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?

[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!
