[00:02] Aoi
    I heard it from the horse's mouth:
[00:04] Aoi
    Mimimi told you she liked you.
[00:06] Tomozaki
    Yeah. I'm sorry I hid it from you.
[00:10] Aoi
    That's all right. So for now...
[00:13] Aoi
    as you progress through your event map,
[00:16] Aoi
    you'll be focusing on Fuka instead,
SIGN    Event 1 Event 2 Event 3 Event 4 Minami Nanami
[00:19] Aoi
    since you've already met
    your goal with Mimimi.
[00:21] Tomozaki
    Again with that "goal" stuff...
[00:24] Aoi
    Still, if you'd like,
[00:27] Aoi
    you can check off the boxes
    for Mimimi, too.
SIGN    Event 5 Event 6 Event 7 Event 8 Minami Nanami
[00:32] Tomozaki
    Huh? Really?
[00:35] Aoi
    You do seem to prefer
    challenges that coincide with
[00:38] Aoi
    what you want to do.

[02:12] Mizusawa
    Okay, first of all,
[02:14] Mizusawa
    we decide who gets what part.
SIGN    Roles: Libra Kris
[02:16] Mizusawa
    Starting with the hero, Libra.
[02:19] Mizusawa
    What's he like?
[02:20] Tomozaki
    Libra is...
[02:21] Tomozaki
    He's good at closing the distance
    between him and others.
[02:24] Tomozaki
    He's considerate, smart, and
    brimming with curiosity.
[02:28] Takei
    That's me! Who else?
SIGN    Takei: 1 Tachibana: 10 Mizusawa: 23
[02:33] Yuzu
    Takahiro it is!
[02:35] Takei
    Huh?! Why?
[02:39] Mizusawa
    I'm not entirely sure I'm fit for
    the role, but since it's mine now...
[02:45] Mizusawa
    I'll do it proud.
SIGN    Libra: Mizusawa Kris Alucia
[02:47] Mizusawa
    Next is Kris.
[02:49] Tomozaki
    Kris is fearful, but so innocent—a
    slightly childlike girl.
SIGN    Seno: 5 Kashiwazaki: 9 Natsubayashi: 20
[02:57] Yuzu
    Tama it is!
[03:00] Hanabi
    Okay. I'll do my best.
[03:02] Mizusawa
    The last main character is Alucia.
[03:05] Tomozaki
    She's brilliant and quick-witted:
[03:08] Tomozaki
    the perfect girl whom
    everyone can rely on.
[03:13] Mizusawa
    Which means, well...
[03:15] Mizusawa
    you know.
[03:17] Aoi
    I see I'm going to have to raise my hand.
SIGN    Libra: Mizusawa Kris: Natsubayashi Alucia: Hinami
[03:21] Yuzu
    Okay, Aoi it is!
[03:23] Yuzu
    A round of applause for
    our three main characters!
SIGN    Good luck!
SIGN    Break a leg!
SIGN    Can't wait!
SIGN    Manga Café | Play
[03:31] Mizusawa
    Okay, so this is how we'll divvy things
    up between the play and the manga café.
[03:38] Fuka
    Thanks, Tomozaki.
[03:42] Fuka
    This is kind of fun. Now
    that we have our actors,
[03:47] Fuka
    I'm getting all these ideas...
[03:50] Tomozaki
    Oh, yeah?
[03:51] Mimimi
    B-Brain!
[03:53] Mimimi
    We need to have a meeting of our own!
[03:56] Mimimi
    I'm not sure we'll make it in time, though!
[03:58] Tomozaki
    Oh, right! The comedy act.
[04:01] Mimimi
    That's right, Brain! Did you
    forget? You little so-and-so!
[04:05] Tomozaki
    Sorry... I've been kinda busy.
[04:07] Mimimi
    Well, you are directing
    the class play, after all.
[04:10] Mimimi
    I'll do you a favor: how about
    we meet after school today?
[04:16] Tomozaki
    How is that doing me a favor?
[04:18] Mimimi
    Is that okay, Kikuchi?
[04:21] Fuka
    Um, sure.
[04:26] Tomozaki
    So, uh, what should we do?
[04:29] Mimimi
    Y-Yeah, Tomozaki... what?
[04:32] Tomozaki
    Did you have any suggestions?
[04:35] Mimimi
    Well, um... I was thinking about,
    like, a married-couple routine...
[04:40] Tomozaki
    M-Married couple...
[04:43] Mimimi
    But, um, then I changed my mind.
[04:47] Tomozaki
    Oh... okay.
[04:50] Mimimi
    Listen...
[04:53] Mimimi
    Look... I told you, didn't I?
[04:56] Tomozaki
    Um... you mean...
[04:59] Mimimi
    That I like you.
[05:01] Tomozaki
    R-Right...
[05:03] Mimimi
    What did you think? When
    I told you... like that.
[05:09] Tomozaki
    Um... I was glad. Really glad.
[05:14] Mimimi
    Uh-huh.
[05:16] Tomozaki
    But honestly...
[05:18] Tomozaki
    It's like I'm still not sure
    what exactly to do now.
[05:24] Mimimi
    Oh...
[05:25] Mimimi
    Still, you're probably—
[05:30] Mimimi
    Wait, is this okay?! I'm not getting
    annoying or anything, am I?
[05:33] Tomozaki
    No, no, it's fine...
[05:44] Mimimi
    W-Well, good.
[05:46] Tomozaki
    Y-Yeah.
[05:50] Tomozaki
    Hey...
[05:53] Tomozaki
    What do you think it means for
    a—for a girl and a guy to date?
[05:58] Mimimi
    Wh-Where'd that come
    from? A girl and a guy—?
[06:01] Tomozaki
    Y-Yeah. Like, why a couple would date.
[06:06] Mimimi
    Can I be serious for a second?
[06:09] Tomozaki
    Sure.
[06:10] Mimimi
    I told you before how I can't
    really break into first place,
[06:18] Mimimi
    that I can't be someone special.
[06:20] Mimimi
    I tell myself not to think that way,
[06:23] Mimimi
    but it's so deeply ingrained in me by now
[06:25] Mimimi
    that I can't really change.
[06:27] Mimimi
    But you... you gave me the chance to try.
[06:32] Tomozaki
    You mean, the election?
[06:34] Mimimi
    Yeah.
[06:35] Mimimi
    And with Tama and Erika... lots
    of times, really.
[06:40] Mimimi
    Even though I couldn't do anything at all,
[06:42] Mimimi
    it's like you changed the
    world to get things solved.
[06:46] Mimimi
    I want to be someone like you—
[06:49] Mimimi
    but that's not something I can do.
[06:53] Mimimi
    So, yeah!
[06:55] Mimimi
    At first it was kinda spur-of-the-moment,
    saying I liked you—like how I like Tama.
[06:58] Mimimi
    But the more I thought about it...
[07:01] Mimimi
    I started to realize that I felt the same.
[07:04] Tomozaki
    The same?
[07:06] Mimimi
    About you.
[07:08] Mimimi
    I really do like you.
[07:13] Mimimi
    So maybe that's it.
[07:15] Mimimi
    Maybe that's... the reason I chose you.
[07:20] Mimimi
    Oh, man—am I getting annoying again?!
[07:23] Tomozaki
    No, not at all.
[07:26] Mimimi
    Oh, geez, now I'm all embarrassed.
[07:29] Mimimi
    Forget what I said here today!
[07:31] Tomozaki
    Eh?! A-All right.
[07:34] Mimimi
    But I'd be too lonely if you
    forgot it all, so never mind.
[07:38] Tomozaki
    What the heck?
[07:40] Mimimi
    Look, a girl's mind is complicated, okay?
[07:42] Tomozaki
    It is, eh? Complicated, huh...
[07:46] Mimimi
    See you later, Brain!
[07:48] Mimimi
    Sleep warm!
[07:51] Tomozaki
    Hey... what about our comedy practice?
SIGN    Tomozaki
[08:00] Mimimi
    So maybe that's it.
[08:02] Mimimi
    Maybe that's... the reason I chose you.
[08:07] Tomozaki
    Then what about me?
[08:10] Tomozaki
    What are my special reasons?
[08:14] Fuka
    Here, Tomozaki.
SIGN    My Unfamiliar Way to Fly Second Draft
[08:16] Fuka
    Now that the roles have been
    assigned, I adjusted the dialogue.
[08:20] Tomozaki
    In one night?
[08:21] Fuka
    Yes. I still haven't finished
    the last scene, though.
[08:29] Tomozaki
    Ah... she changed more than
    just the dialogue, I see.
[08:35] Tomozaki
    Since Kris had been caring for
    the dragons all this time,
[08:38] Tomozaki
    she'd never left the garden.
[08:40] Tomozaki
    That's the kind of sad girl she was.
[08:43] Tomozaki
    But the garden had everything:
[08:47] Tomozaki
    a fluffy bed,
[08:49] Tomozaki
    fresh, clean water,
[08:52] Tomozaki
    a warm bath.
[08:55] Tomozaki
    She read fairy tales and books of myths.
[08:58] Tomozaki
    She was served the same
    meals as the royal family.
[09:02] Tomozaki
    But what the garden lacked
    was everything else.
[09:09] Tomozaki
    The first change is in the
    scene where they meet.
[09:13] Tomozaki
    When Kris, who lived in solitude
    —knowing neither joy nor sorrow—
[09:16] Tomozaki
    first meets Libra and Alucia,
[09:19] Tomozaki
    the first draft had her reacting like this:
[09:24] Kris (Fuka)
    Other... humans? Oh! I'm Kris!
[09:29] Kris (Fuka)
    What are your names?
[09:31] Tomozaki
    It showed her curiosity about the outside
    world, as well as how forthright she was.
[09:37] Tomozaki
    But after the rewrite, it went like this:
[09:40] Kris (Fuka)
    Other... humans?
[09:43] Kris (Fuka)
    Wh-Who are you? What are you doing here?
[09:47] Tomozaki
    Her guardedness and fear
    came to the forefront.
[09:50] Tomozaki
    Although she'd hoped to be
    released from her solitude,
[09:53] Tomozaki
    she still feared change
    and the unknown world.
[09:57] Tomozaki
    Libra, too, wasn't the simple hero
    he'd been in the first draft.
[10:04] Tomozaki
    He was awkward and made a lot of mistakes,
[10:06] Tomozaki
    but made friends via his
    resolve to see things through.
[10:09] Tomozaki
    Now he was more of a realistic young man.
[10:12] Tomozaki
    In other words, both of them had
    their weaknesses highlighted.
[10:17] Tomozaki
    But not Alucia.
[10:20] Tomozaki
    Take when she meets Kris and
    the dragon, for example.
[10:24] Tomozaki
    Originally, Alucia sensed
    danger and tried to escape,
[10:30] Tomozaki
    but in the revised script:
[10:32] Alucia (Fuka)
    Libra, move.
[10:34] Tomozaki
    Alucia immediately moves to break
    the dragon's wing herself.
[10:39] Tomozaki
    That makes it her fault that
    the dragon can no longer fly.
[10:43] Tomozaki
    It no longer matters
    whether Libra is unclean.
[10:47] Tomozaki
    But Libra notices and stops her.
[10:50] Libra (Fuka)
    What are you doing?
[10:51] Alucia (Fuka)
    It would take a lot to
    execute a royal like me.
[10:56] Alucia (Fuka)
    So please... let me do this.
[10:59] Libra (Fuka)
    But if you do, Alucia...
[11:01] Libra (Fuka)
    it's your heart that will die!
[11:07] Tomozaki
    Thanks to Alucia's bluff,
    Libra's life was spared.
[11:12] Tomozaki
    Here the story shifts to the
    relationships between the three
[11:16] Tomozaki
    during their time in the garden.
[11:18] Tomozaki
    With their new roles of
    caretaker and educator,
[11:22] Tomozaki
    the three built a warm but strange
    family-friend relationship.
[11:28] Tomozaki
    Kris enjoyed decorating with
    flowers and reading books.
[11:34] Tomozaki
    But to keep her from
    the world's impurities,
[11:37] Tomozaki
    she was allowed only
    myths and fairy tales.
[11:40] Tomozaki
    After exhausting the
    castle's stores of books,
[11:42] Tomozaki
    she became engrossed in Libra's
    tales of the outside world.
[11:47] Libra
    The giant dragon is actually
    the fastest of all dragons.
[11:52] Libra
    They move at such high speed: boosh, boosh!
[11:55] Kris
    Wow! Tell me more!
[11:58] Libra
    Nowadays there are even facilities that
    generate magic from their movements.
[12:04] Libra
    Apparently it was a huge discovery, being
    able to turn physical power into magic!
[12:08] Kris
    Really? That's amazing!
[12:10] Libra
    I know a little magic myself.
    Just one spell, though: Unlock.
[12:17] Kris
    That's physical power, isn't it?
[12:20] Kris
    What's magical about opening a lock?
[12:23] Libra
    You got me.
[12:25] Tomozaki
    Libra told her all about the real world.
[12:28] Tomozaki
    A world where people lived,
    sometimes argued,
[12:31] Tomozaki
    loved one another, and
    occasionally died.
[12:34] Libra
    But see...
[12:35] Libra
    As long as I have this, I can go all kinds
    of places and see all kinds of things.
[12:40] Libra
    So even if this is all I
    have, that's fine by me.
[12:44] Kris
    I see. Your Unlock is a very...
[12:49] Kris
    a very marvelous spell!
[12:52] Tomozaki
    Meanwhile, Alucia was talented
[12:54] Tomozaki
    and hard-working enough to
    have won magic tournaments.
[12:58] Tomozaki
    She was tough on Kris during
    their lessons together.
[13:01] Alucia
    Look, it's just some folk belief that
    holds all non-royals are tainted.
[13:05] Alucia
    There's no basis for it.
[13:06] Alucia
    Noble society loves its
    old-fashioned traditions.
[13:11] Kris
    Th-That's a little frightening...
[13:13] Kris
    Say, could we study something more pleasant?
[13:16] Kris
    Perhaps some delightful tales
    of the outside world...?
[13:19] Alucia
    Hmm... Okay, do you know
    what butterflies are?
[13:23] Kris
    Yuck! They're insects, aren't they?
[13:27] Kris
    Like this?
[13:29] Alucia
    That's a pill bug.
[13:30] Alucia
    Both are insects, but a
    butterfly is different.
[13:33] Kris
    But that's the only insect we have in here.
[13:36] Alucia
    See, this is why you need to study.
[13:39] Alucia
    You need basic knowledge to understand
    stories about the world outside.
[13:43] Kris
    Hmm, it feels like you're buttering me up...
[13:46] Kris
    Like a butterfly... get it?
[13:48] Alucia
    Mmm. Now let's pick up where we left off.
[13:51] Kris
    Oh, don't be a pill... bug! Get it?
[13:54] Alucia
    Yes, yes. Now, where we left off...
[14:00] Hanabi
    Tama-rrow!
[14:01] Kris
    Pill... bug!
[14:04] Tomozaki
    Kris is totally Tama.
[14:07] Tomozaki
    And this Alucia...
[14:10] Tomozaki
    She's way too similar to
    the face behind her mask.
[14:14] Tomozaki
    The story's turning point
    hinged on the flying dragon.
[14:18] Tomozaki
    Flying dragons become capable
    of flight before they turn 13.
[14:22] Tomozaki
    Those that can't fly by then are thought to
    have lost the power of flight due to impurities.
[14:29] Tomozaki
    The flying dragon Kris was
    raising turned 13 this year...
[14:32] Tomozaki
    and still couldn't fly.
[14:35] Tomozaki
    But what impurity could
    be robbing it of flight?
[14:40] Libra
    Kris, did you know?
[14:42] Libra
    Flying dragons can read people's minds.
[14:45] Kris
    Their minds?
[14:47] Libra
    They're kind, too.
[14:49] Libra
    They never forget all they owe
    to the human who raises them,
[14:53] Libra
    and they do all they can to
    grant that person's wishes.
[14:58] Kris
    Do you mean...
[15:00] Libra
    Say, Kris...
[15:04] Libra
    You don't want to fly, do you?
[15:08] Tomozaki
    In this way, Kris's weakness was revealed.
[15:12] Tomozaki
    The garden had everything.
    Everything and nothing.
[15:17] Tomozaki
    Therefore, she was lonely and
    wished she could leave. And yet...
[15:22] Tomozaki
    her desire to fly from this garden
    and gain everything it lacked
[15:28] Tomozaki
    was overshadowed by her
    fear of an unknown world.
[15:32] Tomozaki
    That's right: what kept the
    dragon tied down
[15:37] Tomozaki
    was none other than Kris's own mind.
SIGN    Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[15:43] Tomozaki
    That was really good.
[15:45] Tomozaki
    I think it's even more
    interesting than the novel.
[15:49] Fuka
    R-Really?
[15:50] Tomozaki
    Uh-huh.
[15:52] Tomozaki
    The part where they learn why the dragon
    can't fly stayed with me the most.
[15:57] Tomozaki
    Kris being afraid struck me
    as so realistic... so human.
[16:03] Fuka
    Oh? I thought it might.
[16:06] Tomozaki
    You did?
[16:07] Fuka
    Oh, um... Was there anything else?
[16:11] Tomozaki
    I liked what happened after they figured
    out what was up with the dragon, too.
[16:16] Fuka
    Oh! I like that part, too!
[16:19] Tomozaki
    Libra suggests that he and Kris
[16:22] Tomozaki
    both ride the dragon to see
    the outside world together.
[16:37] Tomozaki
    Kris was just afraid to see
    the world all by herself.
[16:42] Fuka
    That's right.
[16:43] Tomozaki
    But when she's with Libra... she can fly.
[16:47] Fuka
    Kris wanted to fly out into the glittering
    outside world, but was afraid.
[16:51] Fuka
    Libra's the one who brought her
    out of her lonely, walled garden.
[16:57] Fuka
    The view Kris saw from
    there must have changed
[17:01] Fuka
    the gray world she'd been
    seeing all her life.
[17:07] Fuka
    Ever since I was little, I'd felt
    like everything I saw was gray.
[17:15] Fuka
    What's wrong?
[17:17] Tomozaki
    Tell me: what was Libra
    especially good at again?
[17:22] Fuka
    Mmm... I'd say he was best at
    saying whatever was on his mind.
[17:29] Tomozaki
    This script isn't pure fiction.
[17:33] Tomozaki
    This is Kikuchi's own story.
[17:40] Tomozaki
    You want to know about Hinami?
[17:43] Fuka
    Yes.
[17:44] Fuka
    So I can paint a more detailed
    picture of Alucia's personality.
[17:49] Tomozaki
    Alucia's personality?
[17:52] Fuka
    Libra is awkward, Kris is fearful...
[17:55] Fuka
    Alucia is strong, but she needs a weakness.
[17:59] Fuka
    As I was writing, I started
    to have my doubts.
[18:03] Tomozaki
    Doubts?
[18:05] Fuka
    As in, how can Alucia even
    be this strong?
[18:14] Aoi
    An interview? Now you've got me nervous.
[18:17] Tomozaki
    Go ahead, Kikuchi.
[18:19] Fuka
    Okay.
[18:20] Fuka
    Um... What drives you to work
    so hard at so many things?
[18:27] Tomozaki
    But that interview was empty,
[18:29] Tomozaki
    just nice-sounding words with a little
    venom that seemed like it could be real.
[18:35] Tomozaki
    I doubt there were any answers that
    Kikuchi would want to put in her story.
[18:41] Fuka
    I think Hinami was lying to us.
[18:47] Fuka
    No matter how fluent her speech, the motive
    at the center of it all stayed hidden.
[18:52] Fuka
    She acted like she was saying
    how she really felt, though.
[18:56] Fuka
    Which means...
[18:58] Fuka
    Alucia isn't just going
    along with her environment
[19:01] Fuka
    and working hard out of a sense of duty...
[19:05] Fuka
    there's something... unusual there.
[19:10] Tomozaki
    I think so, too.
[19:12] Tomozaki
    But I didn't know what...
[19:14] Tomozaki
    even though I knew the face behind her mask.
[19:20] Tomozaki
    Care to dig a little deeper, Kikuchi?
[19:24] Tomozaki
    See what makes Hinami tick?
[19:31] Maebashi
    I'm Maebashi. Nice to meet you.
[19:34] Tomozaki
    Tomozaki. Same here.
[19:38] Fuka
    I-I'm Kikuchi. Glad you could come.
[19:42] Tomozaki
    Okay, let's get started.
[19:45] Tomozaki
    Oh, I do have Hinami's
    permission, by the way.
[19:48] Tomozaki
    Let's see...
[19:49] Tomozaki
    Tachibana went to middle school with Hinami.
[19:52] Tachibana
    Right.
[19:53] Tomozaki
    And Maebashi, you've been her
    classmate since grade school?
[19:57] Maebashi
    That's right.
[19:59] Tomozaki
    All right, we'll start with middle school.
[20:02] Tomozaki
    Has anything stuck with you, Tachibana?
[20:05] Tachibana
    What I remember... is her dating the
    Vice President of the boy's basketball club.
[20:11] Tomozaki
    Huh?! Really?
[20:13] Tachibana
    He was this cool older
    guy. The girls loved him.
[20:16] Tachibana
    And she dumped him right away!
[20:19] Tomozaki
    So she always stood out, huh...
[20:22] Maebashi
    Mmm...
[20:23] Maebashi
    I wouldn't say that.
[20:25] Tomozaki
    What do you mean?
[20:27] Maebashi
    I don't think Hinami stood out
    much in grade school, anyway.
[20:32] Fuka
    She didn't?
[20:34] Maebashi
    She was earnest, friendly—a good kid.
[20:37] Maebashi
    Oh, and I remember her being
    really family-oriented.
[20:42] Tachibana
    Right! So do I.
[20:44] Maebashi
    I got the impression that she
    loved her little sisters a lot.
[20:49] Tachibana
    Plural?
[20:51] Tomozaki
    Oh, so she has little sisters?
[20:54] Maebashi
    Say hi to Hinami for me!
[20:57] Tachibana
    Thanks for everything!
[21:02] Tomozaki
    What's up, Tachibana?
[21:05] Tachibana
    You know how Maebashi said "sisters," plural?
[21:08] Tomozaki
    Yeah, she did say that.
[21:10] Tachibana
    See, that's weird right there.
[21:13] Tachibana
    I mean, Aoi only has one younger sister.
[21:18] Tomozaki
    Are you sure about that?
[21:21] Tachibana
    Yeah, pretty damn sure.
[21:27] Tomozaki
    It's not really something we can pry into.
[21:30] Tomozaki
    She's never said a word about it.
[21:33] Tachibana
    Right...
[21:35] Fuka
    Let's just...
[21:37] Fuka
    stop here.
SIGN    My Unfamiliar Way to Fly Third Draft
[21:43] Fuka
    I've made some revisions concerning Alucia...
[21:46] Fuka
    but I haven't written past the scene
    where Kris takes flight with Libra.
[21:51] Tomozaki
    That's all right.
[21:52] Tomozaki
    We can do plenty of rehearsals
    with just the first half.
SIGN    Spare Classroom A In Use
[22:04] Tomozaki
    O-Okay!
[22:07] Tomozaki
    Let's do a read-through of our script!
