[01:31] ---
    Greensleeves was all my joy
[01:38] ---
    Greensleeves was my delight
[01:44] ---
    Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
[01:49] ---
    And who but my lady greensleeves
[01:58] ---
    What I'm about to share with you is
[02:01] ---
    the play of her with all her secrets,
[02:04] ---
    the story of Hatsune Misumi.
[02:13] ---
    My father is Sadaharu Togawa.
[02:15] ---
    Saki-chan's grandfather.
[02:19] ---
    I was born to a father who was devastated
    by the death of his longtime wife,
[02:23] ---
    and a mother who mourned for her as well,
[02:25] ---
    a woman who had been the caretaker
    of the Togawa family's villa.
[02:31] ---
    When my father found out about me,
[02:34] ---
    he invited my mother and me
    to live together in Tokyo.
[02:39] ---
    However, since my father
    was an adopted son-in-law,
[02:42] ---
    officially acknowledging me, a daughter
    who did not carry the Togawa bloodline,
[02:46] ---
    would essentially mean his downfall.
[02:50] ---
    Upon realizing this, my mother decided
    to raise me alone on this island,
[02:54] ---
    determined not to cause
    any trouble for my father.
[03:00] ---
    My foster father, who was
    a fisherman on the island,
[03:02] ---
    accepted my mother along with me.
[03:06] ---
    In our happy home, a new life
    eventually began to take shape.
[03:12] ---
    I wasn't happy.
[03:16] ---
    Yes, I gained a little sister.
[03:20] ---
    Her name is Uika.
[03:23] ---
    She looked a lot like me,
[03:26] ---
    but her personality was bright and proactive,
[03:27] ---
    the complete opposite of me.
[03:30] ---
    "When I grow up, I'm going to be an idol!
[03:33] ---
    I'm definitely going to Tokyo!"
[03:36] ---
    To Uika who always said that, I said,
[03:41] ---
    "You're cute, Uika, so I'm
    sure you can become one."
[03:46] ---
    While offering her words of support,
[03:49] ---
    I was filled with insecurity about my sister.
[03:54] ---
    My foster father cherished
    me despite my feelings,
[03:58] ---
    but his kindness only made me feel even
    more like an outsider within the family.
[04:05] ---
    I was the only one who wasn't truly family.
[04:09] ---
    I felt suffocated.
[04:11] ---
    Every time I felt like I was about
    to choke, I would go outside.
[04:15] ---
    Only when I gazed at the starry
    sky in the mountains at night,
[04:18] ---
    did I feel like I could breathe.
[04:20] ---
    I would take deep breaths.
[04:23] ---
    Again and again.
[04:25] ---
    Deeply, deeply.
[04:31] ---
    It was like a great sigh.
[04:36] ---
    Summer arrived.
[04:39] ---
    It was summer break.
[04:41] ---
    Uika and I had a daily routine of
    bringing the lunch our mother made
[04:45] ---
    to our father at the fishing port.
[04:50] ---
    On our way back.
[04:51] ---
    "Not fair! It's always you, big sis!"
[04:55] ---
    "There are also your favorite sweets, Uika."
[04:58] ---
    Uika grabbed a slightly larger handful
    of sweets than she could eat alone
[05:02] ---
    and cheerfully dashed up the steep slope.
[05:08] ---
    "Big sis, hurry up!"
[05:12] ---
    I looked up at her voice urging me to hurry.
[05:15] ---
    At the top of the mountain, I
    saw the Togawa family's villa.
[05:21] ---
    I knew.
[05:23] ---
    In the summer, my niece, who was
    the same age as me, would come.
[05:27] ---
    It was my mother who told me.
[05:30] ---
    The name of the girl I was absolutely
    forbidden to meet was...
[05:34] ---
    Sakiko Togawa.
[05:36] ---
    Even though we are both
    children of the Togawa family,
[05:39] ---
    she is blessed and lives happily…
[05:43] ---
    Yet I...
[05:46] ---
    am all alone...
[05:50] ---
    Perhaps wondering why I had stopped,
[05:54] ---
    Uika followed my gaze and
    then smiled brightly.
[05:58] ---
    "I played with the girl
    from there two days ago!"
[06:01] ---
    "Saki-chan was so cute!"
[06:03] ---
    "Huh?"
[06:04] ---
    "Saki-chan knows everything, can do anything,
[06:08] ---
    and told me all about Tokyo.
[06:10] ---
    When I said I wanted to
    become an idol in Tokyo,
[06:13] ---
    she promised to support me."
[06:16] ---
    "Hatsune, you should come with me too!"
[06:19] ---
    I had been strictly told by my
    mother that I must never meet her.
[06:24] ---
    We would both be doomed to unhappiness...
[06:27] ---
    "I'm not going. Uika, you
    shouldn't go either."
[06:30] ---
    "Huh? Why? That's weird.
[06:33] ---
    I already promised to play with her."
[06:39] ---
    No matter what I said, she
    wouldn't listen to me.
[06:42] ---
    The sweets she held in her hand
    were surely meant for Saki-chan.
[06:47] ---
    It's so unfair...
[06:50] ---
    Uika told me everything she had played
    and talked about with Saki-chan
[06:54] ---
    in vivid detail as if she were
    sharing her very memories with me.
[06:58] ---
    She told me how Saki-chan had
    invited her to go bug hunting.
[07:02] ---
    How she had caught a big
    rhinoceros beetle for her.
[07:05] ---
    How they both screamed together when
    a huge spider suddenly appeared.
[07:10] ---
    Throughout the summer nights,
[07:11] ---
    I listened to countless stories
    about Saki-chan from Uika.
[07:15] ---
    What kind of girl is she?
[07:20] ---
    I imagined and dreamed,
[07:23] ---
    what if it were me by Saki-chan's
    side instead of Uika?
[07:28] ---
    It's not fair that only
    Uika gets to have fun.
[07:30] ---
    I want to play too.
[07:33] ---
    It's unfair.
[07:34] ---
    Unfair, unfair!
[07:35] ---
    UNFAIR!
[07:39] ---
    As summer break neared its end,
[07:42] ---
    Uika came down with a fever.
[07:44] ---
    "I promised to play with Saki-chan..."
[07:48] ---
    I want to play with her too.
[07:49] ---
    "She's going back to Tokyo tomorrow,
    and I really wanted to see her..."
[07:53] ---
    I want to see her too!
[08:02] ---
    Before I knew it, I was standing
    in front of the villa.
[08:06] ---
    "You must never go to that villa."
[08:09] ---
    I remembered my mother's quiet voice.
[08:12] ---
    But...
[08:13] ---
    Kiyotsugu-san, it's great that we came here!
[08:16] ---
    How was it, Sakiko?
[08:17] ---
    It was fun!
[08:18] ---
    The sound of joyful laughter...
[08:20] ---
    I had never laughed like that before.
[08:24] ---
    "Morning's greetings."
[08:26] ---
    Our eyes met.
[08:28] ---
    I tried to run away, but…
[08:30] ---
    "Uika, what shall we play today?"
[08:36] ---
    I'm not Uika...
[08:39] ---
    "Uika?"
[08:41] ---
    I'm...
[08:44] ---
    "Let's go catch bugs!"
[08:46] ---
    "I know a place where there
    are big butterflies!"
[08:49] ---
    I imitated Uika's smile.
[08:53] ---
    And just like that, I spent the
    entire day playing with Saki-chan.
[08:57] ---
    I shouted with excitement like Uika,
[09:00] ---
    laughed like Uika,
[09:01] ---
    and had an unbelievably wonderful time.
[09:04] ---
    Before I knew it, it was evening.
[09:11] ---
    "You're leaving tomorrow, right?"
[09:14] ---
    "Yes, I wish we could have played more."
[09:18] ---
    "Then...
[09:20] ---
    shall we play at night too?"
[09:22] ---
    "Huh? But it's scary at night..."
[09:26] ---
    "I'll come for you.
[09:28] ---
    I'll knock on the window as a signal."
[09:39] ---
    Click, clink.
[09:42] ---
    I threw a small stone at the window
    of the room Saki-chan had shown me.
[09:53] ---
    Click, clink.
[09:56] ---
    I could see Saki-chan
    through the open window.
[09:59] ---
    We took each other's hands
    and started running.
[10:06] ---
    "Aren't you scared?"
[10:07] ---
    "Not as long as Uika is with me.
[10:09] ---
    I'm so excited because it feels
    like the start of an adventure."
[10:13] ---
    The two of us ran on in a world
    where no one else was around.
[10:18] ---
    "It's glowing!"
[10:22] ---
    We raised our voices to the countless stars
    spread across the deep blue night sky.
[10:27] ---
    "There are so many stars!"
[10:31] ---
    "Lyra, Cygnus, Aquila,
    and the Summer Triangle."
[10:39] ---
    "Orion, Scorpius, Sagittarius,
    and the Big Dipper."
[10:47] ---
    I traced the stars with my fingertips.
[10:50] ---
    It felt like the two of us were
    traveling through the night sky.
[10:53] ---
    This is fun!
[10:54] ---
    I thought from the bottom of my heart.
[10:57] ---
    I named every star I knew,
[11:00] ---
    and when I glanced to the side,
[11:03] ---
    I found Saki-chan staring at me.
[11:06] ---
    "Uika, you are such a mysterious person."
[11:09] ---
    "You're usually bright like the sun,
[11:12] ---
    but today, you're gentle like the moon."
[11:15] ---
    "Moon...?"
[11:19] ---
    A beam of light shone through.
[11:22] ---
    Light filled this dim world of mine.
[11:26] ---
    I felt as if I had been reborn.
[11:29] ---
    I had always longed to
    be illuminated like this!
[11:32] ---
    I was so happy!
[11:34] ---
    Ever since I was born, I have
    always been a pitiful child!
[11:38] ---
    You turned me, a pitiful being, into a human!
[11:41] ---
    I LOVE YOU!
[11:42] ---
    Sweet Saki-chan...
[11:44] ---
    My very own Saki-chan...!
[11:46] ---
    Saki-chan, Saki-chan!
[11:47] ---
    Let's stay together forever...!
[11:49] ---
    "Uika will definitely become an idol."
[11:52] ---
    "Huh...?"
[11:55] ---
    That's Uika's dream.
[12:00] ---
    But
[12:02] ---
    when Saki-chan looked at me with
    eyes sparkling like the Milky Way,
[12:08] ---
    I couldn't say anything.
[12:14] ---
    This is
[12:16] ---
    the beginning of the secret.
    the beginning of the liar.
[12:19] ---
    No one knows,
[12:21] ---
    and no one must know.
[12:24] ---
    The girl that strangled her own neck.
[12:27] ---
    The play of a girl
[12:30] ---
    with all her secrets.
[12:44] ---
    My foster father died.
[12:47] ---
    He never returned from the sea.
[12:49] ---
    I comforted Uika, who kept crying.
[12:53] ---
    I'm the older sister, so I shouldn't cry.
[12:56] ---
    I must support my mother and Uika.
[12:59] ---
    I was desperately trying to
    hold back my tears, but...
[13:02] ---
    "Hatsune, you aren't sad
    because he's not your dad!"
[13:07] ---
    I loved him as well!
[13:10] ---
    "Weren't you feeling suffocated?"
[13:12] ---
    "He treated you with care,
    yet all you do is complain."
[13:15] ---
    I was grateful for being raised
    as if I were his own child!
[13:19] ---
    "You're probably enjoying
    playing the sad one, right?"
[13:24] ---
    I want to see Saki-chan...
[13:28] ---
    "Is it because you want Saki-chan
    to see how pitiful you are?"
[13:30] ---
    "You're good at playing the victim
    and getting sympathy, aren't you?"
[13:34] ---
    That's not it!
[13:35] ---
    "You like Saki-chan?"
[13:36] ---
    "Really?"
[13:38] ---
    "It's all a lie! Nothing but lies!"
[13:40] ---
    "How pitiful you are, the
    heroine of a tragedy."
[13:43] ---
    "But you can't play the role if there's no happy child."
    No. No.
[13:45] ---
    "Saki-chan is the stage prop for the tragedy!"
    No. No. NO!
[13:47] ---
    "I LOVE YOU!"
    NO! NO!
[13:49] ---
    NO! NO!! NO...
[13:52] ---
    I want to see...
[13:54] ---
    Saki-chan...
[13:56] ---
    Saki-chan, Saki-chan, Saki-chan,
[13:59] ---
    Saki-chan, Saki-chan, Saki-chan!
[14:01] ---
    SAKI-CHAN!
[14:07] ---
    If I go to Tokyo...
[14:09] ---
    will I be able to see Saki-chan?
[14:14] ---
    That night, I left the house
    with just a small bag,
[14:18] ---
    and the pocket money I had saved up.
[14:22] ---
    The deck of the last ferry was
    strangely vast and lonely.
[14:29] ---
    As the cold night wind howled beside my ears,
[14:32] ---
    the shadow of the island growing smaller,
[14:35] ---
    reminded me of my mother crying with
    her back hunched at the funeral,
[14:40] ---
    and I cried a little.
[14:47] ---
    As soon as I arrived in Tokyo, I was scouted.
[14:50] ---
    I'm Mana Sumita, the five-time consecutive
    champion of the national singing contest!
[14:54] ---
    Let's become idols together!
[14:56] ---
    If I become an idol,
    Saki-chan might notice me.
[15:00] ---
    What's your name?
[15:02] ---
    I can't use my name... It can't be Hatsune.
[15:06] ---
    I have to become someone Saki-chan knows.
[15:10] ---
    Uika...
[15:12] ---
    I'm Uika Misumi.
[15:14] ---
    I'm the worst.
[15:16] ---
    I've abandoned my mother,
    my family, even my name.
[15:20] ---
    As a minor, I would need my parents'
    permission to live in Tokyo.
[15:26] ---
    Sadaharu Togawa.
[15:28] ---
    I gave the name of my real father.
[15:31] ---
    I could get a little closer
    to Saki-chan by doing that.
[15:36] ---
    The people at the agency
    were slightly surprised.
[15:40] ---
    I didn't understand why they
    didn't ask more questions.
[15:45] ---
    I didn't understand why I didn't
    have to go back to the island.
[15:48] ---
    At that time, I knew nothing.
[15:52] ---
    As Uika, I was set to debut as sumimi.
[15:59] ---
    The opening event was in a large,
    new commercial building in the city.
[16:04] ---
    It was such a glamorous stage
    that it felt strange for
[16:06] ---
    a rookie before their debut
    to be standing on it.
[16:09] ---
    The world I saw while singing was
    filled with sparkling adults,
[16:13] ---
    and it seemed like a world
    completely out of my reach.
[16:16] ---
    Thank you!
[16:18] ---
    But,
[16:20] ---
    there was one voice I knew.
[16:24] ---
    Kiyotsugu Togawa.
[16:26] ---
    Saki-chan's father.
[16:29] ---
    I saw it as my chance when I spotted him
[16:32] ---
    stepping out of the constant
    chatter for a breather.
[16:36] ---
    Maybe I could see Saki-chan.
[16:38] ---
    "Excuse me, are you Saki-chan's father?"
[16:42] ---
    Uika, who had gotten along with
    his daughter on the island.
[16:46] ---
    That was enough for him to remember.
[16:49] ---
    Uika-chan, who aimed to become an idol.
[16:51] ---
    It seems that Saki-chan talked
    about Uika so much every day
[16:54] ---
    that even her father remembered her.
[16:58] ---
    A sharp pain struck my chest.
[17:02] ---
    "Congratulations. You've
    made your dream come true."
[17:05] ---
    He was so happy for me as if
    it was his own achievement.
[17:09] ---
    I was happy.
[17:10] ---
    Maybe I could open up to this person.
[17:14] ---
    I opened up about my father.
[17:18] ---
    I said I believed my debut was
    made possible with his support.
[17:21] ---
    I wanted them to know how grateful I am.
[17:24] ---
    That was a mistake.
[17:26] ---
    "And so, I want to see Saki-chan..."
[17:30] ---
    I must not go to the villa.
[17:33] ---
    Why did my mother only say that to me?
[17:36] ---
    Everything was a mistake.
SIGN    "Saki-chan, my debut is confirmed" "Really!?' "Yes. They told me to not tell anyone besides my family members, but I want to tell you." "Congratulations." "Your dream of becoming a professional comes true." "You'll be fine with your optimistic attitudes." "Sometimes I get a bit anxious." "I am not worried even a bit." "Thank you. I thought you would say that."
[17:41] ---
    The tragedy began.
[17:44] ---
    "Aren't you ashamed as a parent?"
[17:47] ---
    "That girl said she was grateful!"
[17:49] ---
    "To you, who abandoned your
    responsibilities as a parent,
[17:52] ---
    without recognition or support!"
[17:54] ---
    "It's not too late."
[17:55] ---
    "You should bring up at
    the next family meeting
[17:57] ---
    that she be welcomed into the Togawa family."
[18:00] ---
    "Don't pretend to be so sincere."
[18:02] ---
    "If the Togawa family finds out,
[18:04] ---
    not only will it affect us, but
    it will also reach Sakiko."
[18:09] ---
    "Make sure to tell Hatsune clearly,
[18:12] ---
    so she never gets close to
    the Togawa family again."
[18:14] ---
    "But..."
[18:15] ---
    "You don't understand the terrifying
    power of the Togawa family."
[18:21] ---
    "I'll pretend I didn't hear that."
[18:23] ---
    "If you care about Sakiko,
    keep your mouth shut."
[18:31] ---
    Saki-chan's father
[18:33] ---
    lost everything because of me.
[18:36] ---
    That's not it!
[18:37] ---
    I took him away from Saki-chan!
[18:40] ---
    I took Saki-chan's father from her!
[18:43] ---
    The grand house she was born and raised in!
[18:45] ---
    Her entire life!
[18:48] ---
    I never thought it would
    turn out like this...
[18:52] ---
    I just wanted to see her...
[18:56] ---
    I wanted to see her so badly...
[18:59] ---
    A house smaller than the entrance of the
    mansion she had lived in until yesterday.
[19:03] ---
    To help support the household,
[19:05] ---
    she worked, worked, worked, and worked.
[19:10] ---
    Her family, her friends,
    and even her smiles...
[19:14] ---
    I took away everything from her.
[19:17] ---
    And yet...
[19:19] ---
    What, a band?
[19:21] ---
    All right. I'm in.
[19:23] ---
    Even though I shouldn't...
[19:25] ---
    It's a request from you, Saki-chan.
[19:27] ---
    You should come to my house.
[19:29] ---
    You can stay here as long as you want.
[19:31] ---
    I'll always stay by your side.
[19:34] ---
    Even though I shouldn't...
[19:36] ---
    Shared destiny, huh…
[19:38] ---
    You can stay here... as long as you want.
[19:41] ---
    Even without Mujica...
[19:44] ---
    Will you...
[19:46] ---
    stay with me?
[19:48] ---
    Let's reunite Ave Mujica.
[19:49] ---
    Let's stay together forever.
[19:52] ---
    Even though I shouldn't...
[19:55] ---
    the fact that I keep deceiving Saki-chan
    by saying things like that...
[20:02] ---
    makes me feel disgusted...
[20:12] ---
    Hatsune.
[20:14] ---
    Go back home.
[20:24] ---
    Don't ever see Hatsune again.
[20:26] ---
    You don't need to go to school either.
[20:30] ---
    You're going to Switzerland.
[20:31] ---
    Don't leave the house until
    all the procedures are done.
[21:05] ---
    Uika...
[21:06] ---
    Why aren't you answering?
SIGN    "No response" "Where are you right now?" "Call me if you see this." "No response"
[21:13] ---
    Uika...
[21:18] ---
    That must be Uika!
[21:19] ---
    Togawa-san and Misumi-san,
[21:21] ---
    why did you skip practice today?
[21:24] ---
    I'm talking about Ave Mujica's practice!
[21:26] ---
    I want you to stop doing
    this without any notice!
[21:29] ---
    It's traumatic!
[21:30] ---
    What exactly did I do wrong?
[21:33] ---
    Are you still not able to trust me, even now?
[21:36] ---
    As for Misumi-san, I can't
    even get in touch with her,
[21:38] ---
    and she's not coming to school either!
[21:40] ---
    When I visited her house,
[21:41] ---
    I found last week's town
    newsletter still in the mailbox!
