B-But we had so many staff.
[10:21] TAKUMI
    Of course I don't remember
    each and every one.
[10:26] TERUKO
    "I'm such an asshole.
[10:29] TERUKO
    Not only did I forget all about Aoi-chan,
[10:31] TERUKO
    I accepted her invitation to the Insect
    Festival, which she meant as a date invite,
[10:34] TERUKO
    led her on, and toyed with her feelings
    like a total scumbag!"
[10:39] TAKUMI
    Please stop narrating for me!
[10:42] TAKUMI
    Also, "scumbag" is pushing it!
[10:45] TAKUMI
    What should I do?
[10:47] TAKUMI
    I don't know how to interact with Aoi-chan.
[10:51] TAKUMI
    What?
[10:52] TERUKO
    Beer tastes amazing when it's paired
    with a side dish of schadenfreude.
[10:56] TAKUMI
    You're the jerk here.

    Anyway, if you can't reciprocate her feelings,

    that she can move on.
[11:10] TERUKO
    So chicks are into guys like you, huh?
[11:12] TAKUMI
    It's not like that.
[11:15] TAKUMI
    Don't you have someone you like?
[11:17] TERUKO
    I have zero interest
    in dating and all that crap.
[11:21] TERUKO

    is what I live for! Terurun!

[11:33] TOMIHIRO
    Pardon me.
[11:35] TOMIHIRO
    I know the room's messy,
    but I only just got back from work.
[11:39] MIRA
    What? You work?!
[11:41] TOMIHIRO
    You don't have to act so surprised.
[11:43] MIRA
    Oh, sorry.
[11:45] TOMIHIRO
    I am technically unemployed,
[11:47] TOMIHIRO
    but I do day jobs
    when I'm seriously low on cash.
[11:51] TOMIHIRO
    Let me make you some tea.
[11:53] MIRA
    Oh, don't mind me.
[11:56] MIRA
    U-Um, so, about Ren-kun...
[11:59] TOMIHIRO
    Sorry for the trouble we're causing you.
[12:02] MIRA
    It's no trouble!
[12:05] TOMIHIRO
    He can be a stubborn kid
    who refuses to listen,
[12:10] TOMIHIRO
    but he'll grow bored of this
    and come back eventually.
[12:15] MIRA
    O-Oh, but...
[12:17] MIRA
    Ren-kun seems to be really against
    the idea of you visiting his school.
[12:21] MIRA
    Why not put his feelings first, just this time?
[12:25] TOMIHIRO
    I'm afraid I can't do that.
[12:27] MIRA
    Why not?
[12:28] TOMIHIRO
    I mean, I want to see where, how,
    and with whom he's studying.
[12:36] TOMIHIRO
    But, well, I can't have him
    getting bullied because of me,
[12:40] TOMIHIRO
    so I fully intend to behave this time around.
[12:43] TOMIHIRO
    I'll lay off the booze until the day is done.
[12:46] MIRA
    You? Lay off the booze?
[12:48] TOMIHIRO
    I'll make do with barley tea.
[12:56] MIRA
    Is that Ren-kun's mother?
[12:58] TOMIHIRO
    They look alike, right?
[13:00] MIRA
    They do, yes.
[13:03] TOMIHIRO
    And Ren and I look nothing alike.
[13:06] TOMIHIRO
    That's because we're not
    actually related by blood.
[13:09] MIRA
    What?
[13:10] TOMIHIRO
    It's not really a big secret or anything.
[13:13] TOMIHIRO
    We were never married, so when she passed,
[13:17] TOMIHIRO
    there was talk of sending Ren to an orphanage.
[13:21] TOMIHIRO
    But a lawyer friend of Tasuke-san's
    really helped us out,
[13:26] TOMIHIRO
    and so we got to live together as we do now.
[13:29] TOMIHIRO
    Whether we're blood-related or not
    doesn't matter one bit to me,
[13:35] TOMIHIRO
    but society seems to think otherwise.
[13:38] MIRA
    I had no idea.
[13:40] TOMIHIRO
    Back then, I realized
    beyond a shadow of a doubt
[13:44] TOMIHIRO
    that, of all the countless
    living things on Earth,
[13:47] TOMIHIRO
    I love Ren most of all!
[13:51] TOMIHIRO
    And nobody can tell me otherwise.
[13:54] TOMIHIRO
    Mira-san, have you ever met
    someone you love with all your heart?
[13:58] TOMIHIRO
    I can't say for sure, as I've basically
    stumbled my way through life,
[14:01] TOMIHIRO
    but it's not every day you meet such a person.
[14:04] TOMIHIRO
    I love Ren.
[14:06] TOMIHIRO
    And love can change
    your life in unexpected ways.
[14:13] TOMIHIRO
    Oh, but I guess I'm still
    stumbling my way through life.
[14:20] TOMIHIRO
    I ended up talking about something
    that's best discussed over a drink.
[14:24] TOMIHIRO
    Oh, look at the time.
[14:25] TOMIHIRO
    Have you had dinner yet?
[14:27] MIRA
    No, not yet.
[14:29] TOMIHIRO
    Ren needs to eat, too.
[14:31] TOMIHIRO
    You're taking care of him,
    so let me buy you something.
[14:35] MIRA
    You can't. Aren't you seriously low on cash?
[14:39] TOMIHIRO
    Shall we go to war?
[14:40] MIRA
    "War"?
[14:42] TOMIHIRO
    I mean the supermarket's half-off meals.
[14:44] MIRA
    What the heck?
[14:46] TOMIHIRO
    Don't you know?
[14:47] TOMIHIRO
    In the deli aisle of the supermarket
[14:49] TOMIHIRO
    are warriors eagerly awaiting
    the half-off discount stickers,
[14:54] TOMIHIRO
    and they go to war for the prizes they seek.
[14:56] TOMIHIRO
    In that way, the supermarket
    becomes a war zone every single night.

[15:48] REN

    You can come, but please never hit
    on my friends' mothers again.
[20:21] TOMIHIRO
    Ren!
[20:23] REN
    Cut it out, Pops!
[20:27] AOI
    He actually was a decent guy.
[20:29] AOI
    He stopped me before I could say anything
    so that I wouldn't have to get rejected.
[20:33] NAOSUKE
    You're awful cheery
    for someone with a broken heart.
[20:36] AOI
    I thought there was something I lacked.
[20:39] AOI
    But I just didn't know that I had it
    all along, and he helped me realize that.
[20:44] AOI
    And now I feel like there might be other
    things I've never noticed about myself.
[20:49] AOI
    It's changed the way I look at my life,
    in a positive direction.
[20:52] NAOSUKE
    Huh. I don't get it,
    but whatever makes you happy.
[20:56] AOI
    Maybe it's time for me to go out
    and see the world beyond Astro Lodge.
[21:01] AOI
    I owe it to you for easing me back
    into conversing with people. Thanks.
[21:06] NAOSUKE
    I haven't done a thing.
[21:08] AOI
    Oh, right. You know Naosuke, the dog?
[21:12] NAOSUKE
    Huh?!
[21:12] AOI
    You know, the landlady's pet.
[21:15] NAOSUKE
    Oh, right, yeah. I remember now.
[21:18] AOI
    Ren-kun told me that Naosuke wasn't a dog...
[21:26] AOI
    but actually a cat.
[21:28] NAOSUKE
    A cat?!
[21:30] AOI
    He says he saw him chasing a mouse around
    like the cat in that famous cartoon.
[21:36] NAOSUKE
    Th-That's great! A cat, huh?
[21:40] AOI
    But he's clearly a dog.
[21:44] AOI
    I'm scared of dogs, so I don't
    like Naosuke much either.
[21:53] MIRA
    Good morning.
[21:55] TAKUMI
    Good morning.
[21:56] MIRA
    Uh, Miyasaka-san?
[21:58] MIRA
    Do you have some time to talk later?
[22:15] AOI
    Octo-san?
